Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 839 Is He Planning to Stay

Aria's eyes were burning with resentment, but she wasn't the White Family's golden child, so she couldn't just flex their connections.

Plus, Selena had Raymond in her corner. If she tried to mess with Selena, Raymond would definitely hit back hard.

She had planned to use public opinion to bankrupt Selena, but now she was the one in hot water.

"That bitch!" She spat out the words in her room and quickly dialed someone from Vistalia.

"Ms. Smith, you said your second brother's in Silver Bay City, right? Can you get him to help me out? The chick with Raymond is too slick, using public opinion against me," Aria said. Tessa's voice was all sweet and sugary, but she was losing her patience. "Aria, you still haven't dealt with her?"

Aria said, "Sorry, she's a real piece of work."

Tessa frowned. "Alright, I'll call my second brother and have him reach out. But with a brain like yours, you'll need to step up your game if you want to marry my eldest brother." Feeling humiliated, Aria was embarrassed. But thinking of that cold, aloof face she remembered, her heart raced.

Aria believed that if she could eliminate Selena and bring joy to Tessa, she would finally be able to be with that man.

She was still daydreaming, clueless about the online storm brewing, even the White Family was trending. Aria soon got a call from home.

She wasn't that important in the White Family, and now causing such a mess, she'd definitely get blamed.

"I'll handle it soon, Mom, don't worry. By this afternoon, these trending topics will be gone," Aria assured.

"Aria, don't drag the White Family into this. If it attracts an investigation, we'll all be in trouble. Things are tense lately, everyone needs to lay low," the other part said.

"I know, I'll calm this down quickly," Aria replied.

After hanging up, she rushed to replace Richard.

At nine in the morning, Selena just came out of her room. When she got downstairs, she saw Fiona asking Raymond, "Mr. Montague, how's the porridge?" "Not bad," Raymond replied.

The two seemed to be getting along, which made Selena a bit uneasy.

"Mr. Montague, it's time for you to leave," Selena said.

She bluntly told him to go. Seeing his cheeks weren't as red, she knew his fever had broken. Even John had come over, apparently to bring clothes for Raymond. Raymond put down the spoon and as he stood up, he held his head like he might faint.

Selena's expression changed and thought, 'What's this? Is he planning to stay?'

John quickly chimed in, "Ms. Cooper, Mr. Montague's still very weak. He probably needs to rest here for a few days. As an apology, we've brought gifts." He pointed to the corner.

There were several large boxes, undoubtedly filled with luxury items.

With the gifts and such a good attitude, if Selena still kicked them out, it would seem heartless, especially since Raymond was still recovering.

She just felt something blocking her heart, making her uncomfortable.

She sat down at the dining table, and Raymond immediately pushed a bowl of porridge toward her.

"Selena, this is pretty good, you should try it," he said.

Selena felt annoyed and stood up. "You eat it yourself."

She grabbed her bag, planning to head to the office.

While changing shoes at the entrance, Raymond followed her, asking calmly, "When will you be back?"

He said like he was planning to wait for her return.

Selena felt her anxiety spike. William used to ask him to come here, but he avoided it like the plague. Now, however, he was clinging to it. She just replied, "Later, I've been really busy."

The company's issues were really weighing her down and she didn't want to argue with him.

"The White Family's problems? I've already talked to them," Raymond said.

Selena was a bit surprised. No wonder the White Family had been so quiet.
