GoodReadIn the end, both Scarlett and Larry fell silent.
Though these were good questions, Scarlett and Larry had no good answers.
It was not a good choice for Scarlett to take Raymond to attend Rowan’s birthday party, as Rowan may get annoyed. But she was unwilling to take another man.
Larry was in an even more terrible situation. As he didn’t have a girlfriend, there was no one that he could take to the party.
So, why did Scarlett and Larry have to talk about this topic? Larry probably realized that it was not easy to tease Scarlett, so he changed the subject. "Pay attention to Raymond and the Shaw family." Now that Larry stopped teasing her, Scarlett also ceased dissing him. "I know." The car arrived at the airport soon. Scarlett didn't take any luggage this time, and she didn’t need to bring any luggage back.

"Will Raymond take the same flight with you?" As soon as he got out of the car, Larry suddenly asked.
Scarlett nodded, and she felt a little embarrassed. "He's at the airport." "Well." Larry added, "Call me when you arrive in Juan ton City." "Okay." "Bye." "Be careful on the road. Bye." Then Scarlett turned around and entered the airport.
Larry watched her disappear from sight before driving away.
As soon as Scarlett entered the airport, she saw Raymond. He didn’t take any luggage either. With a suit jacket in his hand, he stood near the elevator where people came and went. As he was handsome, the attention of many passengers was attracted by him.
Raymond saw her, too. He walked towards her and hugged her. "Did Larry drive you here?" Raymond held her so tightly that she felt her cheeks burning.
Recalling the dream last night, she answered "yes” and couldn't help looking up at him.
Raymond took her up the escalator. When he saw her gazing at him, his black eyes blinked. "Scarlett." Noticing the flames in his black eyes, Scarlett turned her gaze away and said, " Larry also knew about what happened between you and the Shaw family.” Raymond nodded. "Jean met Ryker the day before yesterday." The situation of the Shaw family was actually somewhat similar to that of the Tank family. Raymond's grandpa had only one son, Zacharie, in his life. Ryker, the oldest living elder of the Shaw family, was the son of Raymond's grandpa's younger brother.
Ryker retired last year. Before he retired, he arranged for his youngest son, Scott, to work in Teuton.
Ryker’s eldest son, Harold, worked in Teuton when Raymond's grandpa was still alive. After Ryker retired last year, Raymond fired the workers who pledged loyalty to Ryker and then made Harold a figurehead. As for Scott, he was just an unimportant manager.
In the past few years, Harold and the others had kept finding fault with Raymond, but failed. Because Raymond owned the dominant shares of Teuton, no one could pose a threat to his position.
Harold stopped causing trouble after Ryker retired, as Harold probably knew that he was not able to shake Raymond's position in Teuton.

First, Raymond was the legitimate heir to Tenton. Second, only the shares that Raymond inherited from Sally heavily outnumbered those of Ryker and his family.
But if they knew that Raymond didn't belong to the Shaw family, Ryker and the others would definitely rake their brains to grab the power from Raymond.
So, after Jean met Ryker, Raymond asked Frank to investigate what Ryker and his family had done in the past few years.
Raymond never fought an unprepared battle. What Jean had done reminded him to be vigilant.
Raymond had never thought of hiding these things from Scarlett.
Hearing what he said, Scarlett guessed that Raymond had made preparations. She glanced at him and asked, "Do you think you really don't belong to the Shaw family?
