Reclaiming Her Heart

Lawrence's gaze fell on Selena, and he frowned, but his good manners prevented him from making any sarcastic remarks at this moment.

After all, Selena was alone over there, while they had the advantage in numbers.

Tessa had just been discharged from the hospital today and planned to come here to greet her friends who had come all the way from Vistalia to see her. Seeing Selena alone, she felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Because of her status as Miss of the Smith family, she had many friends in Vistalia and would never be as lonely as Selena.

Moreover, she had specifically called Isla, who had a fiery temper. As long as she shed a few tears, Isla would say some very harsh words.

Isla spoke up again.

"Bitch, we'll get you sooner or later!"

She touched her face and glared at Selena fiercely, as if she wanted to tear her apart.

Tessa quickly intervened, "Isla, let's go inside."

And then she turned around and said, "Lawrence, Richard, let's go."

Richard stood aside and sighed slightly. After Tessa's incident, Lawrence had sternly warned him not to talk to Selena, especially in crowded places.

Moreover, because of those three Hellyword spots, he had promised Tessa something. Now Tessa had made her request, which was the same as Lawrence's: not to talk to Selena in such situations. He could only nod at Selena.

But Isla, with her fiery temper and the advantage of numbers, raised her hand to hit Selena. She was determined to land that slap!

She signaled her two friends to grab Selena's arms and quickly swung her hand.

But her slap was caught in mid-air.

Raymond's other hand landed on Selena's shoulder, pulling her closer to him.

His gaze turned to Lawrence, and he chuckled. The light above illuminated his stunning features, like a touch of coldness in the warm spring.

"Mr. Smith, it's not fair to gang up on just a woman, is it?"noveldrama

His tone was calm, but his gaze was intense.

The two locked eyes in the air, and then Lawrence pursed his lips.

"Mr. Montague, I hope you won't be too busy in a few days."

Raymond raised an eyebrow, his hand still on Selena's shoulder. "Definitely busier than you, Mr. Smith."

He was mocking the Smith family's recent business losses in Silver Bay City to the other side.

Lawrence said nothing, silently grabbing Tessa and leaving, with the others slowly following.

Isla didn't dare say anything either. She had seen Raymond in Vistalia, and now her gaze flickered with fear. She gave Selena a hateful look before quickly following. Selena felt uneasy because of what Lawrence had said, but her attention was soon drawn to the hand on her shoulder.

Raymond's hand had several blisters that hadn't been properly treated, looking somewhat frightening.

She was really worried that his beautiful hand would be ruined.

Raymond waited until everyone had left before silently lowering his hand.

He turned to go back to the private room, but Selena grabbed his wrist. "You didn't use the medicine I sent you?" "Too busy, forgot."

"Raymond, come with me for a while."

Raymond stood still, being pulled slightly by her.

"Do you think I deliberately didn't use it?"

As he said this, his gaze was fixed on her.

Selena's face showed a hint of embarrassment; she did think so.

She believed she understood Raymond to some extent.

Raymond slowly removed her hand. "No need to trouble you, Ms. Fair, I've been really busy lately."

His tone wasn't very pleasant, making Selena feel a slight twinge of guilt.

But Raymond didn't give her time to react and went straight back to his private room.
