Chapter 801 I Gave Up for the One I Like Raymond kept his cool, touching his cheek like it was no big deal. "If Christopher knew I bailed for someone I liked, he'd probably be stoked." Grace was at a loss for words. She opened her mouth but nothing cout.

The Montague family wasn't exactly known for deep love. I mean, look at Elbert and Greer-they had side chicks all over the place.

No one thought Raymond would go this far for Selena.

Raymond glanced around at the crowd. "I'll have John sort out the share transfer docs. Hitup once the rescue's done." And with that, he turned to leave.

Grace couldn't help but blurt out, "Raymond, that's your mom in there. You don't wanna stick around a bit longer?" "My being here won't change the rescue," Raymond shot back.

Grace felt a chill. She realized she didn't really get Raymond at all.

He seemed cold, yet he ran the Montague family like a boss.

But he was missing the usual human stuff family love, romantic love, all that jazz.

Yet here he was, making a big sacrifice for Selena. Did he even get what that meant? Maybe he liked her, maybe even loved her.

Raymond was already out of the hospital. He wasn't sure if it was love; he just didn't want Selena to get judged by these folks.

When he got in the car, he didn't head to the police station.

'Let her sweat it out a bit; it'll do her good,' Raymond thought.

Lock her up for a few days, then let her out; maybe she'd be more grateful.

This was his go-to move in business-dragging out promotions to build loyalty. Driving back to the Montague Group, he was surprised at how chill he felt. But then he noticed his white-knuckled grip on the steering wheel.

Guess he wasn't that calm after all.

Selena was a tough nut. If he bailed her out now, she'd probably just blow him off.

He had to wait until she was really desperate to make his move.

For now, he'd calmed the Montague family down, and no one would hassle her at the police station. She'd just face squestions and a bit of stress.

To keep himself from heading to the police station, Raymond packed his schedule with back-to-back meetings, each dragging on for about three hours.

Meanwhile, Selena was stuck in the police station, the bright lights keeping her wide awake, feeling like she was trapped in a nightmare.

"Why'd you go after Catherine? Got any beef with her?" "Think hard before you answer. Every word you say can and will be used against you in court." Selena squinted, trying to make out the face of the person grilling her.

But everything was a blur.

After four grueling hours of questioning, they finally moved her to a tiny room.

At least it wasn't pitch black. There was a narrow bed where she could crash.

She plopped down on the bed, replaying the day's events in her head.

Jacob's jump, Mia's setup, and now this mess.

Leaning against the wall, she tried to Q piece together everything that went down at Montague Manor, but the more she thought about it, the heavier her heart felt. Mia had set her up good-no cameras, no witnesses. The Montague family would definitely pin it all on her.

She was fuming, partly because of Jacob's death and partly because she was being framed.

Around eight in the evening, Ann and Ronald showed up. They'd somehow caught wind of what happened.

Ann had been down lately but hadn't shed many tears. Seeing Selenam through the glass how, she couldn't hold back and started crying. "Ms. Fair, what do we do? Should we get a lawyer?" Ann asked, her voice shaky.

Ronald adjusted his glasses. "I heard Catherine's still in critical condition. She might end up in a coma." Selena pressed her lips together, thinking hard. After a long pause, she told them, "Go to Sky Gallery and find Richard." She couldn't clear her nalone; she needed outside help.

The Smith family was top-tier in Vistalia and had connections in Silver Bay City. Richard might have a way.

She gave them more instructions.

"And don't stress too much. Keep the company running. Our first made bank, and there's more money coming in. Start investing in Alex's movie and prep for the second web . The female lead will probably be Sophia. Cast the other roles, and when I get out, I'll finalize Sophia. Even now, her main worry was work, not whether she'd get out.
