FreeGoodNovelChapter 752 The Angry Raymond So, it was evening, and Richard got a call from a buddy asking him to hit the bar. But, he was all worried about Selena and bombarded her with a bunch of instructions.
"Look, you gotta chill here and get better first. Catherine's not gonna let you off easy. You better cup with a plan, or she'll drag you back once you leave," Richard said. Selena on her own? No way she could take on the Montague family.
When Richard rolled up to the bar, guess who was there? Raymond.
He raised an eyebrow and plopped down next to Caterlington.
Caterlington had hit up Selena earlier, and she spilled the beans, saying she was crashing at Richard's place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo, when Caterlington saw Richard, he got all snarky. "Mr. Smith, I don't know what kind of sweet talk you fed Penny, but she actually agreed to stay at your villa." Caterlington was trying to mess with Raymond and feel out Richard's vibe at the stime.
Caterlington's love life was even messier than Richard's. He didn't care if a chick was a virgin; he had plenty of flings himself. Asking others to be pure would be straight-up hypocritical. What he dug about Selena were her qualities and vibe.
Raymond wasn't even into this whole gathering thing, but when he heard Caterlington's jab, his eyes locked onto Richard.
Richard didn't need to think twice to figure out Caterlington's game. Sneaky. But he wasn't sweating it; he was planning to tick off Raymond anyway.
"You called it sweet talk, so yeah, I said stuff she wanted to hear," Richard shot back.
Seeing Richard's smug grin, Caterlington got even more ticked off. "She's been at your place for two days now, and you haven't brought her out. What, you planning to keep her hidden?" Richard sipped his drink, a smirk playing on his lips. "I haven't locked her up. She can leave whenever she wants, but right now, she doesn't want to." The place had gone quiet. Everyone knew about the between Penny and Raymond. Hearing Richard and Caterlington's open chat, they knew tonight was gonna be wild. Raymond's eyes were glued to Richard, cold and sharp, but Richard acted like he didn't notice.
To everyone else, Raymond looked chill, but inside, he was a mess.
He downed his drink, feeling the burn from his mouth to his throat.
Alex, sitting next to Raymond, freaked out and slammed his hand on the table, cursing, "Dude, that's straight-up distilled alcohol! Who the hell told you to chug it?" A sip of that stuff could knock someone out cold, and a whole glass? Hello, alcohol poisoning. It was meant to be mixed, not downed like a shot.
Raymond finally realized he had grabbed the wrong glass, taking a swig of the hardcore stuff meant for mixing. No wonder his chest felt like it was on fire.
Meanwhile, Caterlington and Richard kept chatting, each word making Raymond more and more pissed.
"Mr. Smith, you're not playing with Penny's feelings, are you? She can't handle that kind of crap," Caterlington said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRichard shot back, "Why do you think that?" Caterlington replied, "She had a messed-up marriage and probably doesn't trust guys anymore. So don't get too comfy; Penny's gonna leave you sooner or later." Richard went quiet, then sighed, "Yeah, seeing her lying in bed is heartbreaking." He wasn't trying to be dirty; he was just stating a fact. Seeing Selena bedridden these past few days hit him hard every time.
But to everyone else, his words sounded way more suggestive.
As soon as Richard finished talking, Raymond shot up and grabbed his collar. "Did you sleep with her?"
One guy was from the elite Smith family in Vistalia, and the other from the top-tier Montague family in Silver Bay City. No one wanted to mess with either of them. Almost everyone stood up and backed away. Only Alex and Caterlington stayed put. Richard sat on the sofa, keeping his cool even with Raymond gripping his collar.
"Let go," Richard said, seething inside just thinking about what the Montague family had done.
If he hadn't taken Selena away that day, who knows what could've happened to her. And now Raymond was acting all concerned?
Alex was sweating bullets, knowing that if these two really went at it, the whole social scene in Silver Bay City belrockscene in would be rocked. The Smith family was a big deal in Vistalia. If they becenemies, it would be chaos. "Raymond, chill out," Alex said.. But before he could finish, Raymond clocked Richard, making his head snap to the side, blood trickling from his mouth.
"Are you freaking kidding me, Raymond? You hit me?!" Richard who had been pampered his whole life, had never been punched like that. He kicked Raymond in the gut. Both of them lost it, and drinks went flying everywhere.
