Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 1056 All This Chaos Over One Woman

Richard was seriously worried that if anything happened to Tessa, the family would pin it on him. He couldn't keep Tessa in check anymore, and everyone knew she was the family's favorite, especially their mom, who spoiled her rotten. If something really went down with Tessa, the whole of Silver Bay City would be in chaos.

But Raymond was a tough nut to crack.

Richard quickly dialed Lawrence.

A cold voice answered, "What do you want?"

Hearing that tone, Richard felt a bit uneasy. "Lawrence, you need to come to Silver Bay City."

"Tessa causing trouble again?"

"Yeah, she's stirring things up with Raymond. Didn't you tell me to steer clear of him? Tessa keeps pushing his buttons, and Raymond just called to give me a heads-up."

Lawrence was quiet for a few seconds before asking, "Tessa wants to date Raymond?"

"Yep, but the real issue is Raymond's into a girl named Selena Fair. He's made it pretty clear he likes her."

"Who's Selena?" Lawrence asked.

"She's not from a big family. Her background's kinda messy, but Raymond's into her."

Richard thought Selena was pretty cool too, but he'd never admit it.

Lawrence was silent for a while before saying, "I'll replace time to come over. Mom misses Tessa too."

"Lawrence, be quick."

After hanging up, Richard warned Tessa not to do anything stupid, or she'd be in big trouble when Lawrence showed up.

Over in Vistalia, Lawrence looked at a family photo, gently touching it with his fingertips.

Tessa was always the frail one. She was sick a lot as a kid, and everyone took care of her.

Even though Tessa was spoiled and headstrong, she was still his sister. Blood was thicker than water.

Their mom, Cora, spoiled her the most. Whenever Tessa had a fight with someone, Cora always took her side.

Lawrence rubbed his temples as his phone rang. He picked it up to hear a gentle voice. "Lawrence, I'm thinking of going to Silver Bay City. I'm always worried about Tessa's health."

It was Cora.

Cora loved Tessa more than anyone.

Lawrence flipped through the papers in front of him.

"Mom, Tessa's had a top-notch medical team all these years. The doctors say she's doing much better now. You don't need to worry," Lawrence reassured her.

"How can I not worry about Tessa? I can't even sleep at night," Cora said.

"Mom, I'll be heading to Silver Bay City soon. I have a meeting now," Lawrence said.

"Alright, go ahead," Cora said.

After hanging up, Lawrence got back to work. An hour later, he got a call from Jason.

Lately, Jason had been handing everything over to him. Even though Jason was always a bit hands-off, Lawrence felt like he was even more distant lately, like he had something else on his mind. "Dad," Lawrence answered.

Jason coughed and asked, "Did you meet with the Barnes family last time you were in Silver Bay City?"

Lawrence's eyes showed a hint of thought. Last time in Silver Bay City, Richard had mentioned that Jason wanted him to quickly get into that circle.

Why did Jason want Richard to do that?

"Are you talking about Victor? I'm not really familiar with him," Lawrence replied.

"Lawrence, if you go to Silver Bay City again, be careful," Jason said.

"Dad, I don't get what you mean."

Jason hesitated before finally sighing. "Just do as I say."

Lawrence looked at the stack of papers in front of him and then turned to his assistant. "Book me a flight to Silver Bay City for tomorrow."

"Yes, Mr. Smith."
