Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 178 How Low Can You Set Your Bottom Line
Raymond had done everything he could.
He felt a bit resistant at being so close to Selena because nothing good ever seemed to happen when he was around her.
Sitting here alone, Selena appeared very obedient because of her illness.
People came and went around her, but no one came forward to ask if she needed help.
Raymond placed her on the bench and had already returned to his car. As he opened the door, he caught a glimpse of someone approaching her. It wasn’t a man, but a woman.
And coincidentally, it was a woman he had seen before.
“You little slut! I finally found you!”
The woman looked fierce and raised her hand…
Then she gave Selena a push.
Selena’s vision was already blurry, and she felt weak all over. Being pushed like this, her back hit the bench directly, causing her to frown in pain.
Looking up, she discovered that it was the woman who had been following Jacob, with her red hair, thick eye liner, and heavy makeup that almost concealed her original appearance.
“Where did you hide Jacob?” the woman scolded, and then, upon noticing that something seemed off with Selena, she smirked and moved forward as if to grab her hair.
Selena reacted a bit sluggishly and couldn’t dodge in time.
The hand was stopped in midair by someone, and the woman looked up to see Raymond. There was a hint of admiration in her eyes, followed immediately by disdain.
“Oh! The sugar daddy has arrived! Just by looking at you, one can tell what kind of affair you two have. Disgusting!” she sneered.
Raymond’s expression turned cold, and he squinted his narrow eyes at her.
The woman’s heart trembled. She had intended to continue hurling insults, but at this moment, she felt something constricting her throat and noticed the luxury car parked in the distance. She
Sat,

knew better than to provoke this man.
“I have something to deal with this woman. She hid my man!”
Selena heard this in a dazed state, and she propped herself up using the bench to help her stand.
“My man? Jacob is still married in his hometown and doesn’t have a job here. What is it that you see in him?”
Selena wasn’t belittling her own cousin, after all, she was stating the truth.
Wasn’t Jacob following this woman just for a meal?
She had never felt so disdainful of a man before, leaving behind his wife and parents in their hometown to be a mistress for a woman thug.
This contradicted the morals that Selena adhered to, and she almost didn’t bother disguising her
sarcasm.
The woman wasn’t surprised to hear that Jacob had a wife at home, as she hadn’t divorced her own husband either.
“So what? We are truly in love with each other. I don’t care about his wife, and besides, I haven’t divorced my own husband. Let no one judge anyone.”
Selena thought she was hallucinating.
It just dawned on her how low Jacob had set his bottom line for the sake of a meal.
“Get lost.”
Her face turned cold, and the woman looked at Raymond beside her before cursing and leaving.
What left Selena speechless was the fact that this person was entering the same residential area as her.
Her body stiff, she could feel her headache intensifying.
No wonder she had encountered them here; turns out, they were neighbors in the same residential area!
The houses here weren’t cheap, and Jacob had found himself a wealthy woman, one who was married too.

Selena felt nauseous, and with her fever, the scene in front of her seemed even more dizzying.
Just as she was about to collapse, Raymond’s hand came to support her, and as a gentleman, he
only held onto her arm and took a step back to avoid excessive contact between them.
This reminded Selena of their previous encounters and made her feel somewhat awkward.
She had just wanted to say that she could manage on her own when she heard him ask, “Which floor?”
Selena’s entire body was floating right now. Not to mention walking, even standing was somewhat difficult.
Now wasn’t the time to be stubborn.
