FreeGoodNovelChapter 657 Behind is an Abyss of Darkness Selena didn't want to talk about Raymond, but she had to admit it.
"Mr. Montague said he got tired of me, so I had no choice but to find another way to make a living." She spoke so gracefully about being discarded.
Richard's brow furrowed. For sreason, hearing this made him uncomfortable.
Even though he was a playboy, too, he felt Selena shouldn't be the one getting dumped. She seemed more like the one who'd do the dumping. "Don't be sad. There are plenty of other guys besides Raymond." But Richard's older brother had warned him not to make an enemy of Raymond.
"When Raymond was in Vistalia, he spent all his ton Wealth Light Valley Street studying data. The people there are very exclusive and didn't like a young guy barging in. I heard they threw him into an underground fighting ring." Selena's heart tightened. She'd never seen an underground fighting ring, but she knew it must be twisted if it was a rich man's toy.
She waited for Richard to continue, but he stopped and looked at her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mr. Smith, and then? How did he get out?" Selena asked.
Richard smiled and tapped his fingers on the window frame.
"You know places like Vistalia don't ban guns, right? Even the government can't control these people. Whoever has money is the boss. Raymond quickly amassed wealth there, and now the entire underground fighting ring is his territory. Seems he gambled his life to get it." Selena's grip on the steering wheel tightened. She could hardly believe it.
She knew Raymond was a bit crazy, but she didn't expect him to go to such lengths.
Richard's tone was attractive to women. When he looked at people, his eyes always had a teasing glint.
"The daily turnover of the underground fighting ring is terrifying. Later, he returned to Wealth Light Valley Street and used that money to plan the biggest acquisition. I heard a lot of people jumped off buildings because of it a few years ago." Truly powerful people don't break the law; they exploit its loopholes.
Just like when they were in Ridgefield, Raymond had told Selena that sometimes the information gap is also a resource.
Richard propped his head with one hand, a smile playing on his lips.
"It's a positive outcthat you two separated amicably. He doesn't strikeas someone who easily falls in love." Selena didn't say anything. She had learned enough about Raymond recently.
The more she understood Raymond, the more she felt there was an unfathomable darkness behind him.
The car stopped in front of a five-story villa, the iron gate slowly opened, and someone cout to greet them. Selena wasn't the main guest today, so she followed behind Richard.
The person who cto greet them was very polite to Richard; after all, the Smith family was a top-tier family in Vistalia.
Entering the hall, Selena immediately saw a man in his fifties sitting in the center, and next to him was Raymond.
Raymond was sitting closest to the large chandelier, the cold white light making him look very pale.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMaybe the indoor lighting was too dazzling, so when he looked at people, it always seemed like beams of light were shooting out like golden threads. Apparently, Raymond and Richard had the splan.
Bryan was smiling and saying something to Raymond, who had no expression. When he turned his head, he saw Selena and Richard coming in.
For sreason, Raymond found this scene very irritating.
Bryan quickly stood up and went to greet them.
"Mr. Smith, long tno see." "Mr. Ward, it's been a while." Bryan's gaze turned to Selena and asked, "And who is this?" "She's a friend of mine from Silver Bay City." "Great, con in. I'll have someone bring you coffee."
Selena had heard of Bryan. His classes at Silver Bay Film Academy were very popular, and students m scrambled to attend If a student's seript caught his eye, he would help connect them with investors, so Bryan had a great reputation.
Selena's seat was right next to Raymond, making her feel a bit uneasy. Raymond's eyes also landed on her, prompting her to address him, "Mr. Montague." He didn't respond at all, giving her no face.
Selena didn't feel awkward; after all, it wasn't the first the had done this.
But she still cursed him in her heart, 'Bastard.'
Selena only cursed him in her heart once, then she focused on listening to Richard and Bryan's conversation.
Richard was the heir of Vistalia's largest film company, and Bryan was O a renowned artist in the domestic seript industry. Their conversation could very well set the future trends of the film industry.
