Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 189 - It's tto ask for help Selena's work was going smoothly, and she had finalized everything with the suppliers. She had just started to prepare for her trip to Ridgefield tomorrow when suddenly several collaborating companies called, their tone becoming hesitant and evasive.

"Miss Fair, we are sorry, but suddenly we have to-" "Sorry, but I can't take your order anymore. Please try another store." "But..." Selena wanted to ask for more details, but the other person hung up.

She received four consecutive phone calls, all of them canceling orders. Selena sat there, frowning.

Previously, Caterlington had caused trouble, which led to the breakdown of her collaboration with Mr. Wright. Now, Mr. Wright was still looking for her everywhere, but she didn't want to meet him.

She just hoped that the police would take over the matter.

Caterlington had backed off now and handed Cornerstone Construction to her. Everything should have gone smoothly, especially since she had been having pleasant conversations with the suppliers these past two days. But what was happening now? Which part went wrong? Selena couldn't figure it out, and then the group chat in the stubecactive. Matthew tagged her and asked if she had offended someone.

Selena replied with four words - "What do you mean?" Matthew privately messaged her.

'Several designers in the stuhave received cancellations, and the other party specifically mentioned that someone in the stuhad offended them. They hope you will leave the stuand give up the Manhattan project.'] This was even more serious than Caterlington's interception. It had already affected the studio. Selena didn't have good relationships with the people in the studio, and now that she was being canceled, she feared there would be resentments against her.

'Selena, I have already fired Jane here. I heard she has been detained by the police and will have to pay a hefty fine.' The mention of Jane sparked a flash in Selena's mind.

An instant npopped up - Grace.

If there was anyone she had offended recently, it was Grace.

Moreover, Lillian had said those things in front of Grace.

In Grace's mind, she was probably a vixen seducing Raymond and Carter under the guise of a designer.

Grace had always been strict with her son and had high hopes for Raymond. Naturally, she didn't want these two men ruined by one designer.

Realizing this, Selena couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

She now had Grace's phone number, but she doubted the other party would be willing to listen to her explanation.

Moreover, even if she did, she couldn't explain the situation with Raymond clearly.

And from her understanding of Grace, although she cfrom the Montague family, she never abused her power. After hearing Lillian's words, she probably went to other people to confirm her suspicions before resorting to these measures. Selena was now in a dilemma.

If she went to find Raymond, it would show that her professional abilities were weak, as it was her own network that had the problem.

But who else could she turn to? Who could persuade Grace?

Finding Carter was impossible, especially now that Lillian was staring at her, fearing that he would be caught in contacXwith Carter, knowing that it would lead to another disturbance. Selena felt a headache, not understanding how she got herself into this situation. Perhaps she should really go and pray to the Bodhisattva this year. After much contemplation, Raymond was the only person she could think of.

* Raymond had a social engagement tonight and had a few drinks outside. Instead of going back to Ashbourne Manor, he went to a hotel. John took the car and would cto pick him up early tomorrow morning.

Raymond took out his phone and engaged in a business conversation. When he hung up, he accidentally cacross the photo Carter sent him, the painting that Selena had drawn. Undeniably, it touched him! Her artistic skills were commendable, using only black and white, she rendered the scene beautifully. Raymond always had an affinity for art and had attended many art exhibitions, so he could immediately recognize the skill of the person who created this painting. He remembered the night he met her in Ridgefield, where she was painting alone under the lights. Perhaps it was the influence of alcohol, but he found himself thinking about her.

As the elevator doors opened, he unexpectedly saw Selena standing there. She was holding a thermos in her hand. She had gone back to Ashbourne Manor and new om Raymond was not going there tonight, so she made soup and brought it over herself. Although Raymond had previously said there was no need for her to bring soup anymore, since she was asking for his help, she needed to approach him with a humble attitude. "Mr.

Montague," Selena called out obediently, standing straight. As Raymond approached, Selena caught a whiff of alcohol scent from him. It was similar to the Romanée-Conti in the private room that night, mixed with other strong spirits. When Raymond saw her, his gaze wavered slightly, and he silently walked to the door.
