Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 516 Never Be with Him

Selena's pain was so intense that her body quivered uncontrollably. In the corridor, Shelley was frantically imploring their father to urgently contact Baxter Barnes. She had no prior relationship with Baxter, and a cold call might not win his favor; only their father could achieve that.
