Reclaiming Her Heart

Selena fumbled with her phone as she got into the car. "Raymond, how do I open our chat?" she asked.

Raymond took her phone and opened the chat for her.

"And how do I send a voice message?" she asked again.

He guided her finger to the screen. "Just press here and hold to send a voice message."

Selena nodded. "Got it. You can drive now."

Raymond fastened her seatbelt and quietly started driving.

As they reached the top floor, Selena could hear a woman's sharp voice from a distance.

"Aren't you her colleagues? How can you not know about her? Are you all her lovers? I knew she couldn't earn that much money honestly. She must be sleeping around. She even came to me covered in marks that day. What a disgrace! How did I end up with such a disgraceful daughter?"

"Flirting with men everywhere, it's disgusting. You better give me an explanation now, or I'll call the media and let everyone see what kind of company you run!"

It was the first time Selena had heard someone describe their daughter like that.noveldrama

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, Ronald's gaze met hers. "Ms. Fair," he greeted.

Others on the top floor also greeted her, "Ms. Fair."

Then their eyes fell on Raymond, looking surprised.

Raymond and Layla's situation wasn't a secret. Anyone who cared to find out would know. Now, was Raymond with Selena again?

Some frowned, clearly displeased, especially Austin, who clenched his fists, wishing he could take Raymond's place.

Connie, hearing everyone call Selena, turned her head haughtily.

"Are you the boss here? How do you manage your employees? Ann is out there prostituting herself, and you don't know? Maybe she picked up these bad habits from your company. If you don't give me an explanation, I'll report your company and have the police investigate!" she shouted.

Connie was furious. She had tried to contact Ann the day before, hoping Ann would get back with Brody.

But Ann, who was usually obedient, had started avoiding her. This was unlike her. Connie knew Ann well. Having never felt much family affection, Ann would always feel her life had value with just a few words from Connie.

Connie had always understood this, which was why she dared to take Ann's money while treating her so poorly.

Now, Connie was desperate to get the $500,000 Brody had promised. She needed to ruin Ann's job to make it happen.

Ann's job and income made her harder to control.

That was Connie's purpose in coming to S.M Corporation today: to get Ann fired.

She thought Selena would be furious, as an entertainment company couldn't afford such scandals.

But Selena said, "Sure, call the police. If you don't, I will. Spreading rumors about my employee and causing trouble at my company-I want to see what the police have to say."

Connie froze, thinking she had misheard. "What did you say?"

But the next second, Selena told Raymond, "Call the police and get a lawyer. I'm suing her for defamation."

Raymond immediately took out his phone and dialed the police without hesitation.

Connie panicked for a moment but then calmed down, believing she was telling the truth.

She straightened her neck. "Fine, call the police. I know exactly when Ann was prostituting. I have records of her checking into hotels with men. I'm not making this up. She wouldn't dare stand up to me. Who do you think you are?"

Connie was furious. Ann had always pampered her, giving her money without her having to work. She had never been treated like this.

"I'm Ann's mother. I know her character. She can't resist men. She even tried to seduce her stepfather when she was young, which is why I kicked her out. She's been sending

me money for years, begging for my forgiveness. So, it's no surprise she sleeps around. But you don't know her at all," Connie said.

Selena frowned, hearing Connie speak so confidently.

"Raymond, find Ann and bring her here within half an hour," Selena said.

"Got it."

Raymond's eyes flashed as he sent a message.

Half an hour later, Ann arrived.

She hurried in, her expression changing when she saw Connie.

"Mom, what are you doing at my company?"

As soon as she spoke, Connie slapped her.

"How dare you!"

Seeing the scarf around Ann's neck, Connie's eyes filled with disdain and disgust.

She knew Ann hadn't come to work today because she was with a man. She couldn't live without a man, that slut!
