NovelOnlineWhen Scarlett had just finished her breakfast at nine o'clock the next day, the doorbell of the villa rang.
Raymond gave her a look. "I'll go downstairs and take a look." “Alright.” Scarlett responded to him. She looked down and took a sip of warm water, then turned and went upstairs to change into her daily outfit.
After Scarlett finished changing, she noticed that Raymond hadn't cupstairs yet.
She raised her eyebrows and then went downstairs as well.
Scarlett just went out and saw Jean standing outside the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtScarlett hadn't seen Jean and Tiffany for a while since Jean had stopped them at the door for Tiffany last time.
She didn’t expect Jean to cto her house again today.
She didn't go over and just stood in the doorway watching them.
The sun was shining brightly, and Scarlett felt hot after standing for a while. Then, she turned around and went back inside the villa.
Outside the villa.
Jean becanxious when she saw Raymond going back inside the villa. Then, she subconsciously reached out and pulled Raymond's sleeve. "Ray, he's your brother. Your brother!" Raymond looked down at his sleeve, which was pulled by Jean. He frowned slightly." What he did was against the law." "It's not that. You... You just have to get Mr. Lewis to convince the victim's family by pulling strings. As long as they agree to accept compensation and issue a letter of understanding, then Thomas won't be sentenced that long!" "Since you have already communicated with the victim's family, and his family does not agree to settle. What's the point even if | let Mr. Lewis go over and communicate with them?" Raymond raised his hand after saying this and pushed Jean's hand away. Then he turned around, shut the door, and went back to the villa.
It was such a killjoy that Jean actually cto his villa early in the morning.
Raymond had a cold look on his face. When he looked up and saw Scarlett, his expression eased a bit.
Scarlett handed him a glass of water." What happened to Thomas?" Raymond tilted his head and took a sip of water." Thomas hit someone last week because of drunk driving and caused the victim's brain death. The victim is the son of the general manager of Teuton's branch. And the victim's family won't accept a settlement.” Raymond gave a brief account of the situation And Scarlett figured it out at once.
It wasn't the first tThomas was charged with DUI. And Thomas drunk driving once last year. Scarlett insisted on calling the police and having Thomas taken to the police station and detained for more than 10 days.
However, she didn't expect Thomas to never repent after he was released from the police station.
Now, Thomas finally caused a serious accident because of drunk driving. Besides, the person he hit was not an ordinary person. Jean was probably seeking Raymond's help because she couldn't settle the matter with money.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince the victim's family was the general manager of Teuton's branch, the victim's family didn't care even if Jean could compensate the victim with millions of dollars. However, the only person who could hold the victim's family at bay was Raymond.
Scarlett looked at Raymond for a moment." Are you going to get involved in this?" "No." Raymond had cleaned up Thomas' messes a few times before. Besides, all of Thomas's previous problems were trivial matters and could be solved as long as Thomas paid compensation. However, Thomas had now hit someone into a vegetable, and it was no longer sproblem that could be solved with money.
Furthermore, Raymond had been used by Jean, Thomas, and Tiffany to the point of being bored. He had little feelings for Jean and the so-called siblings. He still allowed Jean and her children to live in the Shaw Residence after Zacharie’s death and enjoy the protection of the Shaw family, which would be a huge favor.
However, they were too ungrateful and restless.
Raymond had not wanted to care about them since the day he kicked them out of the old mansion.
Jean had hundreds of millions of dollars left to her by Zacharie. Moreover, Thomas and Tiffany were 25 or 26 years of age, so they were all grownups. Therefore, Raymond had no more obligation or responsibility to clean up their messes.
Sensing Raymond's agitation, Scarlett raised her hand and gave him a hug. "Then leave it." Raymond looked down at her for a moment. Then, the irritation he felt in his heart died down. He responded, "Hmm." Scarlett looked up at him and reached over to take the glass of water from his hand. " So are we still going to the boxing gym today?" Hearing her words, Raymond moved his eyes. "Yeah." He paused for a moment. "I'll go change."
