Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 364 Selena Wakes Up from a Dream
Selena didn't reply, she just placed her phone aside. She was also tired and decided to wash up and rest. When she woke up, it was already the next day, and she saw two more text messages in her phone.
"At the age of 53, suddenly having nothing, I don't dare to go see your mother, afraid of her scolding me."
"I checked the contract with the PW Group. Kenny has signed an additional agreement, shortening the duration from six months to one month. The PW Group has been calling my phone, demanding a compensation of 10 billion dollars. The Fair family doesn't have that much cash flow."
"The Fair family might be burdened with a huge debt. Now that the shares have been transferred to you, it doesn't make sense anymore. You have nothing, but it's actually for your protection. Selena, Dad is truly sorry." Upon reading the last message, Selena instinctively felt that something was wrong.
She immediately called James, but the nurse answered the phone.
"Miss Fair, the patient had a sudden shock last night. We were instructed not to inform you, and his will to live is very low."
Selena opened her mouth, but couldn't say a single word.
Her father is not this way only because of the recent events, but also because of the company.
The company is his knot, it was established by him from scratch, and now, in his fifties, he not only has nothing, but also suffered a devastating blow because of trusting the wrong people.
Even his closest confidants have betrayed him. Even the death of his good friend may be related to this matter. No man can endure such failure.
Selena raised her hand to massage her temples. The contract with the Fair family was signed by Kenny on behalf of the company, with an official seal and legal effect. Moreover, it was a decision approved by the entire board of directors. The situation within the company must be chaotic now.
Unless they replace something that can threaten PW Group and make them voluntarily cancel the contract.
However, PW Group has been doing these malicious things for a long time. Many companies have been forced into bankruptcy by them, but no one has managed to bring them down. How could she as an individual resist their entire company?
Selena searched online for the president of PW Group, Bert Thompson.
She also found several shell companies related to Bert, and surprisingly, her replaceings led to Kross, Caterlington's father, that bastard.
Thinking of Caterlington, a spark flashed in Selena's mind.
Previously, when Caterlington mentioned PW Group, he acted as if he knew a lot about it. He even said that Raymond must be well aware of PW Group's operating model and had blocked PW Group a long time ago. Could it be that he has more comprehensive information regarding PW Group?
He must have known the weaknesses of PW Group himself, but he probably didn't bother to act.
Selena sat on the sofa and asked about James' condition at the hospital.
"His will to live is very low. He keeps murmuring your name and crying in his dreams. His hair turned completely white overnight."
Selena's body stiffened.
Among men, her father's hair turned white relatively late, which was something he took immense pride in. His black hair made him look younger than his peers.
Selena suddenly couldn't imagine how James would look with overnight white hair. She held her phone, opened her mouth, but didn't know how to reply.
At noon, she couldn't resist taking a nap on the sofa, and she dreamt of Barbara.
Actually, Selena has almost forgotten what her mother looks like. The clearest memory she has is of her grandparents wanting to hit her, and Barbara shielding her from them. It was then that she realized her gender was unwelcome.
On the day they took the bus back to New York with Barbara, the people in the neighboring seats started discussing the issue of favoring boys over girls in Ridgefield. Selena nestled in Barbara's embrace, with Barbara bearing all the blows that were meant for her, ensuring she remained unharmed.
In that moment, Selena could sense her mother's frail body trembling slightly. Selena looked up at her and asked, "Mom, what does 'favoring boys over girls' mean?"
Selena now recalls that her mother's face has become somewhat blurry in her memory. They were poor back then, and there weren't many photographs either. Barbara stiffened and held her tightly, explaining, "It means boys get the important things, and girls are left with the less significant ones."
After that incident, Selena rarely dreamt of Barbara, even when she faced hardships. But today, she dreamt of her.
"Selena, what worries me the most is you and your dad. I fear he will be lonely, and I'm also worried that you might marry someone who isn't good for you. I miss you both so much..."
Selena abruptly woke up from the dream, feeling a sharp pain in her throat.
