NovelsBestChapter 964 That Sentence Carried the Weight of a Thousand Pounds Selena wiped the coffee off her cheek and shot a look at Grace.
Grace's eyes were full of resentment. All she ever heard about Selena was bad news.
In Grace's mind, Selena was the one who ruined Raymond, making him neglect his duties and dragging the Montague family down. To her, Selena was just bad luck. Seeing Carter sneaking out to meet Selena made Grace furious.
Selena wanted to snap back at Grace. Parents who claimed to act in their kids' best interests often ended up hurting them.
Selena had a lot she could say, but she settled on one line, "Ms. Montague, if you really cared about Carter, you'd see how upset he is right now." Grace froze. She didn't dare look at Carter's face, just watched Selena grab her bag, pay the bill, and leave. That one line hit like a ton of bricks.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGrace sensed Carter was about to leave too and tried to say something, but his back was already turned. Grace, looking like she'd lost her soul, slumped into a nearby leather chair, her face pale.
Once in the car, Selena saw Carter running over through the window.
He knocked, and she rolled it down.
Carter apologized, "Penny, I'm sorry." Selena replied, "Mr. Ashford, this isn't your fault." Carter looked down, seeming like he'd aged overnight. He used to be carefree and flashy, but now he seemed subdued.
Selena thought Carter was probably suffering the most in the whole Montague family.
He'd just taken his girlfriend on a vacation abroad, only to cback and find everything changed.
Carter was on the verge of breaking down, having watched his favorite cousin, Raymond, get taken away. If no one could save Raymond, he'd never be seen again.
Now the whole Montague family was under Elbert's control. Elbert had the most shares in the Montague Group and could do whatever he wanted.
"Penny," Carter started, but only managed a bitter smile, "It's nothing, just wanted to apologize. The Montague family is a mess right now. Don't go looking for anyone from the Montague family; no one is willing to help Raymond at this critical moment." Selena nodded. Besides Donovan, who was temporarily out of contact, everyone else probably hoped Raymond would never cout.
She drove back to her company but didn't go up for a long time. Instead, she let go of the steering wheel, leaned back, and tried to catch her breath.
After Raymond sat down, Brandon Miller brought him a cup of tea.
Raymond pushed it away, his tone indifferent, "I don't drink." Brandon said, "Mr. Montague, please make do. We don't have any good tea here." Raymond glanced around. It was a small room, with busy police officers outside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThose people didn't know Raymond's identity, but Brandon did.
Raymond had earned many accolades in the military as a teenager and had long been awarded medals by the higher-ups. It was only because Raymond didn't want to hold any official position that no one knew he could be on the slevel as his father.
Raymond had only left the military, but his achievements remained. Anyone who saw Raymond had to be respectful, unless those older individuals cin person.
Brandon asked, "Mr. Raymond Montague, we are also investigating Mr. William Montague's matter, but there are ng clues! Have your people found anything?" Raymond shook his head and remained silent for a while before speaking, "I want to know what project Christopher was involved in back then."
Brandon cautiously glanced around. After confirming that there were no cameras in this room, he said, "We weren't responsible for protecting Christopher, but Paul should have told you. When Christopher was sent abroad, they were secretly conducting human experiments. The intention was for him to bring back sdata, but on the day they were supposed to return, an explosion occurred, and there wasn't even a complete body of Christopher." "Christopher is still alive." Raymond leaned back, "So I need you to investigate what aspect of human experimentation this was. It's highly likely that Grandpa was called out by Christopher."
Brandon frowned, his face full of surprise. After a long time, he said.
softly, "Mr. Montague, this matter is difficult to investigate Anything! m involving Christopher is highly confidential. Only a few people in the country know about his file." Raymond lowered his head, his fingers slowly tapping on the couch.
"What if he's still alive but has changed sides?" Brandon was startled, "You can't say things like that."
