Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 672 Her Cfaution Showed Just How Pressured She Was

Selena wanted to ask if Bryan had threatened Carol, but Carol's nervous glances made it clear she was scared of being seen talking.

Selena handed Carol a note. "Here's my company address. Message me."

Carol memorized it and gave the note back. "Got it."

Her caution showed how much pressure she was under.

Back at her company, Selena worked on documents while waiting.

Around 5 PM, a local courier arrived with a few bills and three handwritten scripts.

The first script was a gripping crime drama with constant twists, revealing the killer only at the end. The murder methods were chilling.

Selena was amazed that a nineteen-year-old could write this. She quickly checked the other two scripts.

The second script focused on the struggles of the lower class, and the third was another crime drama. Carol had a knack for exploring human psychology through these stories. Excited, Selena called Carol. "I want all three scripts. Name your price."

But a middle-aged man answered. "Who is this?"

Selena guessed it was Carol's father. "I'm a friend of Carol's. Where is she?"

Rodolfo, Carol's father, looked embarrassed. He and Lori had heard rumors that Carol had secretly bought contraceptives multiple times. They confronted her, but she only knelt and cried. Rodolfo wouldn't let anyone know about this. "Carol's helping her mom with dinner. What scripts? Have they been shown to Mr. Ward?"

"I've contacted Mr. Ward," Selena said.

Rodolfo sighed in relief and looked at Carol, still kneeling. "Alright, we'll talk later."

He hung up and threw a cup of water at Carol. "Admit it! The woman who sold the medicine described you perfectly. Who have you been with? Aren't you ashamed?" Carol flinched, swaying.

Rodolfo, pained, couldn't believe Carol's disobedience. "Were you deceived by a man?" he asked gently.

Carol shook her head, biting her lip.

Rodolfo slapped her. "So it was voluntary! How could I have such a shameless daughter?"

Carol's head turned from the slap. Rodolfo called Bryan.

Humbly, Rodolfo asked, "Mr. Ward, does Carol have a boyfriend at school? Is she secretly dating?"

Carol felt her heart break seeing her father trust her abuser.

Bryan, pretending to be a strict teacher, said, "Carol is diligent. Investors are interested in her scripts, but they need revisions. Scripts can be profitable. I don't interfere in personal matters." Rodolfo, thinking of the recent call, said, "A woman called, saying Carol's scripts are good and she can name her price. Is that the investor?"

Carol, cowering, suddenly looked up. Bryan's face darkened.

"Oh? Someone called Carol?" Bryan asked.

Rodolfo was about to explain, but Carol grabbed his leg. "Dad, don't mention this..."

Rodolfo, furious, thought if Carol didn't trust her teacher, who could she trust? This was Bryan, the writer of their favorite TV shows!
