Chapter 965 Her Agreement with MaRaymond's voice was deadpan, "Just geta suite. I'll be here for the next four days. Don't let the Montague family know about this yet." Brandon nodded, "Don't worry, we won't say a thing." Raymond was shown to the only available suite.
Brandon wiped the sweat off his forehead. If word got out about their chat, too many people would get dragged into it.
Brandon quickly called over the cleaner assigned to this place, "Listen to Mr. Montague for the next few days. See if he needs anything, and make sure he gets his three meals on time." The cleaner nodded, "Got it." Once in the suite, Raymond sat by the window. It was pretty quiet here.
Raymond checked his phone and saw a missed call from Selena, probably wanting to ask about the Montague family.
He turned off his phone, playing into the story that he was being detained for investigation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe set the phone aside, propped his chin with one hand, and gazed out the window with a slight smile.
When Selena tried calling him again, she found his phone was off.
Out of options, she called several people she knew from past collaborations, but everyone dodged the topic when they heard it was about Raymond.
Raymond was about to be in serious trouble, and if even Paul and Alex wouldn't help, who else would dare get involved? Selena finally reached out to Victor. Unlike Paul and Alex, who flat-out refused her, Victor agreed to meet. She drove straight to the hospital and went into Victor's private office.
Victor had just finished surgery and was disinfecting his hands. He pointed to a chair, "Have a seat." After Selena sat down, he said, "I've found out you're not the Fair family's daughter. Have you ever thought about your real identity? Or looked into it?" Selena didn't expect Victor to bring up something about her. She frowned but answered honestly, "I went to Ridgefield to investigate, but too much thas passed, and I got nowhere. The hospital's management was a mess back then, with lots of temp staff, and even the records were incomplete." Victor, still in his white coat, looked her over. "Would you mind if I did a paternity test for you and others?" Selena said, "Mr. Barnes, I chere today for Raymond. Honestly, I'm not interested in my biological parents." She lowered her eyes, a hint of sadness showing.
Speople, the more they said they didn't care, the more they actually did.
Selena felt a sense of fear about the future. She didn't know why she was taken to the Fair family, whether it was intentional or accidental.
If her biological parents had abandoned her on purpose, finding them would only bring her pain.
Victor sat down beside her. "You don't need to worry about Raymond's safety. He can take care of himself. Paul and Alex aren't unwilling to help; they just want to know what Raymond is up to. Ms. Fair, you just need to wait and see. Raymond isn't someone who waits passively, and the bet agreement still has five days left. Who knows what will happen before then." Selena pressed her lips together, hearing him continue, "At this critical moment, you're still worried about him. You must really like Raymond." She opened her mouth to refute but saw Victor taking off his white coat.
Victor continued, "You're just hesitating, or someone is making you hesitate. I hope you can see your own heart clearly soon." When leaving the hospital, Selena sat on a bench by the road, lost in thought.
After a long time, she drove back to Ashbourne Manor.
She went to her bedroom and found the hidden box.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInside the box were still the letter, the ring, and a small chip the size of a fingernail.
Additionally, there was the jellyfish stamp she had found in Ridgefield.
The jellyfish stamp was beyond her current investigative capabilities, so she had kept it there. She opened the letter, wanting to read it again, but paused as she thought of something.
When her eyes fell on the ring, she picked it up, wanting to put it on her finger, but Raymond's face flashed in her mind. Frowning, she put the ring down and stared at the items in a daze.
Half an hour later, her phone buzzed with a new message: ["Mais here."] O Along with the message was an address. But it was in the neighboring city, even in a small town in that city, a rather famous place. She had never mentioned Mario's nto anyone, not even to Shelley, her closest friend.
Only she knew this name, and only she and Maknew about their agreement.
