Reclaiming Her Heart

"Anyway, first apologize to Beatrice, she's been looking for Alice for a long time tonight." These words seemed like a steel knife and sharp fork, instantly stabbing into Selena's heart. James reassured Beatrice while he was about to reach out and pat his daughter's shoulder.

"Selena, it's not that dad doesn't speak for you, Alice's body...you know what the doctor said If you don't take good care of it, it is estimated that you can only live another ten years." Selena dodged away.

It was just a tiny misalignment, but there was the wind pervasively between the two.

James froze, a touch of loss crossed his face, "This time it was Beatrice who was impulsive, your face is swollen, I'll go get you medicine."

A slap and then a sweet date, Selena had had enough of this approach.

"Dad, it's not necessary."

Her tone was light and she let go of the hand touching her cheek.

"I'm leaving, if Alice wakes up, you guys just keep an eye on the person."

She turned around to leave, but heard Beatrice sneer, "Finally, you're showing your true colors, aren't you?

"Beatrice!"

James finally reprimanded, feeling that she had gone too far.

"Selena, Beatrice is angry, don't worry about what she said......"

Selena's mouth hooked up in a sarcastic arc, "I daresay I hope Alice will be safe, but I guess no one in the Fair family will believe me, and Beatrice, this slap I suffered, will be the last time." After saying that, she did not stop in the slightest to enter the elevator.

As soon as the elevator door closed, Beatrice pointed a trembling finger at the place where Selena was just standing.

"Look at her attitude, I think she doesn't think of you as a father at all!"

James sighed.

"The Montague family has come through and is willing to help us through the second round of financing, all because Selena fought for it, she does inevitably get capricious sometimes, but you, as an elder, shouldn't slap her at every turn." Beatrice skimmed her lips, still wondering if she slapped hard enough.

Selena came out of the elevator disoriented, the pain not on her face, but in her heart.

She had never cared what Beatrice thought of her, but now the scales in her father's heart had tipped, badly.

And it was tilted in favor of Beatrice's family.

In a bit of a hurry to get out of the elevator, she walked all the way forward and bumped into someone at the corner, taking a few steps straight backwards.

She didn't look up to see who the other person was, said a weak 'sorry' with her head down still trying to get away.

But an unsure voice came from behind her, "Selena?"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Selena stiffened and turned around to see that it was Carter's mother, Grace.

Grace was dressed in a decent suit, carrying a Hermes bag in her hand, and was surprised to see the redness on her face, curing some anger. "Who hit you, did you and Carter have a fight?"

Selena originally had depression in her heart, and at this time, when she met Grace again, she was only nervous.

Now that Carter is not here, shouldn't she confess to Grace?

Otherwise, when things get harder and harder to explain, it will be really hard to hide the tiger.

"Ms Montague, actually I ......"

Before the words were finished, Grace took her hand and went to one of the wards, greeting the doctor to put medicine on her cheek.

There are outsiders here, Selena also couldn't say anything else, only feel as if she was carrying a psychological burden.

Grace saw Selena's well-behaved appearance, but she was furious.

Today, her personal doctor was not available to deliver the Chinese medicine she usually took, so she wanted to have it delivered to her, but she happened to be passing by the hospital, and decided she came in to pick it up herself, not expecting to meet Carter's girlfriend, who was still in such a mess.

Grace took out her cell phone and tried to call her son's number, but couldn't get through.

He was probably at a party with a group of friends again.

She called Raymond.

"Raymond, have someone check Carter's location, the bastard has really turned against us."

Raymond glanced outside at the night and was a bit puzzled, "Auntie, what's wrong with Carter again?"

"He beat up this little girl Selena, I really didn't think he would do it to a girl!"
