Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 846 Raymond Needs a Fall to Wake Up

Vertex Automotive Group teaming up with Stellaria's company? That was got everyone buzzing.

The boss at Vertex had always been this untouchable figure. Even when they did work with Stellaria before, it never lasted more than six months. But now? They're betting the whole future of Vertex on this deal. If Raymond pulled this off, the Montague Group's profits will skyrocket way past anything William's ever done.

But winning? That was gonna cost him big time.

Vertex was going all in. They said if Raymond can snag five percent of their shares, he wins. He was basically betting his own company. Nuts, right?

And Raymond agreeing to this? Dude was gotta be out of his mind.

It was like watching two billionaire titans duke it out, and the fallout could shake up both countries' economies.

So when Grace heard Raymond signed the deal, she thought he was totally off his rocker.

Sure, he wanted to look good in William's eyes, but this was just insane!

Plus, who even knew what was really going on with Vertex Automotive Group?

Grace was ready to talk some sense into Raymond, but when she got to his office, he was gone.

Turns out, Raymond had jetted off at noon to sign the deal in person, invited by Vertex's boss.

Grace went pale and tried calling him, but no luck. As she left the office, she ran into Elbert. Elbert was all smiles. "Grace, I heard Raymond went abroad to sign the deal?"

Elbert had been bugging Grace for her shares, offering all sorts of tempting deals.

But Grace had watched Raymond grow up and didn't want to see him crash and burn. "Yeah," Grace replied.

"Raymond's being reckless. Vertex never reveals their share structure. If they're offering this deal, they must be sure Raymond can't pull it off. If he loses, he has to give up another twenty percent of his shares," said Elbert. That was the deal. Lose, and Raymond gave up twenty percent more.

He had already down ten percent. Another twenty, and he would be left with just twenty-five percent. Elbert could easily overtake him then.

Vertex's boss and Raymond are going at it, betting shares. No one else in the business world would dare play this big.

Grace saw Elbert's glee and worried he was mixed up in this.

"Elbert, Greer's already left Silver Bay City, and you've got plenty of shares. Soon, lots of folks at Montague Group will have to listen to you. No need to push Raymond to the edge," she said. Elbert just kept smiling, like he didn't get it. "Grace, this is Raymond's choice. If Vertex wins, he's out as president of Montague Group."

Then Elbert would replace a way to grab all of Raymond's shares.

Grace went quiet as Elbert moved closer.

"So, have you decided? I offered you a sweet deal, and you still don't want to sell me your shares?" he asked.

Grace's face fell, and after a long pause, she forced a smile. "Elbert, give me a few more days."

Grace was also fed up with Raymond's drama with Selena. Anyone could see Selena was bad news, causing all sorts of trouble. Any other woman would be better.

What really got to Grace was the situation with Mia. She'd watched Mia grow up, and Selena had turned the Montague family upside down.

Sometimes Grace thought maybe Raymond needed to hit rock bottom to wake up.

He was got mad business skills. Even if he crashed now, he would bounce back. But the cost? It was gonna be steep.
