Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 1016 Spreading Rumors

Aria wrapped up her gossip about Raymond and Tessa, then moved on to trash-talking Selena.

"Selena got dumped by Raymond 'cause she was sleeping around. Who knows how many guys she's been with?"

"When she married Raymond, she was even spotted at a gynecologist."

"William's not backing Selena anymore. I heard she hooked up with some guy for two days after Raymond dumped her. She's totally lost it."

Aria had originally planned to drug Selena to ruin her, but that didn't pan out. So, she went with the easiest route: spreading rumors.

Honestly, no one cared about the truth; they just wanted some juicy drama.

So, not only were the rumors about Raymond and Tessa flying around, but also stories about Selena's wild private life.

These rumors spread like wildfire, eventually reaching a group that included Carter.

When Carter saw these women gossiping about Selena, he lost it.

Carter: "Who the hell is spreading these lies? Selena's Raymond's girl. If he replaces out, you're all screwed!"

Lately, everyone noticed the tension within the Montague Group, and no one was sure where Raymond stood with Carter, so some folks didn't take Carter seriously.

Someone chimed in: "Tessa admitted it herself on Facebook. She said she was with Raymond that night."

Carter: "Damn it, how can Tessa be so shameless?"

Seeing these messages, Carter got even more pissed and kept cursing in the group.

Carter: "No wonder Raymond doesn't like Tessa. She's using dirty tricks and now she's trashing Selena. It was Selena with Raymond that night. Raymond's always been into Selena, and she's confessed her feelings. They're together now. If I hear anyone spreading rumors again, I'll screenshot it and show it to Raymond!"

That last line was a real threat. Everyone knew Raymond had a nasty temper, and if he got wind of this, they'd be in deep trouble.

Remembering how Raymond dealt with Elbert, no one dared to say another word.

Carter took a deep breath and called Raymond right away. But Raymond was on a plane and didn't pick up.

So, Carter quickly called Selena, "Penny, when Raymond gets back, have him post another update, and make sure he mentions you by name, so no other woman can claim him!" Selena had no clue about Tessa's antics and found the whole thing ridiculous after Carter filled her in.

After venting for a bit, Carter suddenly laughed, "But with such lame tactics, Tessa won't stand a chance against you in the future."

Selena looked at her reflection in the black computer screen, still worried about the marks on her body.

After hanging up with Carter, she went to the bathroom mirror and pulled down her collar to check again.

The marks were too obvious. Raymond would definitely notice they were from someone else.

Selena felt suffocated and couldn't focus on work. But what she didn't expect was that Aria got an anonymous message.

"Selena has indeed been with a man these past two days. This man is her first love. They stayed in a hotel for two nights while Raymond was abroad."

When Aria saw this message, her eyes lit up, and she immediately called the number to get more info. But the number was already disconnected.

She sneered and quickly spread the news that Selena had slept with her first love for two nights in a hotel while Raymond was abroad.

Like the other rumors, it became a hot topic.

Aria even went to the hotel to confirm that Selena had stayed there for two nights, which excited her even more.

Because this hotel was owned by the White family, and with Nathan still in a coma, Aria was the only one with any authority in the White family. She immediately pulled up Selena's check-in records and posted them in the group.

Aria: "She's a promiscuous slut. She really stayed in the hotel with her first love for two nights. I wonder how Raymond will react when he replaces out." Aria's evidence was so convincing, and she spoke with such confidence that even those who initially doubted her now believed it.

When Alex saw the check-in records, he personally called the hotel to verify, and the records turned out to be true. He had initially thought Aria was slandering Selena.

But with the records being real, why did Selena specifically go to that hotel during the two days Raymond was abroad? She didn't even leave the hotel, not even for work. Alex narrowed his eyes.
