Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 799 This Is Just a Bait

She had someone check out where Jacob had his accident and nailed down the spot real quick.

This place had a bunch of cameras. Mia had someone mess around here, clearly not thinking it through, just wanting to make Jacob suffer a bit.

Selena tracked down one of the camera guys, but he was all nervous and wouldn't hand over the footage from that night.

"Did someone tell you to do this?" Selena asked.

The guy immediately looked down. "Sorry, that footage is gone. All of it from that night is deleted. You're too late."

Selena didn't buy it and checked a few other cameras, only to replace they were wiped clean too.

She felt a chill run down her spine and knew right away this was Raymond's doing.

She looked around, hoping to replace a camera they missed, but there was nothing.

Since Raymond's crew did it, they must've done a thorough job.

When Selena got back to her car, she was so mad she gripped the steering wheel tight.

Her chest was heaving, and just then, Mia called.

"Selena, I heard you went to check the surveillance footage?" she asked.

Selena didn't answer, and Mia kept talking. "Raymond had the footage deleted ages ago. You won't replace it. I'm at Montague Manor right now. Wanna come over and talk?"

"Talk about what? Mia, with the beef you have with me now, there's nothing to talk about," Selena said.

"Come if you want. I just remembered hearing the kidnappers talking in the building. It seemed to be about your mom," Mia said.

This was bait.

Selena had just learned from Jacob that there was a slim chance Barbara was still alive, and Mia's words hit the mark.

So she went to Montague Manor, as she had something to discuss with Mia anyway.

Montague Manor was pretty empty today. When Selena walked in, even the door to the first-floor hall was open.

She went inside and saw Mia standing on the second floor, looking at her coldly. "Selena, we do need to have a good talk." Selena slowly walked up to the second floor. Just as she got next to Mia, Catherine came out of a nearby room.

Catherine probably didn't expect Selena to show up at Montague Manor and screamed in anger, "You bitch, how dare you come here!"

She immediately tried to run over and strangle Selena.

Selena dodged, but then saw Mia suddenly reach out and push Catherine down the high stairs.

Catherine's head hit a sharp corner on the first floor, and she passed out, with blood all over the back of her head, lying motionless on the ground. Before Selena could react, she saw Mia, in a daze, hand her a vase.

"Mia, what are you doing?" Selena asked.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mia picked up another vase and smashed it on her own head.

Her head was instantly covered in blood, and she screamed as she ran downstairs, even falling halfway, shouting, "Help! Selena is trying to kill us!"

Suddenly, the previously empty Montague Manor was filled with many servants who started screaming at the scene.

When Mia hit herself with the vase, she injured her head, and combined with the fall down the stairs, she was barely holding on. "Call the police! Call the police! Selena is trying to kill us!" Mia shouted.

The servants quickly called the police, and when the officers arrived at Montague Manor, they immediately handcuffed Selena.

It wasn't until Selena felt the cold metal of the handcuffs that she snapped back to reality.

She couldn't believe that Mia would push Catherine down such a high staircase, couldn't believe that Mia would hit her own head with a vase so hard. Even though she knew Mia's mindset had changed, she didn't expect her to be so ruthless to Catherine.

That was her elder, the relative who watched her grow up, the mother of the person she cared about, Raymond.

Mia was willing to do anything to make Selena pay.

In this round, Selena lost without injustice.

When Selena arrived at the police station, her mind was blank until a blinding light shone on her face, causing her to frown slightly.

"Name, age." The police began to ask routine questions.

But Selena just looked up, seeing nothing but the blinding light.

She lowered her head and remained silent.
