Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 533 I Slept with You

"Does Oliver know Miss Stone? Why else would he come after me when we have no conflict? And how did Ms. Montague suddenly find out? Who informed her?"

She looked up at Raymond. Despite the softness in her body, a result of his passionate kiss, her eyes remained clear and calm.
