Soon, many people knew that Ryker had kidnapped Scarlett. On the second day of the holiday, Tenton's stock immediately went limit down.
The impact of this incident was particularly huge. Tenton had been in turmoil and had ups and downs recently.
The outsiders were speculating whether it would collapse.
Of course, those knowledgeable people knew that was not possible.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFirst, Scarlett was now one of the shareholders of Tenton. Even if Raymond was the only shareholder, Tenton was really unlikely to collapse because Raymond had a good relationship with the Smith family, the Thomas family, and the James family.
But now the internal shareholders of Teuton actually had such a big conflict, and the conflict even escalated into kidnapping. Many people did feel that Teuton had too many problems this year.
In order to make Teuton suffer more, Scott paid a lot of media outlets and asked them to hint that Raymond was considering selling Teuton.
After the news was spread, Frank received several calls from a few shareholders of Teuton.
Just as Scarlett finished practicing yoga, Alexis called to ask her what was going on. Everyone on the Intewas saying that Teuton was going to fail. Alexis was wondering why Raymond had not sent someone to squash the rumor.
Scarlett glanced at Raymond, who was running on the treadmill. She sat down on the yoga mat, took a glass of water, and gulped swater. Only then did she reply slowly, "We did it on purpose. Ryker's kidnapping is not a very serious crime. The lawyer said that he could only be sentenced to five or six years in jail at most.
Hearing Scarlett's words, Alexis understood her purpose immediately this time. "So you mean you deliberately let this incident go viral and be more serious so that Ryker could be sentenced to more years?" Scarlett clicked her tongue. "You are smart this time. | cannot believe that you can actually guess right." Alexis grunted. "lI am not stupid, okay?" "Fine. You're not stupid.” Scarlett's reply was obviously perfunctory.
Alexis pursed her lips. "By the way, do you know that Shaylee signed a contract with the Slooworld Corporation?" "Now | do." Previously, Shaylee called Scarlett and begged her to go talk to Alexander, and Scarlett refused. After that, Shaylee did not say anything to Scarlett or tweet anymore.
Of course, Scarlett didn't pay special attention to Shaylee either.
Alexis was an insider, so it was normal for her to know about the news.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThinking of Shaylee’s look yesterday, Alexis couldn't help but complain. "I met her on the set yesterday. The Slooworld Corporation seems to plan to build up her in the future and let her start filming." Scarlett couldn't help but snort, "Is she a good actress?" "She sucks!" Alexis finally remembered why she called Scarlett today. She asked in a flattering voice, "Lettie, honey, are you my bestie?" Scarlett knew Alexis wanted to ask her a favor again as soon as she heard that. "I won't join any shows." Alexis had been entrusted with the task of inviting Scarlett to be a guest star in a new TV . Hearing Scarlett's reply, Alexis choked her words back.
After a second of silence, Alexis insisted," Lettie, are you still my bestie?" Scarlett was amused by Alexis. She replied smilingly without hesitation, "No, sorry." "Oh no. Don't be so cruel! You have such a pretty face. What a waste of it if you cover it!" "Huh? When did | cover it?" "I was kidding! Actually, there is a role in my new TV that really suits you. It won't take you much time.
You will only show up for twenty minutes in total. The director and | both think..." Before Alexis could finish speaking, Scarlett directly interrupted her. "Alexa, do you know how much money | earn every minute?" Alexis froze for a moment. She could not help but ask back, "How much?" "Not too much. Thirty to fifty thousand dollars." Scarlett paused and continued, "It's okay if you wantto be a guest star. Just payaccording to my income.
I will give you the lowest quote. 600,000 dollars for twenty minutes." "Umm... Can't you act for free as my friend?" "What do you think?" Scarlett laughed and hung up immediately.
Alexis took the phone and felt the incgap between Scarlett and herself for the first time.
Did money talk? Well, she had to admit that money always talked! After a short break, Scarlett's light sweat on her forehead stopped oozing.
Raymond stopped running on the treadmill. He walked over while wiping the sweat. "Ms. Carter called you?" Scarlett tilted her head to look at him. She happened to see a drop of sweat on his neck. It trickled down Raymond's neck and the sexy apple of his throat and finally into his white sweatshirt.
"Huh?" When Scarlett's mind was wandering, Raymond squatted down. Scarlett looked into his dark eyes right in front of her and blushed. She looked away in embarrassment and pretended to be drinking water.
