Reclaiming Her Heart

Meanwhile, over in Silver Bay City, the chatter about Selena's past had pretty much disappeared from the trending topics. You couldn't find a thing about her online anymore.

Wind frowned. "Ms. Smith, Raymond managed to take down the trending topic."

Tessa sat up from the couch and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already three in the morning. Raymond taking action at this hour showed just how much he cared about Selena. Tessa's eyes turned icy, and her lips pressed tightly. "Wind, post Delia and Kyle's info online."

"I already did, but it's not getting much attention. Looks like their names are being suppressed," Wind replied.

Tessa felt a surge of anger. She grabbed her phone, refusing to believe the news, and frantically typed "Selena" on Twitter. But the name was indeed blocked. She then typed "Delia" and "Kyle," but still, nothing came up.

In a fit of rage, she threw her phone against the wall, shattering it into pieces.

"Ms. Smith," Wind said, looking at her with concern.

Tessa clutched her chest, feeling a sharp pain. She quickly reached for the medicine beside her and took it.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"Ms. Smith, don't bother with someone like Selena. Coming from her kind of background, if it weren't for her luck in getting involved with Raymond, she wouldn't even be in your circle. Her brother is still in jail, and she's just a bitch," Wind tried to comfort her.

Thinking of how Lawrence and Richard always had her back, Tessa felt a bit better. But there was still a hint of discomfort in her eyes. "Since we can't spread it online, let's make sure everyone in Silver Bay City knows that Selena isn't good enough for Raymond."

"Most people in the circle already know about Delia and Kyle, and their professions. As soon as Raymond breaks up with Selena, she'll disappear from this circle completely," Wind said. Tessa's lips finally curved into a smile.

Various groups within the circle were still gossiping about Selena, especially about Delia and Kyle. The backgrounds of these two were truly scandalous.

Selena didn't know about any of this yet. But after what happened at the party that night, and knowing how this social circle operated, she had definitely become the subject of gossip and laughter. When Selena woke up, the room was bright with sunlight streaming in. She blinked, adjusting to the light. Raymond wasn't there, so she got up and took a shower, feeling much better afterward.

As she headed to her study, she overheard Raymond on the phone. "What do you mean? Christopher has disappeared recently?"

Selena paused with her hand on the door, then gently knocked.

Raymond turned around, and when he saw her, he motioned for her to come over.

Selena walked to his side and heard him continue.

"Paul, are you sure about this? After all this time, you're telling me Christopher has just disappeared?"

Paul hesitated for a moment before saying, "I even suspect Mr. William Montague is willingly working with Christopher. He's too well hidden. Raymond, what will you do if Christopher comes back and challenges you for control of the Montague Group?"

No one knew what other tricks William might have up his sleeve. Christopher was originally chosen to be the heir. Raymond pulled Selena into his lap. He was sitting while she was standing, with his arm wrapped around her waist. "But he needs to have that ability as well," Raymond sneered.

Besides, Raymond thought Selena was much more important than the Montague Group.

Paul was silent for a moment before lighting a cigarette. "There probably won't be any new information soon. I'm being closely watched by government officials, and your father has warned me." Donovan rarely got involved in the internal struggles of the Montague Group. He always stayed in his position, working with government officials.

Raymond couldn't imagine his father getting involved, and he suddenly felt a sense of unease. But Raymond didn't know where this unease was coming from. Raymond's arm tightened around Selena.

Selena raised her hand and pressed it against his forehead.

After hanging up the phone, Raymond looked up at her. "Are you feeling better?"

Selena nodded, wanting to say she had to go to the office but worried he might get upset.

She could tell Raymond was also very busy. Although things had calmed down with the Montague Group, he still had to deal with William and Christopher.

Thinking of William, she couldn't help but remember her promise to him to give the Montague family a great-grandchild within two years.

S.M Corporation's acquisition of All Star Entertainment was almost complete. Once the company got through this busy period, its market value would multiply several times over. But the child...

She looked at Raymond's face, feeling a pang in her chest. She didn't even know if the first child she lost was a boy or a girl.

Being with Raymond, she had to overcome these negative emotions that surfaced from time to time.
