Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 568 You're Here at My Doorstep As Selena bent over at the entrance, intending to change her high heels, the lights in the living room suddenly dimmed, and someone swiftly pressed her against the doorway. "Another woman sent here?" The man's voice sounded by her ear, and her pupils shrank instantly.

She thought, 'How could Raymond be in her room?' Selena was about to retort, but two fingers went into her mouth, pinching her tongue.

She was still bending over to change shoes. At this moment, she was forced to straighten her back but couldn't turn around, and Raymond lifted her skirt up.

Selena's struggles were in vain. Did Raymond mistake her for a woman sent to him on a platter? Yes, with so many business partners present tonight, this kind of misunderstanding probably happened frequently in the past.

Her tongue was pinched painfully, and Selena couldn't say a word.

She cursed in the heart, 'This despicable man!' Raymond firmly held her in his arms, a smirk playing on his lips.

He thought, 'This was her own mistake for entering the wrong room. Who could she blame?' After struggling for a while, Selena's forehead was covered in sweat. Eventually, she received a hard slap on her buttocks.

Raymond sneered, "You're here at my doorstep, yet you pretend otherwise?" Selena was about to explode in anger. Her chest was heaving violently, but with her tongue pinched, she couldn't retort at all. Raymond enjoyed seeing her in such a predicament, a smile in his eyes.

He wondered, 'Was being spanked on the butt shameful?' He was extra cautious this time, even as gentle as water, fearing that she might turn the tables on him the next morning.

Raymond didn't torment her for too long, fearing she might have other things to do later, like discussing cooperation with others.

After two hours, he let her go. Before he could say anything, Raymond received a hard slap on his cheek.

Rubbing his face, he saw her trembling.

She cursed, "Beast! Bastard!" Selena angrily turned on the lights in the room; her cheeks flushed red, and her eyes were filled with anger, as if ready to ignite her whole being. Raymond touched his cheek, a taste of blood lingering in his mouth.

Her skirt was back in place by now, her eyes red.

Raymond felt somewhat guilty, touching his cheek, but he remained unyielding.

"One million dollars, is that enough?" Selena's pupils contracted, biting her lip tightly, ignoring him completely. She opened the door and left.

Raymond stood in the room, sighing as his eyelashes drooped.

After Selena left, she had nowhere to go. After all, she didn't know anyone on board, and all the rooms were fully booked before the ship set sail. Shelley didn't cthis time, and for a moment, she didn't know who to turn to.

Although Raymond mistook her for a willing participant, Selena now realized that this matter was definitely arranged by Cassius.

Selena made her way back to the fifth floor, as this was the place where late-night snacks were prepared, open until 6 in the morning. She could spend a few nights sleeping on the sofa in this corner. Damn Raymond! Feeling extremely irritated, Selena stepped outside to cool off in the breeze. It helped her calm down significantly, so she decided to head to the deck to enjoy the view.

Tomorrow, she would engage in conversations with male and female celebrities in the entertainment industry or network with influential figures in the film and television sector.

As Selena felt the wind blowing outside, her mood lifted. Just as she was about to turn back towards the sofa inside, a hand swiftly reached out from behind and pushed her forcefully. The sudden appearance of the hand caught her off guard, and she was pushed over the railing, falling into the river, her high heels left on the deck. Olivia sneered and kicked the high heels down.

There were people on every deck, many of them still awake.

Soon, shouts were heard, "Someone fell into the water! Where's the lifebuoy?" "It's a woman! Quick, the lifebuoy!" After falling into the water, Selena felt the surging water engulfing her, making it hard to breathe.

The sound of the ship's turbines echoed in her ears, and she even felt a force pulling at her legs.

She thought, 'Would she be sucked in and torn to pieces?' "Selena?!"

Caterlington, in the crowd on the first floor, immediately noticed the figure and jumped into the water while lifebuoys and lifeboats were also lowered.

Having consumed too much water, combined with the initial impact of the fall, Selena struggled to breathe properly and had now fainted. Caterlington quickly scooped her up and placed her in a lifeboat, continuously pressing on her abdomen.

Selena kept her eyes tightly shut.

He angrily shouted to the nearby crew, "Get a helicopter here quickly to take her to the hospital!"

The helicopter arrived in less than ten minutes. The river was fogged, and no one could clearly see who then woman falling into the water was, only that someone had fallen in. Olivia saw that Selena was rescued, feeling unwilling. She thought, 'It would have been so much better if that wretched woman had died.' But it didn't matter; Olivia had other means.
