Chapter 652 Penny, I Can't Believe You TrickedRaymond froze, his eyes locked on Selena's neck. He wondered if he should take advantage of her weakness and strangle her. However, her quivering eyelashes betrayed her fear.
"Forget it," he thought, abandoning the idea.
He went to his room and quickly fell asleep.
The night passed without incident.
When Raymond woke up, Selena was still asleep.
He washed up, put on a new suit, and left the hotel without waking her.
An hour later, Selena slowly woke up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMemories of last night flooded back, but she couldn't recall much. She only remembered Raymond showing up in the end.
What stuck with her more was the image of seven or eight men surrounding her, their disgusting gazes making her stomach churn. She ran to the bathroom and vomited, goosebumps rising on her skin.
Selena threw up twice.
She hadn't eaten, so it was mostly water.
She couldn't stay in that room any longer and hurried back to Ashbourne Manor.
Selena had someone buy her a new phone. After a warm breakfast, she felt better.
She took a shower and slept until the afternoon. When she woke up, she took a painkiller, and her period pain eased.
In the evening, she went to the company. Online discussions about Andrew were still buzzing, with people wondering when he'd start filming again.
Andrew was the first director Selena recruited, and Austin was the first star she signed. Although S.M. Corporation was still making small profits, it was on a smoother path.
Andrew was a good director; all he needed now was a good script.
"Mr. Newman, I'll have someone check the film school for screenwriters looking for investment. Don't worry, even though you only make movies for my company, the script has to meet your standards," Selena said.
Andrew sighed in relief. His face was still swollen, but since it was just external injuries, he was discharged today and couldn't wait to report to Selena.
"Ms. Fair, I'll follow your lead," Andrew said.
The office fell silent as Ann pushed the door open and walked in.
"Ms. Fair, there's a young girl outside who wants to meet you." When the person cin, Selena looked at her.
It was Mia, just as she had guessed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe night Raymond was injured, she didn't see any other Montague family members at the hospital, but Mia was there.
Mia pushed the door open and saw Selena sitting in the office, feeling a bit uneasy.
She had restrained herself for an extended period, initially intending to wait until Raymond regained consciousness before inquiring, but Raymond had unexpectedly suffered memory loss.
"Penny," she called out, then felt it was inappropriate and followed with, "Ms. Fair." Selena didn't know what to say at this moment.
Mia looked around, finally accepting the reality.
Penny was Selena, Raymond's ex-wife, the person she had om complained about to her face. Mia felt a mix of shand anger as if she had been deceived.
"Why didn't you tell me? I trusted you so much and considered you my friend!" Selena knew it would cto this. "Mia, I..."
Mia had been pampered since childhood. Thinking about how she had always defended Selena, only to realize she didn't even know Selena's true identity and had complained about Raymond's ex-wife in front of her multiple times, she felt nothing but shame. "I hate you, Penny! You tricked me!"
Mia burst into tears, feeling so ashamed she wished the could find ahole to crawl into!
