Jean stared at Scarlett for a moment. When Jean saw Scarlett standing there looking at her calmly all the time, she could only grit her teeth and leave.
Katherine led Jean away. As she went out, she helped Scarlett close the office door softly.
After the sound of closing the door broke off, Scarlett was left alone in the office. And the smile on her face instantly dissipated.
The fact that Raymond was not related to Zacharie and Jean was a real shock to Scarlett.
The fact that Jean had given birth to Raymond and then ran off with her lover was known throughout Juanton City. If anyone wanted to know about it, one could ask those people that had been in this circle for a long time, because they must have heard about it.
Jean had also been scolded for years because of this incident. Although the Shaw family was very wealthy and influential, Jean becthe most honored Madam Shaw of the Shaw family after Raymond's grandfather and Zacharie passed away. However, there were still people who occasionally mention what had happened before in private.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe reason Jean was scorned for so many years was that she was not only flirtatious but also ruthless.
However, Jean had not revealed that Raymond was neither Zacharie s son nor her son for so many years.
Now, Jean threw a stack of information to tell her that Raymond was not a member of the Shaw family. And Raymond was not related to the Shaw family at all.
If this news got out, imagine the uproar it would cause.
And for Raymond, it would be a fatal blow.
Raymond's grandfather had personally named Raymond as his heir before he passed away, but only if Raymond was a member of the Shaw family.
If Raymond were not a member of the Shaw family, it was clear that all the shares under his nwould not belong to him.
This was clearly stated in Raymond's grandfather's will. Thus, he would give all his shares to his oldest grandson, Raymond.
However, Raymond was no longer his grandson, and he was no longer a member of the Shaw family.
In addition, the Shaw family's relatives had taken many actions over the years. If Jean had spread the news to those relatives, the Shaw family would have been on the verge of a vicious war.
Scarlett thought for a moment and then cback to her senses. Then she grabbed her bag and cell phone and went out of the office.
When the elevator doors opened, Scarlett saw Katherine, who had just sent Jean off, inside the elevator.
Katherine was stunned to see Scarlett, who was leaving with her handbag. "Miss Reed, are you leaving?" Scarlett nodded. "I have something to take care of. In a moment, you can ask Mr. Hopkins to help receive the people from Best Corporation." Seeing Scarlett frown, Katherine knew that Scarlett must have something important to deal with. "I got it, Miss Reed." "Okay, I'm going out." Scarlett said as she went into the elevator.
Half an hour later, her car was parked under Tenton.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was Scarlett's first visit to Tenton since her divorce from Raymond.
The receptionists looked unfamiliar to Scarlett. Scarlett walked in wearing an orange and pink dress, carrying a handbag, and stepping on her heels. She had a more beautiful face than any celebrity on TV. When the two receptionists saw Scarlett, they were stunned at first. Then the receptionist on the left was the first to react.
"Miss Reed, are you here to see Mr.
Shaw?" When new employees joined the company, one of the staff training programs was to recognize the faces of senior employees from their pictures. One of those faces was Scarlett's.
Scarlett was not an employee in Tenton. However, as the employees in Tenton, most of them knew about Scarlett's relationship with Raymond from the gossip.
Scarlett was the former and the future Mrs. Shaw. Thus, normal employees couldn't really afford to offend Scarlett.
Scarlett smiled a little. "Yes. It's kind of last minute.” Scarlett implied that she hadn't made an appointment with Raymond in advance.
"Mr. Lewis told us that if you chere, you can go straight upstairs." The receptionist said as she stepped out and guided Scarlett to the CEO's exclusive elevator. Then, the receptionist entered the code and let Scarlett in.
