Reclaiming Her Heart Chapter 597: Can She Afford?

Selena's eyes reddened once more, and she blinked them shut. After a solid half-hour of reading, she finally returned the letter to its place.

She barely slept a few more hours. After breakfast in the morning, she took what she needed and went to the courthouse to wait.

During this time, William called again, asking her to wait for Raymond. "Alright, I will wait here for Mr. Montague," she answered.

Raymond also received a call from William. His head was aching after last night's drinking.

He woke up at six in the morning, thinking Selena was in the living room, but after searching the house, he didn't see anyone.

'Did she leave overnight to avoid me?' The thought made his expression even colder.

When he arrived at the Montague Group, his face still looked grim.

It wasn't until he finished handling the morning's documents that William called, asking him to come and collect the divorce certificate. "Raymond, I plan to give Selena five billion dollars. We can't mistreat her. During your marriage, you flirted with other women multiple times, which was unfair to her. You need to compensate her with two villas."

Raymond's brow furrowed as he thought, 'So, Selena gets all this money without putting in any effort? Is she deserving of it? The Montague Group has invested so much in helping the Fair family through two rounds of financing. Can she afford to sell at this price?'

Raymond's disgust towards Selena grew. "Grandpa, I won't let her have a single cent," he said.

Since William had already accepted the fact that Raymond and Selena were about to divorce, Raymond no longer hid his disdain for her.

William fell silent for a few seconds before exploding. "You jerk, beast! She's been married to you for three years!"

"I never slept with her," Raymond answered.

William froze, shaking with anger. "Selena said you did. Did you forget? Or do you not want to admit it?"

In an instant, Selena's face flashed through Raymond's mind. 'She would definitely say that, hoping William would stop our divorce. She wants to hold onto this status for a lifetime. She doesn't even consider whether she deserves it or not,' he thought.

"Do you think I would be interested in her? Unless all the women in the world are gone!" Raymond retorted.

William slammed his desk hard, coughing in anger.

Raymond realized his tone was too harsh, but he had been testing William's limits gradually.

Now that William had agreed to the divorce, he wouldn't faint just because he didn't care about Selena.

Raymond was about to say something conciliatory when he heard William hang up.

William threw his phone, cursing one after another, "Animal! Jerk! I really messed up. How do I have such a terrible grandson?"

The butler was constantly at his side, placating him, "Mr. Montague, just drop it. You've raised Raymond since he was a kid; you know his temperament."

William rubbed his forehead, saying, "I just feel sorry for Selena."

When Selena received William's second call, it was exactly ten o'clock. "Selena, wait a bit more. I will bring that jerk Raymond over, and we should have a meal together."

Selena drove over and parked under the big tree near the courthouse.

"William, don't be angry, I'll wait," Selena replied.

After William hung up, he took a deep breath and immediately went to the Montague Group.

But as soon as he stepped out of the mansion's gates, he fainted from the overwhelming emotions.

William's health had always been fragile, and recent incidents with Abigail had stressed him out. With Catherine causing trouble as well, and now Raymond and Selena divorcing, he felt terrible.

When William fainted, the entire Montague family started to fall into chaos.

While Raymond was in a meeting, he received news that William was in the emergency room. Raymond instinctively thought his words had caused William's heart attack and hurried to the hospital.

At this moment, Selena was still waiting at the courthouse. After William said those words to her, she thought there would be a resolution today.

She was prepared to face Raymond later.

But by two o'clock in the afternoon, after four hours of waiting, neither William nor Raymond contacted her.

Since Selena was not well-liked in the Montague family, almost everyone was waiting in the corridor, but no one informed her.

After some thought, Selena decided to message Raymond using her private number.

Selena: [Mr. Montague, when will you come to the courthouse?]
