NovelEnglishChapter 737 With Raymond's Male Thinking Faced with Raymond's accusations, Selena couldn't even argue back.
She slumped against the wall, feeling totally wiped out, but she still had to head to where Barbara stashed that jellyfish-like seal and dig it up. These folks were desperate to find it, so it had to be something big.
Selena figured her days of peace were pretty much over.
They'd already cfor her, after all.
She opened her mouth, but all she managed to say was, "I'm beat, I'm gonna rest." Then she turned to leave.
Raymond quietly trailed behind her. When he saw her about to flag down a cab, he yanked her into his own car. Selena ended up right in his arms, and he held her tight, not letting her budge.
"Penny, what's got you so riled up now?" Raymond asked.

Raymond gave her a light kiss, watching her eyelashes flutter like butterfly wings.
His heart melted instantly. "Later, we'll head back to Silver Bay City together," he said. Ridgefield wasn't safe; who knew if there were more kidnappers lurking around? Selena didn't say a word, just silently slid into the driver's seat.
Raymond didn't stop her, just watched as she drove the car into a narrow alley.
After getting out, Selena quickly entered Brian's house and went straight to a mud stove. Without a second thought, she grabbed a nearby chair and smashed the stove to bits. Raymond wanted to stop her but heard her say, "Mr. Montague, please wait outside." Raymond didn't press further, just watched her dig under the stove.
In no time, she unearthed a small iron box, about the size of a palm.
Selena opened it and saw the jellyfish-like seal inside.
The seal was pure white, with a beautiful jellyfish on it.
When she saw this seal as a kid, it didn't seem all that special.
But now, seeing it again, she realized how exquisitely it was carved, and the material was top-notch.
What was this seal for, anyway? Why would the kidnappers go to such lengths to get it? She closed the box, held it tight, and went out to find Raymond.
It was already dusk, and Raymond was leaning against the car, smoking. Even with wrinkled clothes, he still looked super classy.
He didn't ask what Selena had dug up. When he saw her cout, he opened the passenger door for her. Selena clutched the palm-sized box. She wanted to give it to Raymond to help figure out the seal.
But remembering Barbara's instructions, she held back.
What secrets had Barbara hidden back then? Did Barbara know she wasn't her real mom? Selena was super confused. She even started to doubt if Barbara was really dead.
After all, she was too young back then, only knowing Barbara was bedridden for a while, seriously ill, and then passed away, making Selena's world crumble.

After that, she followed James, moving through various business scenes, growing up inhaling secondhand smoke and smelling alcohol. She leaned back in her seat, staring blankly at the sunset.
When the car stopped, she realized they were at the hospital again.
Mia's check-up was done, but she was still out cold. Raymond wanted to take her to Silver Bay City for more perto tests. Selena thought Raymond would drive back to Silver Bay City, but soon she heard the sound of a helicopter.
Taking a helicopter would take less than an hour.
But driving would take four to five hours.
Mia was also placed on the helicopter.
When they arrived in Silver Bay City, it was just six in the evening.
Selena's stomach was growling with hunger. Raymond took her to Manston Manor, hugged her at the door, and told her, "I need to go to the hospital to check on Mia. The Montague family will also be there. After that, I have something I want to discuss with you."
