Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 583 He Might Still Be Alive Just as Selena had predicted, Olivia, without any hesitation, put forth Samantha Stone's son, Jim Stone, as the scapegoat.

The incident that Samantha caused at Harvard University had long made her a stain on the Stone family. Even when Catherine accused Raymond, she brought up Samantha's matter.

Samantha was dismissed, and for the Stone family, Samantha's existence was no longer useful. So this time, the scapegoat becher son, Jim.

But Jim was Samantha's only son. Samantha had been plotting revenge against Selena, blaming her for the loss of everything she had painstakingly built at Harvard University.

However, before she could make her comeback, the Stone family made Jim the scapegoat without hesitation. "Olivia, Olivia, I beg you. Please, don't let Jim go. This is a matter of going to jail." Samantha pleaded with Olivia. Olivia's face carried a smile, but there was no warmth in her eyes.

"I can't be blamed for this. Raymond told us to handle it ourselves. Only then can we ensure that the Stone family's company will not go bankrupt. Moreover, this was decided by everyone's vote, and Jim received the most votes. You have to consider that as long as the Stone family's company is still there, we can ensure that Jim will be provided for after a few years in prison. You, on the outside, will also live a good life," said Olivia.

Others also tried to persuade, saying that Samantha was not sensible.

Samantha sat weakly on the ground, unable to believe that these were her family members.

When Samantha was still the Department Chair at Harvard University, this group of people had said all sorts of flattering words to her. Now that she was no longer in that position, she had beca stain that needed to be hidden away. Samantha's eyes were full of hatred as she stared at Olivia. "Olivia, Jim is only in his twenties! Ten years ago, he was only a teenager, so how could he be involved in the coastal housing construction over there?" she questioned angrily. "There's no room for negotiation anymore." Olivia looked somewhat impatient, shaking off her hand. "We must always give an account to society, so we must put forward someone from within the Stone family. Otherwise, everyone can see that we are looking for a scapegoat." Samantha couldn't say anything more. At this moment, she no longer hated Selena but hated Olivia, this despicable woman.

The others were completely unaware that Samantha had cto hate them all. They were still immersed in the joy of Raymond's willingness to invest thirty billion dollars.

Moreover, Olivia had prepared a blank notebook to be sent to the Montague Group, and she felt somewhat uneasy.

Although the Montague Group was willing to invest, the signing would only take place half a month later.

Olivia was now in a difficult position with no way out.

When Raymond received the notebook, he found that it was blank, and the style completely matched Christopher's more serious attitude toward academics.

His brow furrowed, and he called Paul to confirm.

"The lost notebook, was it in a more girlish color?" Raymond asked.

"Yes, did you find it?" Paul replied.

"No," Raymond said.

Raymond hung up and called Olivia, his tone indifferent. "The bracelet is a regular bracelet; the notebook is a regular notebook. I helped you twice, this teven investing thirty billion dollars. Olivia, you shouldn't have the audacity to try to deceive me, right?" Through the phone, Olivia couldn't discern his tone, but her heart was pounding wildly. She answered, "This is what Christopher gave me. I was curious at the tabout why he gavethis." Raymond casually flipped through the notebook in his hand, saying, "I trusted you last tand didn't have someone check the fingerprints on the bracelet. But this time, I will hand over the notebook to Paul. Their laser detection method can detect fingerprints from several years ago. If Christopher's fingerprints are not on the notebook, then you will have to explain it to me." Olivia's pupils shrank sharply, her face turning pale in an instant.

After hanging up the phone, Olivia broke out in a cold sweat on her back.

There would definitely be no fingerprints of Christopher on the notebook she had sent. After all, Christopher had never given her anything. If Raymond found out she was lying to him...

Olivia couldn't even imagine the consequences, and her lips began to tremble.

Meanwhile, Raymond did indeed have the notebook sent to Paul.

The Adams family specialized in weapons and instruments, so this kind of detection was a piece of cake.

The next morning, the test results were out. And that night, Olivia had not slept at all, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Paul called Raymond and said, "There are indeed Christopher's fingerprints on the notebook." Raymond narrowed his eyes, and he was already convinced in his heart that Olivia was deceiving him. His greatest aversion was deceit.

But now, Paul gave him this answer.

His breathing quickened significantly in an instant. 'How did Christopher really die?' This was a mystery that plagued everyone in the Montague family.

Raymond's father had never been willing to retire, wanting to find out this very point.

"Was there anything on the notebook?" Raymond asked.

"No, just a regular notebook," Paul replied.

Raymond lowered his eyes, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"But Raymond, the latest technology can now estimate the approximate twhen a fingerprint was left. This е fingerprint was not left before Christopher's death, but within the last three days," said Paul. "What does that mean?" Raymond asked.

"Fingerprints cannot be faked, which means that Christopher may have touched this notebook within the last three days Christopher might still be alive. Even Paul, who was usually so calm, could hardly contain his excitement. He even began to tremble when he said the last few words.

"Impossible!" Raymond stood up from his office chair, loosening his tie. He continued, "When Christopher went on his mission back then, he died without a complete body. My grandfather said that not even intact bones could be brought back, and it was unclear who arranged the explosion."
