Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 821 Raymond Picks Up Max

Raymond was out cold, but his phone buzzed and yanked him awake.

He squinted at the screen and saw a post blowing up on social media. "Max is missing?"

Max's goofy face popped into his head immediately.

Yeah, Selena always took him for walks and kept him at Ashbourne Manor.

Raymond jumped out of bed and called John. "Get everyone on it. Selena's freaking out."

No one in Silver Bay City would've guessed a dog could make Raymond this jittery.

Selena had been combing the park for over half an hour with no luck.

The later it got, the more she worried Max had been snatched by dog thieves.

Some of those creeps love to nab lost dogs.

Selena shivered, not just from the rain but from fear for Max.

Max was a special gift; losing him wasn't an option.

She wiped the rain off her face, hopped back in her car, and planned to keep searching along the road.

Just as she was about to hit the gas, a surveillance video popped up on her phone.
