NovelsBestChapter 963 You're So Cheap Tessa's voice had that sharp edge, the kind you get from being spoiled your whole life.
Austin was back from the Hollywood set, and everyone knew he was in the movie. If he got cut, not only would he get roasted online, but S.M Corporation would take a hit too.
Tessa was right; Selena couldn't handle the fallout right now.
Tessa went on, "Selena, you better start seeing Raymond on your own. Otherwise, you and your company are gonna be in deep trouble. I'm not patient. If I decide to cafter you, you're done for." And with that, Tessa hung up. Selena stared at her phone, now silent, and didn't say a word.
Meanwhile, Richard got the news that Tessa was heading to Silver Bay City. He double-checked on his phone. "Did Lawrence and Mom and Dad really let you come?" Tessa's voice was all sweet and spoiled, like always, "Lawrence and Mom said yes, but Dad's still being stubborn. Richard, with Raymond like this, I need to be there for him, to show him who can really help." Richard felt a headache coming on.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe liked Selena and thought she was a good match for him. But Tessa was pampered and fragile. If something happened to her in Silver Bay City, who'd be responsible? "Tessa, you should stay in Vistalia," Richard said.
Tessa shot back, "Richard, have you even tried to get Selena to leave Raymond? You haven't takenseriously at all. Don't tellyou're into Selena?" "Don't be ridiculous," Richard sighed, "Fine, I won't get in your way. Just make sure you convince Dad." Tessa was thrilled, "Dad always listens to Mom, he'll agree. See you in Silver Bay City, Richard." Richard smirked. After hanging up, he figured Selena was in real trouble.
Once Tessa showed up, her bodyguards would be with her. If she wanted Selena gone, it could happen anytime.
Plus, Tessa had the Smith family from Vistalia backing her up. They had connections in Silver Bay City. Even if she caused chaos, someone would clean up her mess. That evening, after getting that call, Selena was deep in thought. She couldn't just sit around and wait for trouble.
A few minutes later, she set up a meeting with Carter.
Carter had just gotten back from abroad last night. This was their first meeting since he found out who Selena really was. He kept staring at her, shaking his head after a while. Carter shook his head, "I can't believe it, Penny. What were you thinking when I introduced you to Raymond? Did you know he decorated Manston Manor for sgirl he liked?" Selena didn't want to go there. Instead, she asked, "Do you have Raymond's dad's number?" Besides William, the only other big shot in the Montague family was Donovan.
She had no clue what Donovan's deal was, so she needed to check him out.
Carter was quiet for a bit before texting her a number.
Selena was about to call when he said, "You won't get through. I can't either. That place is top secret. Unless he reaches out first, but Uncle Donovan rarely does. Only Grandpa can get to him; it's nearly impossible for anyone else." The hope in Selena's eyes faded fast.
Carter knew how urgent things were and didn't hold her up. "Penny, I'll ask around. The Montague family is a mess right now, and a lot of people are watching me." Just then, Selena saw Grace behind Carter.
Grace grabbed the coffee on the table and threw it at Selena. "You have no shame. Now that Raymond's going to jail, you're rushing to cling to my son? Selena, I don't get what Raymond sees in you." Ever since Carter had publicly called her out twice, Grace's temper had gotten worse.
Grace was also worried that she and Carter would be shunned by the Montague family, so she kept a close watch on him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut she could tell Carter's attitude towards her had turned icy.
Carter used to look up to Grace. He feared her, but out of respect. Now, he'd argue with her over anything.
Grace sneered, "Selena, if you have any self-respect, stay away from our family. You've already had a aom miscarriage for Baymond: Do Do you know how low that makes you? Does your dead mother know?" Using someone's dead relatives to attack them was low, even for Grace. She wouldn't have done this before. Carter shook off Grace's hand, looking shocked. "Mom!" It was like his once perfect life had suddenly turned ugly.
Grace snapped, "I'm doing this for your own good. Elbert controls the whole Montague family now. If you piss him off, he won't spare you!"
Grace's tone was icy. Seeing Selena wipe the coffee off her head, shen speered "Next tyou meet Carter alone, it won't just be coffee."
