Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 624 Want to Marry into the Montague Family?

Grace's eyes grew colder as she looked at Selena, as if Selena were a succubus seducing Raymond.

"Penny, you go out. I have something to discuss with Raymond alone."

Selena stood up and left without hesitation.

But before she could close the door tightly, she heard Grace's questioning.

"Are you serious about this designer? What about Ms. Smith from the Smith family?"

Raymond frowned, replaceing it amusing. Richard had also mentioned Ms. Smith from the Smith family last time.

But he didn't even know Ms. Smith.

Grace continued, "I met with Richard yesterday. He mentioned it casually, and that's how I found out you've been corresponding with Ms. Smith. She's the cherished youngest daughter of the Smith family. You can't treat her like you treat Selena, or the Smith family won't let you off."

When Selena heard this, she closed the door.

She was also there on Raymond's birthday when Richard said the same thing.

The Smith family was a heavyweight in Vistalia, and Ms. Smith was their cherished youngest daughter. Raymond should indeed treat her well.

Selena stood outside, unable to hear what was being said inside due to the room's good soundproofing.

Raymond denied any relationship with Ms. Smith a few times and then leaned back.

"Aunt, I have a meeting to attend later."

Grace said, "Raymond, you need to seriously reflect on the woman you have by your side now. She's not innocent at all. She'd rather divorce and follow you because of your wealth and status." Raymond didn't want to hear this kind of talk and directly opened the folder, saying, "After the meeting, I still have to go to Cornerstone Construction."

Seeing his determination, Grace was so angry she didn't know what to say.

Leaving the office, she glared viciously at Selena.

Selena stood not far away and saw her approaching.

Grace raised her hand to slap her, but Selena grabbed her wrist, frowning.

Everyone around turned to look. The top-floor staff all knew Grace was Raymond's aunt and often visited the Montague Group.

Everyone was watching the drama unfold, seeing Grace so furious, and they all started gossiping.

"It seems she really is just a bad woman who seduces men."

"Ms. Montague is usually very composed; she must have been pushed to her limit."

Grace withdrew her hand and looked coldly at Selena.

"How long do you think you can stay by his side? Small tricks are one thing, but if you want to marry into the Montague family, dream on." Selena felt a bit uncomfortable at this moment. After all, Grace was initially very kind to her and had helped her a lot.

Now, Grace hated her just like Catherine did.

But Selena couldn't refute this point.

She needed Raymond's help, so she had to agree to his terms.

So in the face of Grace's accusations, she just nodded lightly, "Ms. Montague, take care."

Grace's pupils contracted, and she left immediately.

Selena stood there, feeling the strange looks from those around her, and sighed.

When she re-entered, she saw Raymond hanging up the phone, not knowing who he had called.

"Mr. Montague, it's time to head to Cornerstone Construction."

Raymond had mentioned going last night, so she didn't delay and had already contacted Alan on the way.

Raymond nodded, called John in to give a few instructions, and then followed Selena to Cornerstone Construction.

To Selena's surprise, Lucas was also in the meeting room at Cornerstone Construction.

'Isn't Lucas in Ridgefield?' Selena thought.

And it was Lucas who came to greet her and Raymond.

Raymond sat by the window, Selena beside him, and Lucas brought in two trays.

When Selena met his eyes, she was surprised.

Lucas smiled at her and placed two glasses of water on the table.

"Mr. Montague, Penny, please have some water. Mr. Hughes will be here shortly."

After saying this, he left.

Raymond spoke up at this moment, "Get me some coffee."

Lucas quickly turned back, but Selena pushed the water toward Raymond and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet. If you drink coffee on an empty stomach, you'll get a stomachache." Raymond had just wanted an excuse to keep Lucas around longer. Now, hearing Selena's concern, he smiled slightly, feeling much better.

"But I want coffee," Raymond said.

Selena took out a cookie from her bag. "Then eat this first."

She had prepared it specifically, wanting to be a competent secretary by being perfectly prepared.

Raymond raised an eyebrow, not immediately taking the cookie but glancing at Lucas instinctively.

Her ex-husband was right there, yet she did this without hesitation.

Raymond chuckled softly, took the cookie, tore it open, and broke off a piece to eat.

Selena had prepared it for Raymond. She was worried he wouldn't eat, so she bought the most expensive kind from the supermarket. But even the most expensive one seemed too cheap in his hands.
