ReadGoodChapter 725 A New Lover The Smiths' daughter had a heart condition, but they kept her wrapped in bubble wrap. She had two brothers who totally doted on her, making it seem like the perfect family. Selena looked down. "Mr. Smith, even though you say that, you still care about her, right?" Richard, rocking a gray suit, ordered a coffee, but Selena stopped him. "Maybe skip the coffee at night." He grinned, "She's my sister, of course, I'm on her side. But lately, her attitude's been getting out of hand. My older brother and mom spoil her rotten, but I think it's too much. She used to sneak out and play despite her heart condition. One time, she got into it with a celeb and had a heart attack right there. The celeb got blacklisted worldwide, even though it was my sister who started it." Richard's face scrunched up as he talked. "My older brother and mom's love for her is just over the top. This twhen I went back, she threw a fit 'cause I couldn't get Mr. Butler, and nothing could calm her down, so I had to leave." Even though Richard seemed to be complaining about his sister, you could tell he still cared a lot.
Selena suddenly felt lost for words, never having lived that kind of life. These were rich people problems. She just sipped her lemon water quietly. Richard always had this laid-back vibe. He looked at Selena and suddenly asked, "Did it bug you when we talked about my sister and Raymond?" "No," Selena said.
"Penny, if my sister comes to Silver Bay City, you and Raymond are done. She's spoiled, and my older brother and mom will give her whatever she wants." "Your sister's lucky," Selena said.
'To have so many people who love her,' Selena thought.

Richard tried to cheer her up, "There are plenty of guys out there besides Raymond. If you like good-looking ones, I can hook you up with sof my friends." "No, thanks," Selena said.
"Why not?" "|..." Before Selena could finish, she saw Catherine outside the window.
Her brows knitted together, and just as she was about to duck her head, Catherine had already spotted her.
"You bitch!" Catherine stormed in, slamming the door behind her. "Are you using the Montague family's nto cause trouble again? Rachel already called me. What did you do this time?" To Catherine, Selena was always in the wrong, no matter what.
Selena felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her in front of Richard. "Mrs. Montague, you must have seen the news online. I didn't use the Montague family's name." But before she could finish, Catherine's eyes landed on Richard, and her voice shot up. "Well, you just divorced my son, and now you've found another one!" Richard didn't know Catherine, but the mention of a divorce caught him off guard.
Selena knew reasoning with Catherine was pointless. The woman had been driven mad by her marriage.
She was about to leave, but Catherine grabbed her wrist and hissed, "Don't even dream! Raymond will never like a bitch like you." Catherine raised her hand to slap Selena, but Richard yanked Selena back, shielding her behind him. Catherine finally recognized Richard as another rich kid.
'Selena really is a gold-digging bitch!' Catherine thought. She pulled back her hand and took a deep breath. "I always knew a woman like you would do anything for money! Ruining my marriage wasn't enough, and now you want to use the Montague family for profit. Dream on!" With that, Catherine stormed out, slamming the door behind her.
Selena stood there, feeling drained from dealing with Catherine after a long day.

Richard didn't push it, but he raised his hand and gently patted her head, trying to comfort her.
The gesture made Selena feel a lump in her throat. She grabbed her bag, her hunger forgotten. "I'm leaving," Selena said.
What she didn't expect was that Alex, who was passing by snappedam photo of the Head-pat moment.
Alex looked at the photo and thought for a moment before texting om Raymond: (Raymond, what are you up to? How are you feeling?] Raymond replied quickly with just one word: [Talk.] The short reply made Alex think Raymond must be feeling better.
He immediately sent the photo over.
Alex: [Congrats, Penny's got a new lover.]
