Reclaiming Her Heart

As soon as she left, Darren stood up and looked Betty up and down. She was still wearing Nathan's suit jacket, and the fabric looked expensive.

"Betty, you've only been gone for ten minutes. Did you go outside to have sex?"

Betty took off the jacket and threw it into the nearby trash can. "Do you think I'm like you?"noveldrama

Darren hugged her. "Shall we continue?"

"Forget it, Darren. Twice is enough. I'm tired of it."

She started changing clothes right there, not avoiding his gaze at all.

Darren immediately became angry and embarrassed. "We've only had sex twice, and you're tired of it? Betty, there are plenty of women out there who want to sleep with me!" Betty had already put on her coat and grabbed her bag.

"That has nothing to do with me. I have an acting class later, and I'm joining a film crew next week. Let's not see each other for a while."

"No, Betty, it used to be me to be cold after sex."

Betty had already reached the door. "Just think of me as the bad one."

With that, she closed the door and headed to the underground parking lot.

Meanwhile, Selena was walking through the first-floor lobby.

Nathan had brought her here, and she was going to catch a cab by the roadside.

But just a few feet out of the lobby, she saw Nathan standing by the roadside, smoking.

In just ten minutes, there were already cigarette butts all around his feet.

Selena wanted to pretend she didn't see him, but he was standing right where she needed to catch a cab.

She frowned and walked over slowly, hearing him say, "Selena, if you help me get Betty back, I'll give you the White family."

His eyes were bloodshot as he threw the cigarette butt at his feet and took out another one.

"Or tell me, what do you want me to do for you? Who do you want me to kill? As long as you can get Betty back with me."

He was almost choking on his words.

But Selena didn't feel sorry for him at all. If Betty hadn't met the White family, how happy would she be in this life?

She had a natural talent for the piano. She could have studied abroad, participated in various events after returning, and her parents would still be running their small business.

She would have met a romantic man with the same musical talent at a concert, instead of giving up everything for fame and fortune.

The old Betty only knew how to love. From now on, she only loved power and money. How great was that? Women shouldn't hold themselves to too high a moral standard. The more one could give up, the greater one could achieve.

"Mr. White, you overestimate me. I'm just Betty's boss. I can't decide who she likes."

"You can!"

Nathan's tone suddenly became obsessive. He grabbed her shoulder tightly. "Selena, she trusts you so much. As long as you say it, she will do as you say." "Let go of me..."

Before she could finish, Nathan's expression turned fierce, and he shoved her into the car. The next second, a bullet was fired at the spot where Selena had been standing.

The bullet hit the glass and was deflected.

Selena sat inside, calmly watching the scene.

Nathan was already in the driver's seat. "Someone wants to kill you. Three o'clock direction. They've been following us."

He started the car and focused on the road ahead.

Selena closed her eyes, not knowing where he was taking her.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at Manston Manor. Nathan was the first to call Raymond.

Selena, exhausted from the late hour and consecutive overtime, had fallen asleep in the passenger seat. So when Raymond opened the passenger door, he saw her sleeping face. "Why is she in your car?"

"Someone wants to kill her. A top-notch professional assassin. If she dies, Betty will definitely think I did it."

He was just scared and could only think of Raymond at that moment.

Even though Raymond was the reason he had been in a coma for two months, he didn't want to hold any grudges. He just wanted Betty to come back to him.

This leash that could control the mad Nathan was, as Selena had predicted, firmly in her and Betty's hands.
