Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 538 Even If You Desired to Divorce Raymond

In the throes of his anger, Mr. Montague Sr found himself suddenly rubbing his forehead with a wearied hand.

"Let him stew in his regret, I shan't lift a finger to help him," he declared, his voice echoing in the silence that followed his outburst.

"But why make him kneel?" the butler questioned, his voice a mere whisper against the storm of his rage.

"Why? Because he deserves to kneel, to feel the weight of his actions. Come dawn, I want him gone," Mr. Montague Sr. retorted, his voice a harsh bark in the quiet room. No sooner had the words left his mouth than the shrill ring of his phone pierced the silence. The caller ID flashed Selena's name, bringing a smile to the old man's face. "Selena," he greeted, his voice softening at the sound of her name.

"Mr. Montague Sr, I need to inquire about the land on the city's eastern side. The Fair family is set to bid on it tomorrow, but I've discovered that the bidding has been postponed for a year. Several major companies that were initially interested have all backed out. Is there an issue with the land?" Selena's voice echoed through the phone, her concern palpable.

Mr. Montague Sr's gaze darted around the room, his mind whirling with thoughts. He considered inviting her over to discuss the matter in person, but the image of the unworthy man kneeling outside quickly squashed that idea. "I've discussed your concerns with your dad," he replied, his voice steady.

quiet, her gaze lowered, her eyelashes casting long shadows on her cheeks. After a considerable pause, she finally found her voice. "Mr. Montague Sr, I believe you must have noticed that he doesn't really like me." How could Mr. Montague Sr. not have noticed? Love is not something one could feign, especially when it came to the look in one's eyes. Whenever Selena's name was brought up, Raymond's eyes remained impassive.
