From His Fake Wife to Billionaire Heiress (Riley and Lucas) novel Chapter 633

Chapter 633 Mother’s New Scheme

Zavier’s call came through not long after.

“Raymond, how did it go? You met Ms. Belmont, right? What did she think?”

Raymond glanced at his faint reflection in the car window and let a slow, knowing smile touch his lips. His tone was casual, almost light. “Yeah, I did. You’ve got good taste, Dad.”

“Oh?” Zavier sounded genuinely surprised. “So you liked her?”

She and his father had been divorced for years–she hadn’t been on Harper Group’s board for a long time. She was completely out of the loop on company business. So how had she found out so fast?

Before Raymund could ask, Melissa offered an explanation, sounding perfectly natural. “Don’t read into it. I was meeting someone at the coffee shop across from Harper Graup earlier, and I happened to overhear a few of your employees talking about it during lunch. That’s why I called
