Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 124 Swearing without being vulgar
Do anything for him? Available at his beck and call? Deliver three meals a day to the Montague family?
No matter who it is, Raymond isn't very interested.
But he caught a glimpse of the slight embarrassment on her cheeks and knew that she was doing it to compensate. Seeing Selena in such a humiliated state, Jacob at the door couldn't bear it. Selena is a top student, a prestigious graduate of Harvard University. Even if this man is wealthy, he shouldn't insult her like this, right?
"Selena, what are you doing? You, a graduate from a top brand-name university, are going to work as a nanny for someone?"
Upon hearing Jacob's foolish words, Selena tightened her lips. Raymond didn't know what Jacob, who was furious was saying but he understood the word insult clearly.
Originally, he wasn't interested in Selena's proposal, but now that he heard Jacob's words, he casually turned his injured wrist.
"You should know which hotel I'm staying at."
After all, they had met at the hotel before. Selena remembered the embarrassment at the hotel back then, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
Now thinking back to that situation, she wished she could replace a hole to crawl into. She didn't dare to look at Raymond and instead lowered her head slightly.
"Okay."
"No need to bring me to the Montague family. Be at the hotel sharp at nine in the evening."
Selena was actually a bit puzzled. He had been staying at Ashbourne Manor recently, but now he wanted to stay at a hotel again to prevent Grandfather Fu from conducting surprise inspections. But she didn't have the position to ask, so she could only nod.
"Understood, Mr. Montague."
Jacob gritted his teeth and pulled Selena behind him, looking straight at Raymond.
But because Raymond was 1.87 meters tall and Jacob was only 1.8 meters, he had to slightly tilt his head up to look at him, so he was already at a disadvantage.
"I'm telling you, no matter which company's CEO you are, you can't bully Selena like this. She is the most promising person in our family. When she got into Harvard University back then, we even set off firecrackers in our county." As Jacob said this, he arrogantly tilted his head, as if those firecrackers were set off for him.
"You probably don't know, but I've seen plenty of wealthy people like you. They just go abroad to get a master's degree, and when they come back, they call themselves 'sea turtles.' Haha, not like Selena, who earned her way step by step. She was the only one who got into the New York Academy of Fine Arts back then."
While listening to Jacob's words, Selena had been tugging at his sleeve, feeling extremely embarrassed. Raymond raised an eyebrow slightly, knowing that Jacob's words probably weren't kind, and he also had a smug expression at the moment, so he shifted his gaze to Jacob.
"And you are?"
Jacob proudly tilted his head up, enunciating the words clearly.
"I'm her cousin."
Jacob was too proud, holding his head high, but he did pronounce the five characters clearly.
"Oh, how suitable."
At that moment, Selena also felt that Raymond's cursing was really clean. This was referring to how Jacob's mindset and Megan's sarcastic appearance were a perfect match. She pulled Jacob back and looked at Raymond with a calm demeanor. "Mr. Montague, I will return the money to you within a week. Since you can't drive, shall I take you back?"
"Mhmm."
After saying these words, Raymond walked out first.
The well-tailored suit emphasized his entire presence, even though he had just been in a small fight, it didn't diminish his nobleness.
Jacob muttered a few words behind, but he didn't dare to leave Selena alone, so he could only follow behind the two of them with a miserable expression.
They arrived at Raymond's car and Jacob's eyes widened instantly when he saw the Rolls-Royce worth tens of millions. His mouth also opened widely, uncontrollably grabbing onto Selena's shoulder. "Rolls-Royce?"
Selena slapped his hand away. "Wait for me at the toll booth on the expressway in Beijing. I have to go to Ridgefield tonight, if you still care about Uncle's life and death."
Jacob instantly fell silent, weakly releasing her shoulder. Selena got in the car and noticed that John was already not there, so she took on the role of the driver.
Almost subconsciously, she drove towards Ashbourne Manor, and Raymond, seeing the familiar street view, furrowed his brows lightly.
"How did you know I was staying here tonight?"
Selena's heart skipped a beat, and her hands became sweaty. She remembered that this was the road to Ashbourne Manor because she knew Raymond lived there, so she instinctively drove there.
