Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 361 It Seems Like First Love Works Best After All
If Selena hadn't moved back quickly, her hair would have gotten caught in the rising car window. She watched as the car drove far away, replaceing it amusing. She immediately texted Carter.
"Mr. Ashford, I met Mr. Montague. He told me not to think too highly of myself. If you want, try replaceing Olivia. She's currently in the passenger seat."
Carter, still skeptical, decided to call Olivia. Olivia answered with a smile and said she would ask around. After hanging up, she looked at Raymond.
"Mr. Ashford called me too. It seems like he truly loves that girlfriend of his. Maybe this time he's serious, Raymond. Shouldn't we ask him to come back?" Raymond remained silent, his eyes focused ahead. When his eyes didn't smile, they appeared sharp and profound. After a while, he chuckled. "A receptionist position, is it worth so many inquiries from all of you?"
Olivia let out a sigh of relief, her face instantly becoming sweeter.
"You also said it's just a receptionist position. There's no need to have an unpleasant argument with Mr. Ashford, after all, you're cousins."
Raymond resumed his carefree demeanor and lightly tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. His fingers were especially attractive.
"Then let's go back."
Olivia's eyes brightened. Thinking about Raymond's attitude towards Selena and towards herself, she felt even more reassured. She quickly sent a text to Carter.
Upon receiving the message, Carter couldn't help but send another one to Selena.
"Sorry, Selena, for getting you scolded by Jacob. First love really does have a strong influence. In less than two minutes, cousin agreed."
Selena couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated. She had been scolded for nothing. Though she didn't think it was a big deal, it was still nothing compared to her father's scolding. At most, it was only one-tenth as severe. Inside the hospital, James continued to rub his temples, while Beatrice and Alice kept comforting him.
James felt inexplicably annoyed, thinking about Selena's expression just now made him uncomfortable.
"You two should go out first. I want some quiet time alone."
Beatrice and Alice exchanged a glance. Alice knew her chance had come. She gestured for Beatrice to leave with her. The two of them went to Nick's room.
Immediately, Alice spoke up.
"Mom, this is our best chance. Dad is not on guard right now, and the two guards at the door have left. As long as I inject the poison into his body, he will certainly die! Then, the Fair family will be ours!"
Alice couldn't wait any longer. But Beatrice, at this moment, felt troubled.
"Why are you so selfish
"Didn't you see your brother lying in bed?! You don't even worry about his life or death! And Kenny is also missing. I'm so worried now, how can I harm James anymore?"
Alice has also been in a bad mood lately, and being scolded by Beatrice made her angry immediately.
"Nick went after Selena himself and got trapped. Whose fault is that? If he didn't want to sleep with Selena, would anything have happened? And you, you knew about his intentions towards Selena but didn't stop him! You even had an affair with Kenny. I bet he's long gone, leaving you to face the police!"
"Slap!"
Beatrice slapped her hard.
And the small recorder on the table recorded their argument completely.
This was Selena's preparation before leaving the hospital.
She believed that these two selfish people would definitely have a heated argument when facing Nick's issue.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and a nurse came in for a case investigation.
After completing it, she saw a pen left behind and thought it was left by the previous nurse, so she took it away.
