Reclaiming Her Heart

Wind asked, "Ms. Smith, you heading to the party tomorrow?"

Tomorrow was Paul's birthday, the heir to the Adams family. Every year, they threw a massive bash. Tessa had already gotten his invite, so she was definitely going.

She slowly sat up, grabbed the invitation from the table, and gave it a quick glance, a slight smirk forming on her lips.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Tessa said, "Is Raymond bringing that bitch? Tomorrow, get Delia and Kyle to come. Once they see all the luxury, they'll probably want to stick around Selena even more. Have them mess up the party, and then everyone will know they're Selena's parents. She'll be so embarrassed."

Tessa chuckled softly and tapped Wind's forehead with her fingertip. "Get me a dress, the most stunning one."

Wind immediately knelt down slightly and gently massaged her legs. "It's already ready. Ms. Smith, you'll definitely be the star of the show."

Tessa chuckled again and sighed, "Oh, and tell Richard to pick me up tomorrow night. I want to go with him."

Richard had arrived in Silver Bay City before her. With his playboy charm, he was already a hit in the Silver Bay City scene and had made a ton of friends, becoming quite the celebrity.

With Richard by her side, they'd definitely be the center of attention.

Wind nodded, "Got it, I'll let Mr. Richard Smith know right away."

Tessa yawned, rubbed her eyes, and spoke in a playful tone, "Wind, tell Lawrence to come to Silver Bay City soon. I've been so upset lately I almost fainted. If he knew, he'd be really worried. I need him to know how tough it's been for me here." Wind said, "Ms. Smith, if Mr. Lawrence Smith finds out, Silver Bay City will be in chaos."

"You're right. If he steps in, it'll cause a huge stir." She pouted and lay back on the sofa. "Forget it, let's just focus on tomorrow night's party for now."

When Selena got back to Ashbourne Manor that night, it was already midnight.

After everything that happened during the day, Selena was in a bad mood all afternoon.

She had planned to stay at the office and work late, but Carter suddenly reminded her about Paul's birthday party.

Selena suddenly remembered that Raymond had mentioned it a few days ago, but she was so busy she forgot after agreeing.

Now she was sitting in the living room, with no sign of Raymond. He hadn't sent any messages for days. They were in the middle of a mysterious cold shoulder.

Selena felt a bit down. She took out her phone and saw she had already sent him ten messages.

She asked if he had breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and what he was up to, but he didn't reply to any of them.

Selena felt a sense of helplessness. Her relationship with Raymond had started off rocky, and they had only confirmed their feelings for each other about half a month ago, but they were already giving each other the cold shoulder. She glanced at the time on her phone and called him.

The phone rang for a long time before he answered, "What is it?" His tone was flat, like he was talking to a stranger.

Selena's heart tightened. She took a deep breath and tried to keep her tone calm. "Are we going to Paul's birthday party together?"

Raymond was silent for a few minutes before speaking softly, "I remember mentioning this a few days ago."

Selena's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly changed her words, "I mean, when should we meet? Should I go to Manston Manor, or will you come to Ashbourne Manor?" Raymond said, "Selena, I don't need you to take time out of your busy schedule to brush me off."

"No, I..." Before Selena could explain, he hung up.

She leaned back on the couch, suddenly remembering that he had mentioned meeting at Manston Manor at six o'clock a few days ago.

She had completely forgotten about it because her mind was too cluttered.

She had wanted to share what happened at the company today, about Delia and Kyle, but Raymond didn't give her the chance.
