Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 671 No Third Person Will Know

Carol threw up twice, leaving Bryan really disappointed.

He said, "Revise that script again. If Penny's still not happy, forget it. Just stay away from her."

Carol replied, "Got it, Mr. Ward, please."

Bryan started fastening his belt, reeking of a foul odor.

Carol trembled and vomited again after he left.

As she was about to leave, she saw Selena at the office door.

Carol stepped back, scared.

Selena noticed Carol looked worse than before, even though she'd only been gone a few minutes.

"Ms. Cooper," Carol's voice shook. Selena handed her a tissue.

Carol hesitated to take it.

Selena pointed inside. "I forgot my phone."

Carol stepped aside to let Selena in.

The place was cleaned up, and Carol had freshened up, so nothing seemed off.

Selena picked up her phone from the chair, which was in recording mode.

Bryan hadn't noticed it because it was wedged in the chair's crevice.

Whenever Carol met Bryan, she had to hand over her phone, so she couldn't record anything.

Seeing Selena's phone recording, Carol's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed.

She realized Selena had hidden her phone on purpose.

Carol knelt down, trembling. "Ms. Cooper, please, don't listen to it, I beg you."

Selena frowned, checked for cameras, and made sure Bryan wouldn't come back. Then she pulled Carol up.

Selena took Carol to a quiet place.

"If you don't want me to listen, I won't. But think, is this the life you want?" Selena asked.

Carol lowered her eyes. "I have one year left until graduation. I've endured this long, I can make it. I just need to hold on a bit longer." Otherwise, she'd be the laughingstock of the school, and her parents would be ridiculed.

Selena didn't say anything. After a while, she handed her phone to Carol. "If you want to delete it, do it yourself. I haven't heard it." Carol's fingers trembled, but she didn't delete the recording.

After hesitating for ten minutes, she finally spoke, "Ms. Cooper, can I trust you?"

Investors had approached her before, but they all knew Bryan. Any trouble, and Bryan would know immediately.

If Bryan found out, she'd be severely mistreated.

Selena grabbed her hand. "I promise, whatever you tell me, no one else will know."

Carol lowered her eyes. "I have a few scripts, but no one knows I wrote them. If you like them, I'll give them to you, but you can't use my name."

She looked embarrassed and asked, "Can you give me a hundred dollars? Local express delivery is a bit expensive, and I don't have that much money."

"I'll transfer the money to you," Selena said.

"No, just give me a hundred dollars. I'll return the extra with the delivery," Carol said.

Selena took out five hundred dollars in cash.

Carol only took a hundred, her eyes flickering. "I'll send you the scripts after school tonight. We can discuss the price later. I've hidden those scripts and don't dare to let anyone know." Not even her parents knew.

Rodolfo trusted Bryan completely. Whenever Carol created a script, Rodolfo would tell Bryan, asking for his guidance.

But Bryan just took Carol's work and put his name on it.

Carol had told Rodolfo not to share her work, but Rodolfo didn't listen, thinking she was just being childish.

"Mr. Ward is prestigious and willing to mentor you. You should be grateful. Every time I call him, he answers quickly. If he didn't like you, why would he talk to me? A good teacher is important. Don't be stubborn. If you've written something, let him see it."

Carol had no privacy at home. Her room door couldn't be locked, and her parents could enter anytime.

So whatever she created at home, Rodolfo would tell Bryan.

Carol had resisted, but she'd immediately be labeled ungrateful and disobedient.
