Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 752 The Angry Raymond

So, it was evening, and Richard got a call from a buddy asking him to hit the bar. But, he was all worried about Selena and bombarded her with a bunch of instructions.

"Look, you gotta chill here and get better first. Catherine's not gonna let you off easy. You better come up with a plan, or she'll drag you back once you leave," Richard said. Selena on her own? No way she could take on the Montague family.

When Richard rolled up to the bar, guess who was there? Raymond.

He raised an eyebrow and plopped down next to Caterlington.

Caterlington had hit up Selena earlier, and she spilled the beans, saying she was crashing at Richard's place.

So, when Caterlington saw Richard, he got all snarky. "Mr. Smith, I don't know what kind of sweet talk you fed Penny, but she actually agreed to stay at your villa." Caterlington was trying to mess with Raymond and feel out Richard's vibe at the same time.

Caterlington's love life was even messier than Richard's. He didn't care if a chick was a virgin; he had plenty of flings himself. Asking others to be pure would be straight-up hypocritical. What he dug about Selena were her qualities and vibe.

Raymond wasn't even into this whole gathering thing, but when he heard Caterlington's jab, his eyes locked onto Richard.

Richard didn't need to think twice to figure out Caterlington's game. Sneaky. But he wasn't sweating it; he was planning to tick off Raymond anyway.
