Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 219 Finally Revealing True Colors

James was shaking all over, almost out of breath from anger. "How could you speak ill of Beatrice and Alice like that?" Selena took a deep breath and dialed 911 on her phone.

"Dad, it's better for you to rest, in a hospital, for a while. The company has nothing important going on right now, so think of it as taking a vacation for yourself."

James looked at his daughter, noticing her disheveled hair, from the impact of the pillow hitting her, and felt some regret.

He sighed.

"Even if I'm willing to step back, I can only be at ease if I hand the company over to you. I planned to give you some shares and have you temporarily take my position in the company. Your current job already has connections with Mr. Wright, even though it pushed him to treat you badly, Selena, you have the ability. If you agree to take over the company, I can rest easy and focus more on recovering."

Instead of handing it over to someone else, it's better to hand it over to his own daughter.

Others might still want to deal with him, but he understood his daughter.

Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.

She was definitely the last person who wanted anything to happen to her father.

Selena didn't say anything, while Beatrice, standing by their side, almost fainted from anger.

She couldn't jump up and down and yell, at this moment, or else James would definitely figure out her intentions!

Earlier, she had made James suspicious, however she had managed to fool him by pretending to be sick. She couldn't expose herself, or her ideas right now. It wasn't the right time.

Beatrice tightly clutched the hand hanging by her side, her nails deeply embedded in her palm.

Damn woman! Despicable!

She had been by this man's side for so many years, and in the end, she only received ten percent of the company's shares in return. And now, he wanted to hand over the company to his ex-wife's daughter! Selena was somewhat surprised by all of this, but it made sense when she thought it through.

Nick was the son of another man, and unless James was completely out of his mind, he wouldn't hand over the company to a non-blood family member.

And Alice was a sickly woman, who could easily be dragged to the brink of death by the people in the workplace.

Although Beatrice was also in the company, if she wasn't James's wife, she wouldn't have any authority to interfere.

After ruling out the other possibilities, it seemed that Selena was indeed the most suitable person to take over the company.

But Selena didn't want it. After Raymond's house design was finished, she wanted to open an art studio.

However, Beatrice had already arranged for Nick to join the company earlier, clearly showing her ambitious nature.

"Dad, if you sell your shares now, you can have a lot of money to enjoy your later years."

"If you don't enter the company, then there's no room for negotiation. Leave."

This time, James seemed serious. He coughed twice and slowly closed his eyes.

The ambulance had arrived, and Selena helped him onto the stretcher.

"Dad, take care of yourself. I'll come visit you when I come back from Ridgefield, and can we discuss this matter then?"

James let out a sigh of relief and nodded slowly. Beatrice, who had been standing by, followed James into the ambulance and gave Selena a resentful glare, as the doors closed. Selena stood still, feeling even more uneasy. Alice's voice came from behind her. "Sister." It was still so gentle.

Selena felt nauseous at the sound and walked away without responding.

"Sister, I didn't do anything with Mr. Montague at the hotel. He just gave me medicine. If I had known it was from you, I wouldn't have touched it."

Selena found it amusing and stopped, turning to look at Alice. "Are you done talking?"

Alice always lacked some confidence when standing face-to-face with her sister. She didn't understand why she was still indifferent, despite having manipulated the situation to this extent.

"Alice, if you like Raymond, then go pursue him. There's no need to stir up trouble in front of me. If you really manage to win him over, he will immediately ask for a divorce and marry you, which would be more effective than putting on a show in front of me."

"Sister, I'm not pretending."

Selena had already gotten into the car, closed the door, and rolled down the window. "Your acting skills are terrible. If you seduced him using these methods, it's no wonder he doesn't desire you."

This sentence infuriated Alice. Her face was now full of malice. Her true colors were finally revealed.
