Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 670 Too Perfect, It Seems Fake

Carol looked super nervous, especially seeing Selena seriously reading the script. Guilt washed over her.

A few minutes later, Selena put the script down.

"Carol, I heard you're the top student in this major?" Selena asked.

Carol nodded, her eyes welling up, hands twisting together, lips trembling.

Selena sighed. "This doesn't seem like something a top student would write. I checked your grades. You're a junior and have been top since you started. Every teacher praises your creativity, but this script didn't impress me." Carol lowered her head, voice hoarse. "Ms. Cooper, this is the best I could do, I..."

Before she could finish, Bryan's voice came from behind. "Carol, Ms. Cooper, what a coincidence?"

Selena looked up and saw Bryan approaching with a group of students. Some didn't know Selena, so they stayed quiet.

Selena stood up and smiled at Bryan. "Mr. Ward, I'm here at Silver Bay Film Academy to get a feel for the place. These are acting students, right? They look impressive."

These students were indeed from the acting department and held Bryan in high regard.

Bryan's scripts were highly sought after, and he had a wide network.

Several current stars had shot to fame through his scripts.

If Bryan liked any acting student and cast them as the lead in his next script, that student would likely become a top star, showing Bryan's influence.

He also had a group of disciples writing scripts, backed by countless resources.

Bryan smiled at Carol and patted her shoulder. "Have you given Carol's script to Ms. Cooper? If you're satisfied, you should have a good talk."

The surrounding students instantly understood Bryan was trying to secure investment for his student. 'Bryan is as considerate as ever,' they thought.

"I've read it. There are a few points I need to discuss with Carol, and it's perfect that I ran into you," Selena said.

"Ms. Cooper, if you don't mind, would you like to come to my office?" Bryan asked.

"Sure." Selena looked at Carol. Since Bryan arrived, Carol had become even more silent, the last trace of color draining from her face.

She grabbed Carol's hand, but Carol, startled, quickly pulled away.

The atmosphere got awkward for a moment, and Bryan quickly said, "Carol is introverted and doesn't talk much. She spends every day writing scripts and isn't good at handling relationships. Ms. Cooper, please don't take it to heart." Selena didn't say anything. She'd already looked into Bryan and found he was highly regarded by the students. No one had a bad word to say about him.

But sometimes, when someone seems too perfect, it feels fake.

"Mr. Ward, shall we go to your office now?" Selena asked.

Bryan briefly spoke to the other students and then led Selena and Carol to his office.

The students were jealous, seeing how much Bryan valued Carol. If she secured the investment, her scripts could bring in millions.

In Bryan's office, he placed a chair for Selena and motioned for Carol to sit on the small sofa.

Just a week ago, Bryan had raped Carol on that sofa.

Almost every corner of this office had traces of his assaults on her.

But she didn't dare speak out, only looking down at her toes, sitting uneasily.

Bryan knew what she was thinking and sneered inwardly. Bringing her here would only increase her psychological pressure.

He poured a glass of water for Selena.

"Ms. Cooper, are you not satisfied with Carol's script? She hasn't been in the right state recently."

Selena's gaze fell on Carol. She sensed Carol had other troubles.

They discussed the script for a while, and when Selena was about to leave, Bryan asked Carol to stay. "Look at your senior colleagues' scripts on my desk, replace some inspiration, and then revise yours for Ms. Cooper." Carol nodded timidly.

As soon as Selena left, Bryan returned, closed the door, grabbed Carol, and forcibly pressed her onto the chair Selena had just sat on.

"Carol, if I hadn't run into you today, were you planning to tell Penny something?" Bryan asked.

Carol trembled, unable to hold back her urge to vomit.

Bryan finished in two minutes, then slapped Carol a few times in satisfaction.

He controlled his strength, not leaving any marks on her face.

Every time they had sex, Carol would vomit.

The more Carol suffered, the happier Bryan was. It represented his absolute dominance, making her too afraid to resist.

Bryan said, "You vomit every time. Haven't you gotten used to it? Your dad called me again. He has high expectations for you, Carol. You can't disappoint your parents. Otherwise, how will your dad's colleagues see him? Your parents have high hopes for you."

This was the root of Carol's pain.
