Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 587 Anger at Her Indifference

Selena just glanced at her phone, her tone light as she said, "Mr. Montague, I'm going back to rest."

Raymond fell silent this time, only hearing the door of his room being closed.

As Selena walked downstairs from the hotel, she felt a wave of grievance. She looked up at the sky, trying hard to hold back her tears.

At that moment, Ann called her.

Ann called Selena at least three times a day to report on company matters. But this time, it was about the legal team.

Ann said, "Ms. Fair, we've found out who the Stone family scapegoat is. It's Samantha's son, Jim Stone. Due to the extensive public opinion caused by this scandal, government departments are also paying attention. Coupled with irrefutable evidence, the enforcement was swift, and Jim had already been taken away. Samantha is trying to pull strings to get him out. If nothing unexpected happens, Jim is likely to be sentenced to ten years." It turned out to be an old acquaintance.

Selena quickly raised her hand, patting her face to force herself to perk up. She didn't even notice that Raymond had followed her out.

He was still worried about Selena going back alone so late. But when he arrived at the hotel entrance, he saw Selena on the phone, chatting and laughing as if his matter did not affect her at all. A surge of anger overwhelmed him in that moment.

Selena was still talking to Ann, "Have the legal team continue to follow up. With Jim in prison for ten years, Samantha will definitely resent Olivia. No one knows what Samantha will do then."

As Selena said this, Raymond stood behind her.

Raymond had personally witnessed the grudges between Selena and Samantha when he was at Harvard University. Now, with the addition of Olivia, it seemed normal for Selena to confront the Stone family.

But Raymond wouldn't allow it. After Selena hung up the phone, he said, "I will have someone get him out."

He lit a cigarette, his eyes reddened, partly from anger at her indifference.

Selena heard his voice, turned slowly, and saw him standing there. His beautiful fingers held the lit cigarette as he looked at her impassively.

"You want to deal with the Stone family, but I won't allow it. I won't let the Stone Group go bankrupt, and I will ensure they come to no harm." With Raymond's capabilities, this task was a breeze. Selena was left speechless.

Raymond was a recognized genius in the financial industry, known for his ruthless approach to enemies.

Selena couldn't possibly go against him now. The gap between them was too vast.

If Raymond had acted, all of Selena's recent efforts would have been in vain. If Raymond was described as a ferocious wolf, then Selena could at most be considered a bug. Raymond took a deep drag of his cigarette, approached Selena, pinched her chin, and kissed her, exhaling the smoke into her mouth.

Selena didn't smoke, and Raymond's cigarette wasn't strong with nicotine; it had a faint, custom-made scent. Yet Selena felt uncomfortable, her eyes reddened by the smoke.

Raymond released her, looking at her with a hint of determination in his tone. "I gave you a chance, but you refused it. I offered you a check, but you scorned it. Remember what I said last time you came begging me? The price will be different next time."

Raymond was reminding Selena that if she left tonight, there would be no check for her next time she came begging.

And as long as Raymond wished it, Selena would indeed come begging him.

He was Raymond. To succeed in Silver Bay City, one needed the approval of Raymond, this local overlord.

At that moment, Selena felt utterly powerless.

"Mr. Montague, what do you really want?" Selena's voice was hoarse. "If you want a woman, Miss Stone is more suitable for you. Even if not Miss Stone, there are plenty of outstanding women in your circle. My background is ordinary, and I've been married. I truly don't match up to you."

Selena knew she couldn't oppose Raymond; it would only make him truly ruthless. She decided to try to move him with emotion and reason.

But Raymond leaned in, biting her ear, saying, "Making love with you is the most comfortable thing."
