Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 433 The Trap

Raymond's hand was almost caught by the slamming door, a clear indication that she hadn't held back in the slightest. He stood outside the door, unable to come back to his senses for quite some time. After regaining his composure, rage filled his mind. He took a deep breath and stepped into the elevator. The icy aura emanating from him seemed as though it could freeze the surrounding space. The angrier Raymond got, the calmer he appeared.

As he exited the apartment building, he saw Caterlington, who was leaning against a car smoking, looked surprised upon seeing him.

"Isn't this Mr. Montague? Hello, what brings you here?"

Raymond didn't speak. He opened his car door, got in, and pressed the accelerator after closing the door behind him.

Caterlington remained stationary, watching the car drive away. The smile on his face slowly faded.

If Raymond decided he wanted a woman, no woman could escape the traps he set. And Selena was already his wife. Even now, with Caterlington stirring up this drama, it was just to see an embarrassed look on Raymond's face. But the thought struck him that once Raymond realized Selena was indeed his wife, wouldn't all of Raymond's desires instantly be fulfilled?

Realizing this, Caterlington cursed under his breath.

He was an idiot for setting up this charade. He should have continued to help Selena hide her identity, hoping they would quickly divorce.

This commotion might lead to Raymond suddenly discovering his feelings for Selena, and then what?

Caterlington cursed himself in the dark!

On the departing car.

Raymond dialed Alan's number.

Alan was somewhat anxious on the other end, given that Raymond had never taken the initiative to call him before.

"Mr. Montague."

Raymond's tone had become calm, though his hands were tightly gripping the steering wheel.

"Alan, who did Cornerstone Construction send as the chief representative to Ridgefield?"

Alan was a bit puzzled and mentioned an unfamiliar name. Considering it was a collaboration with the Montague family, he certainly didn't dare to neglect it-the person they sent over was among their best. "Alan, I think Lucas Den is quite good; he could be sent there for experience."

Alan instantly understood what Raymond meant; this was an indication to adjust Lucas Den's position. Currently, Lucas Den didn't hold a high rank in Cornerstone Construction, yet he would be responsible for this project. In plain terms, going there meant he would likely be alienated by others.

However, his position would likely to become higher. It's just that he wouldn't be able to return to New York for a prolonged period until the project was finished.

Could this be because of the cufflink incident? But it didn't seem like something Raymond would do.

Alan didn't dare to inquire further and promptly agreed.

"I also think highly of Lucas Den, and he has a good relationship with Selena."

He deliberately brought up Selena, but it might have been better not to mention her at all; as soon as he did, Raymond felt his breathing grow heavier.

Originally, Alan thought that perhaps Raymond would reconsider, for Selena's sake, since Lucas Den worked well under his management.

But before he could get an answer from Raymond, he quickly added,

"Alright, I'll have Lucas Den depart tonight. He should be willing as well."

Raymond ended the call.

He never thought that one day he would stoop to quarrel over a common man. Why did she suddenly get so furious? It was just a wedding ring; she hadn't worn it before, so who was she wearing it for tonight? Didn't she like him?

Or was it that he had been too nice to her recently, giving her the illusion that he would indulge her mistakes?

He frowned, thinking about that ring, recalling her anxious demeanor-his expression grew even colder.

It was just a broken ring.

And yet, she had lashed out at him because of it.
