Tiffany made a decision to withdraw the money on second thoughts.
She originally intended to sell the stocks after a month. But the value of those stocks had been rising, and she wanted to make more money, so she didn't sell the stocks at the originally planned time.
But when she planned to sell the stocks the day before yesterday, the stocks suddenly slumped and kept limit up for three consecutive days.
Now it was the end of the month, and the company needed to check the accounts. If Tiffany couldn’t offer the money, she would be sentenced to at least five years in prison. She tentatively asked Jean for money, but Jean only said that she had no money.
Tiffany had no choice, so she could only ask Scarlett for help without Jean's knowledge.
The reason why she asked Scarlett for 50 million was that after paying back more than 3.8 million, she would take the remaining money to go abroad and never come back.
She originally thought that even if Scarlett didn't give her fifty million, five million would be fine. But she didn't expect that Scarlett wouldn't give her even a penny.
Tiffany planned to ask for less money, but Raymond came back.
Tiffany was really afraid of Raymond. When she was the lady of the Shaw family, she thought that Raymond was very powerful. When others remarked that Raymond was ruthless, she only felt proud of him.
But now she was driven out of the Shaw family. When she saw Raymond, she would only want to run as fast as she could, as if a rabbit encountered a wolf.
Tiffany ran for a while, and didn't stop until she felt tired.
The account would be calculated the day after tomorrow, but she only had almost 300,000 dollars. The jewels and necklaces that she had bought were sold by Jean long ago.
Tiffany had never been so desperate. She hated Jean and Raymond. But the person that she loathed the most was Scarlett!
She thought that it was because of Scarlett that she was plunged into such a plight. But for Scarlett, she would still be the lady of the Shaw family and enjoy the envy and compliments of girls from other families. She would not worry about money.
When Scarlett heard Raymond's words, she asked, "Has she been deceived?"
Raymond came out of the kitchen with a glass of water and handed it to her.
