Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1245 Stop Testing My Patience Just five minutes ago, Selena had left this place. She couldn't stay in one spot for too long; that guy seemed to know the area well and would soon track her down through the surveillance cameras.

She had moved to a new hiding spot, now behind the curtains at the end of the hallway.

Her heart was pounding wildly, with only one thought in her mind: just make it through the next twenty minutes.

If she died, she wouldn't be Raymond's weakness anymore, wouldn't drag him down.

He would still be the high and mighty CEO of the Montague Group, still the one favored by the heavens.

She took a few steps forward and bumped into a woman.

The woman was Lucille, who had recently collaborated with S.M. Corporation.

Selena had previously invested in Lucille's script, and Lucille was still her partner.

It wasn't until Lucille spoke that Selena recognized her voice.

Someone nearby was calling out, "Ms. Jade, so it's settled then." "Alright, don't worry. The little addition you made to the script is good, I'll include it." Selena grabbed Lucille's arm.

Lucille was a bit surprised, then heard her say, "Getout of here." A look of shock flashed in Lucille's eyes. She carefully examined Selena's outfit, then silently glanced around, choosing a blind spot in the surveillance cameras, and helped Selena into her car.

Lucille had been in the entertainment industry for many years and was extremely smart. Seeing Selena's attire, she knew she was in trouble.

And those recent rumors in the industry, she had heard them too. Raymond looking for Selena was no secret. Once they were in the car and the doors were closed, she asked, "Selena, what's going on?" Selena estimated that fifteen minutes had passed. She was still tense but slightly relaxed, though she was still afraid of being caught.

"Raymond has been turning Silver Bay City upside down looking for you. He's at Sky Gallery tonight. I'll call him right now." "No..." Selena felt a sharp pain in her chest as she said this.

Only five minutes left. The drug was starting to take effect. She felt pain all over, like thousands of needles piercing her body.

Her face was pale, and she clutched the window tightly.

"Selena?" Lucille called out again, hearing her hoarse voice.

"Don't, don't tell Raymond. Takesomewhere quiet. I don't have much tleft, I..." She was in so much pain she couldn't finish her sentence, sweat pouring down her face.

The veins on the back of her hand were bulging, and her mouth was filled with the taste of blood.

Lucille was about to ask more when someone knocked on her car window.

Several unfamiliar men were standing outside. She almost instinctively stepped on the gas.

But the window was smashed with a punch, and a masked man pried Selena's mouth open, trying to force something into it.

Selena clenched her teeth, refusing to let anything in.

In the end, the man, in a fit of impatience, dislocated her jaw and forced the drug down her throat.

Lucille watched the whole thing in horror through the rearview mirror, too scared to move because a gun was pressed against the back of her head.

The drug quickly dissolved in Selena's mouth, and she tasted the bitterness on her tongue, her eyes reddening with pain.

The man looked at her coldly and then reset her jaw.

She instinctively tried to vomit, but the man tilted her head back.

"Don't test my patience." He usually spoke gently and patiently, but his actions this twere ruthless, showing he was truly angry.

His whole demeanor was cold.

"Selena, you'll pay for what you did today." Selena stared at him with empty eyes.

In truth, she couldn't see anything; her vision was shrouded in darkness.

The man dragged her out of the car, and someone behind him reminded him.

"Sir, Raymond's people are checking the surveillance everywhere."

The man's expression turned even colder. He hadn't expected that even Le like with Selena disguised like this, Raymond would still sense something was wrong. He must really love her! He pressed his lips together and quickly got into another car.

The gun pressed against Lucille's head was withdrawn, and someone coldly warned her.

"If you tell anyone about tonight, your brilliant little brother will never study neverstudy again and will beca bedridden vegetable." Lucille gripped the steering wheel tightly. She believed these people could do it.

The leader had just dislocated Selena's jaw, and Selena, tough as she was, hadn't made a sound.

Lucille's fingers trembled. Once they were all gone, she realized her palms were sweaty.

If it weren't for the broken car window reminding her of what had just happened, she would have thought it was all a hallucination. Pale-faced, she drove home, feeling cold all over.

She had initially wanted to go back to Sky Gallery and tell Raymond about this, but the threats still echoed in her ears. She didn't dare.

She was afraid Vance would really beca vegetable.

She couldn't take that risk and had to pretend she hadn't seen anything.
