Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 763 He Shows No Mercy
Greer freaked out the second he heard he was getting kicked out of the Montague family.
"Dad, this is all a big misunderstanding, I swear..."
But William wasn't having any of it.
"Get lost! You're banned from Silver Bay City. You got one night to pack your stuff, or I'll personally throw you out tomorrow." William wasn't playing around.
Greer knew fighting back was pointless.
Scared out of his mind, he bolted in the wrong direction and ended up next to Selena.
Selena jumped and quickly ducked her head, hoping he wouldn't see her.
Greer, too freaked out to notice, realized he was going the wrong way and spun back toward the central elevator.
But as he got close to Selena, she got exposed.
A bunch of people turned to look, spotting a server hiding there.
Raymond immediately recognized her as Penny and smirked.
William had already turned to Gilbert, who hadn't expected William to show up tonight and instantly got all respectful. "Mr. Montague, don't worry, your handling of this is spot on. Thanks for standing up for my daughter," Gilbert said. William had nailed it, showing no favoritism and acting fast.
Seeing Greer's panicked face, it was clear he was never coming back to Silver Bay City.
William nodded, not saying more about it since it was pretty embarrassing.
He then turned to Richard.
The two private rooms were across from each other, and everyone had gathered to watch the drama.
Richard's hand was still bandaged, and Raymond's neck was too, reminding everyone of their recent brawl.
Even though Richard couldn't stand Raymond, he couldn't make a scene in front of William, so he gave a polite nod. William's face lit up with a kind smile. "So, this is the Smith family's kid?"
"Mr. Montague, nice to meet you," Richard said, all polite.
William nodded, looking pretty pleased. "Handsome guy, no wonder the girls are into you."
This was a dig at Raymond, implying he couldn't compete with Richard.
Raymond's face turned dark. "What's so handsome about him? He's just got a nose and two eyes like everyone else."
William was more convinced the fight was because Raymond was jealous. Jealous of the girl's crush on Richard, Raymond had lost it. 'Serves him right,' William thought.
"What do you know? Girls like the smooth, gentle type. No woman likes a sharp-tongued guy," William said.
Raymond went quiet.
He glanced at Selena, still hiding in the corner, wondering why she was still there.
The commotion caught the lobby manager's attention, who came over to apologize. "Sorry, folks, please head back to your private rooms. We'll handle this."
As soon as he finished, he noticed the female server standing nearby and motioned for her to come over.
"You, come help out, don't just stand there."
The manager's words brought everyone's attention back to Selena.
Selena pulled her hat brim lower, knowing if she didn't move, people would soon suspect her involvement with Greer, given her sketchy behavior.
She showed only the lower part of her face and quickly squatted to pick up the scattered items on the floor.
The floor was a mess with broken plates, which had fallen when Greer bumped into a cart carrying dirty dishes.
One piece was right by Raymond's foot.
Selena, squatting and picking up the pieces, reached for it, only to see his shoe lightly press down on the shard she was about to grab.
The lobby manager, seeing her delay, scolded her in a low voice. "How long have you been working here? Why are you so clumsy tonight?" Selena cursed Raymond silently, deciding to leave that piece and stand up.
But Raymond's shoe pressed down on her fingers.
It didn't hurt, but she'd have to use force to pull her hand out, which would draw attention to her.
Cold sweat broke out on her back. If Raymond realized she was Selena right now...
