Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 378 At least Raymond can afford this price.

Selena didn't move. Just a while ago, she could still walk on her own, but now she struggled even with the support of a cane.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

James simply looked at her, then slowly sat down and dejectedly placed his cane aside.

Wrinkles suddenly appeared around the corners of his eyes. With his age already in his fifties and the addition of white hair, Selena was hesitant to look at him.

"Selena, the Fair family is finished," James said, his shoulders trembling slightly. "I'm sorry, there's nothing left to leave you." They had sold the Fair family's company and assets to barely offset their debts. There was truly nothing left for Selena.

Selena approached and noticed Max still by James's feet. She sat down.

James's hands trembled as he placed the documents in his hands on the table.

"A lifetof hardship, a lifetof effort, and to end up like this..." "Dad," Selena called, lowering her eyelashes.

"Take stto visit your mother's grave. It's been years since you last went to see her." James stiffened, his lips twitching. "I'll go tomorrow." But with James's current health condition, if he were to sit in a car for a few more hours, he may not be able to return.

Selena thought about how he only had a year left and now he was anxious because of the company's situation. It weighed heavily on her heart.

James fell silent for a long tbefore speaking cautiously.

"The Fair family is on the verge of bankruptcy, Selena. Please don't foolishly divorce Raymond; otherwise, you'll have nothing. Grandpa likes you, and as long as you want that position, no one will force you out. I worry about you being mistreated if you're alone." He had a premonition that he wouldn't live much longer.

Tears welled up in Selena's eyes, and she didn't particularly want to discuss this topic.

"I've had the maids disinfect the villa, and Beatrice's belongings have been donated. I'll find a way to handle the company's affairs." James's fingertips trembled.

"Are you going to approach Mr. Montague Sr? He has billions of dollars, even if he likes you, he won't give it to you. Don't be foolish, it might actually tarnish his impression of you." Finishing his words, he suddenly coughed heavily and spat out blood.

Selena was startled and quickly grabbed a tissue from the side, handing it over. "It's not Mr. Montague Sr, it's... it's Raymond. He promisedhe will find a solution." She used the tissue to wipe the bloodstain from James's mouth.

"Regardless, please don't worry about the company." "Raymond doesn't like you. How could he possibly help you? If he cared about you, he wouldn't be causing so much trouble for the Fair family..." Even intercepting the Fair family's business, leading the Fair family to end up in this state...

"Basically, he has been adding fuel to the fire all along," James finally caught his breath and leaned back on the sofa with a dull look in his eyes.

"A man like Raymond, heartless. Selena, you can rely on him, but never fall in love with him. At this moment, I finally understand everything," James said.

It is difficult for someone who holds the power to control the life and death of most people to be moved.

"Dad, lettake you back to the hospital. We can't wait for long. The situation with PW Group will be resolved soon," James said, somewhat incredulous, but he knew he had lost the right to inquire a long tago. From the moment she entered until now, Selena has remained calm.

James knew that it was his fault that they reached this point.

The girl who used to cry and call for her mother has unknowingly grown up and hasn't relied on him anymore. And only now did he realize it.

Selena asked the driver to take James back to the hospital. Given his condition, he couldn't withstand any longer.

But after only half an hour, the driver called.

"Miss Fair, representatives from PW Group have cto the hospital and caused a scene. Mr. Fair... he has N.O been pushed into the emergency room again. I don't know where the people from PW Group heard about Ms. Beatrice's affair, but they keep repeating it in front of Mr. Fair, and they even asked him to get Alice's DNA tested," the driver said. PW Group went too far! "Miss Fair, Mr. Fair has been vomiting a lot of blood."

Upon hearing this, Selena felt both anxious and upset. She immediately left to drive to the hospital but was other stopped by several cars from PW Group as soon as she left the Fair family gate. "If Miss Fair wants to see Mr. Fair, you'll have to spend a few nights with Mr. Thompson," they said.

Selena tightly gripped the steering wheel, feeling both angry and worried.

Her phone rang, it was from an unknown number. Without guessing, she knew it was Bert.

Ignoring it, she called Raymond instead.

The call went through, but he hung up.

She had no other choice now. If she didn't address the PW Group's matter, her father would be in danger and they would continue to harass them. If they waited another twenty days, the Fair family would also be under PW Group's control. Only Raymond could help her, even if... it meant sacrificing her dignity. But at least Raymond could afford this price.
