Chapter 609 Obviously, You're in Worse Shape Than I Am Selena stiffened and asked, "What gift?" "Penny, today is my birthday. Did you cto ask for my help without even preparing a gift?" Selena finally realized. "Mr. Montague, I'm sorry, I'll go prepare it right away." Raymond squinted his eyes, his face darkening.
Selena, afraid he would get angry, quickly kissed him on the lips.
Raymond instantly calmed down, and Selena's voice softened a bit.
"I'll go prepare it now. I'll make sure you're satisfied." Raymond immediately fell silent.
Selena reassured him again, "It'll only take a few hours. You guys probably won't have dinner until the evening, right?" Raymond's anger dissipated completely. He let her go, but his tone was still unpleasant.
"Letsee what you can cup with." When they went downstairs together, Alex couldn't believe how quickly Raymond's mood had changed.
'He went up full of rage, and now, less than ten minutes later, he is coming down so peacefully?' Alex couldn't help but glance at Raymond's crotch. 'That fast?' Raymond knew what he was thinking and couldn't be bothered to explain.

"Mr. Montague, I'll be back soon." As soon as she left, Alex put down the balloon he was holding.
"What happened? Did Selena calm you down that quickly?" Raymond seemed too easy to please.
Raymond sat down expressionlessly. "I wasn't angry just now." Everyone else at the table glanced silently at the trash can, where the broken wine bottle still lay.
Alex was speechless. Even when Raymond was furious, he still helped Selena.
He might not be good at comforting people, but he was reliable when it mattered.
The table was once again filled with new drinks, and Raymond's mood visibly improved. He even started playing cards with Paul and the others. After leaving, Selena immediately called Austin.
Upon learning that Austin had been released, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly drove pick up Austin, only to find that he had been drugged and was now weak and dizzy.
"Penny, I'm fine. It's just that the drug hasn't worn off yet. Please takehome. Thank you." Austin's hwas in an ordinary neighborhood. Although he had sfame, most of his earnings had been taken by his former company. Now it was his new beginning. Selena entered the room and saw that it was very clean, and the neighbors seemed nice.
She placed him on the sofa and called his agent.
"Penny, when I wake up, I have something to tell you." Austin was too weak to talk much now.
Selena waited for the agent to arrive before quickly leaving for the mall.
She couldn't think of what to get Raymond as a gift. He had been born into a wealthy family, where he lacked for nothing, so the gift had to be expensive.
In this regard, Selena and Raymond were somewhat similar.
She immediately took a fancy to a bracelet. She had seen Raymond wear a watch before, so he probably wouldn't mind this kind of thing.

It was a wooden bracelet, and at a price of five hundred thousand dollars, it was made from the rarest material. The bracelet also had a good meaning, and its dark brown color was very understated. The key was that Selena really liked the scent. She thought it might help suppress Raymond's temper.
"Miss, are you sure you want this one? The wooden bracelet is very suitable for men. There's a¶egend' about it that says if a couple can smell its scent, they will have a good ending." Selena didn't hesitate to place the order. When she held the gift in her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But as she was leaving the mall, she ran into Olivia.
Olivia was also there to pick out a gift for Raymond. She originally had the perfect gift, but it had been burned last night.
The two ran into each other at the entrance, and Olivia deliberately bumped her shoulder hard. Selena stumbled back a few steps, and the bracelet in her hand naturally fell to the ground.
Olivia saw the packaging but couldn't tell what she had bought.
"Is this the gift you bought for Raymond? You're so pathetic. He's already divorced you, and you're still trying to suck up to him!"
Olivia had been very upset by Raymond's coldness last night and had been in a foul moodall day. But she still didn't want to give up and had even asked Abigail and Catherine if Raymond wanted anything recently. It turned out that neither Abigail nor Catherine knew it was Raymond's birthday today. So Olivia had cto the mall, not expecting to run into the last person she wanted to see.
Selena picked up the bracelet from the ground and found it amusing. "I could say the sto you. Clearly, you're in a worse shape than I am." Olivia immediately thought of Raymond's indifference last night and becfurious. She rushed over and grabbed the bracelet, trying to break it.
