Chapter 1104 A Substitute for His Brother
Raymond put all the files back, even neatly folding them as if they had never been opened.
He didn't even know why he came here to humiliate himself. How long had she known Christopher?
Why did she come to Raymond's side?
Why did she lie and say that man was named Mario?
Raymond had too many questions he wanted to ask.
But he guessed he might not like the answers.
It was nothing more than knowing he was just a stand-in for his brother.
His eyes instantly turned cold. When everyone used to say he couldn't compare to Christopher, he didn't even want to argue; he just chose to join the military.
He didn't want to compete with Christopher for anything; in fact, he thought Christopher was pretty good.
But human nature was selfish, and being ignored for so long inevitably bred resentment.
However, he learned to let go of that resentment, even taking over the Montague Group after Christopher's death.
Just because he had feelings for his grandfather.
Raymond put all the documents away, thinking that when Selena agreed to marry into the Montague family, it was probably not just because she wanted to help the Fair family at the time, but also because she originally wanted to marry into the Montague family, only she wanted to marry Christopher.
But Christopher died, so she thought of using Raymond as a stand-in for Christopher, settling for second best.
Selena was his only moment of heart-pounding excitement, but he was just her second choice.
Selena never loved him; she appeared by his side only for revenge. How ironic.
Raymond's fist slammed into the wall, somewhat annoyed at how he had fallen for it.
He should have divorced her as soon as he returned to the country, instead of indulging himself in making love to her so many times, to the point where he now felt like a complainer.
He forced all his emotions back down, left Silver Bay University, and went straight back to Manston Manor.
Harry's case had already been handed over to the police, so he didn't need to worry about it anymore. He just needed to manage the group well and then choose a fiancée at the appropriate age.
Tessa was indeed a good choice.
Paul called at this moment, somewhat puzzled, "Why did you send back all the people looking for Christopher? You give up?"
Raymond had just finished his shower, loosely wrapping a towel around himself.
"Yes."
Whatever Christopher's intentions were, it was the country's concern, not Raymond's. He didn't need to meet Christopher and Selena again. Raymond couldn't admit that he was avoiding it.
Raymond was worried that if he found Christopher, he would witness him and Selena being intimate, and that would drive him crazy.
The only way was to give up looking for them and live his own life in peace.
All his unwillingness fermented into bitter wine, which he drank alone, and it was enough to move on.
He didn't need to be so heartbroken over Selena's departure; that wasn't like him.
Paul was silent for a moment on the other end, then suddenly asked.
"So you really don't care about Selena's life or death anymore? You know, a lot of people in Silver Bay City don't like her, especially those women who have confessed their love to you before. Once you don't want Selena anymore, she'll face their crazy revenge."
Raymond sneered and lit a cigarette.
It was Selena who didn't want him.novelbin
"Christopher is so powerful; he will definitely protect her well. Her safety has nothing to do with me anymore. If I keep worrying about her, wouldn't that be pathetic?"
Paul sighed in relief, "It's good that you can think it through, but aren't you interested in that experiment the country is investigating?"
Raymond used to investigate Christopher's matters because William was still alive, even if it was for William.
But now that William was dead, what was the point of investigating Christopher?
It's just self-torment.
"I'm not interested. I'm just a businessman. From now on, don't tell me anything about them."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Paul didn't try to persuade him anymore.
Originally, everyone was against Raymond and Selena being together, thinking Selena was not good enough for Raymond.
Now, with Selena's full of lies and deceit, it was simply atrocious.
It would be best if Selena died outside and never came back, so as not to bother everyone here.
"Okay, I understand."
