Chapter 904 Help Selena didn't even get a sec to ask what the heck was happening.
Meanwhile, Max was tearing it up, but instead of heading to Ashbourne Manor, it bolted straight to Manston Manor.
It was pouring, and Max was zipping around like a flash.
Dogs, man, they always know who's got the bigger vibe better than we do.
After what felt like forever, it started barking its head off at the gate of Manston Manor.
They'd just swapped out the gate at Manston Manor, and the bodyguards spotted Max on the cams, looking kinda puzzled. "Isn't that Max? What's it doing out there?" "Pretty sure Ms. Fair took it this morning." "So why's it back now?" "No clue, let's just let it in." Ever since Selena went on a joyride and caused chaos at Manston Manor, folks there kinda got the memo about her.
Basically, if you can mess up Manston Manor and walk away like nothing happened, you're probably Selena.
So, they didn't dare slack off, not even with her dog.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe iron gate swung open, and Max shot inside.
It sprinted all the way to the hall and barged in through the small door of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Raymond was burning the midnight oil in his study and cdown for a drink when he saw Max, soaked and leaving a trail of wet paw prints. His face darkened, and he had a servant take Max for a bath.
Raymond thought, 'Did it sneak over again? Selena was supposed to take it back today.' But no matter how hard the servant tried, Max kept barking at Raymond.
Raymond just wanted another drink, but the barking was driving him nuts.
"Mr. Montague, Max seems freaked out by something." The servant was struggling, not wanting to hurt the dog by pulling too hard.
Raymond frowned and had someone fetch him sgloves. After putting them on, he gave Max a pat on the head.
Max immediately chomped down on his pant leg and started dragging him outside.
Raymond watched for a sec, then pulled out his phone and called Selena.
A strange dude picked up. "What do you want with her?" "Who the hell are you?" Raymond squinted, still wearing the gloves, and patted Max's head to calm it. He didn't lose his cool but asked for the guy's ID. "A new actor with S.M Corporation. Ms. Fair's in a meeting. If you got something to say, call back tomorrow." And with that, the guy hung up. Raymond glanced at the clock on the wall. Seven in the evening. Selena had stormed out earlier, and now she was in a meeting? Seriously? Max started barking again.
Raymond yanked off his gloves and tossed them into a nearby trash can. "John, find out where Selena is, now." John, standing nearby, nodded and immediately made a call to get things rolling.
Raymond threw on his coat. "Get the car. We're heading to Ashbourne Manor." John quickly brought the car around.
Max hopped into the back seat, but Raymond didn't touch him, just stared straight ahead.
As they neared Ashbourne Manor, Max suddenly started barking at something outside.
Raymond thought Max had spotted Selena, but the dog was barking towards the road leading to the park.
He frowned, opened the car door, and Max shot out, sprinting up the path.
Raymond felt a knot in his stomach and gave John squick orders, "Get spolice dogs over here; something might be up." Max was a smart dog, with an IQ like a seven-year-old kid. It was always sharp, and tonight's behavior meant it had seen something. Sheepdogs are natural runners, full of energy. With the top- notch training from Ashbourne Manor, Max was practically a police dog. Raymond followed Max out of the car, telling John to check out Ashbourne Manor.
Max would stop every so often to make sure Raymond was keeping up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRaymond's stamina was no joke; he kept pace without falling behind.
When they reached the top, he saw ssigns on the ground.
Even though it had been cleaned, the lawn showed signs of being om ed signs of trampled Max was sniffing around, clearly onto something.
Raymond pushed aside sgrass and saw a bit of blood diluted by the rain His heart clenched.
Max sniffed the air, but the rain was messing with its sense of smell. It looked around, trying to figure out where Selena had gone. Raymond had already made a call, mobilizing his people to search for Selena. Max suddenly bolted in one direction.
Raymond cocked his gun and followed.
But there was nothing there. Max stopped, indicating the trail ended.
Raymond wiped the rain off his face and started shouting, "Selena!" Every the shouted, Max would bark.
Clearly, Max knew the nand recognized it as its owner's.
