FreeGoodNovelChapter 1085 No More Pretending to Be Good? The funeral for William was grand. Given William's special status, many high-ranking officials attended, so it couldn't be handled discreetly.
On the day of William's memorial service, Raymond did not attend. Government officials of high standing arrived one after another, and cars with flags were parked at the entrance. Besides these people, there were also business moguls who had close ties with the Montague family.
Someone exchanged a few pleasantries with the Montague family members and then asked where Raymond was, but no one knew his whereabouts.
William's memorial service caused quite a stir within the circle, but the news did not spread outside.
However, anyone who was keen on finding out would certainly know that William of the Montague family had passed away.
Selena was still trapped in this small room when she suddenly heard footsteps outside.

The gentle man usually knocked, but the other one always opened the door directly.
So she could already tell who was coming in by the way the door was opened.
The footsteps halted, and Christopher's alter ego entered the room, clutching several bottles of alcohol, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at her.
Selena instinctively recoiled, her brow knitting in concern.
In the next moment, Christopher's alter ego approached her, producing two small glasses he had prepared, and set them in front of her, pouring himself two drinks. "Selena, drink with me," he demanded. Selena remained still, her gaze steady and unyielding.
Christopher's alter ego downed three glasses in rapid succession, then abruptly grabbed her chin, forcing the glass to her lips and pouring the high-proof alcohol into her mouth. Selena sputtered and coughed violently; such forced drinking could be dangerous.
Fortunately, he only poured a small amount, then continued drinking one glass after another himself.
Selena didn't intervene; she knew her chance would conly when Christopher's alter ego was thoroughly drunk.
Christopher's alter ego drank ten glasses in quick succession before looking at her with slightly tipsy eyes. "Selena, you actually fit my aesthetic." After saying this, he propped his chin on his hand and stared at her.
Selena felt offended, but after a few days of interaction, she had a rough understanding of Christopher's alter ego's temperament.
He was willful, erratic, and selfish.
Christopher's alter ego pushed another glass of alcohol in front of her. "Drink it." Selena looked at the alcohol in the glass, made sure she wouldn't get drunk, and then slowly picked it up and drank it all in one go.
She did this to make Christopher's alter ego drink more, so she could find an opportunity to escape. Sure enough, Christopher's alter ego raised an eyebrow and poured himself several more glasses.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a long while, he said softly, "Do you know that Mr. William Montague has passed away?" Selena thought she was hearing things and looked up in disbelief.
Christopher's alter ego's lips curled up as he saw tears welling up in her eyes. "Today is his memorial service. Many people in Silver Bay City have e turned out, but Raymond didn't show up. He's probably hiding somewhere. He grew up with his grandpa, and now that his grandpa is dead, he must be the one suffering the most. Plus, with you here with me, don't you think he's quite pitiful?" Selena grabbed the glass of wine beside her and threw it in his face.
Christopher's alter ego calmly took out a handkerchief, wiping the liquid off as he glared at her.
Selena stood up and tried to run towards the door, but he grabbed her wrist. "Mentioning Raymond struck a nerve, didn't it? So, you're done pretending to be obedient, huh?" Selena ran a few steps before her wrist started to hurt, and she began to feel dizzy.
She glanced back at him, but her vision blurred as multiple figures other appeared in front of her. Everything seemed to float, and she suddenly collapsed to the ground, shaking her head, but the scene continued to sway. "What did you put in the drink?" Selena demanded. "Yes, just like what you thought. So you planned to escape after I got drunk, didn't you?" His lips curled up as he looked at her sitting on the ground and sighed slightly.
"If you were a bit more obedient, I wouldn't resort to this trick.
Tomorrow morning's flight, I'm taking you abroad. By then R ad. By theny Raymond should be at the funeral hm collecting William's ashes, and he won't have tto track you down.
Plus, William's dying wish must have been for him not to be with you. Selena, you've been abandoned," he added.
