Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 872 Raymond Must Be Crazy

As soon as Austin bounced, Sophia bolted over like a bat outta hell.

When she found out she snagged a Hollywood gig, she nearly jumped outta her skin, hugging Selena and smooching the contract like it was her long-lost love. She swore up and down she wouldn't let Selena down, then took off with tears streaming down her face.

Betty, though? Cool as a cucumber. Her hand was still kinda janky, so she took her sweet time reading the contract, like ten whole minutes, before finally signing it.

When she was about to bounce, she just gave Selena a quick hug, no words, just vibes.

But man, she hit Selena right in the feels.

Betty's folks were scavengers. She used to be loaded but got wrecked by the White Family. Bet she never thought she'd get a shot at a comeback.

Ronald was spot on; she was tough as nails, like a desert rose, and drop-dead gorgeous to boot.

By the time the dust settled, it was pushing 1 AM.

Ann drove Selena back, and she was dead tired. Almost zonked out in the car.

Selena figured she'd see Raymond chilling in the living room, but when she bent down to kick off her shoes at the door, she remembered Fiona's call. Raymond had moved out.

Well, at least she wouldn't have to deal with him anymore.

She flopped onto the couch, hearing Fiona asking around, "You sure it's not here? Weird. Where could it have gone?"

Selena didn't even bother opening her eyes. Her throat was dry as a bone. "Fiona, what's up?"
