Chapter 19 “What high-sounding sentiments, Miss Carter! Believe it or not, I’ll have my son speak to the person behind you to withdraw you from the entertainment industry tomorrow,” Jean said. Alexis almost died laughing when she heard this. “Old witch, go ahead and do it. If I, Alexis Carter, am forced to leave the entertainment industry tomorrow, I’ll go to the Shaw Residence to kowtow to you!” Jean was blue in the face with rage. “You, you, you’re uncivilized!” “Whether I’m civilized or not, it depends on who I’m facing. You’re only an old witch and aren’t considered a human, so it’s not necessary for me to treat you nicely.” Jean had been used to suppressing Scarlett all these years, and Julie had always fawned over her, hence she really thought that everyone was afraid of her. Now that she met a difficult person like Alexis, she was so mad that her face was red and blue. Jean could not overspeak Alexis. Scarlett would also contradict her in the past, but she was not as unrestrained. As such, Jean simply turned her attention to Scarlett, who was sitting on the couch. “Is this the kind of friend you’ve made? She’s uneducated and unethical! No wonder you can be good friends; you’re just the same kind of people.”
Scarlett’s face instantly turned cold. She directly stood up and sneered at Jean. “No matter how bad we are, we can’t compare to your feat of abandoning your husband and son back then, Madan Shaw!” Back then, everyone in Juanton knew Jean took a sum of money and went far away with her lover. It was just that very few people dared to talk about it nowadays. Jean had deceived herself so much that she almost thought that the matter was over. When Scarlett suddenly brought it up today, she was simply stripping Jean naked and hitting her. Jean was not simple when she was younger. Nevertheless, after all these years, she knew the importance of reputation to the rich and powerful, thus she also followed and pretended. However, Scarlett brought up her past today, so how could she care about being magnanimous and dignified? She conveniently threw an iron hanger on the side at Scarlett. “You b*tch, shut up!”
Scarlett moved sideways to dodge the hanger. Alexis was shocked, and she hurriedly stood in front of Scarlett to protect her. “Old witch, how dare you make a move?!” Subsequently, Scarlett lifted her hand to pull Alexis away. She looked at Julie and snorted coldly, then she took out her phone to call Raymond’s secretary. Frank had just come out of the meeting room. He did not expect to receive an unexpected call. He was surprised when he saw the caller ID, but he quickly pressed the answer button. “Miss Reed?” “It’s me. Please ask Raymond to come over to Shop A’s counter on the fourth floor of Central Plaza and get rid of the bad old lady from her family and his new lover. If he comes later than half an hour, don’t blame me for being rude!” “Miss Reed, what’s—” Before Frank could ask what exactly was going on, Scarlett had hung up the phone. He looked down at his screen at the incoming call that lasted for less than ten seconds, and he was stunned for a moment. This was his first time facing a furious Scarlett. In his impression, she was also gentle and generous. Throughout her three years of being married to Raymond, the secretary seemed to have never seen her angry before. Who else could the bad old lady from the Shaw family be if not Jean Larson? As for Raymond’s new love, it was obviously Julie Woods, Raymond’s most recent and hottest marriage candidate. Frank came back to his senses right away and hurriedly knocked on Raymond’s office door. “Mr. Shaw.” “Speak.” Raymond, who was signing documents, looked cold at the moment. Frank gritted his teeth and said, “Miss Reed just called me a while ago.” The hand that was flipping through documents suddenly stopped. Raymond looked up at Frank and asked, “Oh, what did she say?” ‘Did she regret the divorce? NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
‘Hah, it’s useless to regret it. I’ll never remarry a woman like her!’ Frank did not know what Raymond was thinking. He only knew that he could not repeat Scarlett’s words exactly, so he could only express it in another way, “Mrs. Shaw and Miss Woods went shopping today, and they seemed to have run into Miss Reed and her friend and had a conflict. Would you like to go over and take a look?”
