GoodReadChapter 873 Do You Like Him? Selena had already blasted about Max on her socials. Anyone who saw that post knew Max was her world.
Richard finished his rant and then sighed, "Look, Tessa just doesn't want you two together. So, you gotta make Raymond hate you. Cut down on seeing him, and when you do, make him despise you. Penny, Tessa's spoiled by Lawrence, and you can't handle his tricks." So, Richard was actually looking out for her.
Selena lowered her lashes. "I get it." She could only blherself for being too soft and not acting on impulse.
S.M Corporation was still growing, and so many people had their money on her. The weight of responsibility made her hesitant to act rashly.
She laughed at herself, "I'll make him hate me. What I said yesterday should've already done the trick." Richard asked, "Do you like him?" Selena tensed up, gripping her phone tighter. "Not sure, Mr. Smith. I'm hanging up now." After hanging up, Selena stared blankly ahead in the car.
Ten minutes later, she drove to the Montague Group.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she got to the top floor, she ran into John, who said, "Mr. Montague is still in a meeting, which will probably take three hours. Ms. Fair, wanna wait in the reception room?" Selena shook her head and pointed to a small couch in the hallway corner. "I'll just sit here. Letknow when he's done." John nodded and went into the meeting room, spotting Raymond by the floor-to-ceiling window.
The execs were all silent and uneasy.
Lately, everyone noticed changes in the Montague Group. Now, Elbert openly skipped meetings, clearly showing his fight with Raymond. Plus, the bet between Raymond and Vertex Automotive Group had started. With only two months left, no one knew if he could win.
Most of the execs admired Raymond and were loyal, but a few were wavering, thinking of siding with Elbert.
John walked over to Raymond and whispered, "Mr. Montague, Ms. Cooper is here." Raymond's eyes flickered but quickly went back to calm, like he hadn't heard.
John only reminded him once and then stood quietly by his side.
Raymond calmly put down his pen and looked at the silent execs. "So no one wants to persuade Mr. Elbert Montague?" Elbert now held thirty percent of the shares and had significant pull in the Montague Group.
Before, Raymond had more than half the shares, so he called the shots without asking anyone.
But now, with the shares split, he only had voting rights, and the final decision had to be made by all the shareholders. With Elbert absent, no decision could be made.
This was a power play against Raymond. Everyone thought Raymond would be mad, but he just stood up. "Meeting adjourned." The execs looked at each other, not getting what was happening.
Even though they knew the Montague Group was in deep trouble, they didn't dare say anything to Raymond.
They really didn't know who'd win until the last moment.
Raymond got up and went to his office, deliberately avoiding the hallway where Selena was.
Selena sat for a while and then saw Elbert.

Selena stood up and nodded at him.
Elbert, in his fifties, looked at Selena in a way that made her feel grossed out.
Elbert smiled sleazily, "Raymond's got good taste. You're way prettier than my mistresses." Selena's face changed instantly, feeling disgusted.
Elbert, confident in his deal with the president of Vertex Automotive Group, saw Selena and got even bolder.
Elbert laughed, "In no more than two months, Raymond will be out Selena, will why not be my lover? I'd like to see what Raymond's woman is like."
Selena suppressed her disgust, her eyes turning cold. "Mr. Montaguen! was once married into the Montague Family. You're my elder. Saying such things is beneath you."
Elbert raised his hand, his fingertips trying to touch her cheek, but she dodged. "Stop pretending. You'ven already divorced Raymond but still sleep with him, making him devoted to you. You're much better than Olivia. You must have sexceptional skills in bed, right?" Selena hadn't expected Elbert to be so vile once he dropped his act.
