Reclaiming Her Heart

Delia and Kyle never thought they'd find themselves in such a swanky place. Wind had told them that everyone here was worth at least two billion dollars.

As they strolled in, they gawked at the massive villa, the huge swimming pool, and the endless golf course just a stone's throw away. Coming from a small town, they had no clue what golf was; they just thought the hills looked way prettier than the ones back home.

Wind had them working in the kitchen; with their looks and age, they weren't fit for the front hall. Only the young and attractive ones got to serve there. But Delia and Kyle hadn't forgotten his mission. Tonight, Selena was showing up, and their job was to make her lose all her dignity.

Selena didn't recognize them, so they had to make a big scene to scare her. Then they could squeeze a hundred million dollars out of her and live the good life. Delia's eyes sparkled with greed. She'd never seen that much money in her life, and to her, Selena was a walking money tree. No way was she letting Selena get away! Delia shouted, "Selena, stop right there! Why don't you come over and say hi to me and your dad?"

Selena frowned, knowing someone must've arranged for Delia and Kyle to be here.

She turned around but, because of the paternity test, didn't want to say anything too harsh.

Delia marched forward in her servant's uniform, while Kyle wore a security guard's outfit. They looked totally out of place in this fancy setting.

Delia pointed at Selena, yelling, "You kicked me and your dad out of the company last time. Now you're here enjoying this fancy party. Do you know where we slept last night? Under a bridge! The hotels here are too expensive. We asked you to find us a place, but you wouldn't. You have no heart. I almost died giving birth to you."

Delia brought up the childbirth story again, hands on her hips, looking like a typical shrew.

Everyone around stopped to watch the drama unfold. To them, Delia, Kyle, and Selena were just a joke.

Delia kept pointing and cursing at Selena.

Selena took a deep breath, her eyes turning cold. "Are you done?"

Delia thought Selena would be embarrassed and leave, but she didn't expect a response.

Feeling her authority as a parent was being challenged, Delia remembered being thrown out of the company and got even angrier.

She shouted, "I'm not done yet, you unfilial brat! You wouldn't even bail your brother out of jail. Do you want your dad and me to live under a bridge at our age? You have no heart. Everyone, look! Don't do business with her!" The people here tonight were high-status, and such a scene would be embarrassing for anyone involved.

But not for Selena.

Delia kept cursing, while Selena casually looked away.

Selena said calmly, "You say I'm your daughter, and after twenty-some years, the first thing you ask for is two million dollars for hotel expenses and to bail out my brother from jail. Even people who want to use me would at least disguise their intentions a bit. Do you really think blood relations are worth anything?"

Delia didn't get what she meant and immediately resorted to her old trick, sitting down on the ground. "Selena, we came all the way here. If you don't give us an explanation, we won't leave!"

Just then, Emily's voice rang out, "Who is being so rude at such an important event for the Adams family? No manners at all."

Emily was afraid of Selena, but this was a good chance to humiliate her. Besides, this was the Adams family's party, and Selena couldn't do anything to her.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Plus, Raymond had come with Tessa tonight, and almost everyone here thought Raymond and Tessa were together and would soon get married.
