Chapter 874 If She Can't Have Them, She'll Destroy Them Elbert was so sure Raymond would lose, he was practically betting his life on it. No way he'd be acting all high and mighty otherwise.
Selena shot a look behind him and yelled, "Raymond!" Elbert froze, yanking his hand back like he'd touched a hot stove.
He turned around, but there was nothing there. He'd been played.
When he faced Selena again, she was smirking like she'd just won the lottery. "You act all tough, but deep down, you're scared of Raymond, aren't you?" Elbert's face turned red with anger. He raised his hand to slap her. "Bitch!" Selena thought about dodging, but then she saw Raymond out of the corner of her eye and decided to take the hit.
Her cheek stung like hell.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElbert sneered after slapping her. "Who do you think you are, messing with me?" Right then, Raymond's voice cut through the air, "Elbert!" Raymond was barely holding back his rage, his eyes cold as ice as he looked at Selena. "What are you doing at the Montague Group?" Selena knew he was still pissed about yesterday. Even after taking a slap, he was still fuming. Her heart ached. Raymond's stare didn't soften one bit.
Selena grabbed her bag and was ready to bolt.
Raymond's voice was like a cold slap. "Don't clooking foragain, Selena. Don't kid yourself. Everything you've done makessick. The Montague Group isn't a place for you." Selena stiffened, wiped the blood from her lip, and said with a bitter smile, "Got it, Mr. Montague." As soon as she left, Elbert turned to Raymond with a sly grin. "I thought you were serious about her, but you're just playing. So, why not lethave her?" In a flash, Raymond's foot slammed into Elbert's chest.
Raymond sneered, "Have her? You think you can have her?" Elbert was caught off guard, crashing into the wall and coughing up blood. He spat out a few more mouthfuls. Raymond walked over and stomped on the hand Elbert had used to slap Selena.
Elbert's mind was spinning. How dare Raymond? He felt like his fingers were about to snap.
Raymond glared down at him. "Elbert, if you want to mess with the Montague Group, we can play that game. But if you mess with her, I'm done playing nice. If I cross a line, don't say I didn't warn you." Elbert was so freaked out by the look in Raymond's eyes, he couldn't even get a word out. His chest was killing him on one side, and his hand felt like it was on fire on the other. Finally, he coughed up sblood and blacked out.
Raymond pulled his leg back and called out, "John." John quickly appeared from around the corner. He'd already made sure no one else was around to see what went down.
Raymond gave the order, "Get him a doctor." John nodded, "Yes, Mr. Montague." An ambulance showed up at the Montague Group in no time, and a bunch of doctors carried the unconscious Elbert away on a stretcher. The staff heard sstory about Elbert tripping on the stairs and passing out.
One staffer asked, "Why would Mr. Montague take the stairs? Doesn't he have a private elevator?" Another one just shrugged, "Who knows." The higher-ups had a pretty good idea it had something to do with Raymond.
Back in his office, Raymond couldn't shake the image of the slap mark on Selena's face. It made his blood boil.
Then he remembered how she ditched him for three Hollywood gigs, and he got even more pissed.
He opened his computer and accidentally caught a glimpse of the latest entertainment news.
