Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 886 Am I That Insignificant to You?

Selena was about to snap back but then remembered her promise to Richard.

She'd already taken his favor, and Austin was off in Hollywood, yet here she was, laughing it up with Raymond.

She looked down, gripping the bedsheet tight, feeling like the worst kind of person.

But she had to face it; she couldn't beat Tessa.

Selena said, "You don't know him."

Raymond asked, "You haven't slept with him, right?"

Selena shook her head slightly, "No."

Raymond's tone was cold, and his eyes were just as icy. He stared at her, emotions swirling.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were calm. "If we hook up a few more times, will you forget about him?"

Selena still said, "No."

One of Raymond's hands hung by his side. Hearing this, his fingertips curled slightly. Though he smirked, his eyes stayed cold. "Really? Compared to him, am I that worthless to you?"

Selena didn't want to keep talking, but she had to remember her promise to Richard.

Selena said casually, "Mr. Montague, if you want to compare yourself to him, then yeah, you don't measure up."

Raymond kicked over the cabinet beside them. He looked at her in disbelief, even hurt.

Selena didn't meet his eyes, just kept her head down.

Raymond didn't curse or question her. He just stood there for a long time, until his legs felt numb and painful. After a while, he let out a mocking laugh and turned to leave, like he was never coming back.

The last time someone said that to him was when Christopher was still around.

Catherine and Abigail always said Raymond couldn't compare to Christopher.

They always said, "Christopher does everything better than you."

"Raymond, if you were born into another family, you'd be great too, but Christopher is just too amazing."

"You got a perfect score because you crammed for the test. Christopher got a perfect score because the test only had that many points. If there were a thousand points, ten thousand points, he could get them all, but you definitely couldn't." When Christopher died, everyone, even Catherine and Abigail, thought Raymond was jealous of Christopher.

Everyone in Silver Bay City said Raymond could even harm his own brother, so don't mess with him; he's a madman.

He'd carried this accusation for years, up to now.

Raymond's biggest dream was to no longer be compared to Christopher.

He was just Raymond, not Christopher's brother.

Selena's words brought back bad memories, making him realize he was being compared to Christopher again.

Raymond was furious. 'Am I really that terrible?'

He felt like every cell in his body was burning up, ready to evaporate all the water inside him. When he got back to the car, he took out a cigarette, wanting to light it.

But he was too agitated, and the lighter wouldn't catch.

After a long while, he broke the cigarette and threw it into the nearby trash can.

In the evening, he took a private jet to Vistalia.

When he arrived, he was greeted by a dozen black cars, and the surrounding area had been cleared.

He got into the front Bentley, leaned back in the seat, and closed his eyes to rest.

When they arrived at a magnificent building, a voluptuous woman came out to greet him personally.

Helen Hill held a beautiful fan in her hand, walking in a way that tugged at a man's heartstrings. "Raymond, it's been so long since you last came."

Raymond handed his suit to the bodyguard behind him and unbuttoned a few buttons on his shirt.

He didn't respond to Helen, but she naturally linked her arm with his.

Helen asked, smiling, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

He pulled his hand away and walked into the building without looking at her.
