NovelEnglishChapter 774 Becoming the Mistress "Raymond, what's your next move?" Alex asked.
Before he knew Penny was actually Selena, Raymond was already into her, not even caring she was married. Now that he knew the truth, he was even more determined not to let go.
But Selena definitely wasn't into him. If she had even a bit of interest, she wouldn't have divorced him. Raymond sat on the couch, a thick stack of info about Selena in front of him.
He rubbed his temples, his voice all raspy. "I have no clue." This whole situation was so unreal, it totally blindsided him.
"Do you want to win her back?" Alex asked.
"Of course I do," Raymond replied.

He knew he had been a total jerk in the past, saying all kinds of crap about Selena to her face, and even getting involved when James was sick. One screw-up after another, he had messed up big time.
Selena was super rational. Even after hooking up with him so many times, she never budged on the divorce, showing just how much she despised him.
If she didn't need something from him, she probably wouldn't have seen him at all after the divorce.
He felt a lump in his throat and a tightness in his chest.
Yeah, Selena's dad James had passed away. During James's illness, he had even messed with the Fair family's business.
Selena would have to be out of her mind to like him! And she was clearly a sane woman.
Alex was still standing when he suddenly saw Raymond look up, his tone uncertain. "Alex, what should I do?" Alex stiffened. He had never seen Raymond like this before.
In the business world, he was unstoppable, capable of anything.
But when it cto Selena, he was helpless and scared, now having to ask Alex for help.
Alex opened his mouth but didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a minute, he finally said, "If you want to win her back, be good to her. Women need to be sweet-talked. Put aside your tough-guy act for now. Find out what she needs and give it to her. After all, you have no shortage of money." "What if she needsto stay away from her and draw a clear line?" Raymond asked.
Alex was stumped. Weirdly, he felt that Raymond asking this question showed he understood Selena's personality pretty well.
He replied, "Even if that's the case, it doesn't stop you from pursuing her. Plus, her mom died when she was young, and now her dad's gone. She's all alone. She must be lonely. And with the Fair family's business still ongoing, many people are eyeing it. If you help her out more, maybe her attitude will soften over time." Raymond took a deep breath. It seemed this was the only way for now.
Alex finally sat down, running his hands through his hair. "I've racked my brains and still can't figure out how Penny turned out to be Selena!" The two men fell silent.

Finally! This identity was finally out in the open! No more worrying about Raymond's revenge. She could finally be open and honest.
Feeling good, she took Max to play outside in the yard.
Fiona, who hadn't seen her in such a good mood for a long time, quickly asked if she wanted à late-night En. snack.
"No, Fiona, you go to bed," Selena said. She squatted down, holding Max's head in her hands and shaking it Max played along, moving his head. Her phone rang. It was Shelley calling.
"What's up? Did Raymond finally find out?" Shelley asked.
"Yeah," Selena replied.
"He didn't give you a hard time?" "No, which I also find strange."
"Maybe he really likes you. Listen to what others are saying. They say Raymond got angry over a woman, and now he's at odds with Richard. Even Mr. Montague has stepped in. Selena, you're something else. Selena suddenly didn't know what to say. 'Like? How could that be like?' Selena thought.
