Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1098 The Unloved Are Always Humble

News of Tessa getting hurt while defending Raymond had already spread within their social circle. Compared to Selena's sudden betrayal, Tessa's act of love at a critical moment made everyone question what kind of woman Raymond truly wanted to marry if he didn't care about this.

It certainly couldn't be the missing Selena.

People in the circle were watching closely, and many families had already started reaching out to Raymond.

Now, the entire Montague Group belonged to Raymond. Forming an alliance through marriage would be beneficial for both families.

Raymond received no fewer than ten calls, all subtly suggesting sending someone to intern at the Montague Group to take care of him, almost explicitly offering women to him.

He didn't respond to any of them.

Tessa looked at Raymond with a pitiful expression and asked, "Raymond, how do I fall short compared to Selena?"

Raymond's eyelashes fluttered. He recalled a dream where he had asked Selena how he compared to Christopher. Now, Tessa was asking a similar question, and he saw a shared sense of vulnerability in her eyes.
