Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 625 Did Raymond Do It on Purpose?

Lucas stood not far away, fully aware of Raymond's thoughts, so he didn't say a word and acted as a background figure.

Raymond leisurely finished eating a cookie, and Selena then instructed Lucas, "Do we have coffee?"

"Yes, I'll make some," Lucas replied.

Selena nodded and casually tossed the cookie wrapper into a nearby trash can.

Raymond felt completely at ease, replaceing her more pleasing to the eye with each passing moment.

A few minutes later, Raymond pulled her over and kissed her on the lips.

"Penny, you really are quite suited to being a secretary."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a cup hitting the floor came from the doorway.

Selena quickly pushed Raymond away and saw Lucas standing at the door, his hands covered in coffee stains, the cup shattered on the floor, clearly startled by what he had just witnessed. Lucas hurriedly bent down to pick up the pieces, apologized hastily, and went to get a new cup.

Selena frowned, even suspecting that Raymond might have done it on purpose.

But what would be the point of that?

She turned to look at Raymond, who was calmly looking at the documents in his hand, as if he truly didn't know Lucas would come at that moment.

The subsequent conversation with Alan went smoothly. Due to the increased number of workers at Manston Manor, it was confirmed that the handover would take place in half a month.

"Penny, you'll need to be on-site for the formaldehyde testing because you personally selected all the materials. Even though we used the best, we still need to conduct a comprehensive test." Selena nodded and stood up to shake hands with Alan.

Alan glanced at her, then at Raymond, his eyes full of meaning.

Back at the Montague Group, Selena saw Olivia waiting at the office door.

Olivia looked very haggard. The millions of dollars she got from Abigail were not enough; she could tell that Abigail still hoped she would marry into the Montague family. "Raymond."

Selena quickly retreated into the elevator, not giving Raymond a chance to stop her.

He turned to look at Olivia, who was waiting there, his expression very calm.

"What is it?"

"Raymond, I..."

She had only said a few words before she started crying.

Raymond looked at Olivia, his eyes growing colder.

"Olivia, have I been too indulgent with you before?"

Olivia stiffened, her lips trembling, not daring to say anything more.

This time, Raymond was even more direct.

"Don't come to see me again. The Stone family has already taken enough benefits from the Montague Group. I despise greedy people."

Olivia finally couldn't hold back, grabbing his hand and asking, "Do you not like me at all anymore?"

Raymond pulled his hand away, feeling utterly disgusted by her.

He used to think that since she was someone Christopher liked, he should at least give her some dignity, but he never expected her to cling so desperately.

Olivia's visit now was merely to seek his investment in the Eternal Growth Group.

"John, escort her out," Raymond said coldly.

Olivia lowered her head and started crying, sobbing as she entered the elevator.

Back at the Stone family, Olivia had someone forge a letter from Christopher.

She had always been clever in this regard. In the past, to get close to Raymond, she had deliberately pestered Christopher with many questions, memorizing his handwriting and even keeping a piece of scrap paper.

Now, she hired a professional handwriting expert to forge a love letter from Christopher based on that scrap paper, containing just one short line.

[Olivia, I want to marry you in the future.]

Olivia knew Abigail was very partial to Christopher, so she took the forged letter to Abigail immediately.

Abigail was so excited upon hearing that Christopher had left something behind that she nearly fainted on the spot.

Olivia cried in front of her.

"Mrs. Montague, this was Christopher's promise to me. Now Raymond won't invest in the Stone family's group, and we're on the brink of bankruptcy. I don't know if Christopher would be heartbroken in the afterlife. I might as well join him!" With that, she made a move to hit the wall!

Abigail quickly had someone stop her, took the paper, and examined it carefully, trembling as she asked, "When did Christopher write this to you?"

Olivia looked a bit embarrassed, biting her lip.

"Back then, I always pestered Christopher with homework questions, and he wrote this line for me."

When Christopher was still around, Olivia indeed used to cling to him.

Seeing the paper, Abigail started crying, tears streaming down her face.

Anything related to Christopher could make her lose her sanity instantly.

"Since Christopher wrote this letter to you, he was serious about you. I'll call Raymond back later and have you two get together! You'd better get pregnant, so you can marry into the Montague family immediately."

A gleam of excitement flashed in Olivia's eyes, leaving her at a loss for words.

"Mrs. Montague, I'll follow your arrangements!" Olivia said.

And Abigail just kept crying over the letter; her heart breaking.
