Reclaiming Her Heart

After the man left the room, he headed to another one.

Several people were already waiting for him there. It was clear he was the highest- ranking among them.

"Sir, the three factions are searching quickly. We won't be able to hold out much longer."

Two weeks was the best they could manage, even with everyone giving their all.

The man slowly set down his teacup, lightly tapping the lid with his fingertip.

"Then inform Christopher. If he doesn't take this chance to kill Raymond, he can forget about controlling that body in the future."

The person standing before him didn't understand what he meant by "controlling that body."

The man chuckled softly, his eyes inscrutable. "Just tell him that. Also, make sure to give this to Christopher."

It was a bracelet, one that William had given to Selena years ago, though she had never worn it. Coincidentally, during the few days she was on good terms with Raymond, she had worn the bracelet and told Raymond it was a gift from William.

Now, the man was giving this bracelet to Christopher, clearly hoping he would use it to stir up trouble.

He could then hide behind these people, doing nothing, and watch them tear each other apart.

The bracelet was quickly taken away.

The man gazed into the distance, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Christopher's alter ego received the box while handling business on the top floor of the Montague Group.

The receptionist brought the box up, saying, "Mr. Montague, the courier said this is from Ms. Fair."

Christopher's alter ego was a bit surprised and immediately opened the box, finding the bracelet inside.

He had seen it on Selena's wrist before. It was sent by the person who had taken Selena.

Christopher's alter ego narrowed his eyes, a cold smile forming.

Shortly after, he received a text message.

Unknown: [Mr. Montague, you should take this time to claim ownership of the body fully.]

The message made his gaze turn icy.

He looked towards the Montague Group's CEO office, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

Whoever was orchestrating all this knew more than anyone else.

But for now, his main concern was how to use the bracelet.

Holding the bracelet between his fingers, his eyes were filled with madness.

He took a photo of the bracelet and sent it to his people.

These were the forces he had cultivated in Vistalia over the past six years while Christopher was missing. Christopher's alter ego hadn't been idle.

Over the years, he had built up a power base in Vistalia, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to restrain Christopher.

Christopher's alter ego looked out the window, his desire to completely eliminate Christopher and Raymond burning intensely.

He had his people send a text message to Raymond from four different locations, each containing the photo of the bracelet.

Raymond, who was frantically searching for Selena, wouldn't ignore any clue, even if he knew it was a trap.

Soon, Raymond received four photos from four different locations.

He quickly had his people investigate, but each time they reached the signal's origin, the sender had vanished, clearly toying with him, giving him false hope.noveldrama

After a day of this, he texted one of the numbers.

Raymond: [What do you want?]

Only then did Christopher's alter ego contact Raymond using his own number. "Raymond, shall we talk?"

His tone was still gentle, but Raymond immediately knew.

It was Christopher's alter ego who had sent the photos, aiming to drain his mental energy.

His eyes flashed with rage, but he calmly said, "Meet me at the Montague Villa."

The two met at the Montague Villa.

Christopher's alter ego arrived first, sitting in the villa's hall.

When Raymond arrived, he immediately saw the bracelet in Christopher's alter ego's hand.

It was the bracelet Selena had recently worn, a gift from her grandfather.

Mario set the bracelet down and looked over.

"Sign the share transfer agreement, and I'll let you see Selena."

He casually pushed the bracelet forward, implying it was just a token of goodwill.
