Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 585 Raymond Arrived

Carter quickly sent the address, not daring to delay for a moment.

At this moment, Selena had already arrived at the private room. She knocked on the door, and upon opening it, she saw a group of middle-aged men inside, each accompanied by a woman drinking with them. Men in middle age, once addicted to alcohol and lust, would become very sleazy, giving a bad impression.

Selena frowned, then spotted Jimmy Cox sitting in the middle, which was the one she was looking for tonight.

Jimmy had gained some fame from his last TV series online, and now, quite a few people were interested in investing in him. Originally, he was planning to reject Selena, but upon seeing the beautiful woman coming in, his eyes lit up, making the woman in his arms seem less attractive.

"Mr. Cox." Selena greeted politely, and Jimmy immediately stood up.

Jimmy said, "This must be Penny. Please have a seat. When I heard your voice on the phone, I knew you must be a beautiful lady."

The attention of the others also turned towards them.

Every industry had its own groups, and the people in the private room were friends of Jimmy, mostly directors.

Selena caught a whiff of cheap alcohol and perfume in the air, feeling a bit uncomfortable in her stomach.

But then she thought back to her childhood, scenes she had seen when accompanying James to social events, similar to what she was experiencing now.

Selena was extremely resilient. She knew that if she were weak, she couldn't count on others to show her respect.

Jimmy nudged the woman beside him and eagerly beckoned Selena over.

Selena maneuvered past the men's feet and sat down. Her face remained neutral as she smiled at Jimmy. "Mr. Cox, you already know why I'm here. I want to invest in your next movie," she said.

"Let's have a drink first and then talk business slowly, shall we?" Jimmy asked.

Another director chimed in, "Yes, without a drink, this deal might not go through."

Selena had taken a few hangover pills before coming, so she picked up a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Cox, here's to you."

Jimmy's expression immediately improved as he clinked glasses with her. However, as he set down the glass, his thick palm landed directly on Selena's thigh, rubbing back and forth. "I never expected you to be so young," he said. Selena's eyelashes fluttered, still maintaining a polite smile.

Jimmy, seeing her silence, thought she had agreed to his insinuation. The others in the private room began to get excited as well.

Jimmy pointed to his thigh and said, "Penny, if that's the case, we won't discuss anything else. Tonight, I won't make love to you either. Just sit on our laps and let each of us kiss you for ten minutes. You'll be the sole investor in our next film." The other directors in the room, except for Jimmy, only made web series.

Ordinary people might think these unnoticed web series couldn't make money, but they were actually the quickest way to profit, usually without losses.

When Selena heard this request, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, and she stood up. "Mr. Cox, I need to use the restroom first."

Jimmy grabbed her, no longer concealing his intentions. "You smell so good all over, so there's no need to prepare anything. We're all eager."

Selena's brow furrowed. She had always known that the film industry was chaotic, much like the financial industry. In these two most chaotic industries, money and sex trades were rampant, playing in the most disorderly manner. Ordinary people couldn't imagine how dirty it could get.

Taking a deep breath, Selena shook off Jimmy's hand.

But because of the success of his last show, Jimmy was feeling confident. After Selena's rejection, he immediately pulled her down and pinned her on the couch.

Seeing Jimmy's actions, the others grew uneasy.

After all, with the internet being so prevalent now, it would be difficult for everyone to explain if something were to happen.

Moreover, since Selena was there to invest, it indicated that her family had some money.

Although they would also like to taste the flavor of a beautiful woman, it wouldn't be worth jeopardizing their future for Selena.

"Mr. Cox, let it go. Don't bother with her," someone said.

Selena, being choked, heard Jimmy shout, "Get out, all of you. I'll rape her first, and later she can come and have sex with you. I've seen many women like her, just pretending to be principled."

The others dared not intervene. After all, Jimmy had gained some fame, and they couldn't afford to offend him.

They quickly left the room.

As Jimmy was about to take off his pants, Selena, instead of panicking, calmly said, "Mr. Cox, if you strangle me or rape me, that's against the law."

"You bitch, how dare you speak!" Jimmy said.

Selena turned off the recording on her phone, planning to use pepper spray to deal with Jimmy. Then, she would use the recording to threaten him directly.

She had come alone, so she had a well-thought-out plan.

But before she could act, the door of the private room swung open, and before Selena could see who it was, someone grabbed Jimmy, and two beer bottles were smashed on his head. Surprised, Selena sat up and saw Raymond grab a chair from the side and smash it on Jimmy's back.

Jimmy's head was covered in blood, and he lay motionless on the ground.

Raymond's aura was terrifying, and he was about to pick up a heavier vase nearby to strike again.

If that vase hit Jimmy, he would be done for.
