GoodReadJean was quickly brought up by Katherine. This was the second tJean had cto MoCorporation to meet Scarlett.
Scarlett glanced at Jean in front of her. " Secretary Lawrence, pour a cup of coffee for Ms. Larson." Katherine nodded and walked away knowingly.
There were only Scarlett and Jean in the office. Compared with the last time, Jean’s complexion this twas not very good.
Scarlett looked at the dark circles on Jean's face and smiled. "You didn’t sleep last night, did you?" The dark circles under Jean's eyes were so big that even makeup failed to cover them.

Before Jean went out, she deliberately put on much concealer under her eyes and much blusher on her face, just because she didn't want Scarlett to see that she looked awful.
But she was really getting old. She was not in her 20s, but in her 50s, so her skin texture was not as smooth as before. Worse still, she was so worried about Thomas during this period that she suffered from insomnia. So, it was impossible for her to look radiant.
As soon as Scarlett said these words, Jean knew that she had better not play tricks. Then Jean pressed her lips and said, "I want to make a deal with you." Hearing Jean's words, Scarlett raised her eyebrows. "Okay. What are your chips?" Since one wanted to make a deal, he or she must have a bargaining chip.
It was not that Scarlett looked down upon Jean, but that Jean had nothing now. So, she may not give the chips that Scarlett wanted.
However, Jean had well prepared. She was waiting for Scarlett to ask for chips.
"Raymond is Zacharie's son. And | guess you should be very interested in who Raymond's mother is." Scarlett was stunned for a moment. When she reacted calmly to Jean's words, the smile on her face faded, and she looked at Jean coldly. "Is this your chip?" She said, smiling. "Unfortunately, your chip is nothing to me. Or, you should make a deal with Raymond, not me." As soon as Scarlett finished speaking, Jean's expression changed completely. She looked at Scarlett in disbelief.
"You may not know the importance of this matter. | can guarantee that in this world, I'm the only person who knows who Raymond's mother is. As long as | don't tell him, he will never be able to find his mother! You may think | am too confident, but | can tell you for sure that even Raymond's mother doesn't know that her son is Raymond!" Jean only thought that Scarlett didn’t know the importance of this matter, so she explained it to Scarlett, feeling annoyed.
However, when Jean finished speaking, the expression on Scarlett's face remained the same. Scarlett was still smiling except that she looked at Jean colder. "Really?" Scarlett tutted. "But how do you make sure that Raymond wants to find his mother and | will definitely help him?" "You, you..." Jean didn't know what to say. Her bargaining chip was Raymond's desire of finding his own mother.
If Raymond didn't want to find his mother, Jean's information would be useless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAccording to Scarlett's words, even if Raymond wanted to find his mother, whether Scarlett would help Raymond was another matter.
In short, Jean should not have cto Scarlett today, and she should have gone to meet Raymond. After all, Scarlett could be a bystander, as she had little to do with this matter.
When Jean realized this, her face turned completely pale.
The reason why she cto Scarlett was that she thought Scarlett loved Raymond and would naturally help him.
But Scarlett refused, which was beyond Jean's expectations.
"Is there anything else?" If not, Scarlett would ask Secretary Lawrence to see Jean out.
Jean had nothing to talk about to Scarlett. Ryker couldn't protect himself now, and the result of Thomas's second trial was very bad. So, she had no choice but to cto Scarlett.
She originally thought that Scarlett would probably embarrass her, and Jean was mentally prepared. But she hadn't expected that Scarlett didn’t humiliate her. However, Jean felt more upset.
"Scarlett, aren't you curious at all about who Raymond's mother is?" Scarlett glanced at her, smiling. "No, I'm curious." "As long as you help Thomas out, I'll tell you who Raymond's mother is!" Scarlett looked at Jean with a half-smile. " Everyone is naturally curious. | also want to know who Raymond's mother is. But this matter is not enough to lethelp you."
