Chapter 99 Intercepting the Fair family’s project

Raymond’s eyes were filled with intense sarcasm, and his lips tightened with coldness.

“Grandfather, did she say it herself?”

“Yes, Selena is quite understanding.”

Mia handed over the medicine, wanting to say more. What does it mean that she is understanding? In all of New York, who wouldn’t want to have a child with my cousin?

That woman is truly calculating to talk to grandfather like that. Considering the old man’s condition, my cousin will definitely agree, even if it’s just in words. She’ll have to wait and see in two days how thick-skinned that woman really is to say something like that!

But when Mia met Raymond’s gaze, she had no choice but to shut her mouth.

Raymond pushed the medicine towards the old man, “Grandfather, I will do my best.”

The response was the same as before, but whether or not he actually put in effort, Mr. Montague Sr didn’t know, so he raised his chin.

“I will go to Ashbourne Manor tonight to see if you have truly been working hard as you claim.”

Mr. Montague Sr thought that Raymond would be flustered, but he calmly lowered his eyes, “Hmm, go ahead.”

With his current physical condition, Mr. Montague Sr didn’t have the energy to go out anymore. Saying this was just a test for Raymond.

Seeing that Raymond showed no signs of fear, he believed his words.

“In the past three years, you neglected Selena. Selena has never said anything negative about you in front of me, but she must have been deeply hurt by your actions.”

“Okay, now, with Mia’s birthday party, it’s a good opportunity to formally introduce her to others. Your wedding was rushed back then, and many people in our circle don’t know what she looks like. In the future, Selena will definitely be bullied when she goes out.”

Mr. Montague Sr. has been doing his best for Selena. A hint of annoyance crossed Raymond’s face, but he couldn’t refute the old man’s intention. Anyway, it’s just a name, and she has been using that name to her advantage in recent years.

“As long as grandfather is satisfied, the most important thing now is your health.”

“Did you go see James today?”

“I will go later.”

This time, the old man had nothing to say. Raymond’s face turned cold when he left the old

house.

“John, check whether the Fair family has any major projects recently and intercept them.”

John was taken aback, The Montague family intercepting the Fair family’s business. Did the Fair family do something to provoke the president, he wondered. He had doubts in his heart but didn’t dare to ask too much.

The Fair family did have a project recently but for the Montague family, these projects were too small. They were only worth two hundred million, while the projects the Montague family handled were mostly over a billion!

However, these two hundred million projects were important to the Fair family. If someone intercepts them, the Fair family would certainly suffer massive losses.

“Alright, I’ll send someone to do it right away.”

Raymond’s face was icy and he calmly looked at the street scene outside. He didn’t like cunning women who thought they could control him just because they had influenced the old man. They were completely mistaken. For her cunning, there had to be some consequences.

“Also when you go to see James later remind him not to let his daughter do anything

unnecessary.”

John nodded, indicating that he understood, only then did Raymond feel a sense of relief. Meanwhile, Selena was blissfully still unaware of all this.

This morning, she had already sent the construction drawings to the renovation team she had previously worked with, but she had been receiving no response from them, so she decided to personally visit the company where the renovation team was located.

Twenty kilometers away from Ashbourne Manor, Selena arrived at the office building around noon. The receptionist tried to stop her as soon as she saw her.

“Hello, please show me your appointment.”

Selena had been here before. The owner of this company is Mr. Wright, and they had collaborated

multiple times before, this was not her first time coming here, after all when she cooperated before she often came here to coordinate details with the team.

This time however she was stopped by someone.

“I’m looking for Mr. Wright.”

“Sorry, Mr. Wright is on a business trip today and probably won’t be back until next week.

This was clearly an excuse, the receptionist clearly knows her and deliberately stopped her.

Mr. Wright doesn’t answer the phone, and the receptionist informs her that he is on a business trip. Selena suspected that Mr. Wright is probably still in the company, but for some reason, doesn’t want to see her.

A smile appears on her face, her lips curl up. “Alright, I understand. I’ll come back later.”

The receptionist let out a sigh of relief and made an internal call after Selena left.

“Mr. Wright, the young lady has been to the company but I managed to stop her, however she said she will come back later.”

Mr. Wright nodded to himself at this information. After hanging up the phone he made a call to Mr. Rowe Price.

“Mr. Walsh, congratulations on your promotion this time, I did it as you said, and look at the contract with our company…”

Caterlington chuckled lightly, twirling the pen between his fingertips.
