NovelsBestChapter 968 You Want to Have Her All to Yourself The guy kept going, "Christopher, cut the act. I know your dark side better than anyone. You just want her all to yourself." Selena was already out cold and didn't catch any of this.
Silver Bay City.
Two days had gone by. Raymond had been hoping Selena would show up, even if just for a minute.
But in that time, John had cby twice, and there was no sign of Selena.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRaymond asked, "Selena still hasn't cback?" John replied, "Nope. I checked at Ms. Cooper's company. She's got her schedule set for the next week, so she won't be back for at least that long. No one knows where she went." Raymond's face darkened as he stared out the window. It was already dusk.
The setting sun hung low, almost mocking the twisted ghe had set up.
He lowered his eyes and smirked a bit.
John tried to reassure him, "Mr. Montague, maybe Ms. Cooper went to get soutside help." But if Selena had really gone for outside help, she wouldn't have left Silver Bay City.
Raymond's fingers drummed lightly on the couch, and then his phone buzzed. It was a photo from an unknown number.
He recognized Selena right away.
She was with a guy, but the guy had his back to the camera and was leaning in to whisper in her ear.
In the photo, they were super close, like they could hear each other's breathing.
The streetlight above was dim, making it hard to see Selena's face, but she had her head down, looking pretty compliant, not resisting.
Raymond's face got even colder as he looked at the photo. He tossed the phone aside, ignoring the number. Whoever sent it was patient, just sending one photo without any message.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFour days later, Raymond and Eric's bet was about to end in a few hours. Elbert had even invited Eric back to the Montague Group, and everyone was watching the clock. There were only a few hours left until the bet ended, and then 20% of the Montague Group's shares would go to Eric, who would immediately transfer them to Elbert. Elbert was all smiles, and the other Montague Group folks kept congratulating him.
Grace sat there, not moving an inch. Over the past few days, Carter hadn't said much to her. She had someone keeping tabs on him, worried he'd go looking for Selena again. Selena was always trouble, never trustworthy. Grace had to keep a close eye on Carter.
In the conference room, Elbert sat at the head of the table. This time, no one dared to mess with his chair. He exchanged a look with Harry, both of them grinning.
Elbert had already made up his mind. As soon as he got the shares, the first thing he'd do was redeem the shares he had mortgaged, and then he'd savor his twith Selena. Someone Raymond cared about so much must have been desired by many for a long time. After all, Selena was indeed beautiful.
Elbert had wanted to act sooner, but waiting was torture, and Selena wasn't in Silver Bay City.
Leaving at such a critical moment showed she didn't want to be involved in the Montague family , making Raymond's affection for her seem even mor@ridiculous, which made Elbert even more smug. Elbert's mouth curved up, and with two hours left, he started chatting with Eric, "Mr. Scott, if you're hungry, I can have someone bring you sfood from the restaurant. We've still got two hours to go." Seeing the smile on Elbert's face, Eric thought Elbert was really asking for trouble by provoking Raymond.
Raymond had been running the Montague Group for so long. Even when he was abroad, he had been remotely controlling the company. As the heir supported by William, what made Elbert think a simple bet could bring Raymond down? Maybe the Montague Group had been too peaceful in recent years. Since Raymond took over, he hadn't gotten rid of everyone who stood in his way like the madman Nathan did, leaving only the weak ones. Raymond had never done that, making people think he was easy to topple.
Eric's forehead was covered in sweat, hoping he wouldn't get dragged into this mess. After all, when Vertex om Automotive Group Went through a native financial crisis, it was Raymond's underground fighting ring that funded them. Raymond was his boss; how could he dare offend him? Every word and action had to align with Raymond's wishes. But Eric was willing to follow Raymond. Vertex Automotive Group had becthe top luxury car group, all thanks to Raymond's guidance. Raymond wasn't even twenty back then.
