Chapter 137 Thank You, Mr. Montague
"William, I'm doing fine with Raymond, no need to worry," Selena said gently as she handed him a glass of water. "Honestly, you should be more concerned about your own health."
William's cheeks turned rosy, and he couldn't help but smile.
He thought Raymond was clueless, but it turned out the guy had good taste. No wonder he said he was working hard; he had already hooked up with Selena.
Seeing how close Raymond and Selena were, William realized his little test was pointless.
He happily took a sip of water and said with a smile, "Selena, if anyone messes with you, don't hold back. If you can't handle it, let Raymond deal with it."
Selena didn't want to dwell on the topic, afraid she might slip up, so she changed the subject.
An hour later, Selena got up to make some soup.
"Selena, let Fiona handle this. Why are you doing it yourself?" William asked.
"William, I promised Raymond," Selena replied firmly.
William laughed even harder and said he was leaving, not waiting for Raymond to come back.
Selena saw William to the door. She stood there, lost in thought after his car drove away.
Fiona was beside her, sighing softly.
Selena was grateful Fiona didn't say anything inappropriate in front of William, but she knew Fiona was worried about his health.
On his way back, William called Raymond and kept praising him.
Raymond was in a meeting, his brow furrowed.
Just like last time, the praise seemed out of the blue. Last time, Raymond had completed a big acquisition, but recently, the Montague Group had been running smoothly. Why was William suddenly so excited?
"Raymond, I'm heading back now, I won't disturb you. But remember, don't be so busy with work that you neglect Selena's feelings. Selena likes you; otherwise, she wouldn't have slept with you," William said with a laugh. "Good job."
Raymond's face immediately darkened. What had Selena said to William?
What did he mean by "slept with you"?
He hadn't even touched Selena.
But considering William's health, Raymond just pressed his lips together coldly.
After hanging up, he felt a wave of irritation.
Meanwhile, Selena had made soup for Raymond and left the rest to Fiona. She had to deal with the $8 million issue immediately, and the only one who could help her now was Shelley.
She arranged to meet Shelley at a bar, and at six in the evening, she went there.
Selena usually didn't ask people for money, so she hesitated a bit.
Shelley didn't expect Selena to ask her for money, let alone $8 million, and couldn't help but complain, "I have to say, being Mrs. Montague is really tough. What kind of car costs you $8 million? If Raymond is so unfeeling, why don't you just tell him your true identity?"
"No, if I do that, he'll just think I approached him with ulterior motives," Selena replied.
At first, she just wanted to end the marriage quickly. After all, when she woke up in bed, Raymond had already mentioned the divorce agreement. She thought they could divorce quickly, so she didn't think much of it.
Now that the divorce was being delayed, it had become very difficult to come clean.
"Selena, it's not that I don't want to lend you the money. I just think that after three years of marriage into the Montague Family, you have too little power. And you haven't even asked Raymond; how do you know he wouldn't lend it to you?"
Shelley had always been straightforward, and she had no idea that Selena's guilt was also because they had slept together.
Shelley directly took Selena's phone and sent a message to Raymond.
Selena: [Loan me $8 million.]
Selena couldn't stop her in time.
Unexpectedly, Raymond replied quickly.
Raymond: [Account number.]
Shelley raised an eyebrow and copied and pasted Selena's account number.
In less than ten minutes, $8 million was in the account, so fast it felt like a hallucination.
Shelley handed the phone back, puzzled. "Didn't you get the money quickly? What are you hesitating about?"
Just as she finished speaking, Raymond sent another message.
Raymond: [Other than this, don't bother me. Know your place.]
Selena took the phone and saw that Shelley had used her personal number to send the message.
So Raymond knew it was his nominal wife asking for the money.
Raymond didn't even bother to ask what Selena needed the money for. After all, the Fair Family had latched onto the Montague Family for money, right?
In his view, anything that could be solved with money was a small matter, especially just $8 million.
Understanding this, Selena replied straightforwardly.
Selena: [Thank you, Mr. Montague.]
