Chapter 921 This Sentence Is a Double-Edged Sword Raymond wheeled himself closer and grabbed Selena's hand, which was still wrapped around Brenda's throat. Selena was pretty much out of steam, so it wasn't hard to stop her.
Brenda was about to pass out, but seeing Raymond gave her a jolt of energy. She croaked, "Mr. Montague, help me. Selena's trying to kill me. Think of the baby, please save me." Bringing up the baby was like twisting a knife in Selena's heart.
Raymond's face went dark.
Brenda kept going, "I knew you wouldn't letdie. I'm carrying your baby. Selena wants to kill our baby. She's so cruel, just like that dead dog. Mr. Montague, our baby's life is worth more than that dog's." "Shut up!" Raymond's voice was cold, like a blade cutting through Brenda.
Normally, Brenda would be scared stiff of him. But she had just stared death in the face, and now she was desperate to survive. So she kept talking about the baby, hoping it would save her. Raymond ordered someone to gag Brenda.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBrenda couldn't say another word, her mouth filling with blood, but she kept her eyes locked on Raymond and Selena, trying to push her belly out as much as she could.
Selena suddenly snapped back to reality. For a moment, she really had wanted to kill Brenda, almost forgetting about the baby.
But once she was clear-headed, the pain only got worse.
Selena's face went ghostly pale, and she wished she could tear out her aching heart.
Raymond saw how much pain she was in and quickly reached for her wrist, but Selena shook him off.
"Take her and get out!" Her voice was raw, like she was on the verge of breaking down.
Raymond knew she had the wrong idea. She must've thought he cto save Brenda because of the baby. "Selena, I..." He just didn't want her to have blood on her hands, to keep her clean.
But it didn't matter for him; he had plenty of blood on his hands already.
Before he could finish, Selena had already picked up her phone from the ground, mocking herself, "Mr. Montague, your baby's life is definitely more important than Max's." That statement cut both ways. It mocked Raymond for suddenly caring so much about a baby, rushing to Ashbourne Manor to save Brenda, but being heartless about the baby Selena once carried. It hurt both Raymond and Selena.
Raymond wanted to explain, but when Selena brought up the baby from the past, he was speechless. His outstretched hand fell back weakly.
Selena had already grabbed her phone and left, heading to the hospital where Max was. Whether Max could be saved or not, she had to be there, waiting for the outcome. Ashbourne Manor fell silent. Raymond sat in his wheelchair, feeling like every second was pure agony. He stared in the direction Selena had gone, his hand clenching into a fist.
After what felt like forever, he took a deep breath and said in a low, emotionless voice, "Take her away." Fiona, hearing that he wanted to take Brenda away, was instantly upset. Max was still in critical condition, and the vet had said it was touch and go. Selena had probably left to see Max one last time. Anyone who had pets knew how painful this was. How could the culprit be allowed to leave? Fiona quickly said, "Mr. Montague, you can't take her away. We need to wait for Ms. Fair's instructions." Fiona had always seen the Montague family as her masters, and this was the first tshe had contradicted Raymond.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRaymond ignored her and told the nearby bodyguards, "Take her away." Only John, standing not far away, knew that "taking away" probably meant killing Brenda.
John hesitated. After all, Brenda was pregnant. Should they really kill her? At that critical moment, the doorbell of Ashbourne Manor rang again. Everyone thought Selena had cback.
But when they opened the door, it was William standing outside.
William glanced inside, seemingly unaware of what had happened, his brow furrowing, "What happened?"
He looked at the bound Brenda, whose face was so swellen he didn't recognize be as the pregnant ER woman from the hospital. Raymond was puzzled as to why William had shown up at this moment.
William walked over to the couch and sat down, not seeing Selena there! "Where's Selena? Didn't she get discharged?" Fiona hesitated but finally explained what Brenda had done.
William slammed the table. "Kill her!" John hesitated, "But Mr. William Montague, Brenda is carrying Mr. Raymond Montague's baby." William sneered, leaning back on the couch, "That's not his baby."
William glanced at Raymond in the wheelchair, wanting to hit him with his cane, "I've checked thesurveillance at Manston Manor. Selena was there that night too, so think carefully about who you actually slept with."
