Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 773 I Will Definitely Choose Her

Catherine knew it was true, but she didn't wanna mess things up with him.

She only had one son now, and if things got ugly, Donovan would hate her even more.

Catherine snapped back, "What do you mean I took her for an abortion? You two weren't even divorced then. You said it wasn't your kid and you never touched her. Of course, I believed you. Should I have let a bastard be born? And didn't Selena call you? You admitted it in front of her."

As the past came flooding back, he realized just how many stupid things he'd done.

The bitterness in his heart blew up, and he could barely stop himself from kicking over the coffee table.

Catherine's words left him with no comeback.

Raymond said, "Fine, I messed up. But what's with her hairpin showing up at Montague Manor? You knew she was Penny, the girl I liked, and you still tried to cover it up, didn't you?" "Raymond, I didn't."

"Shut up!"

Raymond had heard when he got back that Catherine was super pissed at Selena and treated her like crap.

Back then, he didn't care about Selena, his so-called wife, and couldn't be bothered.

But now that he knew the truth, all those things he ignored and hated had come back to bite him.

Catherine was so scared she didn't dare say another word.

Raymond's voice turned icy. "If you mess with her again, I won't be nice. Believe me, between you and her, I'll always pick her."

Then he quickly added, "No matter if she's right or wrong."

After hanging up, he sat on the sofa, dazed.

John was nearby, probably having heard the rumors, and was in shock too. 'Penny is Selena, the ex-wife who married and divorced the boss?' "John, in twenty minutes, I want everything on Selena, every detail. I need to know it all," Raymond said, his voice hoarse and eyes red with anger.

John couldn't believe it either, so he quickly went to dig up info.

Soon, a stack of papers was in front of Raymond. But he didn't dare open it. Even after everything tonight, he still hoped Selena wasn't Penny. His fingers stiffened, and after a long time, he slowly opened the documents on the coffee table.

When she went to high school, when she went to college, when she married him.

He didn't go to the courthouse; she went alone to get the marriage certificate.

When they divorced, he didn't go to the courthouse either; she went alone to get the divorce certificate. He couldn't imagine the ridicule she faced. Raymond's lips were pressed tight, and he remembered all the nasty things he said about Selena to her face. Now he wished he could slap himself. His eyes couldn't hide the deep rage, and the occasional flashes of red showed just how bad his mood was.

But he kept it in, like a boiling pot with a lid on it-calm on the surface, but a storm underneath.

The doorbell at Manston Manor rang. He opened the door to see Alex rushing in.

When Alex saw him, he finally felt like he wasn't dreaming. He looked even more wrecked than Raymond.

"Penny is Selena? The Selena we've been talking trash about? Your ex-wife?" Alex asked.

Damn it, so many people, and no one thought to check her identity.

Then Alex froze. He got why no one checked-because they knew Raymond was just messing around with her.

To be blunt, none of them took Penny seriously, thinking Raymond would get bored eventually.

And Raymond himself had said as much.

But now, how were they supposed to fix this mess?
