Reclaiming Her Heart

Rachel had known Larry for ages, so she totally got what he was up to.

The dude was always a sucker for a pretty face, and after all these years, he still chased after the hot ones.

"Larry, you interested?" Rachel asked, eyebrow raised.

Larry nodded, swallowing hard.

Rachel quickly weighed her options. Sure, the Montague family might come after her, but if Raymond didn't give a damn about Selena, why should she? She signaled to her bodyguards. "Grab her."

Two more bodyguards moved in on Selena, but she whipped out some pepper spray and nailed them right in the eyes.

As the bodyguards howled in pain, she bolted down the hallway. But as she turned the corner, she smacked right into a guy's chest. The scent was kinda familiar.

No time to think, she tried to keep running, but the guy grabbed her by the waist.

"Why are you running? Got yourself in trouble again?"

It was Raymond's voice.

By now, the bodyguards had caught up.

These guys were only used to dealing with celebs, so they had no clue who Raymond was.

They reached out to grab Selena and threw some insults at Raymond. "Step aside, buddy. This chick is Mr. Hall's pick for the night."

Raymond's eyes darkened, and he gave off a seriously scary vibe.

He held Selena tight and growled, "And who the hell is Mr. Hall?"

He was so pissed he could barely talk straight.

"Explain this! Who's this random dude you're messing with?" Raymond snapped at Selena.

Selena was almost speechless. 'Seriously, Raymond? Now's not the time for this!'

Raymond suddenly stared at her, his lips curling into a cold smirk. "Or are you really that desperate?"

Just then, a fat, greasy-haired guy came running over, his face lit up with excitement.

Selena whispered, "That's Mr. Hall."

Seeing Larry, Raymond raised an eyebrow, finally getting the picture.

The bodyguards, seeing Larry, seemed to relax. "Mr. Hall, he's holding onto her and won't let go," they said. Realizing who it was, Larry broke out in a cold sweat.

Rachel was right behind him, and when she saw Raymond, she was even more shocked.

She lowered her eyes but heard Raymond ask Selena, "Were you bullied?"

Selena was quiet for a few seconds, then slowly nodded.

Raymond turned to glare at Larry, letting out a cold laugh.

Rachel was worried that if things got worse, the Montague Group would crush All Star Entertainment, which would be a huge loss.

"Mr. Montague, it's all a misunderstanding, a big misunderstanding," Rachel said quickly.

Standing next to Rachel was Ronald, held by two bodyguards. Ronald had Selena's broken phone and finally got a chance to give it back to her. Selena looked surprised, took it, and said, "Thanks."

Ronald nodded, made eye contact with her, then looked away.

Seeing them exchange glances right in front of him, Raymond felt a surge of jealousy.

'Who the hell is this guy?'

Raymond instantly felt threatened and held Selena even tighter.

Noticing her broken phone screen, he asked coldly, "Who broke it?"

His gaze lingered on Rachel's face before landing on Larry.

Larry stiffened and forced a smile. "It wasn't me."

Admitting it now would be asking for trouble.

Rachel's face turned pale. "I accidentally broke it. I'll compensate Ms. Fair."

Hearing this, Selena immediately took out her phone and recited her bank account number. "Note the account and transfer the money."

Rachel was fuming, but under Raymond's pressure, she had no choice but to transfer the money.

After getting the money, Selena looked at Ronald.

"Ronald, wanna come with me? I'll pay your breach of contract fee, and you can sign with my company. How about it?"

She was smart, knowing Ronald's situation, and offering him a lifeline now, he wouldn't refuse.

But Raymond's gaze grew colder and more intense. "Selena, what do you mean by this?"

Using his influence to save another guy?

What did she take him for?
