Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 869 Can't Win Your Woman Back

William was chillin' on the couch, saw Raymond walk in, and just pointed to the dining table, "Grab some grub. Now spill the tea on Elbert and what's up with Vertex Automotive Group."

Raymond couldn't even think about food and plopped down next to him, "Gramps, you don't gotta stress about this."

William grabbed his cane and gave him a whack, "I don't wanna stress, but you're turning our Montague Family into a circus! What the hell are you doing? Can't win your girl back, can't run the company!" Raymond took the hit, fuming inside. "I tried. But Richard dangled three Hollywood roles in front of her, and she sold me out!"

William paused, looking confused. "That cheap?"

The word "cheap" hit Raymond hard. He'd offered Selena ten percent of the Montague Group's shares, worth way more than a few Hollywood roles.

But when Richard made his offer, she barely hesitated.

All Raymond's anger turned into helplessness, and he looked down. "Gramps, don't worry about the company. Elbert's been itching to make a move, just waiting for a chance."

William stayed quiet, knowing Raymond's ways. He sighed, "What about the deal with Vertex Automotive Group?"

Raymond shrugged, "It's all smoke and mirrors. Vertex Automotive Group is owned by a buddy of mine in Vistalia. The so-called boss is just a front."

Nobody knew this, and when Elbert teamed up with the Vertex boss to trap Raymond, they didn't realize they were already in his trap.

Raymond had been itching to get back the shares Elbert held and would create an opportunity if there wasn't one.

William squinted, gave him a once-over, and waved him off, "Alright, if the company's sorted, get outta here. I don't wanna see you." Raymond stood up, hesitated, and then asked, "Gramps, why'd you push me to marry Selena back then?"

Was it just 'cause she saved William? It made sense but felt kinda off.

William was already up, clearly done talking.

When Raymond got back to his car, for the first time, he didn't know where to go.

He drove around aimlessly and ended up at Ashbourne Manor.

It was only 4 PM, and Selena was probably still at work. If he went in now, he wouldn't see her.

Raymond got out and went into Ashbourne Manor. Fiona opened the door for him.

He headed to the bedroom, opened the closet, and started packing his clothes.

Fiona came over, looking puzzled. "Mr. Montague, you moving out?"

Raymond nodded, "Yeah."

Fiona asked, "Does Ms. Fair know?"

Raymond nodded again, "Yeah."

He'd already put three suits on the bed when he noticed a box deep in the closet. He couldn't help but ask, "Fiona, ever seen her take this box out? What's in it?"

Fiona thought for a sec, "Not really sure. Ms. Fair didn't come here much before. Even when you were married, she only brought Max over. If it weren't for Max, she probably wouldn't have come at all." Raymond looked at the box but decided not to open it.

He called John to come and take all the clothes away.

Seeing he was serious, Fiona quietly called Selena, "Ms. Fair, Mr. Montague is packing his suits. Looks like he's moving out."

Selena had already changed and was scrolling through the internet, reading all the nasty comments about S.M Corporation. Her Facebook comments had blown past fifty thousand, and even Austin was getting roasted. Selena quickly said, "Fiona, we're divorced. He shouldn't be living there. I'm busy at work."

Fiona heard the phone click off and felt like their roles had flipped.

Now Selena was the workaholic, and Raymond seemed to have more free time.

'Is Mr. Montague freeing up time to chase Ms. Fair?' The thought seemed crazy even to Fiona.

But if he wasn't chasing her, why move into his ex-wife's house?
