Reclaiming Her Heart

The online drama had sucked the White family right into the mess, and with Catherine's past fiasco, it was kinda weird that no one from the White family had hit her up.

Raymond noticed her mood was getting better, so he jumped on the chance to push further. "Make sure you get back early tonight." He shot John a look after saying that.

John got the hint and chimed in, "Mr. Montague, you gotta attend a company meeting too. Elbert's been acting up lately, and with you losing ten percent of your shares, I'm worried he might team up with others to screw you over. It could get messy."

Selena was swapping her shoes when she heard this and froze. "How did ten percent of the shares just vanish?" she asked.

Finally, the big question was out in the open.

Raymond kept quiet, so John stepped in. "Because of Ms. Montague's earlier drama, the rest of the Montague family blamed you. After Mrs. Montague's accident, both she and Ms. Montague pointed fingers at you. Ms. Montague is Elbert's daughter, and to keep the peace, Mr. Montague handed over ten percent of the Montague Group's shares."

Ten percent of the Montague Group's shares!

How much cash was that worth?

Selena was stunned and speechless. Why hadn't she heard about this before?

She could hardly wrap her head around it.

John quickly whipped out the documents and continued, "Ms. Cooper, this is the share transfer agreement Mr. Montague signed. The shares are already in the hands of other Montague family members. Mr. Montague used to hold fifty-five percent of the shares, giving him full control. Now, with ten percent gone, if Elbert teams up with others, the Montague Group's president spot could be at risk."

Before he could finish, Selena rushed over and snatched the contract to check it out.

It was legit-a share transfer agreement.

She turned to Raymond, fuming. "Are you nuts? Do you even get what ten percent of the shares means?"

Raymond stood in the hallway, seeing that John had already called the others away.

In a flash, it was just him and Selena.

Selena had never heard about him giving away shares before, so her shock was real.

Raymond leaned back a bit, his hands casually resting on the hallway cabinet.

"The injury on your back, was it because Grandpa hit you over these shares?" Selena asked.

Raymond nodded.

Selena felt a pang of guilt. Didn't this mean she owed Raymond big time? She originally wanted to kick him out, but now she didn't have the guts and could only rub her temples. "Take care of your injury first," Selena said.

Raymond took the chance to come closer, his tone soft. "Then don't be mad at me. I said from now on, I'd be good only to you."

Selena tried to pull away, but he planted a heavy kiss on her cheek.

"Come back early," he said.

It was like a wife reminding her husband as he left.

Selena had nothing to say.

She opened the door to leave, but Raymond, taking advantage, hugged her waist from behind and said, "If you don't come back, I can wait all night."

selena had planned to crash at Shelley's place. Since Raymond wanted to stay here, she decided to let him stay until he got tired of it.

Unexpectedly, he saw through her plan.

Raymond tightened his grip, pushing her against the cabinet and kissing her hard, taking her breath away.

Selena turned her head away, but he continued down her neck.

"Don't do this," Selena said. Her breathing got shaky, and she had to support herself against the cabinet behind her.
