Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 678 This Realization Made His Heart Clench

Selena raised an eyebrow and pressed her lips together.

"Why not call William Montague right now? I know his number. He told me if I ever felt wronged, I should let him know. By the way, Raymond's mad at me because I complain about him to William." She looked so calm that she completely fooled Rachel.

Rachel wasn't known for many virtues, but she knew not to mess with people she couldn't handle.

Her brow furrowed as she threatened, "If you're lying, I can always have you brought back."

Selena stayed silent. She'd said enough to intimidate Rachel.

Whether true or not, Rachel's cautious nature meant she wouldn't act immediately.

She'd investigate first, giving Selena some breathing room.

Sure enough, Rachel ordered her bodyguards to lock Selena up and had her subordinates investigate.

But Rachel's subordinates ran into Greer's men during their investigation.

Greer had just been discharged from the hospital. When he heard Selena was with Rachel, he sent his men to get her.

Rachel knew Greer; they'd met a few times before.

Seeing Greer come for Selena, she assumed what Selena said was true and handed her over.

After being scared by Raymond, Greer didn't dare mess with Selena anymore.

So he met Selena at a restaurant and had his men untie her.

Selena's expression was indifferent. She'd just left Rachel and was now with Greer.

"Ms. Cooper, we had a misunderstanding last time. Let's talk properly today."

Seeing Greer's attitude, Selena knew Rachel's men hadn't told him she was Selena.

Greer took out a check for twenty million dollars and handed over a bottle of medicine.

"This medicine can make someone die quietly. Raymond is usually busy, so a heart attack would seem normal."

He looked at Selena coldly.

"Penny, fooling Raymond shows you're smart. He trusts you, so he'd take what you give him. Once it's done, I'll give you another eighty million dollars, making it a total of one hundred million. That's enough for you to live comfortably. How much can you earn working for Raymond now?"

Selena stayed silent.

Greer sneered. "Raymond saved you last time because he liked you. If he stops liking you, killing you would be as easy as squashing an ant. And you have family and friends. You wouldn't want them in danger, would you?" Selena was already angry and now just wanted to cut ties with the Montague family. But they wouldn't let her go.

Greer continued, "If you don't agree, I'll make sure everyone knows how much Raymond cares about you. He's made countless enemies over the years. Everyone wants to replace his weakness. Women associated with him never have a good ending. Do you think those who want to see him fall wouldn't use you to threaten him?"

"Mr. Montague," Selena said, handing back the check with a calm look. "You think you can buy Raymond's life for a hundred million dollars? Are you trying to insult a beggar?"

A flash of anger crossed Greer's eyes. Did this woman really think she was that important?

Selena added, "Raymond gave me a two-hundred-million-dollar bracelet last time. I sold it for one hundred and fifty million. Now you want me to do something dangerous for just a hundred million? Do you think I'd agree?" Greer's chest heaved with anger.

Raymond was so generous! He casually gave a woman a two-hundred-million-dollar bracelet!

Damn it!

Greer felt both jealous and angry, as if his own money had been spent.

The Montague Group's money belonged to the Montague family. Raymond was too extravagant to stay in that position!

"How much do you want?" he asked.

Selena smiled. "One billion dollars, and you need to pay three hundred million upfront. I guarantee I'll get Raymond to take this medicine."

"You really dare to ask for that much. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you right now?" Greer said.

"Mr. Montague, the more I ask for, the happier you should be. After all, I'm only interested in Raymond's money. The more you give, the more I'll help you," Selena said. Greer hesitated.

He couldn't come up with a billion dollars. After all, he wasn't the CEO of the Montague Group.

But scraping together three hundred million for a deposit, he could manage, though he'd have to live frugally afterward.

"Penny, if you trick me, you'll regret ever being born," Greer said.

When Selena was sent back to Rose Garden, her back was drenched in cold sweat.

It was already ten o'clock. After entering, she locked the door and started gasping for air.

First Rachel, then Greer. Facing two villains in one night, she was lucky to come back in one piece.

She looked at the white bottle in her hand. It had no label and was filled with poison.

In her other hand was a check for three hundred million dollars.

In the end, Greer had agreed.

At the same time, photos of her meeting with Greer had already been sent to Raymond's phone.

Ever since crashing Greer's villa, Raymond had someone keep an eye on him.

Greer wasn't very smart and might do something foolish. But Raymond didn't expect Greer to choose to make a deal with Penny.

The white bottle contained poison and Penny had accepted the check.

Did this mean she agreed to the deal? This realization made his heart clench, his eyes reddening with pain.
