Chapter 722 How Dare They Plot Against Her? The servants kept their mouths shut, thinking Raymond and Penny had a falling out. Raymond walked back to the bedroom, catching a whiff of a familiar scent.
He lifted the blanket and found a long hair on the pillow, about shoulder-length.
He knew right away it was Penny's.
He frowned, rubbing his forehead, trying to remember his recent interactions with her.
His head wasn't hurting anymore, but his memory was still fuzzy.
He pulled out his phone and called Selena again.
Selena was swamped with work these days.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mr. Montague." "Penny, wanna grab dinner tonight?" "Can't do tonight." "How about tomorrow?" "Busy tomorrow too." Raymond paused, then asked, "What's keeping you so busy?" "Mr. Montague, I'm really tied up. Let's chat later." "But..." The call ended.
Raymond felt a mix of anger and helplessness.
Maybe she was still mad about him missing their Christmas date last night.
He instinctively reached for his wrist, only to realize the agarwood bracelet was gone. He started searching the room.
The bracelet couldn't get wet, so he might've taken it off while bathing.
But he searched everywhere and even asked the servants, but no one had seen it.
Raymond called John, "John, have you seen the agarwood bracelet Penny gave me?" John remembered the bracelet and said, "Mr. Montague, I don't think I've seen it since you got out of the hospital after your head injury." 'Could it be at the hospital?' Raymond thought and called them, but they hadn't seen it.
His face turned cold. That was the first gift Penny gave him. If it was lost, their misunderstanding might get worse.
'But where could it be? Does Selena know?' Raymond called Selena again.
Selena, already busy, was annoyed by his calls. "Mr. Montague." "Penny, have you seen my bracelet?" Raymond asked.
"What bracelet?" Selena didn't get it right away.
Hearing her response, Raymond hung up the phone, frustrated.
Selena looked at her phone, wondering if Raymond had lost it.
She took a deep breath and continued directing Ann beside her. "What did All Star Entertainment say?" "All Star Entertainment has already manipulated public opinion. Now the comments are overwhelmingly against us, saying we're causing trouble. They also threatened to sue us for plagiarizing their script, and it's all over the news." All major news apps were buzzing with the dispute between the two companies.
This was exactly what Selena wanted. Seeing Ann's gloomy face, she knew Ann was bothered by the comments. "Ignore the comments," Selena said. "At four this afternoon, release the screenshots of your chats with Rachel from back then, along with the copyright registration dates we applied for." The comments would get even juicier then.
Ann took a deep breath and replied, "Got it." Selena's lack of response made Rachel think she was scared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRachel had vowed to make S.M Corporation disappear. Who did Selena think she was to outsmart her? But then she thought of Austin, who appeared in those five episodes, and her anger flared.
She hadn't expected Austin to join Selena. With old and new grudges combined, she wanted to take Selena down.
But Rachel hadn't forgotten that when she captured Austin, it was called and Raymond who wasn asked her to release him. So did Raymond care about Selena or not? Rachel was unsure, given all the industry rumors.
She immediately contacted Catherine to inquire about Raymond and Selena's relationship.
Hearing the name, Catherine was instantly furious. "That bitch will never enter the Montague family My son has nothing to do with her! If she keeps using the Montague nto deceive people, I won't let her off next time!" Seeing how much Raymond's mom Catherine despised Selena, Rachel was delighted. Now she could freely go after Selena.
She called her assistant. "Keep manipulating public opinion. Make this issue as big as possible. Even bring up the student who committed suicide before, and let everyone know that the script was written by that deceased student." If the public found out that S.M Corporation was trying to plagiarize a dead person's work, the company would be doomed.
