Chapter 197 The Relationship between this Father and Daughter Must Collapse As soon as the door to the room closed, Selena sat on the sofa. She felt exhausted after being harassed by Ms. Montague. Seeing Raymond's back full of wounds had taken an even greater toll on her. She wondered when this poor lie would finally end. She had to be on constant alert.
* In his room, Raymond worked for a while because he couldn't lie down with the wounds on his back. In the middle of the night, when he went out, he saw Selena leaning on the sofa, looking very innocent. He frowned, thinking that their night together was completely over and after tonight, they would have to distance themselves from each other.
Aunt was right, if Grandfather found out about her existence, it wouldn't be as simple as being dragged down to the studio. He stood in front of the coffee table, looking at her peacefully, sleeping face.
She had a small face, and when her eyes were closed, she lost her plainness and appeared delicate and obedient. When she was talking to her husband on the phone just now, she was nearly bursting with sweetness.
It seemed that Alex had indeed overthought before. She had expressed her heartfelt devotion to her husband several times, and that night probably didn't leave any impression in her mind. After all, she and her husband had had countless nights like that.

After swallowing, he noticed that it was the glass she had used, and there was a faint pink lip mark on the edge of the glass. Furrowing his brow, he put the glass down and entered his room without looking back.
The next morning, when Selena woke up, she found him sitting on the opposite sofa. She quickly rubbed her eyes, sat up straight, and looked at him cautiously.
She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.
It was only six o'clock. Did he wake up this early even on his day off? "Mr. Montague?" Her voice carried a hint of softness, as if she had just woken up.
Raymond didn't look at her and replied with a grunt, folding up the documents.
Selena hurriedly went to the bathroom to freshen up. When she cout, she asked in a low voice, "Mr. Montague, what would you like for breakfast? I can bring it up for you from downstairs. Also, is your back injury hurting? Maybe we should go to the hospital today." Raymond opened another file and upon hearing this, he only uttered two words, "Whatever's fine." Selena opened the door and went downstairs to fetch breakfast.
When she arrived at the hotel's buffet, she immediately spotted Alice, who had been waiting there for a while. Her eyebrows arched, her eyes turning cold.
Alice hadn't expected to see her here and felt a touch of embarrassment in her eyes.
"Sister, what are you doing here?" How could Selena appear at the hotel where Raymond was staying? Alice often kept an eye on places Raymond frequented, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
She always believed that her sincerity could move Raymond.
But now, she saw Selena instead.
Could it be that this person was also with Raymond? A chill flashed in her eyes but as she looked up, it turned into a weak and sweet smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Sister, were you here at the hotel last night too?" Since finding out about Alice's feelings for Raymond, Selena had already realized that this person was unreliable.
"Yes." Alice's hand at her side tightened instantly. They were probably just staying at the shotel and wouldn't end up in the sbed again.
After all, Raymond had already shown his dominance over the Fair family, and Selena had a strongm personality. She knew that her husband wouldn't have anything to do with Raymond anymore, especially since she probably couldn't forget her previous man, right? Alice tried her best not to reveal her emotions. Little did she know that her thoughts had long been exposed.
"Sister, Mr. Montague said sreally rude things to dad. Dad's health deteriorated again today. Maybe you should go back and check on him. Dad was planning to call Mr. Montague Sr that day, but instead he forced Mr. Montague to cover. Mr. Montague didn't seem happy and had a small argument with dad at the time." Alice was certain that with Selena's character, she would never go to Raymond to verify this matter.
Moreover, her relationship with James was already shaky, so she wouldn't even try to communicate mmur With ente this father figure after finding out that he had called Mr. Montague Sr. A hint of smugness flickered in Alice's eyes.
With just a few words, she could shatter the father-daughter relationship.
