Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 580 She Was Really Left Alone Selena turned directly and entered Ashbourne Manor.

Catherine was on the verge of collapsing, and had it not been for the aid of a nearby servant, she would have surely swooned right here and now.

After Catherine was helped into the car, she couldn't help but call Raymond.

But Raymond was at the hotel taking a shower at the moment and did not answer.

Catherine went crazy in the car, cursing Barbara on one side and cursing Selena on the other.

Inside Ashbourne Manor, Selena sat calmly at the dining table.

Fiona brought her a cup of coffee.

"Ms. Fair, don't be sad. Even if you divorce Mr. Montague in the future, I will still be here to take care of you." Selena's eyelashes trembled. She lowered her head, held the teacup, and took a sip.

Fiona sighed.

"Catherine dislikes you so much. Even if Mr. Montague is outstanding, you will not be happy marrying into this family. If you were my granddaughter, I wouldn't want you to jump into this pit. Even with the divorce, it's not all bad. This mansion was a gift from Cassius before you were married. He made it clear from the start - it's your asset, and nobody can lay their hands on it." Selena was very grateful to Cassius. Even though the rest of the Montague family didn't like her, Cassius was genuinely supportive of her.

"Fiona, thank you," Selena said.

Fiona sighed and sat down beside her.

"And when you divorce Mr. Montague, it will be him who should move out. You won't have to keep Max locked in that back room anymore. Every tI walk it, I'm trembling with fear, always afraid that Mr. Montague will cback. We can live a good life together in the future." Fiona still didn't know about James's death, and Selena hadn't told anyone about it. Even the funeral was held very quietly.

Although there were sreports about the car accident in the news, the license plate and the names of the deceased were all censored.

Selena still had to attend her father's funeral tomorrow. Today, she just didn't have the energy to talk to anyone too much.

After dinner, she lay down on the bed.

Shelley sent her a text message.

Shelley: [Are you okay?] Shelley had known Selena for a long tand knew that when she was upset, she preferred to be alone.

As Selena's friend, Shelley was always ready to help when she called for assistance.

Selena felt her eyes sore, but she couldn't sleep. She hasn't had a good night's sleep in many days.

Shelley sent another message.

Shelley: [Didn't Austin sign with your company? His endorsement for the Harper family was supposed to expire, but after I begged my dad, we extended it for another year. I did it for your sake, so don't be too touched.] Shelley was deliberately changing the subject.

She didn't want Selena to continue dwelling on the grief of losing her father.

As Selena's friend, She did not go through the years of starting from scratch with James, but those years were often the most memorable.

James used to do very well in business, always taking the young Selena with him everywhere.

Later, although James' business was barely satisfactory, at least he left a will, giving the entire company to Selena.

Especially knowing that Selena was not his biological daughter, James was still willing to do so. Shelley admired him for that.

People are complex beings, and James faced sconsequences for his mistakes.

He wasn't a perfect person, and there are no ideal people in this world.

Selena: [Shelley, thank you.] Selena owed this friend too much.

Even her recent trip to the coast, when she rallied folks to cto Silver Bay City, was the Harper family pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Shelley: [Thankfor what? My dad agreed without hesitation as soon as he heard I was helping you. He said I would benefit from you in the future, belittlingas worthless, and said you would definitely have a bright future. Lettell you, my dad has a good eye for people. Maybe your company will becthe largest film and television company in the country.] With Shelley chatting with her, Selena's tense emotions briefly relaxed, and she joked with her.

Selena: [Then I won't forget Ms. Harper's support.] Shelley: [At least you have a conscience.] The two teased each other, and Selena finally fell asleep.

Over the past five days, this is the only tSelena has managed to catch ssleep.

Seeing that Selena didn't reply, Shelley guessed she was asleep and quickly put down her phone. Selena slept until dawn, then quickly put on a black outfit and went to the Fair family villa.

James's ashes were in the villa, along with sburial items.

Selena hadn't thought about what burial items to prepare for him, but she found a hidden compartment about 3 square feet in James's room, which contained ssmall trinkets Barbara had given him in the past. These trinkets were not valuable, including hand-woven bracelets, a fan, and a few letters.

Looking at the hand-woven fan, Selena remembered when she was very young, the children around her liked those bamboo dragonflies that flew very high when flicked.

But they were too poor at the time, and every penny at hhad to be spent carefully.

She was sensible and didn't dare to ask for one.

But when she woke up one day, she saw a bamboo dragonfly by her pillow.

Barbara made it herself, and it flew higher than anyone else's.

People can be haunted by things from their youth throughout their lives, but this bamboo dragonfly made her feel spiritually rich.

There were many such things. In the past, the class organized children to donate money. Sdonated a penny, and sdonated two.

At that time, the teacher didn't care much about the children's hildren'sself-esteem. Those who didn't donate would be called out in front of the whole class and ridiculed. Adults didn't know that children's self-esteem could be unexpectedly strong and even affect them in the long term.

Selena didn't dare to tell Barbara about this because she knew her family was poor.

She didn't dare to go to school that day, afraid of being scolded by the teacher, but just before leaving for school, Barbara gave her a dollar.

"Little Selena, Mom heard that the nenews school was organizing donations. It was reported in the news that the earthquake was very serious. Take E this money and donate it. It's our family's intention." Selena walked to school that day with short, quick steps, as if she were floating. What was important were Barbara's words.

"When you earn money in the future, don't forget to help others like this. Little Selena is a kind child." That day, the teacher praised her heavily, and she no longer had to worry about being scolded as soon as she entered the classroom.

When Selena thought about this, she did not agree with the teacher. She was just missing Barbara again.

She packed these relics into a box, not daring to continue reminiscing because in the future, she would really be the only one left in this house. PLAY GAMES ON EPICPLAY FUSION LUDO MAING
