Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 499 She Loves Who Loves Her

"What do you mean his situation isn't that great?" Selena queried, a frown creasing her brow.

"Just the usual drama in our circles," Shelley replied nonchalantly. "Some wealthy cougar has her eyes on him. She's a good fifty years old, and she loves toying with young guys.

Selena and Shelley were close, but Selena seldom indulged in the high society gossip with her. However, regardless of the circle, human nature tended to be the same.
