Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 749 Raymond Warns Catherine

His eyes were like ice, cold and deep, and when he looked at Catherine, you couldn't quite tell what he was feeling. Richard wasn't as jaded as he seemed.

He hung around the painting with everyone else for a bit, made some small talk, and then bounced.

When he got back to the car, Selena was already in the back seat.

They drove back to his villa, and he carried Selena up to the second floor himself.

He called a maid to give her a bath, put some medicine on her forehead, and then had a doctor check her out. "She's just really freaked out; no need to worry," the doc said.

Richard let out a breath of relief, but thinking about the Montague family's antics made him fume.

How could they pull such a nasty trick on Selena!

Catherine finally saw everyone off and quickly asked the bodyguards, "Did you replace her?"

"Mrs. Montague, we haven't found her."

"Useless! How can someone just vanish? Keep looking! Search every inch if you have to, but replace her!" She couldn't let her plan flop.

Just as she finished, Raymond's voice came from behind her, "What are you looking for?"

Catherine stiffened in fear. 'Why is he back?'

"Raymond, what brings you back today?" Catherine asked..

He hadn't been home in ages.

Raymond's face was indifferent as he glanced around. "Father said you've been causing chaos lately."

And it was weird for Catherine to be throwing a party at noon.

Catherine swallowed nervously, scared he'd replace out about her tormenting Selena. "It's all because your father is divorcing me."

Raymond irritably tugged at his tie and was about to head upstairs for some documents when he saw a snake slithering out from a corner.

"Why is there a snake in the villa?" Raymond asked.

The place was fumigated every three days to keep out pests, so a snake showing up meant someone put it there on purpose.

Catherine quickly had the snake caught and explained, "Maybe the fumigation guy's been slacking off."

Raymond wanted to check where the snake came from, but Catherine blocked him.

Even though Selena was gone, if Raymond noticed anything fishy, it would be hard to cover up.

If everything had gone as planned today, she wouldn't be scared of him replaceing out. By then, Selena would have been violated, and she didn't think proud Raymond would still want her after that. But not now.

"Raymond, what are you doing back today?" Catherine asked.

Raymond didn't really care about her recent antics. Her question reminded him, and he went straight upstairs.

As soon as he left, Catherine quickly told her bodyguard, "Make sure to keep those things locked up!"

"Got it," the bodyguards replied.

Raymond soon came back down with the documents, and as if remembering something, he stopped and asked, "I heard from someone that Selena went missing, and you called me about her. Mom, did you capture her?" Catherine's face froze. "Why? Do you care about her?"

Raymond replied, "I don't care, but Grandpa likes her. No matter how worthless she is, if Grandpa replaces out you hurt her, you and Father will definitely get divorced."

Divorce was Catherine's biggest fear. She immediately screamed, "That's why I want you to help convince your father not to divorce me!"

"Let Selena go."

"Impossible! I want that bitch ruined!"

She didn't bother pretending anymore, thinking all her problems were because of Barbara and Selena.

Seeing her crazed state, Raymond frowned. He couldn't be bothered with it anymore, his eyes cold. "Do what you want. Just make sure Grandpa doesn't replace out." Otherwise, the Montague family would be in chaos.

He didn't care about Catherine's mess, and he cared even less about Selena's.

But William had already taken several hits, and with Mia also in trouble, who knew how long he could hold on.

"Take care of yourself," Raymond said.

Catherine stood there and suddenly said, "Raymond, we must stay away from Barbara. They only bring bad luck."

"Mom, I'm just reminding you, either don't do it, or if you do, make sure to clean up all the loose ends," Raymond said. His impatience was clear, and he left immediately.
