Chapter 656 The Lover Clinging to Raymond Selena stood up, her expression calm and composed.
"You're right. People need to accept their fate. I'll return those words to you," she said.
Olivia's body trembled as she pounded on the glass in front of her.
"Don't be so smug! You bitch! Even after everything I've done, I still have parents who love me. What do you have?! You don't even know where your parents are! Bastard! A pathetic bastard! Raymond doesn't love you either; you're so pitiful!" Olivia shouted.
Selena calmly wrote a check for five million dollars.
"I'll have someone send you abroad and restrict your re-entry. After that, I don't want to see you in Silver Bay City again." "What right do you have to do this? You bitch! I haven't lost yet!" Olivia was too emotional and was taken away.

Originally, having Olivia spend her life in prison would have been the best outcome, but now she had to let Olivia go and even give her money. It was incredibly frustrating.
Her face looked a bit grim, and just as she was leaving, she ran into Richard.
Today, Richard sported a gray trench coat, complemented by an LV scarf. Selena turned the last corner and bumped right into his arms.
Richard instinctively held her, looking down at her.
"Penny?" "Mr. Smith." Selena took a step back. What was Richard doing at the police station? Seemingly understanding her question, Richard pointed to his car parked by the roadside and said, "The thieves in Silver Bay City are crazy. They stole all four wheels off my car." Selena thought he was joking and couldn't help but look over. When she saw that even the Rolls-Royce emblem had been pried off, she couldn't help but laugh.
It was indeed a bit ridiculous.
"So you're here to file a report?" Richard nodded. "I parked my car near the police station last night. There's a bar nearby. When I cout after drinking, all that was left was the car frame." Selena still found it funny, but it would be impolite to laugh out loud, so she kept her mouth tight.
Richard quite liked her.
"Penny, I'm not very familiar with Silver Bay City. I haven't been here much. Would you mind being my tour guide?" Selena happened to be free today, and his words lightened the frustration Olivia had caused, so she nodded. "It would be my pleasure." She accompanied Richard to file the report. The police probably had never seen such brazen thieves, especially so close to the police station.
The officers' faces turned red with embarrassment.
When Richard cout, he eyed Selena's car.
"Need a lift?" Selena offered.
Richard nodded and slid into the driver's seat without hesitation. "My new car won't be here until the afternoon. Can't let my brother find out about this, or he'll think I'm up to no good again." He glanced at his phone. "I've got a meeting in half an hour. Mind if I hitch a ride?" If Richard really needed a ride, he could just make a call, and a fleet of luxury cars would show up. Plenty of companies wanted to work with the Smith family.

"I'm meeting Bryan Ward. I'm looking into the film industry here in Silver Bay City to see if there are any scripts worth investing in. Isn't he a bigm namong screenwriters? I'm hoping he's got something good." Bryan was a well-known screenwriter. Unlike Alex, Bryan was now a mentor at Silver Bay Film Academy and wrote one or two scripts a year. Each script could be turned into a short, captivating TV series. His scripts almost always bechits. While Alex's scripts were also popular, they were more market-driven and often focused on romance, his specialty.
But Bryan's scripts were diverse, fitting for a professor and guest lecturer at the academy.
At the last yacht party, Selena had wanted to meet someone like him, but she had to leave early due to an accident. She didn't expect to get another chance now. "Alright, Mr. Smith, I'll take you there." Richard noticed her attitude shift and smiled.
"Thinking about investing in film?" "Yes, I just started a new company and want to invest in film." Richard was a bit surprised. The last the saw her, she seemed like just Raymond's dependent lover.
He didn't expect her to have such ambitions.
He becintrigued. "If you're serious about investing in film, why not go directly to Raymond? He's a bit arrogant, but his business acumen is top-notch. I heard about him even when I was in Visalia. What he does there doesn't conflict with the Smith family's interests, so we never had any dealings."
