Reclaiming Her Heart

Compared to other women who would mock and frame her because of Raymond, Lucille's attitude was really too good.

Selena's affection for her rose instantly.

"Ms. Jade, you're right not to be with him, you two are not suitable."

Lucille started laughing again, finished the coffee in her hand, and heard the bell ringing outside.

"Sorry, my brother Vance just finished class. He's in high school this year, and I promised to come and have lunch with him. His study schedule is tight, so I asked him to come here. I hope you don't mind, Ms. Fair." Selena had investigated before coming and knew that Lucille had a younger brother, but not biological; he was adopted by her. As for how he was adopted, only she knew.

Soon, she saw a tall young man, about eighteen years old, walking across the street. He was handsome and upright, full of youthful energy.

There were several classmates around him, but he and Lucille had a similar temperament, a bit cold.

Probably seeing Lucille, he said goodbye to his classmates and quickly walked over.

"Lucille."

He called out, not even glancing at Selena.

Lucille nodded at him and took out a lunch box from her bag.

"I brought this for you, eat up."

Vance Jade nodded, sat down, and quietly opened the lunch box.

Seeing his good looks, Selena couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Jade, have you ever thought about letting Vance enter the entertainment industry?" Lucille shook her head, "He's more suited for studying."

Vance's gaze then fell on Selena, he nodded politely, and then slowly started eating.

Unlike lively high school students, Vance was a bit silent.

Selena's gaze lingered on him for a moment, feeling that the way he looked at Lucille was a bit strange.

She wisely didn't speak at this moment, but waited until Vance finished eating and went back to class before asking Lucille.

"Ms. Jade, why did you suddenly come to have lunch with Vance today? I remember you are often not in Silver Bay City."

The coldness on Lucille's face disappeared instantly.

"Vance has always been the top student in his grade during these high school years, but recently his ranking suddenly dropped to over two hundred. His teacher called me, so I came back from abroad. He will be applying for college next year, and I'm worried that something might be affecting him recently."

Selena silently stirred her coffee. Vance was very good-looking, and being the top student for a long time, he must be a prominent figure in school. But his temperament was too similar to Lucille's, as if he was imitating her.

Lucille was a bit cold to people, and being a literary creator, she easily immersed herself in her own world. Once immersed, she wouldn't connect with the outside world.

Liking a woman like Lucille would probably leave one at a loss.

Once at a loss, one might use some special means to force her back.

Selena had an idea, "Ms. Jade, your script doesn't lack investment now. The probability of me being chosen is very low, but I really like your script. I can also try to be friends with Vance. Ms. Jade, your personality doesn't like to talk to people, but my company has many young people like him. Maybe Vance would be willing to open up to me?"

Lucille looked at her doubtfully, "Ms. Fair, if you want to lure Vance into the entertainment industry, forget it. I know how dirty this circle is."

"No, just to help Vance open up."noveldrama

Lucille was somewhat skeptical. In the few days since she returned, she had been trying to chat with Vance, but he was always avoiding her.

On the surface, Vance seemed as obedient as before, but something had changed, though she couldn't pinpoint what.

"Okay, Ms. Fair, if you can really solve Vance's problem, I'll choose your investment for this script. But you have to be prepared; without a few billion dollars of investment, you can't achieve the effect I want." "Ms. Jade, rest assured."

Selena breathed a sigh of relief, a smile forming on her lips.

Back in the car, she turned on her phone and found new messages from Raymond.

[My head is still dizzy, but I have an international meeting tonight.]

[Are you planning to ignore me forever?]

[Since Grandpa passed away, you haven't visited his grave. How about tomorrow?]

Selena couldn't ignore the last question.
