Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 496 Raymond Wanted to Marry Me

The officer's gaze fell upon Lillian, her eyes brimming with terror and her cheeks still wet with tears.

"Yes, it was..." she stammered, her back slick with cold sweat. She yearned for nothing more than to escape the situation.

Lillian had painstakingly climbed the social ladder to be with Carter, and she was determined not to let an insignificant woman ruin it all. Despite the lack of clarity, the police decided to release them.

Fearful, Lillian decided to leave Rose Garden. She and Selena, who was also returning to Ashbourne Manor, ended up departing together. Throughout the journey, Lillian's legs trembled incessantly, and Selena's presence only heightened her unease.

Upon reaching the curb, Selena broke the silence.

"Ms. Lillian, you won't be causing any more trouble for me, will you?" Her smile was sharp, a stark contrast to her soft-spoken words. Lillian froze. "No, I wouldn't dare."

With that, Selena climbed into her car and drove off.

Once she was out of sight, Lillian nearly collapsed in relief, her back drenched in cold sweat. Her tears flowed even more freely, and her cheeks ached from the tension.

She was genuinely terrified of Selena and wouldn't dare confide in Carter.

As Selena drove away, she was oblivious to the car parked a short distance away, its occupant keeping a close watch on her.
