PopularNovelChapter 962 Don't ProvokeMeanwhile, word was buzzing around that Elbert was about to take over as CEO of the Montague Group. Everyone was watching, totally stunned.
Folks Raymond's age were always told by their families to steer clear of him, 'cause everyone knew he played dirty in business.
So, how on earth could Elbert replace Raymond now? But that's what the Montague family was saying, and Raymond hadn't been seen in public for a while, caught up in sshady business.
Selena was in the company building, sitting across from a bunch of private detectives.
She wanted them to dig up dirt on Rachel and hand it over to the gossip reporters. With that kind of heat, Rachel would have no choice but to quit.
Plus, a bunch of top execs who were tight with Rachel were also tangled up in smessy stuff.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLarry was Rachel's right-hand guy, and the two were practically partners in crime.
But while Rachel had a thing for forcing men, Larry was always chasing after the company's actors.
If all these execs' dirty laundry got aired out, All Star Entertainment's rep would be trashed. To save face, they'd have to kick out these troublemakers.
Selena sent the detectives off, telling them to get solid video proof. When she got back to her office, Ann was waiting.
Ann said, "Ms. Fair, something's up with Mr. Montague. Heard from sfriends at the Montague Group that he got taken away." Selena was shocked, "By who?" Ann replied, "Seems like a special task force. They said Mr. Montague needs to help with an investigation, but no one knows what it's about. There's talk that the Montague Group is getting a new CEO." Selena quickly called Raymond, but he didn't pick up. So, she called John.
John laid it all out and finally sighed, "If Mr. Montague doesn't get out of this mess, Elbert's gonna be the new CEO of the Montague Group. Plus, the rest of the Montague family is blaming Mr. Montague for this whole thing. It's a real mess right now; the investigation's gonna take time, but his bet agreement with Vertex Automotive Group expires in five days. By then, he'll have to give up 20% of his shares automatically." Selena stood up, realizing just how high the stakes were.
John didn't spell it out, but Selena could guess: if Raymond lost his position, he might never get out of prison.
Elbert had the power to keep him locked up forever, or even make him disappear quietly.
With William missing and Raymond in deep trouble, Selena felt a wave of anxiety like never before.
After hanging up, she was at a loss.
Who had the clout to stand up to the Montague family? Who would dare to cross Elbert to help Raymond right now? She racked her brain. Finally, she pulled out her phone and called Paul.
Paul's voice was as cold as ever, "This has nothing to do with me. It's his own choice." Next, she called Alex.
Alex laughed, not hiding his disdain, "Selena, you think I'd team up with you now? What can you offer me? I've told you before, you're too weak. Being with him just makes things harder for him. You can't help him when it counts." He hung up.
Selena felt her own weakness. Even though she was working hard, managing the company, and making money, she still couldn't help Raymond now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNo matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get involved in Raymond's world.
The class difference was too big, a reality she hated to admit.
If it were a business issue, she might have sideas, but this was about the country and the factions within Silver Bay City. She was isolated and helpless, feeling utterly powerless. Just then, her phone rang. She saw the unfamiliar overseas number and didn't want to answer. She knew who it was.
It wasn't until the third call that she finally picked up.
Tessa's voice was smug, "Selena, I won't only I can help Raymond. You better leave him, or I won't lift a finger this time. Think it over. You need to recognize your own strength. The gap between you and him is like night.
and day."
Tessa continued, "By the way, I'm coming to Silver Bay City. Richard is still there. Remember what you o'm promised him last tif you break NO your promise, Lawrence will cafter you. Those Hollywood spots were arranged by Lawrence. If he steps in, Austin will be out, and the footage will be invalidated. Those spots will be taken back." Tessa added, "Don't mess with me. You can't handle the consequences."
