Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 616 No Way Out Raymond knew that just spoiling Selena wouldn't suffice; he had to incorporate stough love.

He took a step back and said they wouldn't have sex, just kiss, and she agreed right away.

Selena had been married for three years but didn't realize that sometimes kissing could be more torturous than sex.

Raymond was about to leave, and Selena walked him to the door.

As he was about to get in the elevator, he turned back to remind her.

"Report to my office this afternoon." Selena nodded.

As the elevator doors were about to close, Raymond's long fingers hit the button to open them again and asked another question. "Did you throw away your wedding ring?" Once, Selena had gotten mad at him because of that ring.

Now that Selena was divorced, she should have tossed it, right? Selena never had a wedding ring, so she nodded without hesitation. "I threw it away." Raymond's eyes sparkled with amusement. "See you this afternoon then." He pressed the button for the first floor.

Selena watched the elevator doors close before heading back to her room.

Raymond immediately informed the Stone family that he had found a better partner.

The Stone family panicked instantly, and Olivia even called him several times.

Raymond answered one of the calls, and Olivia's sobbing voice cthrough.

"Raymond, how could you do this? Do you know how important this investment is to the Stone family? You never treatedlike this before..." Raymond gripped the steering wheel with one hand, his eyes cold.

"The moment you used my brother's situation to deceive me, it was over between us." Olivia froze, her face pale. 'He knew.' Raymond had figured it out the night the notebook was burned. He couldn't let anyone use Christopher's situation to manipulate him.

Olivia kept crying and eventually brought up Selena.

"No matter what I did before, you always forgave me. If Christopher were here, he wouldn't let the Stone family go bankrupt. You only don't care aboutbecause you fell for Penny. Are you worthy of the deceased Christopher? He treatedso well; he likedthe most..." Raymond, annoyed, spoke coldly, "Haven't the Stone family benefited enough over the years?" Olivia was speechless, and the voice on the other end grew colder.

"If you keep causing trouble, the Stone family will go bankrupt even faster." Olivia felt like her heart had been torn open, bleeding profusely.

How could she forget that everyone in the Stone family said Raymond was cold and ruthless? She hung up the phone crying and then sent a string of curses to Selena.

Selena found it amusing when she saw it.

She replied: [So I said, the most pathetic one is still you.] Olivia was so mad she almost passed out, but the Stone family desperately needed investment, or they were done for.

Almost everyone in their circle knew Raymond refused to invest in the Stone family. If he wouldn't do it, why would anyone else? Individuals in their circle were best at kicking someone when they're down, not helping out in tough times. So, the Stone family's stock kept dropping, almost hitting rock bottom.

Olivia was on the edge of a breakdown, and other Stone family members started blaming and mocking her.

She locked herself in her room and went nuts, having her subordinates use different numbers to send messages to Selena, repeatedly bringing up Madison, trying to provoke Selena with James's death. But Selena just put her phone on silent and ignored it all.

After all, Olivia was just making desperate moves now.

Seeing that this tactic didn't work, Olivia could only go crazy at home.

But soon, she heard a commotion downstairs.

She rushed downstairs and saw Samantha throwing a document viciously at Nora's face.

Nora was previously just Olivia's father, Orlando Stone's mistress, which everyone knew.

But over the years, because Olivia had gotten close to Raymond and brought many benefits to the Stone family, everyone turned a blind eye.

However, ever since Olivia had Jim take the fall, Samantha had hated Olivia. She secretly had a paternity test done for Olivia.

Olivia wasn't Orlando's daughter at all!

The test results were right there for everyone to see, and Nera, who had been living the good life, was so scared she dropped to her knees. Olivia rushed to her side. "Mom, what are you..." Samantha couldn't hold back and slapped Olivia hard.

"You're not even Orlando's kid. What right do you have to meddle in the Stone family's business? You and your slutty mother need to get out. Who knows where Nora picked you up from!" Olivia's face went pale; she couldn't believe it. She had been thinking about finding other investors, but now she wasn't even Orlando's daughter?

She looked at her father, Orlando, whose face was also grim. He had married Nora because she had a child, but he never expected the child wasn't his. Samantha felt extremely satisfied.

This was exactly what Selena had said, planting the seed of hatred.

At this critical moment, the seed had sprouted.

Samantha stepped forward, grabbed Nora's hair, and slapped her twice.

Just then, Olivia's phone buzzed with a message from Selena.

[Something interesting should happen to the Stone family today. I wonder if Miss Stone can handle it.] Seeing this message, Olivia realized this was the "interesting" thing Selena had mentioned.
