Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 748 If He Were Selena's Family

Selena was huddled in the corner, still banging her head against the wall. The force had lessened, and she was just mechanically repeating the motion.

The dude was also freaked out by those creatures, his movements kinda stiff. He quickly walked toward Selena, planning to get it on with her after getting her out. He grabbed Selena, who screamed and shoved him away hard.

Selena couldn't even make out what was in front of her; she had just one thought-get the hell out. Didn't matter where, just not in that room anymore.

The guy, pushed away, fell onto a bunch of snakes and started screaming like a maniac.

Selena seemed to snap awake suddenly. She rushed over and slammed the dude's head onto the floor.

The guy felt a wave of dizziness and blacked out.

She got up and walked out, but having been hungry for a day, her stomach was cramping.

There was no one outside. Catherine had sent everyone away to make it easier for the bodyguards to rape Selena, which now made it easier for Selena to escape. She stumbled along the path to the outside, falling several times along the way.

She was too scared to make a sound and fell onto the villa's landscaped path, where a pair of leather shoes appeared in front of her.

Richard looked at Selena in surprise. "Penny?"

Selena reached out a hand and carefully grabbed the corner of his suit pants, saying, "Help me."

After saying that, she fainted.

Richard came to Montague Manor today at Catherine's invitation.

The Smith family's influence was formidable, and his dad suddenly wanted him to stick around Silver Bay City for a bit and schmooze with the rich folks there.

This was what Richard was best at. Even though he didn't get his dad's reasons, he had to go along with it since he was told to.

Catherine had thrown a party yesterday and set up a small gathering today, saying there'd be a surprise for everyone later.

Catherine was ruthless and unrelenting. If Selena really slept with the bodyguards, she could justifiably catch them in the act with so many people around, and Selena would never be able to stay in Silver Bay City again.

And with Selena in such a miserable state now, Catherine would definitely say she was crazy. Only a madwoman would hook up with a bodyguard in her ex-husband's parents' villa, and no one would argue against it at the scene. A surge of anger rose in Richard's chest. He instantly understood the Montague family's scheme.

'Why treat a woman like this?' Richard thought.

He had his people quietly dress Selena up, pretending she was a drunk guest being taken out.

Thus, Selena disappeared from Montague Manor without a trace.

Meanwhile, Catherine was still entertaining guests in the hall.

To avoid suspicion, Richard also went to the hall.

There were a lot of people in the hall, and then Catherine pretended to announce a surprise, leading everyone to the room.

But the expected chaotic scene didn't happen.

Catherine frowned. She had planned to ruin Selena's reputation in these two days and, after witnessing her affair with the bodyguard, tell everyone that Selena was Barbara's daughter. She would also reveal that Barbara was the woman who had messed around with Donovan, so everyone would unite against her.

But now Selena was missing, and the bodyguard was gone too.

She called other bodyguards to quietly inquire about Selena's whereabouts, but no one knew.

Catherine's face twisted into an expression of deep displeasure. "You let her escape right under your noses?"

She pushed the door open and found a bodyguard unconscious inside.

And the people waiting outside the room were still asking, "Mrs. Montague, what's the surprise?"

Catherine took a deep breath, feeling extremely pissed for missing such a good opportunity.

She had to come up with another excuse, so she said, "I wanted to show everyone a painting."

To keep everyone calm, she had someone bring out a famous painting.

There was only one original in the world, and it had never been exhibited before, which indeed matched the surprise she had mentioned.

Only Richard knew what Catherine had originally planned.

Truly vicious.

If he were Selena's family, he would never let her have anything to do with the Montague family in the future.

What would have happened to Selena if he hadn't been there today?

Unimaginable!
