The news that Jean, Tiffany, and her son had been evicted from the Shaw Residence by Raymond spread widely that evening.
Many people had been actually objective in their attitude toward Jean and her son and daughter.
Jean was Raymond's mother. However, even though n o one had dared to discuss in public for nearly two decades that she had abandoned Raymond for her lover, it did not mean that no one knew about it.
Although Raymond's actions this time around had left people a little shocked, it was not like they couldn't understand what he was doing.
Zacharie had been dead for seven or eight years. And Raymond didn't seem to have had problems with Jean over the years. However, Raymond did not drive Jean and her children out of the Shaw Residence in the early years. And he didn't take action against them until now, so Raymond's actions were somewhat intriguing.
It was not long after the news spread privately that a " source" said it seemed to have something to do with Scarlett because Jean had gone to Scarlett's place five days earlier to find her.
Although this reason did sound strange, and Raymond
didn't look like the kind of person who would be blinded by rage, once people thought about it carefully, they would also think that it was not so unreasonable for him to do so.
Alexis sent a message to Scarlett as soon as she found out about it. In fact, she also reckoned that Raymond was making a big deal out of it for Scarlett.
Scarlett didn't see the message until after she returned from her walk with Rowan. And Katherine had called her last night with the news. And Katherine asked Scarlett if she needed any help in dealing with the public opinion when it came up.
Scarlett usually ignored such news, and Katherine knew it, but the situation became special recently.
And Kate passed away yesterday. Thus, Scarlett was already in a bad mood. If the news widely spread on the Internet, it would affect Scarlett's mood even more.
The news that Raymond had kicked Jean out of the Shaw Residence was more than Scarlett had expected. During the past three years that she had been married to Raymond, she knew that Raymond's relationship with Jean was not good but not bad either.
Now, Scarlett didn't think she was the reason Raymond had acted so cruelly.
And she was not in the mood to care about these things. Kate's death had left her feeling very depressed these past two days.
Because Scarlett grew up without grandparents on her father's side and with only grandparents on her mother's side, when she followed Petty back to the Booker family to visit Kyleigh and other relatives, she longed for Kyleigh to touch her face and look at her kindly like other people's grandmothers.
