Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 446 Raymond Always Takes Charge

"Raymond, remember to probe the Stone family. Besides Olivia, I can't think of anyone else right now. Also, look into the other members of the Stone family. The item might not look significant, so someone else in the Stone family might have it without realizing its importance."

Raymond had actually already asked Olivia, but there was a year when Olivia had a high fever for two days, so she answered that she might have received something from Christopher, but she had forgotten.

"I understand. I'll ask her when I return to New York."

Paul narrowed his eyes, "You're not in New York?"

"No, I'm on a business trip."

Hearing that it was a business trip, Paul didn't ask further.

After hanging up, Raymond glanced at the time again; it was nearly five in the morning. There would be no more sleep for him tonight.

He went back to bed and lay down for a short while before getting up.

The staff had already informed the managers back in Ridgefield about his arrival.

By the crack of dawn, several higher-ups were already waiting in the lobby, not daring to disturb his rest.

When Raymond got up, one of the managers approached him eagerly. "Mr. Montague, your unexpected visit to Ridgefield... Is there a new requirement for the project? Since everyone's here, we could discuss it." "Moreover, we were just about to contact you. An hour's drive from here, there's a beach with a pleasant climate every winter. It could be included in this tourism project. Does that interest you, Mr. Montague?" Raymond raised an eyebrow at their earnest faces and decided to give it a look.

He went back to the room and knocked on the door, waking Selena.

When Selena emerged dressed, the managers' expressions changed noticeably. One of them recognized her from an incident where her cousin got into a scuffle with his son, and he had been considerate enough to intervene. But now, here was Selena walking out of the same room as Mr. Montague, both conspicuously good-looking.

The managers felt a flicker of embarrassment. They weren't unfamiliar with such situations, but they just didn't expect Raymond, of all people, to have such desires.

Selena's gaze swept the room, landing on Han and Brian, and she felt a tightness in her chest.

Brian, upon seeing her, looked utterly shocked.

Selena withdrew her gaze and heard Raymond say, "Shall we go take a look over there?"

Selena didn't refuse.

She and Raymond got into the car, and the managers, knowing that Brian was Selena's uncle and not wanting to cause discomfort, let Han drive for Raymond. Selena and Raymond got into the car without uttering a word.

Han kept observing them through the rearview mirror.

Selena truly hadn't expected things to develop this way. Probably everyone thought she and Raymond were involved.

Although, in fact, they were.

Raymond noticed her staring out the window, lost in thought, and pulled her over to him, enveloping her in his arms. Selena struggled a little and nervously glanced forward.

"Mr. Montague..."

Raymond was not one to care about such things.

When he wanted to kiss, he never asked for Selena's opinion.

"Mmm."

Selena's mouth was sealed with his, and soon the sound of their mingling breaths filled the car.

Her face flushed from the intensity of the kiss; she was unable to push him away.

His physique was indeed strong. His chest was like steel, immovable even when pushed with force.

Raymond didn't know why, but although he found other people's saliva disgusting, he thoroughly enjoyed exchanging his with hers.

Selena was left gasping for air, her body betraying her as it went limp.

Leaning on him, Raymond's hand gently patted her back.

Han, having driven for the company's heads for many years and well-versed in discretion, remained focused ahead, nonchalant to what was unfolding in the backseat. It was only Selena who felt embarrassed by Raymond's assertiveness.
