Reclaiming Her Heart

Raymond didn't say anything, he just opened the door and left.

Back at the Montague Villa, everything was white, and there were still people keeping vigil.

He ignored the people in the hall, went upstairs, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then set off to collect William's ashes.

He didn't call anyone the entire time, placed the ashes in the passenger seat, and then contacted the burial staff to prepare for William's interment.

The burial was scheduled for noon. Raymond and other members of the Montague family waited by the gravesite under the strong afternoon sun.

It wasn't until the last shovelful of dirt was placed that Raymond stopped mourning William. He glanced at William's photo on the tombstone, stood up, and left.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

The remaining Montague family members stood there, all thinking Raymond was too cold. He wasn't at the memorial service, hadn't cried in the past few days, and not a single tear was seen today. "Sure enough, Raymond could never understand family bonds better than Christopher."

"With the Montague Group in his hands, who knows what our fate will be."

"Raymond's uncles have both been sent away; who can challenge him now? If only Christopher could come back."

"Come on, a dead man can't come back."

They stood together, all dressed in black, chatting.

Carter observed the group as they extolled Christopher's virtues, a hint of irony in his eyes.

When Christopher was alive, these same people were envious of him, questioning how one family could produce two geniuses.

They had been very critical of William's early decision to name Christopher as the heir, but now they all mourned his loss. Carter looked up at the sky and sighed.

He was sad about William's death but more worried about what Raymond would do next.

Selena was involved in William's death, and now the circle was abuzz with talk about whether Raymond would cut ties with Selena. Many were even eager to introduce women to Raymond. Those families that had long wanted to marry into the Montague family, upon learning that Selena had caused William's death, immediately sent their daughters to meet Raymond. But Raymond had recently turned off his phone and hadn't seen anyone.

When Raymond returned to Manston Manor, John was already there waiting respectfully.

"Mr. Montague," John called out and followed Raymond to the study.

Once the study door was closed, John placed all the documents on the desk.

"These are the whereabouts of those people. Additionally, Harry took advantage of Mr. William Montague's death to embezzle all the money from a project and fled Silver Bay City," he reported. Previously, Elbert and Harry had lost everything, not only losing all their shares but also selling off their assets, and would live in poverty from then on.

He thought Harry had sensibly left Silver Bay City, but it turned out he had taken $40 million during William's death.

"Mr. Montague, Harry's escape location overlaps with the retreat positions of these people. Ms. Fair might also be where Harry is. Should we go look for her?" John asked. Currently, the circle was abuzz with rumors that Selena was involved in William's death, but John didn't quite believe it.

After asking the question, John saw that Raymond's face showed no expression.

After a long time, Raymond finally said, "Track Harry's location."

But he didn't mention anything about Selena.

John originally wanted to ask if they should look for Selena, but seeing Raymond's cold expression, he held back his words.
