Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 856 Raymond is Mine

Selena stared at the wine in front of her, not saying a word. Richard reached over and gave her a light pat on the head.

"Look," Richard started, "my brother's got this icy vibe. He's either chewing me out or spoiling my sister. Penny, even if Raymond screws up, he's got the chops to bounce back and start a new gig. Even if he's not the big boss, places like Wealth Light Valley Street and Silicon Valley would still roll out the red carpet for him. The guy's a genius, a rising star in the biz world. He ain't gonna lose that shine. The media in Vistalia love him not 'cause he's a Montague, but 'cause he's Raymond. Simple as that."

Selena kept quiet, and Richard figured she still didn't get it.

He went on, "Remember that underground fight club I told you about? You can trade anything there; it's the most notorious gray zone in Vistalia. That's Raymond's turf. The Smith Family tried to snag it but flopped. Other big families fought over it too. When everyone was beat, Raymond swooped in and took over. So, my brother warned me not to mess with him. We might not know much about Raymond, but you and him? Different worlds."

Richard pulled out a handkerchief and wiped Selena's cheek. She'd just left the hospital, looking all frail, and her nose was sweaty from rushing over.

"So," Richard added, "just focus on running your own company. Don't sweat Raymond. Just make sure you're living the good life."
