    Rita’s face instantly turned as white as a sheet, as if she’d been pped in the face.


    “Mr. Raymond…”


    Butn didn’t even nce at her, and his gaze moved to the others.


    “You all should learn from this.”


    It was a public humiliation for Rita.


    “Mr. Raymond, I’m Ryan’s girlfriend, and we’ve been quite closetely, so…”


    Without saying another word,n promptly left.


    Jeff stayed behind to deliver a warning to the receptionists.


    “Spreading rumors can get you in legal trouble.”


    The receptionists nodded in fear.


    Then, someone carefully asked, “Mr. Raymond is leaving work se early today…


    It wasn’t even noon yet, not something a workaholic like him would usually do.


    By then,n was already in his car.


    Jeff took the driver’s seat, nced atn’s face in the rear–view mirror, and stayed silent. The whole


    journey was silent, with the car finally stoppingt Raymond Mansion. Selena Casson was currently


    residing there and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing him.


    “I thought you’d forgotten. I’m ready. Let’s go.”


    The sadness was evident on Selena’s face. Both of them seemed very solemn.


    After getting back in the car, they stopped at a cemetery on the outskirts.


    Jeff waited at the bottom of the hill, not going up.


    Selena ced the flowers in front of the tombstone, sighing deeply.

    n, I was wrong back then. If I had another chance…


    you used on my brother.”


    Selena’s face turned awkward, her fingers trembling at her side.


    “Why would I have to go through all this trouble if you guys behaved?”

    Selena was taken aback, unable to believe the cold words he’d just uttered. And they were standing in


    front of his tombstone.


    But alln did was nod at her and the tombstone before leaving.


    Selena stood there, feeling chilly.


    Eventually, she asked him, “When are you divorcing Maja? She’s not worthy of you, and I heard the


    Pennyfeather family is on the brink of bankruptcy.”


    He got into the car Jeff was driving at the bottom of the hill, leaving another car behind for Selena.


    Jeff knew that Mr. Raymond would be in a foul mood around this time of the year.


    Fitch was sitting in a private booth, pushing a ss of wine towards him.


    “I tried to find out about your brother’s girlfriend but didn’t seed. Seems your brother did a good job


    of protecting her. Maybe he didn’t use his real name when they were together.”


    “Why are you looking into this?


    All your brother’s information has been deleted. The mission he was on must have been confidential,


    and there are still people abroad looking for him. He might have indeed managed to smuggle out


    something important. That’s why they’re so keen on protecting him.”


    Fitch lightly clinked his ss withn’s.


    “Did you have another argument with Ms. Casson today?”

    Fitch’s shirt was unbuttoned rather tow, his gaze sharp. “She hasn’t changed over the years, always


    hoping you guys would marry women she approves of Seems she’s still hung up on your father’s first


    love, unable to move past that emotional baggage.”


    Some women are destined to be forever trapped in the trouble of love


    n, you probably agreed to Holden’s arrangement as a form of rebellion against Ms. Casson. She’s


    been wanting you to break up with Carlene, yet you married someone with an even worse background.


    During the years you were away from Greenfield, she must have vented all her anger on your wife.”


    Ian had noment to Fitch’s words until he mentioned “wife“, which made him frown.


    “Don’t refer to that woman as my wife“.”


    “You despise her this much? Was Holden’s judgment really that poor?”


    “Really poor.”
