Chapter 3 Raymond, you are so irresponsible!
Raymond's mother was furious and began to scold him harshly.
"Don't look at Xiaoyou, someone took a picture of you at the airport and it made the headlines!"
"Do you know that you are already a married man? Are you being fair to Xiaoyou by doing this?"
"In terms of appearance, talent, and character, how is Xiaoyou inferior to that evil-minded little vixen?"
Raymond was upset by what he said: "Mom, stop calling me a little vixen. Linda is not that kind of person."
Raymond's mother was so angry that she was shaking all over: "You are still protecting me? You are really obsessed. I can't control you. Your grandfather will deal with you later."
"Hurry up and go to the study. Grandpa is waiting for you."
Raymond 's face turned pale, and he turned and walked straight to the study.
Raymond's mother was so angry that she covered her chest and said, "Unfilial son, how could I give birth to such an unfilial son."
Evelyn comforted him softly, "Mom, don't be angry. Your health is important."
Raymond's mother felt very distressed when she saw Evelyn pretending that nothing was wrong.
"Xiaoyou, don't worry. Even if I don't recognize this son, I will recognize you as my daughter-in-law. Our whole family will support you."
Evelyn hugged Raymond's mother's arm, feeling touched.
"Mom, I'm fine."
Since Joyce came back, Mrs. James has not been as kind to her as before. Only Raymond's mother is more like a loving mother.
When she cut her wrists, Raymond's mother cried heartbreakingly. She was hospitalized for a week and her mother stayed by her side day and night, but Mrs. James never showed up.
Three years.
She no longer had the same feelings and obsession towards Raymond as before. She also didn't hate Linda as much anymore.
All that's left is a trace of resentment.
So, she will take the initiative to end the marriage.
But she really couldn't bear to leave the Yale family.
If she leaves here, where can she go?
After chatting with Raymond's mother for a while, she went upstairs.
When passing by the study, I heard the old man scolding Raymond.
Evelyn deliberately slowed down her pace.
"You can divorce Xiaoyou if you want, but I will transfer 20% of the company's shares to Xiaoyou."
"If you marry that woman, you will leave the Yale family, and the Yale family will not give you a penny."
Raymond 's voice also sounded angry.
" Grandpa, how can you be so partial! Evelyn is just a fake daughter of the James family . I am your real grandson. The James family doesn't recognize her anymore. Why do you care about her so much?"
The old man's tone seemed full of disappointment.
"I don't care what Xiaoyou's identity is. I only know that when she was born, I was the first one to hold her and watched her grow up. The James family is prejudiced against her because of some grudges, but we in the Yale family don't care about these. You should understand that the grudges of the previous generation have nothing to do with Xiaoyou. She is always the victim. It's fine if you don't feel sorry for her, but you want to follow others to hurt her. Do you think I agree?"
Raymond wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old man.
" Remember, you can give up your status as Xiaoyou's husband, but you also give up your status as the heir of the Yale family . If you are willing to do so, I won't stop you."
Evelyn listened for a while and then went back to her room.
The Yale family was so kind to her.
Ever since she got into trouble with the James family, the Yale family has been protecting her in every way.
Forcing Raymond to marry her was also to give her a safe haven.
Half an hour later.
Raymond also returned to the room.
Evelyn was seen sitting in front of the dressing table removing her makeup, her posture lazy and charming.
After removing the delicate makeup, a pure and elegant little face appeared in the mirror.
"Evelyn, what kind of drug did you give Grandpa to make him treat you better than me, his own grandson?"
Evelyn removed her makeup and started to apply a facial mask.
Her movements were elegant and delicate, and her words were nonchalant.
"Maybe he thinks I'm more reliable than you, his own grandson. Not contacting your family for three years just for a woman is actually quite unfilial from their perspective."
"So you took advantage of the situation and tried to curry their favor? Encouraging Grandpa to take back the shares in my name once I separated from you?"
Raymond sneered: "Evelyn, you really did everything you could to keep me."
Evelyn finally turned around and said calmly, "Don't accuse me, I haven't done anything like this."
Raymond's voice was full of sarcasm: "Isn't this your usual method? You threatened me with cutting your wrists before, and now you threaten me with company shares. Evelyn , I really underestimated you before. You are so scheming. It turns out that genes can be inherited. You are worthy of the blood of a murderer."
Evelyn's face instantly fell.
This is her bottom line.
Evelyn hit back bluntly: "You hit a wall with grandpa, so you come to make things difficult for me. What kind of ability is that? If you have the ability, you can give up the Yale family 's shares for Linda . After all, in your heart, the Yale family 's property and company shares are more important than Linda ."
" Grandpa and the others are very clear about what Linda did back then. Even if I wasn't there, grandpa and the others would never accept her. You know this very well."
"So the obstacle between you has never been me. If you really love her, why don't you give up everything here and live abroad with her? After all, you can't bear to give up this huge fortune. You refuse to admit that you value your personal interests more than Linda, so you wantonly throw dirty water on me. Raymond, you are so irresponsible!"
Raymond's face turned red and white.
Especially when he saw the contempt in Evelyn's eyes, he wanted to strangle her to death.
She looked down on him! She had looked down on him since she was a child!
The tense atmosphere was broken by a knock on the door.
The old butler, Lao Tang, stood at the door: "Master, Madam, dinner is ready, please come downstairs to eat."
Today is a rare gathering of the Yale family.
Even Yvonne, who is still a junior in college, has returned.
"Brother, you finally came back. I thought you wanted me and your sister-in-law to stay in the cold kiln for the rest of our lives."
Yvonne's words were also full of sympathy for Evelyn.
Seeing that the whole family stood on Evelyn's side, Raymond's eyes turned even colder when he looked at Evelyn.
"But brother, are you going to leave again when you come back this time?"
Before Raymond could speak, Raymond's father spoke directly: "If he leaves again, the Yale family will not have this person. From now on, the Yale family's property will be divided equally between you and your eldest sister-in-law."
Yvonne clapped her hands after hearing this.
She took Evelyn 's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, did you hear that? When my brother is gone, we will be super rich women, and we can enjoy the services of male models with lots of money in the future."
Raymond glared at her. "You are so young, but your mind is full of nonsense. I don't know who you learned this from."
As he spoke, he glanced at Evelyn's face.
Evelyn felt a little guilty for once.
She had already done this...
The old man said, "Your brother will not leave. He will go to the company to take over the position of general manager tomorrow."
Yvonne looked disappointed: "What a pity."
"You are all aware of the company's recent situation. Times have changed, and our construction company is not what it used to be."
Everyone was silent.
The Yale family started out in the construction industry. After two generations of development, it has become one of the largest construction companies in the country and has also ventured into some other industries.
But most of them are just testing the waters, and construction is still the lifeblood of the business.
In recent years, with the changes of the times, economic transformation, increasingly saturated markets, increasing environmental pressure, and the impact of new intelligent buildings, the Yale family has had a difficult time.
“Therefore, we must win the Paradise Resort project. This way, the Yale family can not only recover its vitality, but also build up connections with the central government, and naturally there will be endless good projects in the future.”
The Paradise Resort project was specially approved by the central government. It aims to create the country’s largest green resort integrating leisure, vacation, and entertainment. The project is of an astonishing scale and is the fat meat that all construction companies dream of.
"Dad, everyone knows that Paradise Resort is a rare good project, but there are thousands of construction companies eyeing this piece of fat meat. Let alone swallowing the whole piece of fat meat, it is difficult to even get a piece of it."
The old man said, “It won’t be difficult if we can deal with that person.”
"who?"
“Justin.”
