Chapter 1052 Her Pain Is His Pain Raymond scowled and flicked away his cigarette. "Didn't Kyle say Selena was Delia's kid from an affair?" Paul shuffled through the papers in front of him, uncovering an even nastier secret.
"Maybe," Paul said. "Delia used to be a hooker in Ridgefield. Security was crap back then. Kyle was a lowlife who did tfor raping his neighbor's daughter. When he got out, he married Delia, who had quit hooking. Kyle's got a crippled brother. He caught Delia messing around with his brother, and when the baby came, he thought it might be his brother's kid. So, he sold her. The hospital records are under his brother's name." This truth was even more humiliating. Her mom had an affair with her husband's brother, a poor, morally bankrupt cripple, which led to her birth.
Paul went on, "Raymond, I've had Kyle and Delia questioned. This is what we found out. I've always had people in Ridgefield. This is a messy situation. Now, almost all of Delia and Kyle's dirt has been dug up. Ever since that Ridgefield building incident, many families have sent people there, worried something might happen without them knowing."

Raymond didn't light his second cigarette, just held it in his mouth. After hanging up, he put down the cigarette and went back upstairs.
Selena was awake, standing on the balcony, lost in thought.
Raymond walked up behind her and saw she was holding a glass of water, probably woken up by thirst. Raymond said gently, "Selena, go back to sleep." Hearing his voice, Selena put down the glass of water. "Sorry, I've been really busy lately. The company has neededconstantly, and tonight, Sophia was in the hospital." Selena raised her hand to rub her brow. "Her fans went crazy." Raymond didn't say anything. After a minute, he slowly walked over and hugged her. "Go to sleep." Selena looked up at him and nodded.
An hour later, Raymond heard a sob beside him.
He stiffened and held her, hearing her murmur, "Mom." Raymond quickly got up and felt her forehead. She had a fever.
He had sensed something was wrong when she was spacing out on the balcony.
To outsiders, Selena seemed very strong. Even if she was embarrassed at the party tonight, so what? She never really cared about others' opinions.
But Raymond knew at that moment, only Barbara was the person Selena respected the most.
When her biological parents appeared, all her past missing for Barbara would cback a hundredfold.

Selena felt like she was burning all night. When she woke up, her vision was blurry. She heard Raymond talking to someone nearby.
Raymond said, "Keep an eye on this project. Are the people I sent over helping you well?" Ronald replied, "Yes, thanks to Mr. Montague, everyone feels a bit more relaxed lately."
Selena frowned in her daze, 'Wasn't I at Manston Manor before, Kfell m asleep? Why's Ronald here?'
Raymond's voice sounded again, "These are the documents for the next week bet her rest and don't disturb her." "Understood." Ronald respected Raymond a lot and left with a pile of documents.
