Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 170 Caught in the Act
“Can you just leave me alone? They’re my parents, not yours. Besides, isn’t your own family a mess? Stop bothering me, I’m leaving.”
“Go ahead, I’ve already called the police. If you leave, that woman will go to prison.”
Jacob’s footsteps froze, his face twisted.
Selena’s tone was firm. “I will have someone take you back and immediately notify our uncle and
Aunt to pick you up.”
“You!”
After Jacob said this, his tone softened.
“Just stop meddling in my affairs. I’d rather starve outside than go back to that house.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Raymond’s car window was open. He was also present the last time Selena and this man had an
argument.
But Jacob’s accent was too heavy, he only caught the general idea, and Raymond wasn’t really interested in his family affairs.
But he didn’t let the driver start the car, as the driver was still recovering from the shock.
Selena knew Raymond was still there and didn’t want to continue embarrassing herself in front of him, so she made a phone call.
Shortly after, a car stopped, and two tall and burly bodyguards came out and lifted Jacob up like a little chick, directly tying his hands and feet.
Jacob never expected Selena to pull off such a move. He wanted to struggle, but seeing the bulging muscles on the two bodyguards, he was too scared to make a sound.
He was the epitome of cowardice and lack of spirit.
Selena then made another call, this time to their Uncle and Aunt, telling them that they had found Jacob and to be prepared to pick him up. He would be sent back soon.
Brian and Erin were both shocked and realized how much they owed Selena. Erin then mentioned the civil servant she had mentioned before.

“Selena, I’ve done some research. That young man looks quite handsome and has no bad habits. When will you come down to meet him?”
Selena rubbed her temple with her hand and accidentally made eye contact with Raymond.
His profile was sharp and elegant, with a faint glow from the car roof shining in his eyes. Perhaps the night breeze was pleasant because Selena felt her ears burn.
Her Aunt inquired, but it didn’t register in her mind. Instead, she once again noticed that Raymond’s bone structure was truly exquisite, making me want to capture him on canvas.
From his hair to his fingertips, it was as if God meticulously sculpted him, making him the perfect model in the eyes of an artist.
“Aunt, I have to go now, hang up.
In reality, the call had already been ended a few seconds ago. She quickly tapped open the camera app and took a photo of Raymond in his current pose.
When the flash illuminated the street and the distinctive sound of the shutter echoed, Selena felt
as if the entire world had gone silent.
She wanted to tear open a seam in the ground and disappear into it.
Raymond raised an eyebrow and looked towards her.
He lightly tapped his fingertips on the windowsill, his wrist bone taut, emanating a graceful and
smooth sensation.
He didn’t say anything. His cold aura momentarily paused, replaced by a shallow smile in his eyes.
Selena’s cheeks flushed with heat, and she awkwardly changed the topic.
“Mr. Montague, I won’t disturb you any longer. I’m really sorry about earlier. Let’s have dinner another day.”
After speaking, she practically dove into her car, slamming her foot on the accelerator, desperate to escape this planet.
Why did every encounter with Raymond always result in such a baffling situation?
She drove to her recently purchased house in a neighborhood called Rose Garden: It was named after its romantic connotations, which led people to say it was where the rich second–generations kept their mistresses.
Chapter 170 Caught in the Act
As soon as Selena got off the elevator, she heard the sound of lips intertwining. Carter and his. new girlfriend were entangled in a passionate embrace near the entrance.
Selena suspected that she hadn’t checked her luck for the day before leaving. It wouldn’t be good to retreat back into the elevator now, and ignoring the couple entering the house was also
embarrassing.
Luckily, Carter had good intuition and sensed someone approaching, quickly releasing Lillian.
“Baby, I should go now. See you tomorrow.”
Lillian also had a reluctant expression on her face, blushing as she bid farewell.
Once Carter left, Lillian greeted Selena, rubbing her flushed checks.
“Selena, are you free tonight? I’m feeling down, can we chat?”
Selena wasn’t good at socializing, especially with someone like Lillian whom she wasn’t familiar
with.
Especially after experiencing the awkward scene just now, she just wanted to calm down by herself and think about how to approach Raymond next time.
She was about to refuse, but Lillian’s next words cornered her.
“Carter said you’re his friend, very talented and capable. He said I should learn more from you.”
With several compliments bestowed upon her, Selena couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
