Chapter 1070 He Might Have Kissed Tessa The atmosphere in the hallway suddenly bectense.
Selena stood at the door, puzzled for a moment, unable to understand why Raymond was holding Tessa. And from the looks of it, if they hadn't interrupted, Raymond might have kissed Tessa. Raymond sobered up the moment he heard the door open.
He immediately pushed Tessa away with such force that she couldn't keep her balance and fell to the ground. Lawrence strode over and punched Raymond in the chest.
Raymond couldn't dodge in tand stumbled back several steps.
Lawrence's face was icy as he crouched down to help Tessa up, his tone gentle. "Tessa, are you okay?" Tessa's eyes were red as she nestled into his arms. "Lawrence, my chest hurts. I..." As she spoke, Tessa started to gasp for breath, her cheeks turning red.
Lawrence quickly searched Tessa's body, found her medication, and gave it to her.

Tessa's appearance clearly showed she had been wronged by him.
Just a moment ago, the atmosphere between Raymond and Tessa had been tense and ambiguous.
Lawrence had thought it was just Tessa's one-sided affection and had cto persuade her, only to find out that Raymond was stringing both Tessa and Selena along.
As the daughter of the Smith family, why should she be humiliated by Raymond like this! "Raymond, I don't care if you toy with other women, but if you mess with Tessa, I won't let you off," Lawrence said angrily.
Raymond's head still ached, especially as he tried to resist the chaos, which only intensified the pain.
It felt like something was desperately tugging at his mind.
Cold sweat broke out on Raymond's back, and he could barely hear what Lawrence was saying. Lawrence carefully supported Tessa, his tone growing even colder. "Besides, don't you already have another woman to toy with? Tessa is different from her." From the moment he appeared until now, Lawrence, who had never said a harsh word to Selena, didn't hesitate to humiliate her at this moment. Selena stood motionless at the door, feeling a sharp pain in her chest.
Lawrence helped Tessa back to her room, while Raymond leaned against the wall, hoping the cold surface would help clear his mind for a moment.
Now only Raymond and Selena were left. At this moment, Alex stepped out of the elevator, breaking the silence. Alex, being very perceptive, immediately sensed something was wrong and asked, "What are you two doing here?" Raymond had his back to Selena, and Selena couldn't see his expression, nor did he offer any explanation. Feeling exhausted after the phone call she had received, Selena said in a flat tone, "Raymond, you should stay in another room tonight." With that, Selena closed the door.
Alex had only meant to tease Raymond and Selena, but he didn't expect them to actually be arguing.
When Selena closed the door, he looked at Raymond in surprise. "What's going on with you two?" Raymond lowered his head, and large beads of cold sweat dripped onto the floor.
Alex quickly supported him. "Is it your stomach again? I'll let Selena know." "No need," Raymond said.
He was eager to find a place to rest and didn't have the energy to explain what had just happened; he just wanted to take a bath.

Alex knew Raymond had a cleanliness obsession and wouldn't want to use someone else's bathtub, sp. he opened another room. "This room has all new stuff, always kept ready for you." It turned out this resort was owned by Raymond himself. Their group of friends were the most frequent visitors.
After getting into the bathtub, Raymond tilted his head slightly, feeling the steam cloud his mind even more.
After soaking in the bath, Raymond went straight to the bed and collapsed. "I need to rest for a bit. I'm dizzy."
"What's going on? You only had a few drinks; it shouldn't be this bad. Could it be the seafood from this afternoon?" Alex asked.
Now that he had finished washing up, Raymond didn't want to hearom anything Alex had to say; it was just noise to him. Whether it was the seafood or something else, Raymond didn't have the energy to investigate now.
Raymond's head hurt so much it felt like it was splitting.
Alex had no choice but to leave.
