NovelEnglishChapter 1026 I Can't Handle All the Cheesy Romance Alex was scratching his head, thinking, "What kind of spell does Selena have over Raymond? Even with all the proof, he's still got her back." He quickly figured out that if he kept trash-talking Selena, Raymond would cut him off.
So, Alex decided to drop it, grinning as he set his drink down. "Man, how did I miss that you're such a hopeless romantic?" Raymond just ignored him. Being with Selena had him floating on air.
Alex, who'd never been in a serious relationship, shoved him away, looking grossed out. "Dude, move over. I can't handle all this lovey-dovey stuff." "You're just jealous," Raymond laughed. Just thinking about Selena made him feel all warm and fuzzy.
Alex found it hilarious. "Jealous? Of what? That you've got someone bossing you around now? Or that all your future money's going to Selena? No thanks. I'd rather stay single. I can hook up with whoever I want, no strings attached. It's perfect; we both get what we want, and nobody's tied down." Alex poured himself another drink, smirking at Raymond. "Who knows if you two will last? If you were really meant to be, you wouldn't have split up in the first place. And let's be real, she tricked you into the divorce. You were cool with being her secret fling, but if you knew she was your wife, would you have signed those papers?" That hit Raymond right where it hurt. He went quiet.

After three times with a girl, I'm over it." Alex didn't bother keeping his voice down, so a bunch of rich guys nearby heard and started whispering. Wasn't this every guy's dream? Hooking up with hot women without any commitment. Most guys just didn't have the guts to say it out loud.
Alex poured himself another drink, grinning. "I'm serious. No woman can tiedown." Just then, his phone rang. He frowned and picked it up.
After listening for a bit, his face darkened. "What do you mean the role needs to be recast? I'll be there in a minute!" Alex stood up and patted Raymond on the shoulder. "Got s with my new show. Oh, and Paul won't be here tonight; he got into a car accident." As soon as Alex left, nobody else dared to approach Raymond.
Raymond hung around for a few more minutes before leaving the private room.
Walking down the hallway, he ran into Caterlington, who looked like he wanted to deck him.
Caterlington said, "Raymond, you're something else. I didn't even know about my dad's scandals." Raymond hadn't seen Caterlington lately because he'd been abroad dealing with his dad's mess.
Kross was a dirtbag with a secret kid overseas. If the kid cback, he'd definitely fight Caterlington for the inheritance.
When Caterlington found out, he flew out to handle it.
He didn't expect the woman with Kross's kid to be such a pain. After a ton of effort, he finally got rid of her, only to cback and hear that Raymond was with Selena. Raymond lit a cigarette, grinning. "Hey, it was your dad's mess. I told you so you wouldn't lose your inheritance. You should be thanking me."
Caterlington got closer, his usual smile replaced with a cold stare. "Yeah, thanks. If it weren't for someone advising that woman m behind the scenes, I could've cback sooner." "Would it have made a difference? Selena's picky about relationships. Do you even know how many women you've been with? She'd never go for you." Caterlington's fist clenched and unclenched, but he didn't say anything and just walked through the door.

Raymond had handled this quietly; he didn't need to get involved directly. A phone call to someone else did the E trick. Raymond flicked the ash from his cigarette, looking troubled.
Caterlington's feelings for Selena were real.
Raymond suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
He'd only been with Selena fona few days, and already it felt like everything was falling apart.
