Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 73: Raising you, not because you are useful

As soon as Selena entered the house, she saw a woman of about twenty-eight years old sitting on the sofa, crossing her legs and watching TV, while her aunt Erin was cooking, as if serving the old lady.

The woman sitting on the couch saw Selena and put down the apple she was eating in her mouth.

"You, we're back from the city, the house is dirty, just pick a spot to sit."

A flash of embarrassment appeared on both Brian and Erin's faces, but it was hard to say anything.

Erin pulled Selena over and looked around, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Skinny, is your dad spoiling that woman and all but ignoring you?"

That must be the case, her mother had been dead for many years, men were all thin-skinned, when they meet a prettier one, who still remembers the dowager wife in your family.

The woman who spoke was about twenty-eight years old, Selena's cousin's wife, the daughter-in-law of the family.

With a sarcastic look on her face, she took another look at the kitchen.

"The food isn't even ready yet, what's the point of catching up."

Erin had to let go of Selena's hand first, "Selena, sit down, I have two more dishes to finish."

Selena's brow furrowed.

The other party rolled her eyes, "Am I not telling the truth, your family's properties are all that woman's now, look at your father who hasn't come back to burn paper for a few years, and now keeps you, not because you're useful." Selena raised her head slightly and looked at her cousin's wife who spoke, suppressing the fire that was inexplicably stirred in her heart.

"I don't need to worry about my family's affairs, so don't worry about your cousin's wife."

Dave rolled her eyes again, "Yes, your family is so rich in the city, and also opened a big company, I heard that a car is several millions, why do you need to bother with a small poor person like me, ah, the money we earn in a lifetime, not as much as you earn in a day."

Brian pulled Selena down and told her not to take it personally, even with a little begging meaning.

After dinner, Selena and her aunt offered to leave, and Erin hastened to pull them along.

"Selena, your room is all ready, I just changed the sheets, you still have to spend money to stay in a hotel and it's not safe, just stay here."

Dave on the side can not help but snicker, Claire said:

"People spend a two hundred dollars to stay in a hotel as a sprinkling of water, you feel for her then do what? It's better to worry more about ourselves." Selena's mouth pulled at the corners, if not for the face of her aunt and uncle, she would have disliked Dave so much that she couldn't say a word.

Erin's hand was still tightly pulling her, with guilt, and uneasiness.

Selena smiled and soothed, "Auntie and uncle, it's really not necessary, my hotel has already......"

The words had not finished before someone suddenly came knocking on the door.

Brian went to attend the door and saw that it was Patrick, their neighbor who had come over.

Patrick saw Selena, as if he had seen a savior.

"Oops, so the college student really came back, the above specially asked me to come over to ask for something, said it wants to receive your guests in the courtyards white wall but with a painting, now the white always looks empty, and they are worried about buying a mural which might be too earthy, so the guests are not satisfied, and since Selena is from New York Academy of Fine Arts, they let me come to ask you if you are willing to come, and they will provide you with a hotel to stay, but also an extra thousand dollars, how about it?"

Selena breathed a sigh of relief, just so you can use this as an excuse.

"Okay, I'll go over there, what kind of painting do you want?"

"Well, the surrounding scenery can be compatible for the good, Brian told me this afternoon that you are coming, but blame me to say this, let the person in charge hear, recently You County has been visited by the big man a lot, do not dare to make mistakes, if you are willing to help, that is really good."

Selena looked to Li Dong and Erin.

"Uncle, aunt, you heard it too, there is a need for a painter."

Erin couldn't stop it anymore and followed Brian to send her to the door.

Selena's hand carried the small box and got into her car.

The car in front was leading the way, and she followed behind.

When she arrived outside the compound, she saw the Bentley parked outside, and the license plate number was vaguely familiar.
