Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 618 Come Here, Let Me Hug You
Selena noticed Olivia didn't reply, and her eyes turned calm.
She thought, 'This isn't Olivia's final fate.'
Almost drowning on the cruise ship because of Olivia, her father's life, and everything in between was enough to make Olivia pay a hundred times over. Selena wasn't one to forgive easily; she believed in an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
Right now, she was in her office, thinking about her meeting with Raymond later, so she put her phone down.
But Olivia texted back: [Just you wait! Just you wait!]
She chuckled and tossed her phone aside.
The news that Olivia wasn't part of the Stone family quickly got to Raymond.
Alex told him personally.
"Raymond, if you want to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, now's your chance."
Raymond hung up immediately.
Then Victor called.
"Olivia isn't the Stone family's daughter. I think she might be the lost daughter of the Smith family. I'm planning to have her do a paternity test with Mr. Smith."
Victor was already looking into Olivia's background but still gave Raymond a heads-up.
"Are you really not going to step in? If you say the word, a lot of people will help her."
Raymond opened his mouth, but all he could think of was Selena.
"The Montague Group has already done enough for her."
He had always ignored the Stone family using the Montague Group to make money, and when he was with Olivia, he showered her with gifts.
If the Stone family had someone who actually focused on running the company, they wouldn't be in this mess now.
Besides, the coastal property issue was a real problem.
Right then, Olivia had already gone to replace Abigail, crying in front of her.
Abigail originally thought Olivia's background was acceptable, but she never expected Olivia wasn't even the Stone family's daughter; she was an illegitimate child of unknown origin. "Mrs. Montague, can you help me for Christopher's sake? Christopher said he would marry me."
Abigail's favorite was her grandson Christopher, so when she heard Olivia say this, she felt a bit sad.
"Did Christopher really say that to you?"
Olivia cried as she spoke, "Has there ever been another woman besides me around Christopher?" Abigail thought about it and agreed, so she took out a card with a few million dollars on it. "Take this money," said Abigail.
"Mrs. Montague, Christopher wanted me to marry into the Montague family. Now that he's gone, no one can fulfill this wish."
Abigail's chest tightened. She remembered that Christopher and Olivia were indeed very close. If it weren't for Christopher's accident, they would probably be married by now. Moreover, Christopher had once mentioned to her that he had someone he liked.
Abigail had endless favoritism for Christopher, so she immediately called Raymond.
"Your brother wanted to marry Olivia into the family. Now that he's gone, you need to fulfill his wish and marry Olivia. After all, you're divorced now."
Raymond found this amusing, his eyes turning cold.
"Grandma, does it mean that anything Christopher wanted, even if he's dead, I have to get it for him?"
Abigail frowned and said, "He was your brother, Raymond. Think about how you got this position. If it weren't for Christopher's accident, you'd still be in the military. You wouldn't have had the chance to become the heir. You took what was his, so fulfill his wish. You owe him that."
Raymond hung up the phone, staring coldly at the screen.
Abigail, still persistent, called again.
Raymond chuckled. "Grandma, if I really touched Christopher's woman, what if he came back one day and fought me to the death?"
Besides, he would never touch someone Christopher liked.
Even though people speculated that Raymond might have killed Christopher, given the dark nature of family feuds, he wouldn't go as far as to take what was Christopher's.
Abigail stood up instantly, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Raymond, why would you say that? Did you hear something? Tell me!"
Raymond hung up again, and Abigail was so excited she almost fainted.
So she didn't mention Raymond marrying Olivia again, only giving Olivia a few million dollars to replace a place to stay temporarily.
Raymond sat in his office, finishing the afternoon's paperwork, when he got a call from Catherine.
In no time, Abigail had already called Catherine.
Catherine was so excited she was incoherent, constantly pressing.
"Is your brother still alive? Raymond, if that's true, you need to be ready to give up the CEO position. That spot has always been Christopher's, and you must do whatever it takes to bring him back. As long as Christopher can come back..." Catherine's excitement betrayed her true feelings.
Raymond listened quietly, his mind racing with thoughts of Christopher.
He found it amusing, his eyes lifting as he leaned back after hanging up the phone.
Just then, Selena walked in.
She wore a smart trench coat with a camel-colored scarf, her short hair neat and clean.
She held some of Raymond's recent schedules in her hand.
Raymond looked at her, his eyes calm. After a long pause, he said, "Come here, let me hold you."
