Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 423 Divorce

The fire inside had indeed been extinguished, and Selena was huddled in the far corner, the ropes having been untied and the gag removed.

A fire had just been about to engulf her, but she had been dragged away by a force just in time.

When the sack was untied from her head, she saw the cleaning woman who was supposed to be at the office.

"Miss Fair, are you okay?"

The janitor, a small and thin-faced woman, looked genuinely concerned about her.

Selena always felt familiar with this person until James' voice came and the woman panicked for a split second and immediately ran away.

James saw Selena huddled alone in a corner, uninjured but with clothes that had become dirty and dust floating in her hair.

There was also the pungent smell of burning smoke in the room.

The taste of blood filled James's mouth as he ordered the men he brought.

"Help her to her feet."

Two bodyguards hurried forward, but Selena stood up on her own.

She could see that James was struggling to keep himself upright.
