Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 393 Raymond Hates Interference

Selena let out a sigh of relief, a hint of tranquility shimmering in her eyes. Finally, this matter had reached its resolution. Just as she was feeling at ease, her phone rang, and it was James on the other end, his voice filled with excitement as he managed to exclaim, "Selena..." before his words trailed off. Shocked to the core, he felt darkness encroaching upon his vision.

"Dad, it's alright now. You just need to rest," she reassured him.

James tried to speak, but bitterness lingered on his tongue. After a minute, he mustered the strength to inquire, "Was it Raymond?" "Yes."

Silence fell upon James, who had believed that Raymond held no affection for Selena. Little did he expect that while Raymond had disrupted the Fair family's business, he had also rescued them from the verge of bankruptcy. "Well then, I must personally visit the Montague family to express my gratitude," James proclaimed.

Selena's brow furrowed. "Dad, there's no need for such unnecessary gestures. Raymond intervened in the Fair family's affairs because you were in frequent contact with Mr. Montague Sr. Mr. Montague Sr attempted to bind him through marriage, but as you saw, he left everyone behind and went abroad for three years. Raymond despises interference and control. If the Fair family wishes to endure, we must avoid making ourselves too conspicuous in front of him." As tears streamed down his face, James, still overwhelmed by the salvation of the Fair family, absorbed his daughter's words, feeling a mix of pain and numbness in his chest.

"I understand, Selena. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: you must take over the company."

Being an interior designer, Selena already dealt with numerous clients and possessed an understanding of the renovation market. Her experiences were essentially an apprenticeship at the grassroots level.

Though James may have erred in the past, he had never wavered in his intention to hand over the company to his daughter.

Even if Nick had gained his favor, he had only considered granting the Fair family shares.

Selena fell silent; she had no desire to take over.

After completing her design work in Manhattan, she planned to delegate Carter's properties to others in the studio and return to her career as a painter.
