Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 837 He Smiled at Her Pleasingly

Selena was pissed. Lying around like this was just gonna mess up his back even more.

Fiona was freaking out on the side. "Ms. Fair, what do we do?"

Selena's brow was twitching. Without a second thought, she yanked him up. "Raymond, your back's messed up. Take the damn fever medicine first." Raymond's eyes were all foggy. Drunk and burning up, he was totally out of it.

Selena shoved the fever medicine into his mouth again. To keep him from spitting it out, she jammed it in with her fingertip.

When he tried to spit it out, he bit her finger.

Selena felt a tingle on her scalp. Just as she was about to yell, he bit another finger.

The wetness and heat made her cheeks flush.

With Fiona still there, she freaked out and pushed him away.

She grabbed a tissue and wiped her fingers, looking pissed.

Raymond clung to her again. "Selena, do you hate me?" he asked.

"No," Selena replied.

"Really? Then I'll kiss you there," Raymond said.

Selena quickly covered his mouth and glanced at the embarrassed Fiona, saying, "Fiona, you should go to bed. I'll wait here for the doc."

Fiona pretended not to hear Raymond's words, nodded fast, put the fever medicine on the coffee table, and bolted.

Selena was worried that if Fiona stuck around, Raymond would say even more embarrassing stuff.

Once Fiona left, she let go of his mouth.

"Will you die if you don't talk nonsense?" she inquired, gritting her teeth.

Raymond looked all innocent, like he didn't even know he pissed her off, and just smiled at her.

Looking at his face, Selena finally sighed and quietly waited for the doc.

Raymond lay on the couch, showing off the swollen wound on his back, and hooked her finger with his, falling asleep.

Ten minutes later, the doc showed up and treated his back.

"Ms. Fair, make sure his back stays dry. Be super careful," said the doc.

"Got it," Selena replied.

After the doc left, Selena got up to head upstairs, but Raymond groggily followed her.

His back had just been treated, so he could only sleep on his stomach. No way he could crash on the couch, or else the maids would replace a half-naked dude on the couch in the morning.

Raymond, knowing the place well, went straight to Selena's bedroom, lay on the bed, and stayed put.

Selena was pissed and grossed out by the smell of booze on him, so she went to the bathroom to grab a towel and wiped him down.

When she got to his junk, he slowly opened his eyes and gave her this deep stare.

Selena thought he had sobered up, but he just rasped, "It hurts from being hard." Her fingers froze, and she snapped back, "Hope it hurts you to death."

'Seriously, how could he still get a reaction at a time like this?' Selena thought.

Raymond didn't say anything, just buried his head in the pillow and knocked out completely.

After wiping him down, Selena went to crash in the guest room.

Lying in bed, she still felt restless. She should've just tossed him out.

Blame it on Raymond being too clingy when drunk-and thick-skinned, too.

She rubbed her brow. Whatever, she'd kick him out first thing in the morning.

The next morning, just as she woke up, the bodyguard came to report last night's events.

"Ms. Fair, that girl agreed to our terms. Reporters just interviewed her, and it's blowing up on all the major platforms. Aria's name is trending," the bodyguard said. Selena jumped out of bed, washed up, and quickly opened her laptop.

At the same time, she called Sophia. "Sophia, retweet the media interview with that girl on your Twitter now, and just add one sentence Justice will not be absent."" Sophia didn't waste a second and retweeted the interview.

But seeing her retweet, the netizens who were already cursing her started going off even more.

[What does this have to do with you? Your brawling incident isn't over yet.]

[Why are you jumping in now, making people sick? Do you think we've forgotten about you?]

[This is the kind of artist Selena signs, both equally despicable!]

The hate kept pouring in, especially at this critical moment. Sophia dared to retweet someone else's post when her own issues weren't sorted out yet.

With S.M Corporation stirring the pot, the interview news quickly shot to the top of the trending list. Soon, netizens dug up that the woman who took the girl's spot was the same second female lead Sophia had beaten up, named Aria. Next, Aria's background got exposed.

Silver Bay City, the White Family, a wealthy and powerful clan.

The girl who got replaced had been reporting this for years and had already gathered enough evidence, especially her now useless hands. Those once beautiful, slender hands could no longer play the piano, making her look pitiful. Public opinion tended to side with the underdog.
