Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1149 Christopher Is Still Alive Lawrence had long investigated the Montague family and knew that there was a Christopher in the Montague family, but Christopher had long been deceased. Tonight, Christopher's alter ego suddenly appeared, claiming to be Christopher. Lawrence sent someone out to investigate and, from the resemblance between Christopher's alter ego and Raymond, finally confirmed his identity.

Christopher was still alive.

However, the information he had gathered about Christopher described him as a very gentle man, which was nothing like the ruthless alter ego in front of him.

Or perhaps Christopher's personality had completely changed after nearly seven years of being presumed dead. Christopher's alter ego picked up a glass of wine, took another sip, and threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the nearby trash can.

"Before my grandfather passed away, he left a will. He originally transferred 15% of the shares to Raymond, on the condition that I was already deceased. If I were still alive, then that 15% of the shares would be mine, which means I can return as a high-ranking member of the Montague Group." That night, Christopher used a self-destructive method to help Selena, and now Christopher's alter ego was filled with anger.

Fine, since Christopher wanted to cause trouble, he would follow suit and create chaos in the entire Silver Bay City! It was Christopher who first broke their agreement, so he couldn't be blamed.

Christopher's alter ego took out William's will, speaking with a tone of pride.

"Mr. Smith, if you are suspicious, you could invite a handwriting expert to authenticate it." "Even so, you can only get 15% of the shares." Christopher's alter ego chuckled, swirling the wine in his glass, "That's enough. I can still interfere in the relationship between Raymond and Selena. This face of mine was Selena's first love." "Mr. Montague, I need to investigate this matter thoroughly. I have to be cautious." Christopher's alter ego shrugged, indicating indifference.

The next day at noon, while Raymond was lying in the hospital, he received a text message. He glanced at it, paused slightly, and then dismissed the message.

Then he opened the chat interface with Selena. He knew Selena cared about him; otherwise, she wouldn't have quietly removed him from the blacklist.

He sent another message.

[I slept in the hospital all night, feeling awful.] Selena was about to meet a well-known female screenwriter, who was said to have a peculiar temper and was also friends with Alex.

Since Alex didn't like her, this screenwriter probably wouldn't either.

On the way there, she saw the text message from Raymond.

She didn't reply.

The screenwriter she was about to meet had a new work that seemed tailor-made for Betty. Selena had sent several people to negotiate with her, but the screenwriter refused to see any of them. Now, hearing that she had started contacting Richard, it was likely she would collaborate with the Smith family.

Selena didn't want to miss this script, so she decided to meet her in person. Unexpectedly, the screenwriter agreed to meet at a café outside a high school.

When Selena arrived, she had her bodyguard wait at the café entrance.

Upon entering, she immediately saw the woman sitting by the window. The screenwriter's nwas Lucille Jade. Selena had heard of her before. Lucille was deeply immersed in her work, unlike commercial screenwriters like Alex. Lucille usually produced one work every three years, and each one received rave reviews. Securing a collaboration with her meant the lead actors in her s would becbig stars.

"Ms. Jade." Selena walked over and shook her hand.

Lucille stood up, her tone very indifferent, "I've heard Alex mention you." Probably not in a good way.

Selena smiled. She had already researched Lucille's personality m before coming. Lucille didn't like beating around the bush and wasn't fond of socializing. She spent her days either seeking inspiration in nature or creating. So, as soon as she sat down, Selena offered the maximum investment benefits they could provide and promised not to interfere with her creative process.

Lucille's slender fingers held the spoon, her expression very cool.

"Alex introducedto Raymond before." She said this without any emotional fluctuation, "That was before he got married."

Selena continued to smile at her, "I've seen Ms. Jade's work. Your creations are mature and delicate, reflecting your character. You probably suit a more mature and stable man." In other words, Raymond wasn't suitable for her; he wasn't that mature in relationships.

Lucille laughed instantly, finally raising her eyes to seriously look at Selena.

She scrutinized Selena for a dozen seconds before saying, "I met Raymond at a banquet. Alex, trying to set us up, gotdrunk and leftalone with Raymond. I was very thirsty and asked him if he had any water. Without looking up, he left. Alex was keen on setting us up, and even Mr. Montague met me. But after that, I kept my distance from Raymond. How should I put it? He isn't very considerate." Lucille's coffee had no milk or sugar. She took a sip.

"So recently, when I resumed normal social activities, and Alex mentioned Raymond was entangled with you, I was curious how you could stand him."
