LittleNovelChapter 1229 Infatuated Raymond John felt awful inside, so he kept his mouth shut.
"John, keep looking. Get everyone searching," Raymond ordered as he stood up from the couch, grabbing his crumpled coat.
"I'm going too." Manston Manor was nearly empty. Raymond had mobilized everyone he could, but they still couldn't find her. Why couldn't they find her? He was getting anxious.
He got into the car with John, leaning back and staring quietly out the window.
Manston Manor was still as grand as ever, but it was empty now, just a lifeless shell. Another day of searching yielded nothing.
Raymond didn't even know where to drive anymore. He thought Silver Bay City was his territory, that he could protect Selena, but she kept ending up in danger.
He slumped over the steering wheel, unsure of what to do next. He couldn't even remember how he used to live before Selena cinto his life.

His phone rang. It was Helen.
"Raymond, did you get the message I sent you?" Raymond communicated with the underground fight club through email to avoid exposing his identity as God.
He hadn't checked Helen's email.
"Later." He said just that and hung up, still slumped over the wheel, as if he'd lost the will to live.
Helen stared at her phone in shock, sensing something was wrong with Raymond.
At the very least, after finding out Tessa wasn't the Smith family's daughter, he should have said more.
But he seemed completely uninterested.
Helen didn't dare push further and decided to wait for him to reach out.
Two whole weeks passed.
Lawrence's branch company had been giving the Montague Group a hard time, with Christopher handling the negotiations. Raymond hadn't shown up at all.
Christopher quickly becthe center of attention.
He was present at various business meetings and social events, often seen drinking with industry insiders.
His frequent appearances contrasted sharply with Raymond's disappearance. People whispered.
"Has Raymond really given up on the Montague Group?" "That doesn't seem like him." "I don't think so. I think Selena's disappearance hit him hard. Who would have thought he'd change so much over a woman? In our circle, a lovesick fool like this is unheard of." Especially one who would abandon a multi-billion-dollar company for a woman. Raymond was setting a new precedent.
Eyes turned to Christopher.

At the last charity gala, he seemed close to Selena. Now that she was missing, he was everywhere. It m seemed he didn't care for her; he was just competing with Raymond. Christopher's alter ego sat among them, a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. In his mind, Christopher's voice kept asking.
"Have you found Selena?" "Have you found Selena?" Over and over, relentless.
Selena, Selena! Could the Montague brothers stop being so pathetic over a woman? He took a deep breath, ignoring the voice in his head.
After a while, Christopher's voice softly asked again, "Can you check on Raymond?" This time, Christopher's alter ego let out a derisive laugh.
The woman next to him was startled by his sudden change in demeanor. The gentle man now looked full of scorn.
She thought she had done something wrong and quickly sat back dowm Christopher's alter ego couldn't stand it any longer, fearing he might lose control because of Christopher.
He left the room, heading to the hallway bathroom, and punched the mirror. "Christopher shut up. Ae's1 your brother, not mine! I want Raymond dead. I want you both gone! The entire Montague family will be mine."
