Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1320 Raymond's Foreign Gambit

Raymond's position had grown precarious. With his influence in Stellaria severely restricted, intelligence came to him at a glacial pace.

Paul's death still didn't sit right with him, but he couldn't risk calling. Ralph remained unconscious. If authorities discovered Paul's connection to Raymond-now labeled a fugitive even if Paul were alive, he'd face prosecution.

Logic dictated Raymond should stay put and wait for news, but if Paul had truly died because of their association, how could he remain detached?
