NovelEnglishChapter 1225 Don't Let a Woman Ruin You Such powerful forces had been mobilized, yet none of them had any news about Selena.
This meant that Selena hadn't run away on her own; someone had taken her, and that someone had a formidable backing.
Paul shook his head and flicked away the cigarette he was holding between his fingers. "Man, you gotta quit smoking. Keep this up, and you'll be six feet under before we find her." Raymond rubbed his face hard and got out of the car, ready to continue the search.
But his car had been running all night, and it was covered in mud.
His pant legs were also caked in mud.
The once high-and-mighty president of the Montague Group was now a mess.
As Raymond stepped out of the car, he nearly collapsed, but Paul caught him just in time.
Their forces had been searching an eighty-mile radius centered around Lawrence's villa. How could they not find her? Where on earth was Selena? Was she already dead? The thought made Raymond's heart clench painfully.

Selena...
A wave of anger surged through him, and he sent out a message.
Ten minutes later, Lawrence's villa was leveled to the ground by ten large excavators. Lawrence himself was at the hospital with Tessa and hadn't yet received the news.
But the news spread quickly within their circle. People had been gossiping fervently, but after seeing the state of Lawrence's villa, all the chat groups went silent.
No one wanted to risk Raymond's wrath turning on them.
Selena's disappearance had becwidely known.
For three days, everyone was on edge.
Every possible place had been searched, but Selena seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Raymond's rage had given way to calm, and then to a chilling silence.
When Donovan cto see him, he offered swords of comfort, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.
He had always thought Selena was a troublemaker, seducing men and causing his two sons to turn against each other.
With Selena gone, his sons could get along like they used to.
Raymond sat on the couch, surrounded by a pile of Montague Group documents from the past three days, but he hadn't signed any of them.
It was as if his spirit had disappeared along with Selena.
Donovan picked up the documents.
"Raymond, I'll have these sent to Christopher. You haven't been to the Montague Group in days. He's handling things for now. You need to pull yourself together. Don't let a woman ruin you. Look at what people are saying about you." Donovan was usually a man of few words, but today he was so pleased that he couldn't help but say more.
Raymond stared at the cup on the table for a long tbefore speaking.

Donovan's easy demeanor vanished, replaced by awkwardness.
"I'm just trying to help you." Raymond let out a cold laugh. "You can leave now." It was the first tRaymond had spoken to Donovan like that.
Donovan was taken aback and felt a wave of discomfort and frustration. He left.
Back in his car, he sighed, unsure of how to deal with Raymond.
As a father, he was genuinely relieved by Selena's disappearance.
He handed the documents to Christopher's alter ego, who had been waiting.
"Christopher, I still think you're better m suited to be the president of the Montague Group. Raymond is too impulsive. He's completely alienated the Smith family. Who knows what kind of trouble we'll be in once Lawrence decides to retaliate."
He had heard that Tessa had been in critical condition for three days, with Lawrence and Richard by her side the NO whole time. They simply hadn't had the chance to strike back at Raymond yet.
Christopher's alter ego reviewed the documents, mentally noting them current projects the Montague Group was handling. With Raymond completely demoralized, he could seize this opportunity to take over the Montague Group.
