Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 891 Did You and Raymond Only Have One Night?

Brenda thought she could totally piss off Selena with her words.

There were a bunch of people hanging around the front desk, and if Selena blew her top, it'd be super embarrassing. Brenda was already grinning like a Cheshire cat.

But Selena just gave her a look and said, "How many times have you bragged to me about that night with Raymond?" Brenda's smug grin froze. She didn't get what Selena was getting at. "Selena, what are you talking about?"

She didn't even bother with the fake politeness of calling her Ms. Fair anymore.

Selena chuckled, "I was just wondering if you only had that one night with Raymond."

Brenda's face went from smug to pissed in a heartbeat. Truth was, she didn't even have that one night. Raymond was just drunk, and she tricked him. She didn't know why it worked so easily. Maybe she just got lucky. Now, with Selena throwing shade, she was speechless.

Selena tucked her hair behind her ear. "You had one night with Raymond, and you can't stop bragging about it. I've had countless nights with him, but have you ever heard me say anything? You said he's tired of me; well, I'm kinda tired of him too. So, no need to rub it in my face. If he wants to spend money on you, that's his business. The role's been decided. If I remember right, I was the one who cut you. Guess I made the right call."

Selena's words left Brenda humiliated, her mind stuck on "You only had one night with him."

Brenda's face turned pale, and she couldn't come up with a comeback.

It wasn't until Selena walked away that Brenda clenched her fists in anger.

'No way, I gotta get back at her!' Brenda took a deep breath, her eyes burning with resentment.

Lately, her friends were laughing at her, and no one believed Raymond was into her.

She had to replace a way to have dinner with Raymond and then flaunt it in front of those women. They'd be so jealous.

She glanced at her belly and got an idea, her eyes filled with determination!

She had to marry into the Montague Family! Then, Selena would be nothing.

In the next few days, Selena worked overtime for two days straight.

She couldn't reach Raymond on the phone. She didn't know he'd gone to Vistalia.

She also called John a bunch of times, trying to get Max back, but John kept saying he wasn't at Manston Manor. Selena had no choice but to either work overtime or chill.

But lying in bed at night, she couldn't stop thinking about the night she was rescued.

That voice, even though it had changed a bit, still felt super familiar to her.

The first time, she could brush it off as her imagination, just wishful thinking. But it happened again.

Thinking about it, she wanted to see Max even more.

Selena threw on her clothes and decided to head to Manston Manor again.

But this time, on her way there, she bumped into Betty, who had just gotten off work.

It was already 2 AM, and Betty was just leaving the office.

Selena parked her car by the curb and saw Betty standing alone, trying to hail a cab.

The night wind was chilly, and Betty was shivering.

It was tough to get a cab at this hour, so Selena pulled up in front of her. "Betty, why are you heading home so late?"

Betty's eyes lit up when she saw her, looking a bit embarrassed. "Ms. Fair."

Selena said, "Hop in, I'll give you a ride home."

Betty shook her head, "Ms. Fair, no need. You just got out of the hospital a few days ago."

Seeing her insist, Selena sighed, "Alright, then text me when you get home."

Betty smiled, "Okay."

When Selena drove to Manston Manor, she found Brenda at the gate.

Was no one sleeping tonight?

She frowned, lost the desire to replace Max, and drove back home.

Meanwhile, Betty waited at the gate for another half hour before a limo pulled up in front of her.

The window rolled down, revealing Nathan's face. "Get in the car."

Betty's face turned pale the moment she saw him, and she silently walked away.

Nathan slowly drove alongside her, talking on the phone, "Alright, I know it didn't work out. Selena is still alive and kicking. If Aria wants something to happen to her, then replace another opportunity."

Hearing this, Betty stopped walking, finally understanding why Selena had been hospitalized a few days ago. It was the White Family again.

After hanging up, Nathan tossed his phone aside.

Seeing her stop, he thought she had changed her mind and quickly got out of the car. "Betty, get in the car first. We can explain to your parents later. I've already started planning the wedding. We can get married next month, just like we originally discussed."

This was indeed what Betty had discussed with him.

Before she knew he was from the White Family, she had wanted to marry him so badly, thinking he was a ray of light in her world.

But now she was clear-headed, realizing that her world had never been dark; all the darkness was brought by him.

Everything before was just self-deception.

Her hand, her parents' jobs, their current plight-all were caused by him.

And he shamelessly slept with her, shamelessly wanting to marry her.

How ridiculous. To him, those harms were nothing.
