Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 377 In fact, she is my wife.

Selena arrived at the underground garage and just as she was about to get into her car, she noticed that the window of the car beside her was rolled down, revealing Bert's face from inside.

At that moment, he no longer concealed his intentions, and directly took out a card.

"Ten million US dollars, a hundred times with you. If you're willing, get in the car." His face was so fat, it barely fit inside the window.

Hearing these words, Selena felt nauseated. But Bert raised an eyebrow, displaying an attitude of having the upper hand.

"Kross mentioned you to me before, saying that you were particularly beautiful. I saw your photos at the time, but I never expected you to look even better in person. You were probably a virgin back then, not so sure now. A virgin is worth a high price. I'm offering you a hundred thousand dollars each time, considering it as valuing you. I'll even buy you a villa afterwards. The Fair family will go bankrupt in a month, so if you don't agree, you'll have to beg on the streets, my little darling."

Those last few words were simply revolting!

Most wealthy middle-aged men had a strong sense of confidence.

As if as long as they casually threw out a card, women would eagerly rush over. Because in the business world, women's status was far inferior to that of men, that was the reality. Countless men regarded beautiful women as tools to please the company's presidents.

Over time, these men became even more inflated. Selena looked at the card, took it, and then fiercely slammed it towards Bert's face.

"Mr. Thompson, you should keep it for yourself. PW Group may go bankrupt, but the Fair family won't."

She finished speaking and directly opened the car door, stepping on the gas pedal.

The card slapped Bert's face, causing it to sting. He was shocked and had never experienced a woman daring to do such a thing to him. Damn it!

He angrily patted the front seat, making the driver shiver in fear. "... Mr. Thompson."

Bert sneered, "I want this woman to know the cost of provoking me."

The driver didn't say anything. There had been others who had refused Bert before, but their rejections were polite, out of fear of retaliation. They never expected someone like Selena, who was so impolite, to actually slam a card on Mr. Thompson's face. It was as if she didn't want to live anymore.

"Drive!"

"Oh, okay."

Bert had been holding his anger inside and when he met with several company presidents at the KTV that night, he would be feeling uncomfortable.

When Kross showed off that photo, it tickled him inside.

He also mentioned that the girl had an English name, Selena, and was talented in drawing.

Bert pushed away the woman leaning on him.

The women inside the private room were all attractive, but compared to Selena, they were lacking.

He snorted lightly and went out to smoke a cigarette.

As he passed the lobby, he saw a man supporting another slightly intoxicated man.

The drunk man wasn't noticeable at all.

This person was also boasting to his colleague.

"I got promoted all thanks to Selena. You wouldn't know, but she's actually my wife. No one else knows, hiccup."

Everyone just assumed he was speaking nonsense due to intoxication.

After all, Selena was someone the President of Cornerstone Construction had to treat with great caution.

How could she be the wife of someone as insignificant as Lucas?

But these words caught Bert's attention.

A trace of malice flashed in Bert's eyes.

As Lucas returned from the restroom, he was pulled away by a few bodyguards, directly leaving the place and ending up being beaten up.

He pleaded incessantly but had no idea who he had gotten on the wrong side of.

It wasn't until the bag over his head was removed that he saw the potbellied middle-aged man sitting in front of him through his swollen and bruised eyelids. "You said Selena is your wife?"

Lucas trembled in fear and did not dare to respond.

Those were just a few drunken ramblings, originally meant to show off. Who would have thought he would get into trouble because of it?

This person was not someone he could afford to offend, and neither was Selena.

Bert sneered and lit a cigar.

"Call her and have her come pick you up."

Although Lucas was terrified of dying, he didn't make the call this time.

The bodyguards moved forward again, beating and kicking him.

*****

When Selena returned to the Fair family mansion, she was surprised to see James already there.

She thought she must have been mistaken.

There were piles of documents in front of James, and his hair was completely white. He must have just woken up.

He didn't inform Selena and handled his discharge from the hospital alone.

The hospital tried hard to persuade him, but they didn't mention the fact that he had late-stage liver cancer.

James seemed to have aged ten years, and his eyesight had also deteriorated within a few days. He now needed glasses to read the words on the contracts clearly. Seeing him like this, Selena's heart felt a pang of pain.

Every few lines, James would cough, clearly trying to hold himself together.

He was looking at the contract between the company and PW Group, trying to replace any loopholes.

But after reading it ten times, it was a fact that the Fair family was burdened with debt.
