NovelEnglishChapter 218 Wrinkled eyebrows in pain, but calm in her eyes The room was quiet. After Raymond finished speaking, he heard Selena sincerely reply, "Mr. Montague, thank you." At least, without knowing that she was the wife he loathed, he still gave her a high evaluation.
This marriage was unnecessary for both of them, and they both felt helpless. There was no need to bleither of them.
The Fair family benefited from this. If she still asked Raymond to respect her as his wife, on what grounds? She couldn't monopolize all the benefits in the world.
Raymond didn't say anything and gently closed his eyes.
Selena knew he wanted to rest, so she fell silent as well.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt six o'clock in the morning, Raymond heard John's voice.
"Miss Selena, here is your breakfast. Thank you for staying with the president all night." "No need to thank me, and since you're here, I'll leave." The door to the sickroom was gently closed, and Raymond opened his eyes.
John saw that he had woken up and breathed a sigh of relief, quickly setting up a table.
"President, you should eat first." Raymond had no appetite. He had been burning up half the night, and now his face had a sickly paleness. "Is the Fair family situation resolved?" "I have intercepted all their business, and James is probably panicking today. Also, I have cut off James' communication with the old master. The old master cannot receive any calls from that number anymore." A permanent solution.
Even if something happened to the Fair family, James wouldn't be able to contact the old master anymore. Due to his health, the old master rarely left the Montague family mansion, so James wouldn't be able to simply run into him. This matter wouldn't bankrupt the Fair family, but it would give James a headache for at least a few months..
Raymond got up, used the toiletries John brought, and after washing up, he went back into his room.
Right now, he didn't feel like going back to Ashbourne Manor.
But Selena was on her way back to the Manor.
She had originally planned to go to Ridgefield today.
Selena had stayed by Raymond's side all night, not daring to blink her eyes. Now, after a solid sleep at Ashbourne Manor, she received a call from Beatrice. It wasn't her father calling, but Beatrice, which meant something had happened to her dad.
"The Fair family's business has suddenly been blocked. All the business partners are calling your father. He got anxious and passed out. He's upstairs resting now. It's better if you cback and see for yourself, so no one can say I didn't inform you. I think Raymond is behind this. It's also your fault for not taking care of him properly." Take care of him? Selena heard those words and hung up the phone immediately. But she couldn't ignore the Fair family. James only had a year left with his liver cancer, and now, with the stress from the company, that tmight be further shortened. She went to the Fair family but didn't see any doctors when she arrived. Beatrice had helped James up the stairs to rest. When Selena arrived Beatrice rolled her eyes at her. Selena didn't give her a friendly expression either, went upstairs, and saw that her father was awake, but his eye sockets were deeply sunken in, and he kept coughing.
Last time, Selena had asked the hospital to hide James's condition, but Beatrice and a few others probably knew. They knew James had liver cancer but yet didn't have a doctor cto the Fair family to examine him. Selena's brow furrowed, feeling uneasy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Dad." James's face looked terrible. The recent incident had taken a toll on him, and there was a certain gloom written on his face.
"Dad, sell the company shares to someone else. You can retire and stay behind the scenes. The temporary setback in business won't bankrupt the Fair family, and the stock prices won't drop for now. You can still sell them at a good price." This wasn't the first tSelena had asked James to retire and enjoy his remaining years with his money. But James had always been reluctant to let the company, he personally built, end up in someone else's hands.
"(Cough)I Is that why you cback?" James frowned, thought for a moment, and sighed. Tried calling the old man, but couldn't reach him. Selena, you can..." Before he could finish his sentence, Selena stood up. "I'm going to Ridgefield soon."
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Beatrice's sharp voice echoed in. "You really don't care about your father's well-being.
Selena. Are you really his daughter? How can you be so heartless? If it was Alice who married Raymond in the first place, we would have been prosperous by now." Selena sneered, "If Alice had that ability, she wouldn't be rushing to be with Raymond." "They had a meeting, and she was rejected. However, when it comes to pursuing men, she does indeed have the scharm as you, Beatrice." 'Smack!' Before Selena could finish her sentence, James threw a pillow at her.
The pillow hit Selena's face, causing her pain, but her eyes remained calm.
