GoodNovelChapter 977 Won't Give Them a Chance to Be Together Selena had just woken up and was still feeling a bit woozy. When she heard the voice, it took her a second to realize it was Raymond's phone, and now Tessa was the one answering it. Selena had been out cold for the past few days, living off nutrient fluids, and felt pretty weak.
On the other end, Tessa's voice was firm, "Don't call again." Then her tone turned icy, almost a whisper, "Or I'll make your life a living hell." After hanging up, Tessa quickly deleted the call log, then walked out of the private room and headed outside. Raymond was already in the car, resting.
The car's interior was dimly lit. His Adam's apple bobbed as he stared ahead, half his face cloaked in shadows, his expression unreadable. No one knew what was going through his mind.
Tessa handed the phone through the car window, her eyes gleaming, "Honey, you left your phone in the room. I brought it for you." Raymond ignored her, but Tessa wasn't fazed. She leaned closer to the window and said, "I'll leave your phone here. Go hand get sgood sleep, okay? Goodbye." She waved with a smile and reminded John to drive carefully before standing there, watching the car leave with a hint of reluctance.

She returned to her car, where Richard was waiting.
Richard, gripping the steering wheel, stared out the window, his brows knitted. "You shouldn't have ctonight." Tessa replied, "Richard, because I came, everyone is talking aboutand Raymond now. Who even remembers Selena? My background, my love for Raymond, it's all better than hers. If Selena ends up with Raymond, people will just think she's a Cinderella and that Raymond has no taste." She looked down, her emotions hard to read. "Besides, I won't give them a chance to be together." Richard stayed silent. He didn't know Tessa well; he just felt she was spoiled by their family, always thinking everything good should be hers, and others could only have her leftovers. Tessa clung to his arm, pouting. "Richard, you can't help her." Richard pulled his hand back. "Don't push it. This is Silver Bay City, not Vistalia." She stuck out her tongue, "What's the difference? These people still have to flatter me. Everyone wants to do business in Vistalia. If I want, Mom and Lawrence will definitely agree." That was her confidence.
Richard said nothing more, just sighed.
At 2 AM, Selena finally felt a bit better. She got into her car, planning to drive back to Silver Bay City overnight.
She even bought several bags of coffee to stay awake on the road.
By 9 AM the next day, Selena's car stopped 300 feet from Manston Manor.
Because she had drunk several bags of coffee and hadn't had breakfast, her stomach was churning.
But she held on and called Raymond.
Raymond's hoarse voice cfrom the other end, "What is it?" Selena opened her mouth to ask about her current situation. She had rushed over without getting any information, but hearing his distant tone, she stopped talking.

"If there's nothing, I'll hang up." Raymond said he would hang up, but he kept the phone to his ear, wanting to know if she would say anything. Selena wanted to seize the opportunity to ask about his situation.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach, like countless needlesm stabbing, making it impossible to speak. Raymond waited a full minute before coldly curling his lips and hanging up. Selena clutched her stomach, feeling both pain and nausea.
She had no choice. Seeing the call was disconnected, she shakily dialed Ann to cand take the car. Ann arrived quickly, bringing stomach medicine. "Ms. Fair, aren't you going in?" Manston Manor was just 300 feet ahead. What was Selena hesitating about now?
