Reclaiming Her Heart Chapter 1276: You Brought This On Yourself

Raymond raised an eyebrow. An alter personality?

He had noticed that Christopher's character differed dramatically from before, and had considered various possibilities. Perhaps Christopher had been subjected to inhumane torture at the research facility, changing his nature completely. But this revelation about an alter personality caught him off guard.

If this contemptible version was merely an alter, could Christopher's true personality still be dormant somewhere inside?

Without saying a word, Raymond quietly left the area.

Christopher's alter remained unaware that his monologue had been overheard, struggling to compose himself in the corner.

Raymond moved beyond the surveillance range of the mansion, positioning himself in a shadowy spot untouched by the evening sun. He took out his phone.

This particular device ran specialized software that blocked tracking signals, which was why nobody knew he was currently investigating Christopher's alter personality.

Glancing at the screen, Raymond saw countless missed calls, most from Lawrence, presumably inquiring about Tessa's whereabouts.

A flicker of contempt crossed his eyes. Thinking about Selena's current predicament caused a sharp pain in his chest. He immediately messaged Helen: [The drug that causes blindness and muteness—administer it to Tessa.]

Helen responded with a question mark, essentially asking if he really wanted to be that brutal.

Even if Tessa wasn't truly a Smith by blood, she had been raised in the family for years. How could Jason bear to subject a young woman who grew up under his roof to such cruelty?

Raymond replied: [Just do it.]

Helen never disobeyed his orders and promptly prepared the poisoned drink for Tessa's location.

Raymond had already informed Lawrence that Tessa had been sent to the underground fighting arena—which wasn't a lie.

However, he couldn't bring himself to humiliate a woman in that particular manner.

This was purely about retribution now.

Helen opened the door to the room and heard Tessa's panicked cries. "Let me go! Release me! Do you have any idea who I am?"

Having been sedated during her transfer to Vistalia, Tessa had no knowledge of leaving Silver Bay City. She assumed Selena had sent people to exact revenge.

How dare that bitch!

"I'm a daughter of the Smith family! When my father learns what you've done, he'll destroy you all."

Helen gave a soft laugh but said nothing, merely signaling her men to restrain Tessa.

Sensing danger, Tessa's pupils dilated with fear.

A thick blindfold covered her eyes, leaving her in darkness.

"What are you doing? Selena, you worthless bitch, is that you? You're already blind and still causing trouble? I swear I'll make you deaf and mute too! Think carefully about who you're messing with! Can you withstand the Smith family's wrath?"

Helen deliberately disguised her voice as she replied, "Ma'am, I don't know any Selena. I've brought you here because the Smith family has wronged me, so I'm kidnapping their daughter in return."

Tessa froze. She knew the Smith family had made many enemies over the years—an inevitable consequence of their prominence.

"You've got the wrong person! I'm not the Smith family's daughter—Selena is! Take her instead! Make her suffer! Make her disappear from this world forever!"

Helen disregarded these desperate pleas, recognizing them as Tessa's attempt to redirect her hatred toward Selena.

She gripped Tessa's jaw firmly, her tone merciless. "Drink this, and you'll become blind and mute. You brought this on yourself!"

Tessa struggled desperately, but the two guards restraining her were far too strong.

Helen showed no patience, forcing the entire concoction down Tessa's throat.

When Tessa tried to spit it out, she nearly had her jaw dislocated for the effort.
