Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 800 Relinquishing Power

Outside the police station, word about the Montague Manor mess spread like wildfire through the Montague clan. Before this, William had already booted Greer out of Silver Bay City, and with Mia's drama, now it was Catherine's turn. The whole Montague family was losing it.

Raymond got a call from a servant at Montague Manor while he was stuck in a meeting.

Catherine was in the hospital, barely hanging on.

Mia, in shock, was talking nonsense.

"Who did it?" Raymond asked.

"It was Selena! Selena lost it!"

Raymond froze, thinking he misheard. "Who?"

"Selena! Selena came to see Ms. Montague and Mrs. Montague today. They had a fight, and in a rage, she shoved Mrs. Montague down the stairs and smashed Ms. Montague with a vase. When we walked in, she was still holding the vase." Selena couldn't have done such a thing, but the servant kept insisting. "We called the cops. Selena's with them now. Mr. Montague, do you want to go to the hospital to see Mrs. Montague?" That was Raymond's mom.

His face darkened, and after hanging up, he cut the meeting short.

He rushed back to his office, grabbed his coat, and headed for the elevator without a second thought.

As he was about to get in the car, he called the others. "Don't let Grandpa know about this yet."

William had been through too much lately. With both Catherine and Mia in trouble now, who knew if he could handle it.

Raymond headed straight to the hospital.

Catherine was still in the ER, barely hanging on.

Mia had been sedated by the doc and was getting stitches on her forehead.

The scar would be long and noticeable even after it healed.

She was so vain; it would mess with her future big time.

Raymond could never have guessed that Mia had orchestrated the whole thing herself. She paid the highest price, just to make sure Selena and he were done for good!

Raymond stood in the hallway, and soon other Montague family members showed up. Everyone agreed to keep this from William.

Elbert was the first to speak up, "I heard it was Selena, Raymond. What are you gonna do to get back at her? Make her rot in prison?"

With Greer out of the picture, it was Elbert's time to shine.

He was more patient than Greer and wouldn't show his hand until he was sure.

Now, all of this was a golden opportunity for Elbert.

He had already dug up that Raymond cared about Selena. The two had been tangled up recently, and he wouldn't let Selena go to prison. But if Selena didn't go to prison, how would he calm down the rest of the Montague family?

Mia was Elbert's kid, and Elbert's crew needed the most smoothing over.

Grace jumped in too, "If Selena's involved, we can't let her off the hook this time. Raymond, if you can't be tough, we'll handle it!"

Grace had a serious grudge against Selena. The whole hiding-her-identity thing made her feel like a fool.

The hospital hallway was buzzing and chilly.

Raymond leaned against the wall, like an ice statue finally thawing out.

Now he was the Montague family's golden boy, and everyone was waiting for his call.

If he wanted to save Selena, the rest of the Montague clan would flip out.

"Elbert, Grace, we need to dig deeper into this," Raymond said.

As expected, Elbert shot back, "How do you plan to investigate? The servants at Montague Manor all say it was Selena. Plus, your mom and she never got along. It's not surprising she'd snap." No one in the Montague family, except William, liked Selena.

Raymond's eyes narrowed, and he let out a mocking laugh. "She won't go to prison, but I'll give up ten percent of my Montague family shares. Elbert, Grace, you want them?"

Everyone was clawing for Montague family shares.

As the heir, Raymond had the lion's share.

Raymond held fifty-five percent of the shares, giving him the upper hand in the company. William had just taken back shares from Greer, now holding fifteen percent, while the rest of the Montague family had a total of twenty percent. Besides that, there were ten percent of scattered shares.

If Raymond gave up ten percent of his shares, his spot as president of the Montague Group would be shaky.

Elbert's eyes widened. He thought Raymond would only offer five percent to settle this, but ten percent? That was a game-changer.

This was like handing over the Montague Group presidency on a silver platter!

If Elbert could gather enough shares to top Raymond's remaining forty-five percent, Raymond would be out as president.

The ten percent offer left everyone speechless.

Raymond checked his watch. "Anything else?"

After a long pause, Grace asked softly, "Do you know what ten percent of the shares means?"

"I know," Raymond replied. As soon as he finished, Grace slapped him.

The slap echoed, and she snarled, "You know and still dare to make such a promise? Have you forgotten how you got this position? This isn't just your spot; it's yours and Christopher's together!"
