Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 425 Domestic Violence

"How long have you been working here?" Selena asked.

"Two years," the woman responded.

That meant she knew about James' family living in a villa and running a company in New York even before Steven, possibly even before Victoria. She had kept silent all this time. It was also her who had notified James last night. Selena noticed the bruised skin peeping from beneath the woman's sleeve. It seemed that even now, Steven had never ceased his violent ways at home.

When Lily Fair saw that Selena had nothing more to say, she suddenly burst into tears.

"Miss. Fair, please don't fire me."

Selena was startled and quickly pulled her up, "What are you doing?"

Lily Fair looked down. "I know you never really liked our family..."

Selena was silent. She didn't have a strong impression of Lily Fair. Now, seeing her small and frail, with a face marked by hardships and exposed skin covered in bruises, Selena couldn't help but feel a surge of compassion. "I never considered firing you. Just cooperate with the police to give your statement for now."

Lily Fair, fearing Selena might regret her leniency, hurriedly nodded and left.

Once she was gone, Selena felt a slight alleviation of her headache.

Lily Fair had been working here for two years, and her father hadn't even realized that she was his brother's wife.

Selena was about to dive into her work files when a message from Raymond popped up. Sent to her personal number, it was clearly intended for his wife.

A brief message read: "Take the money."
