Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 740 Directly Made Raymond Angry

On the flip side, Raymond rolled back to Manston Manor. Not spotting Selena, he gave her a ring.

Selena had just hit the door of the private room, away from the dance floor, and it was pretty chill around her. "Mr. Montague." "Where'd you disappear to?" Raymond asked.

She wanted to say she was at the bar but worried Raymond would show up if she did, so she fibbed. "Working late." "Take care of yourself," Raymond said.

They'd both been running on fumes these past few days, and now she was pulling overtime again. Could she handle it? "Mr. Montague, thanks for your concern," Selena said.

Hearing her all formal, Raymond felt a bit off, like they hadn't hooked up the night before.

Raymond's eyes darkened, and he reluctantly hung up.

Just as he plopped down on the sofa, the doorbell rang.

He thought it was Selena coming back and rushed to open the door.

But it was William standing there.

Since the Manston Manor reno was done, this was William's first visit.

"Grandpa," Raymond greeted.

William looked around, a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Nice job on the house," William said.

Raymond didn't say anything and had the servant bring some tea.

William sat on the sofa and sighed. "Grace said Mia's been sleep-talking all day, but when I asked what Mia said, she wouldn't spill. She said we'd replace out when Mia wakes up. Raymond, did you see anyone else at the building?" Raymond's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Mia had mentioned something about Penny.

If William knew Mia's situation was tied to Penny, he wouldn't let it slide.

"No," Raymond replied.

William said, "The government's already digging into the kidnappers' IDs, but they're all illegal immigrants. Lately, there's been a lot of heat at the border, and there are folks inside the country helping them; otherwise, they wouldn't have scored so many guns."

Raymond listened quietly, but his mind was elsewhere.

He glanced down and saw a message from Alex: [Ran into Penny at the bar. She wants to see Richard.]

Alex's message made Raymond furious.

Raymond kept his cool, but with William still there, he had to play it calm.

"Raymond?" William called him several times, but seeing him zoned out, William frowned. "What's on your mind?" Raymond lowered his eyes. "Grandpa, there are people specifically handling this."

"Those guys weren't after Christopher; they went to Ridgefield. What do you think they were after?" William asked.

"I don't know." Raymond said this, but the image of Penny digging something up flashed in his mind.

After they left the building, Penny went there to dig something up. Did she know some inside scoop?

If those guys weren't after Christopher's research, then what were they after?

They took over a hundred hostages, and Penny was among them, brought over from Silver Bay City.

Raymond's lips tightened. 'If this is really tied to Penny, then who is she? Just a designer?'

He immediately stood up, grabbed his coat, and was about to leave.

William watched his back and warned, "If you're leaving for a woman, I'll break your legs."

"Grandpa, I'm going to replace Paul. He caught a live bandit but hasn't gotten any useful info yet," Raymond replied. William relaxed.

He thought so; his most promising grandson wouldn't lose it over a woman.

Raymond floored it and headed straight for the bar.

In the bar, Selena had already sketched the jellyfish tattoo and placed it in front of Richard.

"Mr. Smith, seen this?" Selena asked.

Richard glanced at it and raised his eyebrows in surprise. "BK?"

"Mr. Smith, you know about it?"

"I've only heard of it, an assassination outfit. But after some incident years ago, they've been off the radar."

"What happened to them?" Selena asked.

Richard chuckled, resting his chin on one hand, smiling at Selena. "I don't know, but I'd advise you not to dig. About twenty years ago, the rich in Vistalia got a shake-up because BK took out the world's richest family, wiping them off the top of the wealth charts. Because of that, BK was hunted by almost every police force in the world. Anyone tied to them met a bad end; they're all seriously dangerous people."
