Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 234 Sons are Everything, Raising Children for Old Age

Selena was quite understanding and nodded with a light smile, "Alright then, goodbye."

After speaking, she immediately turned and left.

Raymond stood there, watching her figure. He gazed for a few seconds before Rosalind pulled him.

"Raymond, what are you looking at?"

He didn't speak, but turned and walked quickly towards the courtyard.

Selena took a taxi to Brian's house and saw that there were already quite a few people gathered there, including the neighbors, all pointing and gossiping about the Layman House people.

The door of Layman House was closed and Brian and Erin stayed inside without coming out.

Outside, there were a few big and burly men taking turns with sticks and steel bars, seemingly the people mentioned by Selena's aunt who were blocking the door.

Selena approached one of the men who was swinging a steel bar, the man was tall and muscular, with bulging muscles on his arms, as if he could explode at any moment.

"Hello, may I ask what Jacob did exactly? Why are you all blocking their family here?"

The man saw Selena and didn't expect such a graceful woman to suddenly ask him, so he replied.

"This cowardly turtle beat up the leader's son. He had over twenty stitches on his head. The leader ordered us to demand an explanation from their family, but this whole family is hiding inside the house and not daring to come out. They're truly pathetic, just like their pathetic son."

Selena didn't think her uncle and aunt were pathetic, but they were overly concerned about their son, even to an unreasonable extent.

But there was nothing she could do, this was the custom of Ridgefield, sons were everything, raised for old age.

Even if the son committed a major wrongdoing, he would still be their precious wart.

The people here had a low standard for their sons, as long as they could marry a wife peacefully, it was enough. However, they were much stricter when it came to daughters. Selena smiled at the man and remained composed.

"Everyone, don't be angry. I will call them out and explain everything face to face. The leader only wanted you to demand an explanation, not to take physical action, right?" The man snorted coldly, "Fine, call them out first!"

Selena walked to the door and knocked, "Uncle, Aunt."

Brian and Erin were sitting on chairs inside, and upon hearing the voice, it was as if they had caught a lifeline. "Selena!"

Erin hurriedly walked to the door, but seeing those fierce-looking men, she didn't dare to open it.

"Aunt, open the door. If there's a misunderstanding, we can explain it."

Erin glanced at Jacob, who was smoking in the corner, sighed, and opened the door out of trust in Selena.

"Selena, you finally came back."

Selena saw the man in the corner and couldn't contain her anger, "Jacob, if you were a man, you would stand up right now. What does hiding behind your parents mean? Since you dared to do it back then, why don't you have the courage to come out and admit it?"

Jacob's...

His hand froze, and he became infuriated to the point of stomping his feet.

"Damn it! What's wrong with me smashing it with a brick? Those lovebirds deserve to die. I even thought I was being gentle!"

The few people guarding outside the door heard this and immediately approached with steel bars, taking turns.

"You little brat, I bet you won't shed a tear until you see a coffin."

Jacob saw the appearance of the few individuals, and his aura weakened instantly. He was so scared that he hid behind Selena, tightly gripping her and standing in front of himself as a shield. Selena laughed in anger and spoke.

"Weren't you just being all arrogant? You made someone get stitched up with over twenty stitches. Isn't that attempted murder? If that person were to make a big deal out of it, you would end up in jail." Hearing the mention of jail, Brian and Erin became anxious.

"Selena, your cousin didn't mean any harm. Let's see if there's any room for negotiation in this matter. We're willing to compensate financially, no matter how much."

It is precisely this indulgent attitude towards their son that has led Jacob to reach his current situation step by step.
