Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1317 Paul is Dead

A day later, Raymond finally received the news.

Paul's car had plunged off a cliff and burned, leaving one charred body that couldn't yet be identified.

The news hit him like a lightning bolt.

Alex spoke rapidly on the other end. "It happened on the way to Ridgefield."

"Did he say why he was going to Ridgefield?"

"No."

Raymond slammed his fist against the wall, taking a deep breath. "Find out who Paul met with recently."

Alex's voice trembled with anxiety, "I did. Before leaving, he only saw Victor and one of his subordinates. Both were in the same car. We still don't know if the body is Paul's or his assistant's it's severely carbonized. We're waiting on DNA results."

Raymond's first instinct was to return home immediately, suspecting Paul might have been caught up in the tasks he'd assigned him. But since his forced departure from Stellaria, all his identification had been restricted. His only option was illegal entry-a crime in itself.

He took a deep breath and contacted his people still in the country to investigate Paul's situation.
