Reclaiming Her Heart

Raymond entered the private room, and there were many people inside, all from this circle.

"Hey, hey, have you guys heard about that company that suddenly emerged recently? It took over all of the Smith family's business in Silver Bay City. It's not even listed yet, but its market value has already reached billions of dollars." "I've heard about it. They also invested in that big IP project in the east of the city. They probably won't have to worry about business for the next three years." "They say it will be listed next month. I really wonder who the boss behind it is."

Raymond sat on the side, listening to everyone talk about the company, and then they started talking about beautiful women.noveldrama

Then someone noticed that Victor hadn't said a word the whole time and couldn't help but tease him.

"The other day when Paul came over, he had scratches on his neck from a woman. Carter has several girlfriends. It seems like the only virgin here is Victor, right?" Victor was always the quietest one at gatherings, and since he was a doctor, he was often absent from most occasions.

Among this group, he had the best relationship with Raymond.

Someone asked Victor with a smile, "Dr. Barnes?"

Victor raised an eyebrow slightly. He was rarely the subject of their discussions, and he didn't know who started it today.

He rarely wore suits in private, usually opting for loose clothing except for his white coat at the hospital.

At this moment, he rolled up his sleeves, and the veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible with a slight effort.

Someone else, eager to stir up more trouble, said, "It would be interesting if Victor and Raymond ever liked the same person." Raymond glanced at the speaker with a light gaze.

Victor laughed out loud, his expression serious, "Impossible."

He had no interest in Selena, while Raymond seemed determined to be with her.

The group started talking about other things again, except for Paul, who was sitting next to Raymond and didn't join in the conversation. "Raymond, there's been no movement from Lawrence's side."

Given Lawrence's methods, it was strange that there was no action.

Raymond pushed the drink away, thought for a moment, then drank a few more glasses, even deliberately choosing several strong liquors.

Paul's brow furrowed deeply as he heard Raymond say, "If I get drunk later, call Selena for me."

Just as he finished speaking, Carter walked in from outside the private room.

"Raymond, it seems like Selena is in trouble outside."

At the entrance of the Sky Gallery hall, Selena was about to leave when she ran into another group of people. One of the women directly threw a glass of wine at her.

The scene caught everyone off guard.

Selena was drenched, and the woman looked smug.

"Shameless bitch, seducing Tessa's boyfriend. Why don't you just die!"

Selena looked up at the woman.

The woman was about the same age as her, full of anger, and even threw the glass at her.

Someone quickly stopped her, "Isla, calm down. Didn't you see Tessa? She's fine."

Isla Bailey was furious and wanted to slap Selena. Her eyes were filled with hatred, "Just wait. I'll be staying in Silver Bay City for a while, and I'll make sure to ruin you, bitch!" Selena guessed that she was probably from Vistalia, here to visit Tessa.

She walked closer and slapped Isla without hesitation.

Isla was stunned by the slap, "Do you know who I am?"

The other women who were holding Isla back were also shocked and glared at Selena.

"Even though this isn't Vistalia, crushing you would be as easy as crushing an ant. How dare you hit Isla? You're finished."

Isla wanted to pounce on Selena and strangle her.

Selena took a step back and pulled out a tissue to wipe the wine off her face.

Isla continued to curse, "Whore! We've all heard about it. Your whole family are criminals, still locked up in prison. The whole country knows. What right do you have to be in this circle? You can't even compare to Tessa's little finger." As soon as she finished speaking, the frail-looking Tessa walked in from outside, quickly stopping Isla.

"Isla, don't do this."

She looked weak and fragile, accompanied by Lawrence and Richard.

Both men had distinguished temperaments, one cold and mature, the other charming and smooth. They were like protectors, carefully guarding her.

Behind these two men were several other young men, all comforting Tessa. Their words were mixed with Solstice language, not very fluent, but they tried their best to use the words they could think of to comfort Tessa. These were friends from Tessa's circle who had come all the way from Vistalia.

Tessa bit her lip, tears streaming down her face, and held onto Lawrence's arm, "Lawrence, let's all go inside."

In contrast, Selena was alone, cold, and isolated.

Tessa was the center of attention, while Selena was just a dim star.
