GoodRead"Speaking of which, you never admitted that you liked Scarlett back then. But you start to pursue her after divorcing her. And you even gavedirty looks." Chris bowed his head and was thinking about something silently.
Since he saw Scarlett in Acatoca last time, he had intermittently remembered sthings.
But he could only recall sfragments. He remembered that he and Scarlett got divorced and that he was slapped by Scarlett. He also remembered he saw Scarlett be together with another man.
Those memories were so incoherent that he could not connect the dots or have clues to what on earth had happened.
As he said, Alexander suddenly remembered what he had accidentally slipped out at the auction. He felt a little guilty and did not dare to say more, so he just dropped his head and drank wine silently.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter combining what he had recalled and what Alexander had said, Chris had a preliminary outline of what had happened between him and Scarlett.
"Do you know where Jean is now?" Alexander had never liked Jean. If Jean had not tarnished Raymond's image on purpose, Raymond would not have been secretly criticized by so many people when he was a child.
Now that Alexander knew that Jean was not Raymond's biological mother, Alexander naturally didn’t want to hear about Jean anymore.
But Jean was still Raymond's nominal mother after all. She had been Mrs. Shaw for more than ten years.
Although she was driven out of the Shaw family, many people in the upper-class families still liked to gossip about her.
Although he did not pay special attention to Jean, Alexander could still hear of Jean's big news.
"She seems to be put in jail." “In jail?" Alexander nodded. "You have a half-sister in addition to a half-brother. Your halfbrother Thomas was a troublemaker. He has been spoiled by Jean and has done a lot of stupid things. Before your accident. he has been sued by many people. In order to get him out of jail, Jean cooperated with your cunning uncle Ryker." "But Ryker is no match for you and Scarlett. He has also been put in jail. | have heard recently that he has cancer and will be up for a compassionate release. After Ryker's failure, Jean fell out with him.
Thomas was charged with many crimes and was sentenced to more than ten years. In order to reduce Thomas's sentence, Jean hooked up with a prison guard... But that guy did not help her after sleeping with her... Jean was pissed off and went to cut that guy with a knife. That was why she was arrested. The trial is expected to begin this month, and she may be sentenced to three to five years in prison." "I see," Chris replied, "I'm done asking questions. You can go now." "What?" Alexander could not believe that Chris would drive him away after asking him all questions.
Seeing Alexander keep stunned for a while, Chris explained, "I am tired after over 10-hour plane ride." Alexander felt better. "Okay. Have a rest. I'm off." Since Alexander had drunk wine, he definitely could not drive back home, so he had to hire a designated driver.
Alexander drank too much. According to what Mathew, the butler of the Smith family, said, Alexander suddenly held a vase and bawled after coming home. He muttered, "Ray, | am so glad to know that you are still alive." Alexander cried for most of the night, and his howl made everybody in the villa sleepless for most of the night.
Alexander slept until nearly eleven o'clock the next day. He got up and found that he had not showered last night.
He was stinky all over.

Alexander felt very hungry after the shower, so he went downstairs immediately to eat something.
Seeing the dark circles on Mathew's face, Alexander clicked his tongue and said, " Mathew, you are old. Don't stay up late. It's not good for your health." Mathew did not know what to say...
At this time, a maid named Kierra brought over a bowl of soup. Alexander was stunned at the sight of the dark circles on Kierra's face. He then looked at Mathew again.
Alexander felt something was wrong.
What was more, Alexander found that not only Mathew and Kierra but also the gardener and the cook had dark circles on their faces.
Before going out, Alexander couldn't help but ask, "Was the house burglarized last night? Why do you all seem not to get a lot of sleep last night?" Alexander's father just chome. He patted Alexander on the head and showed Alexander the video recorded last night. " Look at yourself. You were howling like a pig. Who could fall asleep last night?" Alexander was embarrassed after watching the video.
