Everyone was amazed by the news about the Shaw family. They had thought that Raymond was clearly not Zacharie's son. However, the truth was quite the opposite.
Raymond's grandpa's lawyer not only publicly confirmed that Raymond is Zacharie's son, but also sent a letter to Jean, telling her that she would be sued for defamation.
The evidence released by Raymond was irrefutable. Most of the on-lookers thought that the Shaw family members were just fighting over the family fortune, but those experienced businessmen could see that Ryker was behind the fight between Tiffany, Thomas, and Raymond. Ryker wanted to kick Raymond out of Tenton and reap the benefits.
The outcome was obvious. Jean disclosed the paternity test results which showed that Raymond is neither Tiffany and Thomas' Larry nor Jean's son. The irony was that Tiffany and Thomas's father appeared.

Tiffany and Thomas's father, Mario Foley, went to Jean, saying that he wanted to see his kids. Now Jean, Tiffany, and Thomas were very anxious.
Knowing what Mario said in front of the press, Ryker was exasperated and fainted.
Of course, this was just gossip. The media posted it on the Internet. More and more people were discussing the news about the Shaw family.
Scarlett had just come out of the meeting room when her phone rang.
Katherine, who had planned to open the report to Scarlett, sensibly lagged behind her. Scarlett glanced at the caller ID, her pretty eyes crinkling slightly.
“Larry.” The call was from Larry. It was clear why he called Scarlett.
"Scarlett." Larry seemed busy. Scarlett heard some people talking to him in the background.
Larry said something to the person next to him, and then the noise disappeared. Larry asked her, "Is the online news true?" Larry meant the news about Raymond. The Shaw family hit the headlines. If Raymond's grandpa was still alive, he would be mad.
Scarlett curved her lips. "Yes." Larry was stunned for a moment before saying, "Then Ryker is cornered. Be careful outside these days." "I know." Larry had nothing else to say. "I'm hanging up now. Come home and have a meal with us when you are free." He reluctantly added, "Raymond has not yet officially visited our home." Hearing this, Scarlett did a double-take. She was a bit incredulous. "Grandpa has accepted Raymond, right?" "No." Larry was telling the truth. His advice was sensible. Even though Rowan didn't like Raymond, Raymond should be more active to show his sincerity.

Scarlett was smart, but she didn't understand Rowan. She knew they shouldn't be in a hurry to make Rowan change his mind. Yet Rowan was much more stubborn than she thought. Larry was afraid that the first to give up might be Raymond.
Scarlett knew Larry was helping her, feeling delighted. "Thank you." "If he is bad to you, you must tell us." Scarlett held the phone. She was touched. After so many years, she received support from her family. It felt great.
"1 will." "Then I'll let you go." After ending the call, Scarlett stood still for a while until Katherine knocked on the door. Scarlett came out of her trance." Come in." Katherine came to report on her findings about a new company. Katherine spoke coherently and then looked at Scarlett who was lost in thought. Katherine added, "Ms. Reed, I've prepared the wedding gift for Miss Jones as you asked." "Thank you." Libby and Darrell’s wedding was on this Saturday. Since they gave Scarlett an invitation, Scarlett had to show her face.
Although Scarlett had a problem with Libby earlier, now they had cleared up the misunderstandings.
Therefore, Scarlett decided to send Libby a nice wedding gift.
