Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 845 So Everyone Hopes He Steps Down

When John wrapped up his spiel, the car rolled to a stop right at the Montague Group's front door.

Raymond hopped out and headed straight to the top floor, where he finally ran into Harry.

Harry didn't really look like the rest of the Montague clan. He was kinda average-looking, nothing to write home about, but his eyes-those were all Elbert, soft but with a hidden edge. In some ways, the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Harry was the first to break the ice. "Raymond, it's been ages. How's life treating you?"

When he first joined the Montague Group, he didn't bother saying hi to Raymond. His gig wasn't big enough to get on Raymond's radar.

After Christopher's accident, everyone figured Harry, with his finance degree, would step up. It was a no-brainer.

But William threw his weight behind Raymond, clearly wanting him to take over Christopher's spot. Christopher had just kicked the bucket, so no one dared to say squat.
