Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 796 Trying to Cause Trouble for Selena

"Jacob." Selena gave his shoulder a little pat.

Outta nowhere, Jacob just puked.

Selena freaked and called the nurse again. After checking him out, they said it was 'cause he got scared outta his mind.

Selena hung around for another three hours, but Jacob was still out cold.

She had no choice but to hire a couple of hospital attendants to keep an eye on him.

Just as she was about to bounce, Jacob suddenly mumbled, "The Montague family... it was them, Selena. They chopped off my leg."

Jacob wasn't dumb. After losing his leg, he crawled outta that alley, driven by sheer will to survive. He overheard the two bodyguards talking about how Mia ended up like this. Jacob was in so much pain he almost blacked out, but he caught one line clear as day: "Do the Montague family people all have some psychological issues?"

One was Catherine, the other was Mia. Both of 'em were nuts.

So Jacob knew it was the Montague family who did this to him.

He didn't know much about the Montague family, just that they were scary as hell.

Selena froze in her tracks and turned back, shocked. "Jacob, you're awake?"

Jacob was indeed awake, tears streaming down his face. "Selena, the Montague family is terrifying. They wanna kill me. They chopped off my leg with an axe. I'm really scared." A grown man, scared outta his wits.

Selena couldn't help but feel sad. Back when she was with the Layman family, she could still talk to Jacob.

Even though Jacob had done a lot of bad stuff later, he didn't deserve this.

"Selena, I'm so scared. My leg is gone." Jacob had already been amputated and would be in a wheelchair for life. No denying that.

Selena didn't know how to comfort him, so she just asked, "Are you sure it was the Montague family?"

"Yeah, it was them."

Selena looked at Jacob's legs, or what was left of them. Who in the Montague family could it be?

Meanwhile, over at the Montague family...

Since that crappy dinner at the hotel, no one had checked on Mia.

The shrink talked to her every day, but Mia was super resistant.

She was always scheming to split up Raymond and Selena.

Finally, tonight her bodyguard reported that the beggar had found Selena.

All of this was her doing; otherwise, she would've had Jacob offed long ago.

"Did Selena rescue him?" Mia asked.

"Yeah, Ms. Montague," the bodyguard replied.

Mia's lips curled, and she rubbed her red eyes.

She'd been crying a lot lately, and her eyes were always puffy. Now she finally had something to do.

She immediately ran to Manston Manor to replace Raymond.

Raymond had just gotten back to Manston Manor. Seeing her, he didn't kick her out but asked, "What's up?"

"Raymond, I messed up."

"What kind of trouble?"

"I've been in a bad mood and went drinking. When I left the bar, a homeless guy tried to mess with me. I freaked out and had my bodyguard cut off his foot. Now I'm scared the cops will replace out and drag the Montague family into it." Raymond rubbed his temples. "I'll talk to the cops."

Mia sighed in relief. "What about that guy's foot? I'm scared he'll sue me."

"I'll have someone give him some money, but don't let this happen again," Raymond said.

"Okay, okay, thanks!" Mia replied.

As she was about to leave, Raymond added, "And stop causing trouble for Selena."

Mia's steps froze, a flash of hatred in her eyes, but she obediently replied, "I get it. Don't worry, I won't."

Raymond had someone replace the beggar. To make sure Mia was telling the truth, he even checked the bar's surveillance footage.

But the footage was too dark. It only showed the homeless guy approaching Mia and saying something. Mia suddenly stepped back, and then the bodyguard took the homeless guy away.

It seemed like Mia was telling the truth.

Raymond had someone track down the beggar and wrote a check for $300,000, sending someone to deliver it.

But when he found out the beggar's name was Jacob, it rang a bell. After thinking for a bit, he remembered that Selena's cousin was also named Jacob.

He'd been going over info about Selena and had memorized quite a few names.

"But this can't be her cousin. Her cousin isn't a beggar," Raymond thought.
