Reclaiming Her Heart

Raymond threw her to the ground at his feet, glaring at Lawrence.

Lawrence felt like he was facing a raging lion, completely out of control.

Raymond lowered his head, pulling out a cigarette, his pinky finger lightly hooked around the trigger of his gun.

He lit the cigarette, and through the swirling smoke, no one could see his expression.

Paul, who knew Raymond best, immediately lunged at Lawrence and Richard, forcing them both to the ground.

The next second, bullets flew towards the spot where they had just been standing.

If they hadn't ducked in time, those bullets would have hit Lawrence and Richard square in the chest.

Paul strode forward, grabbing the barrel of Raymond's gun.

"Raymond, chill for a second. Let's look around."

Raymond didn't respond, his leather shoe pressing down on Tessa's fingers.

Tessa woke up from the pain, hearing him ask.

"Where is she?"

To her, his voice was like the Grim Reaper's call.

She was truly terrified, knowing that any hesitation would mean death at Raymond's hands.

"I don't know... I really don't know. Lawrence, Richard, help me."

No one could stop the crazed Raymond.

"I just threw a flowerpot at her. She fell down, and I thought she was dead. The body should have been there. Raymond, please believe me, I really don't know where she went."

Raymond pressed harder with his foot, and Tessa felt like her finger bones were about to shatter. "It hurts, it hurts. Dad, help me."

She was in so much pain that she started babbling, not even considering that a few hours ago, Selena had suffered a thousand times worse.

Lawrence couldn't take it anymore. Everyone in the villa came out, guns in hand, all pointed at Raymond.

Raymond just flicked away his cigarette butt, sneering.

"Lawrence, if your men dare to make a move, I guarantee none of you three will leave Silver Bay City alive."noveldrama

Lawrence's face turned cold. If this were Vistalia, he might have the power to challenge Raymond. But this was Silver Bay City, and Raymond had Paul by his side.

"Let Tessa go, and I'll help you find Selena."

Raymond lowered his lashes, hearing Paul also urging, "We haven't seen Selena's body yet. She might not be dead. But if we keep wasting time, who knows? Let's search everywhere. She might have run off."

Raymond's reason finally returned, and he nodded slowly.

Silver Bay City was in an uproar. The Montague family, the Adams family, and the Smith family were all searching for Selena.

It was the first time Silver Bay City had seen such a spectacle. Some even heard that Raymond nearly killed Tessa.

"Raymond shot Tessa. She's in the hospital, the one our family invested in. Lawrence looks furious."

"Tessa got shots, her finger bones are all broken. Raymond didn't hold back."

"Remember, everyone always said not to mess with him. When he goes crazy, he doesn't care about the consequences."

The chat fell silent at that.

Indeed, the families had warned their children not to provoke Raymond.

Now Tessa had crossed him, and he didn't even care about the Smith family's background.

The three factions turned Silver Bay City upside down.

But by dawn, there was still no sign of Selena. It was as if she had vanished into thin air.

Raymond sat in the car, his eyes red, the cigarette burning down to his fingers, but he didn't notice.

The car door opened, and Paul was hit by the smell of smoke.

He heard Raymond ask, "Did you find her?"
