Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 700 The Handsome Man Wearing a Mask

Emily was hiding nearby, too scared to come out.

Someone tapped her shoulder, and she jumped, pale and screaming.

Everyone turned to look at her.

Embarrassed, she saw it was Jessica.

Next to Jessica was a young, decent-looking guy.

"Jessica, you scared me!" Emily said.

"What are you doing hiding here?" Jessica asked, glancing at Penny and then at the guy beside her, Brody.

Seeing Brody wasn't paying attention to Selena, Jessica relaxed.

Meanwhile, Sandra kept mocking Selena. "Have we met before?"

Selena felt Sandra looked familiar but couldn't place her.

Then Sandra said, "A few years ago, at a Silver Bay University party, the Adams family was there. A student rushed out from backstage. That was you, right?" Selena felt a pang in her chest.

Back then, Silver Bay University had several investors, including Kross. Because of her good grades and looks, Selena was chosen to present flowers. Kross tricked her into going backstage, where he tried to assault her. She escaped, looking disheveled, and everyone thought she had just tripped. But the investors probably knew what had happened.

Sandra sneered, "I remember now, you were the student who couldn't wait to have a tryst backstage!"

She smirked. "No wonder you look familiar. Still relying on seducing men, huh? Did the guy you slept with not pay you much, or did his wife catch you?"

The incident at Silver Bay University was a sore spot for Selena, and Sandra kept poking at it.

Selena stayed silent, which only made Sandra more excited. "What, cat got your tongue? You have no right to offend the Adams family."

Selena turned to look at the painting on the wall, ignoring her.

Sandra, feeling like a clown, grabbed a drink and splashed it all over Selena.

A large pillar blocked the view, so no one noticed.

Sandra was about to mock Selena more when a glass of red wine splashed back at her.

Selena had thought about enduring it, not wanting to offend the Adams family. But Sandra wasn't letting up.

Since Raymond said he'd handle her troubles, why not push back?

"Mrs. Adams, if you like splashing drinks so much, try it yourself. And about Emily's photo, maybe I'll share it around if I'm in a bad mood. Let's see if the Adams family feels ashamed then." Sandra's face was covered in red wine, dripping down her cheeks.

The commotion drew attention. People started looking over as the two splashed drinks at each other.

Sandra, humiliated, glared at Selena. "I won't let you off today. Bodyguards! Throw her out!"

The Adams family had a high reputation in Silver Bay City, and the bodyguards quickly surrounded them.

Just as they were about to act, a cold male voice rang out.

"I wasn't gone long, and you're causing trouble again?"

The crowd parted, and Raymond walked over slowly.

He approached Selena, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped her face.

Then he looked at Sandra and smiled, "Mrs. Adams, what did Penny do to offend you?"

Sandra stepped back. Paul hadn't told her Raymond really cared about Selena; otherwise, he wouldn't have defended her publicly.

She tried to regain her composure. "Raymond, who is she to you?"

Raymond's smile faded. "Mrs. Adams, my personal affairs aren't your concern."

The crowd, initially curious, saw Raymond's attitude and backed off.

Selena calmly wiped the wine off her neck with a handkerchief, but one wasn't enough; Sandra had splashed a whole glass.

As she turned, she saw another handkerchief offered to her. Following the hand, she saw a man wearing a mask.

No one knew the man's identity, but anyone at this event likely had an invitation.
