Reclaiming Her Heart

Christopher's alter ego stood there with a grim expression, looking at the shadow of the car, his hand hanging at his side slowly tightening.

His lips pressed into a straight line, and finally, he let out a cold laugh.

Selena didn't know if what Christopher's alter ego said was true or not. Donovan was on Christopher's alter ego's side. Now that Raymond had been taken away, the higher-ups would definitely detain him for a while under some pretext.

But Raymond was not an ordinary person; he would not be truly troubled by this matter. Moreover, the fact that he dared to go with them showed that he had confidence in himself. So what she had to do was to steadfastly wait for his return.

She returned to Manston Manor and received a message from Raymond on her phone. [Take care of yourself, trust me.]

This message completely put her mind at ease.

Meanwhile, Raymond was sitting in a solemn office, with several people seated in front of him.

These people held high positions, and the leading one was an elderly man who had someone bring him a cup of coffee.

Raymond waved his hand, "I can't get used to the coffee here."

The old man glared at him, leaning on his cane.

"Do you think I take you here to have coffee?"

The old man was clearly the highest-ranking among them. He sat at the head of the table, his hair gray, exuding authority without anger.

"I told William long ago, having many children is not necessarily a good thing. Look at him, he didn't even have a peaceful end."

The William he mentioned was William Montague, and only he dared to refer to William in such

a manner.

Raymond's face, which had been relaxed, slowly fell when he heard William's name.

"Raymond Montague, we've had meetings about this. No one wants to make things difficult for you, but you need to understand that the chip is very important to us. Before Christopher, many geniuses had already perished in that experimental base. What Christopher has is the only complete and successful data. If we do nothing, we would be letting down those who died." Ralph Murray's voice was old, and he sighed.

"I've known you for many years, and I've known William for many years too. I understand your character. Donovan hopes I can detain you to give Christopher and Selena some time together, but I know that's not fair to you."

After saying this, Ralph glanced around at the others seated.noveldrama

"All of you, leave. I want to talk to Raymond alone."

The others, who held significant positions in the country, all listened to Ralph and slowly got up and left.

Once the door closed, no one would know the secrets within.

Ralph personally poured Raymond a cup of tea.

Raymond stood up to take the tea, his tone very calm, "Mr. Murray, I can't have the tea you personally poured for me; that's too much."

Ralph chuckled, "Raymond, you still speak so sharply. If you were as close to Donovan, the Montague family wouldn't all be biased towards Christopher."

Raymond immediately fell silent, returning to his cold demeanor.

A few minutes later, Ralph spoke again.

"Tell me your thoughts. Donovan's suggestion has been adopted by most people. He is your father; if he doesn't care about you, others will care even less."

"Mr. Murray, I know your son also died in the research base. I have learned about those geniuses you mentioned. That research base has existed for many years, and only when Christopher went there did he have a chance. I know the process must have been very difficult, and I know his efforts. He is indeed worthy of being Christopher."

This world had never been peaceful; someone was always bearing the burden behind the scenes. After Ralph's son, several more people died abroad.

Their bodies could not be brought back. Once their identities were exposed, it would become a national conflict.

So their bodies could only remain unclaimed.

Christopher was the only one who infiltrated and obtained the research data.

Ralph slowly blew on the tea in front of him, his expression calm.

"Christopher confided in us that he was used for experiments. I had someone check the needle marks on his body. It's hard to believe he could still come out alive. Christopher is indeed not an ordinary person. He accomplished what no one else could, so the higher-ups couldn't refuse his requests. He wants Selena."
