Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 510 Did Raymond Finally Get His Comeuppance?

"Regrettably, I have prior engagements this evening," came the unexpected response. Alex blinked in surprise, certain he had misheard. This was, after all, Qin Bo Huai's welcome dinner, a gathering that had always been a source of joy for the quartet. It was highly unlikely that one of them would forego it due to other commitments.

Puzzled, Alex wracked his brain before voicing his uncertainty, "You didn't get hit, did you? Are you concealing a mark that's too embarrassing to display?" His conjecture, honed by his experience as a screenwriter, was remarkably accurate. Raymond's breathing hitched, and the call was abruptly terminated. Alex, left staring at the disconnected call, collapsed into a fit of laughter. Who would have thought that Raymond would finally meet his reckoning?

Raymond, in a fit of frustration, tossed his spider-web-cracked phone aside. "Procure a new one for me," he instructed John, who nodded in affirmation and promptly contacted the seller.

Fresh from her morning ablutions, Selena was greeted by the arrival of a breakfast cart, wheeled in by a server. However, trailing behind the server was an unexpected guest - Olivia. Her face was a mask of shock and disbelief as she took in the sight of the marked-up Selena. Selena herself was taken aback by Olivia's sudden appearance, the timing of which was far from ideal.

"Miss, this is the breakfast Mr. Montague has prepared for you," announced the server, before promptly exiting the room, leaving the cart behind.

Olivia's gaze, filled with resentment, bore into Selena. She had long been aware of Selena's affair with Raymond, but witnessing it firsthand was a bitter pill to swallow. The marks on Selena's neck felt like slaps to Olivia's face, igniting a fire within her that refused to be tamed.

She had never thought Raymond capable of leaving such marks, having always perceived him as indifferent towards such passions. Her fingertips tightened involuntarily at her side.
