NovelEnglishChapter 1226 Then She'd Better Be Dead Christopher's alter ego had a cold smirk in his eyes. This was where Raymond fell short; at least he wouldn't lose his mind over Selena's disappearance.
He quietly looked at the documents in his hand, only snapping out of his thoughts when he heard Donovan calling him.
"Christopher, Christopher?" He finally cback to reality and smiled gently.
"Yeah, Dad? What's up?" "The company needs you to step up for a while. I don't think Raymond will be coming in anytsoon." "I'm his older brother. It's my duty to help him out." Donovan patted his shoulder, looking pleased.
Meanwhile, Christopher's alter ego turned to gaze out the window, his thoughts drifting far away.
He was wondering who had taken Selena and for what purpose.

"She's out of immediate danger, but her body is extremely fragile. She will need careful care from now on." Lawrence let out a sigh of relief, leaning back against the wall as he felt his stiff limbs start to relax. "Alright, I understand." He followed the doctor into Tessa's room.
Seeing Tessa's swollen, tear-streaked face, Lawrence felt a pang of sorrow.
He pressed his lips together, a flash of coldness in his eyes.
His phone rang, and a trembling male voice cthrough it was one of his men.
"Mr. Smith, Raymond has leveled the villa." Unbelievable! Lawrence's grip on the phone tightened, his breathing becoming rapid.
"Tell the people searching for Selena that if they find her, they should take care of her on the spot. Don't let Raymond find her remains." The person on the other end shivered at his words.
"Mr. Smith, are you sure about this?" Lawrence had never done anything like this before, but Raymond had crossed a line.
"Yes. Also, have the companies in Silver Bay City prepare to launch a full-scale attack on the Montague Group's business. Even if we can't bring them down, we need to take a chunk out of them." "Understood, Mr. Smith." As soon as Lawrence hung up, the door to the room opened, and Richard walked in. "Lawrence, are you planning to go head-to-head with Raymond?" This could end in mutual destruction, and their parents in Vistalia had no idea what was happening.
Lawrence put his phone down and looked at Tessa lying on the bed.
"Tessa almost died, but Selena is just missing." Richard was at a loss for words. On one hand, he felt Tessa deserved it—why kidnap Selena and leave so much blood on the steps for Raymond to see? Any man would go crazy.
But on the other hand, Tessa was his sister. No matter how reckless she was, it didn't give Raymond the right to humiliate the Smith family.
So he was torn.
Lawrence stood by the window, his expression cold. "Whether it's Raymond or Selena, they both have to pay for this." "Lawrence, what did Selena do wrong?" Lawrence noticed Richard defending Selena, his eyes turning icy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"As long as she's Selena, the one responsible for Tessa's condition, she doesn't deserve to live." Richard knew Lawrence had always favored Tessa. He suddenly remembered what Selena had said about Lawrence's feelings for Tessa being inappropriate.
It made him uncomfortable.
"Lawrence, Tessa is our sister. You don't have any... extra feelings for her, do you?" Lawrence stiffened, as if he couldn't believe Richard would ask such a thing.
"Richard, what are you talking about? Tessa grew up with us. It's natural forto care about her she's our only sister! Don't project your romantic notions onto us. I care for her because of our blood relation." He was just an overprotective brother, nothing more.
Richard sighed in relief. That was good to hear that.
"Lawrence, you can't go after Selena. We're not in the right here. Even if you want to settle the score with m Raymond, that's understandable. But we don't even know if Selena is dead or alive." "Then she better be dead." Lawrence's tone was merciless. "In this world, the lives of outsiders will never be more important than the lives of my family."
