GoodReadRaymond raised a hand and wiped her lips. "What is it?" Scarlett looked up at him. She remembered the things Jean had told her an hour ago. Then she remembered the tone Raymond had used when he told her about his relationship with Jean not long ago, causing Scarlett to hesitate for the first time.
Scarlett thought, 'Since Raymond is not a descendant from the Shaw family, whose child is he anyway?’ Or maybe Raymond was just a tool for Jean to get into the Shaw family.
If that was the case, it was really a brutal truth.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe truth was a little hard for Scarlett to talk about at this point.
When Raymond saw that she didn't say anything, Raymond's eyebrows moved slightly. "Did she scold you?" At his words, Scarlett snapped back to attention and shook her head. "No." She said as she lowered her eyes. Looking at Raymond's big hand in hers, Scarlett pursed her lips. "She showedthe file. It is about you." "What is it about?" "The results of the paternity test between you and your father, and you and Thomas." Scarlett lifted her head and looked straight into his eyes. "You are not related to your father and Thomas." Raymond's dark eyes moved as he looked at her. "Since Jean showed you the results, is she trying to get you to help Thomas?" "Yeah." Scarlett replied to him. Her hand gripped his index finger back. "Raymond, are you not feeling well?" Scarlett spoke as she moved a little. "If you're not feeling well, may | give you a hug?" It was the first tScarlett had ever encountered such a situation.
Raymond must have felt very upset. He hadn't seemed to enjoy much caring from his family during the past twenty years. Although he was very capable and outstanding, he sometimes couldn't help but wonder if he was so terrible that his parents didn't like him.
Although Raymond's grandfather liked Raymond, it was only because Zacharie was unreliable. Besides, Raymond's grandfather only had one son, Zacharie. And Raymond happened to be Zacharie s most capable son.
However, Raymond now knew that he was not Zacharie and Jean's son.
It sounded like a joke. Looking at Scarlett in front of him, Raymond saw that Scarlett's usually gentle smiling eyes were filled with worry.
Then he raised his hand and held Scarlett into his arms. "A little.” However, it was not that hard for Raymond to take it.
The chains that had imprisoned him for years were completely broken at this moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRaymond suddenly smiled. "It’s not easy for Jean to keep this secret." Jean had kept this secret for so many years. Now, she was willing to reveal this secret to save Thomas. It seemed Jean had the idea to fight him to the death.
Scarlett looked up at Raymond. "I turned her down. She should be on her way to find other relatives of the Shaw family by now." "I'm not a member of the Shaw family. If she wanted to reveal the secret, she would have done it years ago.
However, now, she decided to reveal it. There must be something else going on here." Raymond said and then paused for a moment. "She may not dare to tell the Shaw family's relatives about it now." Raymond's suspicions were correct.
Jean did have the idea of going to meet the collateral relatives of the Shaw family to reveal Raymond's identity on her way home. However, she hesitated after she returned to the villa and calmed down.
It was true that Raymond was not her biological son. However, the Shaw family’s relatives had been trying to take Tenton away for a long time.
While she did not have a share in Tenton, Thomas did. Although Thomas' shares were small, if Tenton had been going strong, Thomas would have had enough shares to support him to live for the rest of his life.
In addition, the Shaw family's relatives were devious and vicious. If Tenton had fallen into their hands, Thomas would have received very little in dividends each year. Since Jean was able to marry into the Shaw family, she must not be stupid.
