Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 237 We only have a regular employment relationship.

After leaving the villa, Selena still felt as if she was on fire. It was really embarrassing. She took a deep breath and quickly tried to calm herself down. After all, the issue with Jacob needed to be resolved as soon as possible so that she could return to New York without any burdens.

She had already checked the information on the leader, whose name was Kieran Sutton. There didn't seem to be any problems with his personal conduct, and he was diligent in his work, with almost no shortcomings. Clearly, sending someone to deal with Jacob was a result of being provoked by his actions. After all, anyone would replace it unbearable if their own son had been stitched up with over twenty stitches.

Selena searched around and finally found a photo of Kieran Sutton and Caterlington on the public account in the county. The photo showed them together last year, participating in a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a certain project. After checking the content of the article on the public account, Selena called Caterlington.

His voice came through quickly on the other end. "Penny, what's up? Missed me?"

Selena pretended not to hear that and asked, "When Mr. Walsh came to Ridgefield last year, did he meet a leader surnamed Ran?"

Caterlington had already started familiarizing himself with the company's business, meeting so many people every year, it was really hard to remember this name.

Selena sent the photo of the ribbon-cutting ceremony. "It's the person in this photo. Take a look."

Caterlington had some recollection and lightly laughed, "You really don't waste any opportunity, huh? Alright, spill it. What's up?"

Selena explained Jacob's situation, and Caterlington rubbed his forehead with his hand.

"Didn't you hear that the Montague family has been doing business with Ridgefield recently? It's a big project. Raymond should be in touch with these leaders these days. Wouldn't it be faster if you just replace him?"

Selena knew he was making fun of her, but she had no choice. Who made her dependent on others?

"Mr. Montague is extremely busy. He doesn't have time to deal with my little issue. Besides, we only have a regular employment relationship."

Caterlington laughed again on the other end. "Alright, I'll make a call to that leader. But even if he's willing to consider it as a favor to me and not report it to the police, your uncle's family still has to pay compensation. Over twenty stitches is not a small matter, and you understand that, right?"

"Mr. Walsh, I understand. As long as my cousin doesn't go to jail."

After hanging up the phone, Selena heard a cough from behind, and she stiffened. When she turned her head, she saw Raymond, Rosalind, Qishen, and the leaders who had been accompanying Raymond. She didn't know how long everyone had been standing there.

Selena felt that her luck this year was really bad. How come it was always her turn to face Raymond...

When they were badmouthing her, he was there.

And the leader named Kieran Sutton seemed to recognize Selena's face and was about to say something when his own phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was a call from the boss in New York, so he answered.

"Mr. Walsh, good to hear from you."

They exchanged formal greetings, and then Kieran Sutton heard Caterlington talk about Jacob.

Fortunately, his own son wasn't in big trouble, but he heard that Layman House was going to lose money, so he just needed to let Jacob off the hook and avoid jail time, and he was willing to do him this favor. After all, they had to cooperate in the future, and by owing Caterlington this favor, maybe he could get a good price.

After agreeing, they exchanged a few more formal words before hanging up the phone.

Kieran Sutton looked at Selena and smiled.

"I remembered, you're Brian's niece, right? Mr. Walsh told me about you, so I have to do you this favor."

Selena was feeling extremely uncomfortable at this moment. Caterlington's actions were too fast, and it was happening in this awkward moment.

She felt Raymond's gaze filled with ridicule, as if he was laughing at her for not being able to get through here, so she went there, and even resorted to calling her pursuer for help. Wasn't it last time that Raymond caught her having dinner with Caterlington?

But now that Kieran Sutton spoke, Selena couldn't refuse.

"Well, thank you, Director Ran. I will have my cousin apologize."

"It's impressive to be able to get Mr. Walsh involved. This niece of Layman House has some capabilities, haha, don't judge a book by its cover." Kieran Sutton spoke politely and then turned to Raymond.

"Mr. Montague, let us escort you to your car. The project is now settled. We look forward to the Montague family's people coming to develop." Raymond nodded, but his gaze didn't linger on Selena.

Selena stood there as if a vital point had been touched, and she waited until Raymond's car had left before she regretfully touched her forehead. Ah.

She wondered how much of their conversation Raymond had heard just now.
