Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 169 Another Encounter

Selena glanced at the woman beside Jacob. She had flamboyant red hair, heavy dark eyeliner, and such thick makeup that her true face could hardly be seen.

The woman spat at her as soon as she saw Selena charging towards her.

"Jacob, who is this?"

"Uh, this is, this is my cousin."

"You're lying, didn't you say you don't have any relatives in New York? Is this your girlfriend?"

"No, no!"

Jacob desperately tried to explain, but the woman slapped him across the face and spat on the ground.

"Get lost, don't you fucking come looking for me again."

Jacob wanted to chase after her, but Selena grabbed his sleeve.

"Jacob! Don't forget that you're married. What do you think you're doing, mingling with other women outside? At least go home and get a divorce!"

The woman with Jacob had not left yet. She stayed to see Jacob entangling with the new woman, Selena. Thinking of her own efforts in the past half month, she was so angry that her face turned ferocious. She walked back and directly pushed Selena onto the road.

"You bitch! You dare to snatch my man! You didn't even bother to replace out who I am!"

Selena didn't expect this woman to suddenly rush back and push her onto the road with a raised hand.

A car was approaching not far away and it seemed like it was about to hit her.

Jacob stood at the intersection, already screaming.

But at the final critical moment, the car stopped just inches away from Selena's cheek.

Selena, still trembling, got up from the road and saw Jacob grabbing the woman violently.

"Get lost! Get lost! Don't ever show your face to me again!"

"Well, Jacob, if you dare to talk to me like this, don't come to work tomorrow!"

Jacob's cheeks turned red and he dared not look into Selena's eyes.

Selena, now back to her senses, stood up from the ground and felt her scalp tingle when she saw the familiar license plate.

The car window rolled down, revealing Raymond's face.

He had probably just finished socializing for work, and with the buttons of his shirt undone and one hand resting on the car window, showing a silver-blue cufflink, he glanced at Selena, his tone carrying the chill of the night, and said,

"New type of scam?"

Selena had no idea how to respond. On one hand, she was angered by the woman's behavior, and if she reported it to the police, she could at least charge her with attempted murder. On the other hand, she was surprised by Raymond's presence here.

How could she run into Raymond everywhere, especially when she was in such a messy situation?

"Mr. Montague."

She tidied her slightly disheveled hair and nodded at him, "I'm sorry to have startled you." Having said that, she looked at Jacob.

Jacob was somewhat afraid of this cousin to a certain extent. Even though they used to live under the same roof, back then, his cousin didn't talk much and was solely focused on studying, lacking the aura he now possessed. "Jacob, did you sell yourself for a quick meal? Devote yourself to this kind of woman?"

It was not that Selena judged people by their appearance, but after a woman displayed such behavior, her goodwill towards her had dropped to negative numbers.

If it hadn't been for Raymond's driver's excellent driving skills, she might have really died on the spot tonight.

Selena was already disappointed in this cousin, and now she felt that he was completely unreliable.

Not to mention that he didn't even go back to see their parents when something happened, he was practically like an animal!

Moreover, the older generations always believed that having a son was useful, pampering him like a precious little gem since childhood. Even if he caused trouble, it was his Uncles and Aunt who cleaned up after him. The woman stood by Jacob's side and upon hearing these words, rolled up her sleeves and was about to charge forward.

"What the hell do you mean?! What do you mean by 'this kind of woman'? I earn my own money and spend it cleanly. Don't try to fool me with your educated person's nonsense!"

Selena's appearance did indeed give off the impression of someone well-read, unlike her.

Jacob was getting impatient and kept scolding her.

"Enough! Shut up already! Didn't I tell you to leave?"

"Well, fine, I'll leave. Just don't come begging me for a job with a pitiful face tomorrow!"

This sentence completely crushed the man's dignity, and it happened right in front of his cousin.

Jacob almost instinctively wanted to run, but Selena grabbed him.

"Can't you take some responsibility, Jacob? You're already 28, how long do you plan on letting your Aunt worry about you!"

Selena had said these words to Jacob before, and he felt deeply embarrassed.

He took a deep breath, wanting to say a few words to insult Selena, but when he encountered Raymond's powerful presence next to him, his courage was instantly punctured and he held his tongue.
