Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 746 The Important Thing Is, She Rejected Him

In Catherine's eyes, even the way Selena breathed was a ploy to seduce Raymond.

Selena was Barbara's kid, so naturally, everything was her fault. If Selena got humiliated, kicked the bucket, or just left Silver Bay City for good, then maybe her marriage with Donovan could be saved. Catherine was way too hung up on Donovan. They'd known each other forever, like since they were kids. How could she lose to some Barbara who just showed up outta nowhere?

After the bodyguard dragged Selena away, he tossed her into this pitch-black room.

This dark room was the go-to spot for punishing folks, and you couldn't see squat in there.

Once she got thrown in, Selena instinctively leaned against the wall, but she heard these creepy rustling sounds. Totally freaky in that kind of place.

Her hand brushed against something soft and cold, and she realized it was a snake.

She screamed, but the room was so big her voice just echoed, making it even scarier.

In the darkness, those slithery things surrounded her, sometimes even crawling over her feet.

Selena curled up, trying not to think about it.

But it was so dark, and that kind of darkness just made you wanna give up.

Outside, Catherine was still chatting with a bunch of women. After sending everyone off, she called Mia.

Mia was still a mess, her lips trembling when she picked up the call.

"Mia, I got Selena locked up in a dark room with snakes. Leave her there for a week, and she'll be scared to death. This is payback for you."

Mia froze, her face going pale.

Sure, she blamed everything on Selena to save her own skin, but Selena was Raymond's precious Penny. If Selena died, would Raymond hate her for it? She got all anxious but heard Catherine continue, "Don't tell Raymond about this."

Mia opened her mouth but didn't dare say a word.

She was stuck in the nightmare of being raped, couldn't sleep.

Every time she woke up, she hated Selena more, but deep down, she knew it wasn't Selena's fault.

Plus, Selena had promised her nothing bad would happen to her.

"Mia, she deserves to die. If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't have been raped. Think about it, if people replace out about this later, who would still like you?" Catherine pressed. Those words hit Mia like a needle.

What she hated most was being violated by that disgusting kidnapper.

Seeing Mia's silence, Catherine knew she had given in, so she asked, "At tonight's party, someone said Selena is Raymond's designer Penny. Are they still spreading that rumor?" Mia replied, "Yeah, Raymond really likes her, but he doesn't know she's Selena."

Hearing this, Catherine couldn't stand it.

Barbara had taken away the man she loved most, and now Barbara's daughter wanted to take away her only son!

A trace of malice flashed in Catherine's eyes. "Remember, don't let Raymond know about this. I'll pick a suitable wife for him later."

Mia didn't dare say anything. After hanging up, she curled up on the bed.

Catherine then told her people to throw some centipedes in the dark room and warned, "No water or food for her. Lock her up for three days, and she'll go nuts."

In that dark room, with snakes and centipedes, even a grown man couldn't last three days.

Selena would definitely lose it.

Catherine sneered, feeling immense satisfaction at the thought of Barbara going mad even in death.

At night, the whole Silver Bay City went quiet.

Raymond was holding several meetings in the study at Manston Manor. He couldn't shake off the anger from being rejected by Penny in the private room.

When John came in, he couldn't help but advise him, "Mr. Montague, Ms. Cooper's been through a marriage, so she might be more cautious about relationships." Raymond lowered his eyes, the ice in them quickly solidifying. Why should he care about her past marriage? It had nothing to do with him.

The important thing was, she had rejected him, and it was a ruthless rejection.
