Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 573 The Unyielding Determination in His Heart When Selena left the room and arrived in the corridor, the servant pulled her aside and revealed the truth.

"Yesterday, the doctor cto check. The best-case scenais another month, Ms. Fair. James has been mentioning you a lot lately. He has lost most of what he should have lost, and now he looks so miserable. I don't think he wants you to see him like this. It might be better if you don't cnext time." The servant was considering James' feelings, and Selena understood. As the servant escorted her to the door, they did not forget to remind her.

"We were planning to find a burial plot for James, but he said he wanted the one you chose. You can start buying it now. I'm afraid it might be too late for him," the servant said.

Selena wanted to say something but she couldn't. She managed a hard nod, and as she departed, Selena felt nothing but a heavy head and feather-light feet.

Unfortunately, her car had a flat tire at that moment, as if it had run over a nail on the way, embedding the nail completely.

"Ms. Fair, why don't you drive the car from the Fair family's side?" The Fair family's car was a Lamborghini worth over three million dollars, previously owned by Alice.

But now, Selena had taken back all of them.

She drove one out, leaving her own inexpensive car behind.

Later, Selena made a call to the cemetery and chose a decent location.

On the other hand, after the cruise banquet, Madison's career took a nosedive. Initially, Madison was dumped by Joseph, followed by her contract termination. The clothing company, leveraging the fact that Madison was no longer Joseph's girlfriend, conveniently dumped all responsibilities onto her.

Madison lost a million followers, and the number was still dropping.

Olivia sat in front of her, a sly smile playing on her lips.

"Madison, you need to be careful with that woman. She will continue to cafter you," Olivia said.

Madison was becoming paranoid and was itching to confront Selena directly.

"She dares! I'll make her pay!" Madison said.

"How will you make her pay? You've seen it yourself. She has Raymond backing her up. Nobody can touch her, not even me." Madison fell silent instantly, and Olivia's eyes flashed with a cold sneer. It seemed she needed to provoke Madison further.

Over the next month, Madison experienced several more drops in followers, losing over three million in total. Then, a video from her school days, where she bullied others, surfaced.

Before her debut, Madison was a troublemaker in school, but she had packaged herself as a cute persona in the industry. Now, with the video out, Madison faced severe backlash. She realized she was in deep trouble and immediately called Olivia.

"Olivia, could you lenda hand for the sake of our friendship? I'm genuinely in deep trouble this time." Madison had only mentioned the school violence incident to Olivia once before. In reality, it was Olivia who leaked the video to push Madison into a corner.

A person pushed to the brink was capable of anything.

"Madison, I want to help, but it's clear that Selena is targeting you. I'm truly powerless in this situation." A strong sense of hatred flashed in Madison's eyes.

Before encountering Selena, Madison had just won a newcomer award and was a rising star. In such a short time, her life had taken a drastic turn for the worse. "That despicable woman, it's all her fault! She's the one who ruined me!" Madison said angrily.

Olivia sighed.

"Even the Stone family is facing troubles lately. I can't compete with her. I'm helpless, too." "I wish she'd drop dead!" Madison screamed, and Olivia seized the opportunity to provide Selena's license plate number, suggesting Madison confront her to resolve the issue. Madison hung up the phone immediately.

Meanwhile, Selena had been tirelessly working every day to plan the Fair Group's entry into the entertainment industry.

Fortunately, the executives she chose were competent. Initially given a five million investment each, they had all turned profits, and Austin had called, indicating a potential contract soon. Bringing in a top-tier star like Austin amazed the executives, especially considering the company's current state.

Austin's arrival injected new energy into everyone, solidifying their determination to work with Selena.

Selena worked until six in the evening when James called.

"Selena, where are you?" James asked on the phone.

"At the office. Are you feeling better, Dad?" "I'm feeling much better," James answered.

James sounded more spirited, but Selena's heart sank suddenly.

Suddenly it dawned on her, James was indeed experiencing his final flicker of life.

At the Fair family's villa, dinner was ready. James, propped up by his cane, gingerly descended the stairs, with a servant attempting to dissuade him.

"Mr. Fair, we can take it over for you."

James shook his head. "I won't rest easy unless I deliver this meab m myself. f lam to go, I want to leave without any regrets." People becdoggedly obsessive when they're at their end.

Sshould have let go today, but they hang on because that most crucial person hasn't shown up.

The moment someone informs them that the person has arrived, hearing the voice of the one they yearn to see is enough to fulfill their clinging desire, and they depart from this world. That's exactly James's situation now. His deep-seated fixation hasn't faded. The servant hastily assisted James into the car.

It was the one Selena had left behind. The driver wanted to switch cars, but James waved him off.

"Let's go with this one," said James.

Once inside, James curiously started looking through the car's contents books on painting, finance, and E.I various other items. Each the glanced at a book cover, he smiled, then coughed.

The servant sat with him in the back, watching as the traffic light changed and the car followed the rules, moving forward.

But at that moment, a speeding sports car caround the corner and crashed into them.

"Boom!" The impact was especially loud due to the car's high speed.

James' car was flipped over, even launching more than 600 feet due to the collision.
