Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 608 Do You Really Think I Am Your Fifth Lover?

Not long after, Paul and other friends arrived. As they came in, they said, "Victor has a few surgeries tonight, so he'll probably be very late. Let's start drinking first."

It was still noon, and the chef they had specially hired was busy in the kitchen, preparing food that wouldn't be ready until the afternoon.

Raymond sat in the center chair. Usually, when he attended other people's gatherings, he would sit in an inconspicuous corner because he didn't really want to talk to anyone. Now, sitting in the middle, he occasionally glanced at the door.

Inside, Alex was still directing the servants to decorate. Balloons were being hung up one by one, but the "Happy Birthday" sign hadn't been put up yet. At that moment, the doorbell rang.

A servant went to open the door, and this time it was Selena who came in.

Selena saw several people inside, and even Alex holding balloons. She looked a bit surprised but didn't ask much and walked straight toward Raymond.

Raymond appeared calm. There were a dozen types of drinks on the coffee table, and he casually picked up a glass, asking indifferently, "Why are you here so early?"

"Mr. Montague." Selena called out, then softly said, "I came to ask Mr. Montague for a favor."

Raymond's eyes subtly scanned her, not seeing any gift. He thought, 'Is it in her bag?'

His brow furrowed. "What favor?"

Selena sat beside him and explained Rachel's situation, also mentioning Austin.

His face immediately darkened.

"So, you came to me because of Austin?"

Selena knew he had a bad temper and that she wasn't in a position to ask for his help, but maybe he would agree.

She held onto that sliver of hope.

"Mr. Montague, you surely know about Rachel's notorious name. Austin is definitely in danger, so I..."

"Penny, do you know what day it is today?"

Selena stiffened as she looked around and sensed the festive atmosphere.

This festivity even carried a hint of tackiness, and she immediately guessed.

"Is someone proposing?"

Hearing this, Raymond sneered.

Paul and Alex, who were closest to them, also glanced at Selena.

Raymond laughed for a while, ignoring the pain in his heart, and put down his glass.

"Who do you think you are, thinking I would help you save him? What do you take me for?"

His tone suddenly rose with the last sentence.

Alex quickly climbed down from the ladder and stopped Raymond when he saw things going wrong. "Raymond, let it go."

Selena was also startled by his sudden harshness and couldn't help but take a step back.

Raymond felt a heavy thud in his heart as he saw her fear.

After a full minute of silence, he took out his phone and called Rachel.

"Let Austin go."

Rachel didn't expect Raymond to call personally for Austin, and she quickly stood up in shock.

"Mr. Montague."

But Raymond had already hung up and even kicked over the table beside him, spilling drinks everywhere and making a mess.

Selena fell silent, while Raymond grabbed her wrist and instructed Alex, "You guys continue."

Alex wanted to stop him but saw Paul shaking his head.

Paul and Raymond had gone through something together last night, and he knew Raymond was already in a bad mood. And now Selena had come personally to ask Raymond to save Austin, which only further enraged Raymond. Alex quickly smiled at the others. "Sorry, I'll have the servants clean up. We'll eat together later."

Raymond dragged Selena upstairs. When she saw the door being locked, she became alarmed.

But the next second, Raymond had already grabbed her and thrown her onto the bed.

He pressed down on her, biting her lips.

"Do you really think I'm your fifth lover? Do you think I'll do whatever you say?"

Selena was in pain from the biting and tried to retreat, but there was a wall behind her, leaving her no room to escape.

Raymond pulled her back. "I told you, but you didn't remember!"

'And she even asked if someone is proposing. Damn it! Didn't I say yesterday that it is my birthday?' he thought. Suppressing his anger, he asked, "Where's my gift?"
