Chapter 535 Is she your designer?

Dr. Barnes found himself reflecting on a conversation, one that now took on new significance given Raymond's evident concern. "Are you referring to your little designer?" he had asked. Raymond hadn't denied it, instead replying, "Her hand is important. It's crucial that there are no lasting effects. Join me tonight and examine it closely."

Rumors had been circulating about Raymond evicting Selena, and they had already reached a small circle of people. Raymond's father, still holding his position, hadn't been home much, so he was likely well-informed about the land's planning. Recent gossip suggested that within two years, the area would
