Chapter 961 What Else Could It Be But Love? Raymond's eyes narrowed, his face calm and clear as he scanned the room.
"Elbert, did I knock ssense out of you last time? What makes you think you can threatentoday?" Raymond's voice cut through the tension.
Elbert's face turned a deep shade of red. Last time, Raymond had kicked him out cold for humiliating Selena. Now, with that incident brought up again, Elbert had no choice but to swallow his pride. Raymond pushed open the conference room door, with John loyally trailing behind him. John had no clue what Raymond was planning, but he trusted him completely.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs they walked, Raymond leaned in and whispered, "If they takein for questioning, make sure Selena knows." John's eyes widened in surprise. 'Tell Ms. Cooper? But this is Montague family business. What could she possibly do?' Then it hit him. In tough times, true feelings cout. Maybe Raymond wanted to see if Selena really cared. Raymond wasn't sure about Selena's feelings. Did she really like him? If she did, she'd worry and try to help him out. If not, she'd probably keep her distance.
If she chose to help, it had to be love, right? If she backed off, Raymond might have to rethink his approach. Maybe he'd find a way to keep her close, one way or another. John had been with Raymond long enough to get it. He nodded, "Got it, Mr. Montague." As they entered the conference room, a group of cops in special uniforms showed up, flashing their badges and nodding at Raymond.
One of them spoke up, "Mr. Raymond Montague, please cwith us. We need to conduct a thorough investigation." Everyone in the room stood up, those loyal to Raymond stepping forward in concern.
"Mr. Montague, what should we do?" Raymond's voice was calm as he followed the cops, "Just keep doing what you need to do." The others exchanged confused looks, unsure of what to make of the situation.
Elbert was the first to step forward and continued, "Raymond, are you still refusing to sign that agreement?" Raymond didn't even bother to respond and just walked into the elevator.
Elbert's face turned even redder, his hand clenching at his side. 'Damn it, what is Raymond up to?' The task force members looked at the other Montague family members with a no-nonsense attitude. "Does everyone here believe that he kidnapped Mr. William Montague?" Elbert was quick to nod, "Raymond did it to get the shares our father holds." Grace chimed in next, and soon the rest of the Montague family joined in, pointing fingers.
"It was Raymond. Who else could it be but him?" "We should also look into Christopher's death back then." "Raymond is the most ruthless person in the entire Montague family." Only Carter, standing off to the side, suddenly spoke up, "Raymond would never do such a thing!" Carter's eyes locked onto Raymond, and he strode over. "Raymond, I'm going with you." "Carter!" Grace was furious. Raymond was the prsuspect. If it turned out that Raymond had kidnapped William, then Carter, who was eager to help Raymond, would also becan accomplice.
"Carter! Cback here!" She quickly stepped forward, trying to grab Carter's hand, her tone almost pleading. "Don't you understand? Everything I'm doing is for you."

You taughtwhen I was young that it's okay to be incompetent as long as I stick to my principles. I remember your teachings. It's you who have changed, and I don't need this kind of 'for my own good.""
He stood beside Raymond and took a deep breath, "I believe Raymondm didn't do it The police it. will soon find out the truth, and I'll cback with him." As soon as he finished speaking, Raymond blocked the closing elevator door, his tone cold, "Get out." "Raymond..." Carter had always been afraid of him. Hearing this, he almost reflexively stepped out.
But as Carter was about to step out, he suddenly realized, "I'm not leaving." At that moment, several task force officers entered the elevator, and Raymond directly pushed Carter out. The elevator doors closed just then.
Carter stood outside, hearing Grace's cold voice, "See? Raymond iso m cold-blooded. So he must be the one who kidnapped your grandpa." Carter didn't bother to explain. He knew Raymond's intention was simply not to let him be isolated by these people.
