Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 802 Your Affection Is Really Cheap

After Ann and Ronald bailed, Selena got dragged back to that tiny room.

Ann bolted straight to Sky Gallery. She just needed a quick online search to know what Richard looked like, so she grabbed some pics and started hunting him down. Soon enough, she spotted Richard strolling with some chick on his arm, catching bits of their convo.

Ann frowned, thinking, "Can a dude like this really be trusted?"

"Mr. Smith," Ann called out, stopping him in his tracks.

Richard paused, still grinning, "And you are?"

"Ms. Fair got hauled to the police station. She told me to replace you."

"Ms. Fair? Who's that?"

"Selena."

Richard's smile vanished. He let go of the woman's waist, his tone turning serious. "Hop in my car, we'll chat on the way."

Ann jumped in the passenger seat.

Richard shut the door, gripping the wheel. "What the hell happened?"

Ann said, "It's got to do with the Montague family. Or just call Raymond; he knows the deal."

Richard pulled out his phone and dialed Raymond.

Raymond was in a meeting. Seeing the call, he didn't want to pick up but did anyway. "What?"

"Did you know Selena's at the police station?" Richard asked.

Raymond, already in a foul mood, got even more annoyed. "Yeah, so what?"

"It's about the Montague family. Aren't you gonna do something?"

"No," Raymond shot back.

Richard's temper flared. "Raymond, your loyalty is a joke. If you won't do something, I will!"

Raymond's face darkened, his eyes narrowing. "Richard, this is out of your league."

With that, Raymond hung up.

Richard didn't get what he meant until he got to the station and found out he couldn't even get in. Raymond had already told them to keep him out.

He took a deep breath and called Raymond again.

This time, Raymond was on his way, having postponed his meetings.

"Raymond, you planning to keep her in there forever?" Richard asked.

Raymond, driving with one hand, replied, "If you stir up trouble in Silver Bay City, it'll be hard to explain to your dad, right? If I want to stop you, there's nothing you can do." True enough. If Raymond wanted to block him, Richard would have to pull the Smith family strings.

But word would get back to Vistalia, and his dad, George Smith, had warned him to play nice here. Pissing off a big shot like Raymond right away would be a disaster. Richard hated being threatened. "If the Smith family replaces out, so be it. I've done plenty of dumb stuff for women before."

Just as he finished, Raymond's car pulled up in front of him.

Seeing Raymond's face made Richard fume.

"Raymond!" He stormed over.

Raymond stayed cool, just glancing at him. "Richard, if you leave now, I'll get Selena out. Otherwise, she'll rot in there." Richard froze, feeling the tension with Raymond spike. If he really lost it, no one could stop him.

He lowered his eyes, asking, "Are you sure?"

Ann cut in, "Mr. Smith, don't trust him."

Raymond's gaze shifted to her.

He recognized her as Selena's assistant, who also had a beef with him.

Ann didn't like Raymond, always thinking he was just messing with Selena.

She could never forget what happened that day.

Richard, though, just stared at Raymond, then turned to Ann with a smile. "It's cool. If he doesn't get Selena out tonight, we'll be back." Ann had to back down.

After they left, Raymond lit a cigarette, taking his time to calm down.

Once he finished, he walked inside.

Entering the small room where Selena was held, he saw her sitting on the bed, lost in thought.

"Selena, someone's here to bail you out," the guard said.

Hearing this, a spark lit up in Selena's eyes, but when she saw Raymond, her smile faded, turning cold.

The change in her expression was lightning fast.
