Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 534 The Woman in His Heart!
His hands clenched the steering wheel in a white-knuckled grip, anger surging through him as he pressed down on the accelerator. Upon his return to the Montague family office, he promptly dialed Olivia's number. Olivia, having already returned to the Stone family home, had sensed something amiss when Oliver was late. Raymond's mention of an investigation had only heightened her suspicions that Oliver was in trouble. Acting swiftly, she relayed her concerns to Grace.
Grace, a mild-mannered woman with only one son, Carter, who was not deeply involved in the Montague family affairs, was ill-suited to the internal strife between brothers.
Anxiously, Olivia had been waiting for Oliver's response, eager to ascertain her own implication in the matter. However, it was Raymond who called. Her heart skipped a beat, and she gulped subconsciously. "Raymond," she greeted him.
Raymond, his gaze fixed on the documents before him, spoke in a calm tone, "Did you instruct Oliver?"
"Raymond, I..." Olivia began, but her words trailed off. Selena's actions of scratching Olivia's face were something Olivia couldn't ignore. She needed to think about what her brother had given her instead of causing trouble for Selena. Anger welled up within Olivia, threatening to consume her. "She almost ruined my face!"
"You almost ruined her hand too, didn't you? Do you really think you're more precious than her?" Raymond retorted, his words leaving Olivia speechless and seething with malice.
Recognizing the futility of arguing with Raymond, Olivia suppressed her emotions, a metallic taste of blood lingering in her mouth. "I understand, I won't pursue this matter with her," she conceded.
Raymond promptly ended the call, leaving Olivia fuming. In a fit of rage, she hurled her phone to the ground and began to wreak havoc in the room.
Her chest heaved violently as she summoned her staff. "Find out everything about that designer's family situation. I want to know it all! Including her place of work! How many people are in her family and so on! Who is she married to? I want to know all of it!" she demanded, her patience worn thin.
Unable to retaliate against Selena directly, Olivia resolved to target her family instead, threatening them one by one. She was adamant that no one would steal Raymond away from her, the man she had loved for so many years.
After all, they had once been a couple. How could she let a vile person take him away? "Go! Hurry up! I must know her family situation by tomorrow!" she commanded, kicking the scattered items on the floor like a madwoman, much to the alarm of her bodyguards.
"Miss Stone, we'll start investigating right away," they assured her.
Unhinged, Olivia slammed the vanity table, imagining it was Selena's body. Selena, who had taken her place as Raymond's wife, and who had caused her to lose face the last time. Selena, who had shaken Raymond's heart, leading to threats and accusations from him. It was unbearable. She was supposed to be his first love, the indelible mark on his heart!
As Olivia continued her rampage, a knock on the door interrupted her. "Take a look at the bidding materials for tomorrow, Olivia. Now, no one knows if there are any tricks with that piece of land," a voice advised. Olivia glanced at the documents. "Got it."
"Aether is participating in the bidding this time, so there are likely to be many people who want to see you and Selena's drama. After what happened last time, almost everyone in the circle knows. Be sure to control your temper when dealing with her," the voice continued.
Taking a deep breath, Olivia responded, "Mom, I will keep the bidding in mind."
Her mom patted her shoulder, speaking earnestly. "We have been planning for this piece of land for a year, there can be no mistakes. By the way, has Raymond revealed any information about this land to you?" "No."
"If there's something fishy about this land, he must have heard of it. You better ask him more questions. After all, you're going to marry him in the future. He won't just stand by and watch his future wife lose money."
Olivia didn't mention Selena's situation for the time being. Her status in the Montague family and her involvement in business as a young woman were all thanks to her relationship with Raymond. Over the years, the Stone family had reaped the benefits of her being Raymond's girlfriend, and everyone had to consider her opinion.
Everyone in the Stone family believed that she could marry into the Montague family. Even her mother thought so.
Nora glanced at the mess inside the house and sighed. "Don't let Raymond see you like this, and Mrs. Montague Senior prefers girls who are more dignified."
Suppressing her anger, Olivia nodded. "I understand."
Meanwhile, Selena, after being taken to Rose Garden, opted not to go upstairs but instead hailed a taxi to the hospital to have her hand examined. This time, it was Dr. Barnes who attended to her.
"There's nothing major, but be more careful next time," he advised, glancing at the medical report in his hand, where her name and age were clearly written.
After Selena left, Dr. Barnes received a call from Raymond, asking him to take a look at her hand. Raymond was concerned about Selena's injury, especially since her hand was important. "Dr. Barnes, come to my hotel tonight. I'll bring her along," he instructed.
