Tiffany did not expect her plan to fail. She walked out of the villa, but she still could not take it. "Do you really not want to know who Raymond's biological mother is?" Scarlett stood at a distance and looked at Tiffany with a faint smile. "Actually, | am not that curious, Miss Shaw." Tiffany wanted to say something else because she desperately needed money now. But the next second, she heard a car driving over.
Tiffany froze for a moment and turned her head to look at the car. She found that it was Raymond's car.
Seeing Raymond's car, she didn't dare to stay here any longer even if she was reluctant to leave.
Tiffany bit her lip and finally ran away before Raymond's car drove over.
Scarlett, who was standing in the yard, wondered why Tiffany suddenly ran away.
She did not do anything to Tiffany. Why did Tiffany suddenly leave so fast? Soon, Scarlett understood what was going on.

The gate of the villa was still open. A black car drove right in.
Scarlett stood aside and looked at Raymond sitting in the driver's seat. She couldn't help but smile.
She thought, "No wonder Tiffany dashed off." Scarlett watched Raymond's car drive into the garage before she raised her hand to close the gate and turned around to enter the villa.
"Did Tiffany come?" Raymond came out of the garage and raised his hand to take hers.
Scarlett nodded. "Yes. She said that she knew who your biological mother was. And she would tell me if | gave her $50 million." Scarlett paused. "She seems to need money badly." Raymond's face hardened slightly. "Of course she needs money badly." Scarlett asked curiously, "What is going on with her?" Raymond's face softened. He looked at Scarlett and said, "She and her colleague embezzled money to speculate in stocks and lost more than three million dollars." In the past, three million dollars was just Tiffany’s monthly pocket money. She could easily get it as long as she acted cute around Raymond or Jean. But now things had changed.
Since Thomas was arrested, Jean and Raymond had completely been on the opposite sides. Tiffany's standard of living was now much lower than before. Jean was unwilling to give her 300,000 dollars every month, let alone three million dollars.
What was more, Jean had spent a lot of money inviting officers to dinner and buying off them for Thomas. In order to cooperate with Ryker, she threw a lot of money at him.
Raymond's grandfather did not like Jean, Tiffany, or Thomas. So he did not give any shares to Zacharie. He only gave Zacharie enough money to spend lavishly for the rest of his life.
Besides, Zacharie was Raymond's father after all. As long as Tenton did not collapse, Raymond's grandfather believed that Raymond would take care of Zacharie even if Zacharie squandered all money.
Therefore, Raymond's grandfather, who originally planned to leave most of his assets to Zacharie, only gave Zacharie one tenth of his assets in the end. That was more than 500 million dollars.
Zacharie was born in a family of great wealth. He had an extravagant lifestyle. After the death of Raymond's grandfather, he acted even more absurdly. Raymond helped Zacharie deal with a lot of problems. When Zacharie died, he only left Jean a villa worth more than 100 million dollars, two houses, and more than 30 million dollars in cash.
Jean sold the villa for cash after Zacharie's death. With 300 million dollars in hand, she had lived in the Shaw Residence for free.
If Jean had not fallen out with Scarlett and Raymond, she would have saved a lot of money for Thomas after her death.

But Jean indeed had fallen out with Scarlett and Raymond. She could not make ends meet this year because she had to live a decent life and provide for Tiffany and Thomas. Thomas had been uneducated and useless since he was born. He was just like Zacharie.
Zacharie could live on his father, but Thomas could not. Jean had spent more than 50 million dollars on Thomas over the past half a year.
Now she spent a lot of money in order to get Thomas out of jail. She could only spend money instead of earning money. Therefore, she cut Tiffany's monthly allowance of 300,000 dollars.
Tiffany had never been in financial straits before. After arguing with Jean a few times, Tiffany finally realized that Thomas was the most important person for Jean. Therefore, when she heard inside information from her colleague, she hesitated for a while and embezzled money.
That stock was a foreign stock. Tiffany had watched the recent performance of that stock. It kept rising steadily.
The trend was not very obvious.
Tiffany was worried about it at first, but her colleague said, "No guts, no glory. If you don't do it this time, you won't be able to make money when everyone else knows about this good stock."
