GoodReadChapter 856 Raymond is Mine Selena stared at the wine in front of her, not saying a word. Richard reached over and gave her a light pat on the head.
"Look," Richard started, "my brother's got this icy vibe. He's either chewingout or spoiling my sister. Penny, even if Raymond screws up, he's got the chops to bounce back and start a new gig. Even if he's not the big boss, places like Wealth Light Valley Street and Silicon Valley would still roll out the red carpet for him. The guy's a genius, a rising star in the biz world. He ain't gonna lose that shine. The media in Vistalia love him not 'cause he's a Montague, but 'cause he's Raymond. Simple as that." Selena kept quiet, and Richard figured she still didn't get it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe went on, "Remember that underground fight club I told you about? You can trade anything there; it's the most notorious gray zone in Vistalia. That's Raymond's turf. The Smith Family tried to snag it but flopped. Other big families fought over it too. When everyone was beat, Raymond swooped in and took over. So, my brother warnednot to mess with him. We might not know much about Raymond, but you and him? Different worlds." Richard pulled out a handkerchief and wiped Selena's cheek. She'd just left the hospital, looking all frail, and her nose was sweaty from rushing over.
"So," Richard added, "just focus on running your own company. Don't sweat Raymond. Just make sure you're living the good life." Selena had no clue how she left the bar. She got in her car, and her phone rang. It was already dark outside. She hit the answer button, and a sharp voice cthrough.
"Are you Selena?" a woman asked.
Selena glanced at her phone. The contact was saved as Mr. Montague. It was Raymond's number.
"Yeah, what do you want?" Selena replied.
Tessa warned, "You better stay away from my husband. I won't hold Aria's thing against you, but if you pissoff, you're gonna regret it. No one's gonna help you then. I'm letting you off now 'cause I'm feeling generous, and I don't wanna waste my energy on you." Selena found it funny and leaned back. "Does he even know you call him husband?" Tessa, sounding all smug, said, "Of course he knows. We had dinner tonight, and he even boughtflowers. What's wrong withcalling him that? We're getting married, and I've already told my mom. She's got him staying for dinner the day after tomorrow, so he can't cback now." Tessa was around Selena's age, but her pampered life made her voice sound all sweet and innocent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelena didn't say anything, feeling a bit jealous of Tessa. Whatever Tessa wanted, her family made sure she got it. If Tessa got a tiny cut, they'd probably call the best private doctor, unlike Selena, who almost lost her life along the way. Tessa went on, "My husband's coming, so I'm done talking to you. Just be smart. Richard's in Silver Bay City, so don't makesend him after you." Tessa added, "Selena, I'm only saying this once. If you cause any more trouble, I won't let you off. Raymond's mine. I've known him for years." The call ended abruptly, and Tessa put the phone back.
Raymond had just wrapped up a top-secret meeting where no one pone could bring their phones. Everyone's devices were kept in that room. When Raymond cin, he saw a girl who'd been tailing him for days.
He knew she was the little princess of the Smith Family, also known as the little princess of Vistalia, with close ties to the royal family.
Raymond grabbed his phone, said a few words to the senior execs nearby, and decided to head back to the hotel. Tessa followed him. "Honey, my mom wants to meet you. Are you free the day after tomorrow?" The other senior execs were still in the previous room. Raymond got in the elevator alone, and the girl followed him in.
The elevator doors closed, and when they hit the first floor, Tessa was still e trailing him, her face always looking attinnocent and naive. Raymond stopped, turned around, and gave her a light smile. Then his eyes went cold, and he spat out, "Get lost."
