Reclaiming Her Heart

She was so scared that she quickly hid behind Ann, not understanding why everyone suddenly seemed ready to attack her just because she had made a few snide comments about Selena.

She tugged at Ann's sleeve desperately.

"Ann, please, talk to them."

But Ann remained silent.

Raymond waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards to take her away.

By the time she got home and found out what had happened to Otha, she wouldn't be so arrogant.

Connie knew she couldn't fight against so many people alone, so she hurriedly left, feeling humiliated.

Back at her place, she felt a surge of anger.

"Damn it, why did those people treat me like that!"

Fuming, she dialed Otha's number, seeking some comfort from him.

But before she could make the call, her phone rang. It was the school, informing her

that Otha had been taken away by the police.noveldrama

They didn't say much else, but it was enough to shock Connie.

She stared in disbelief, thinking she must have heard wrong.

"The police must have made a mistake. My husband hasn't done anything wrong. He's been keeping a low profile for the past two years. I need to go to the police station right away."

But the person on the other end of the line didn't listen to her rambling.

Her face turned pale, and Selena's face suddenly flashed in her mind.

Selena had just said she would make sure Otha ended up in jail, and now he really was. Who else could have done this but that vile woman!

Connie was furious and rushed to the company, but as she reached the building, she suddenly realized something.

Selena could casually say a few words and have Otha thrown in jail.

What would happen if she continued to provoke Selena?

The last bit of color drained from her face, and she quickly called Ann.

Ann hadn't blocked her yet but didn't want to answer her call either.

Connie had no choice. For the first time, she was this angry. Ann used to treat her like a queen, and getting a call from her felt like being pampered. But now, Ann dared not to

answer.

She was about to explode with rage and wanted to go to Ann's company herself.

But the path to Ann's company was now filled with bodyguards. She had just caused a scene there, and there was no way they would let her in again. She had been permanently blacklisted.

Connie stomped her feet in frustration but had no other options. She could only sit in the lobby and wait, vowing to intercept Ann.

She waited until 2 AM.

Hungry and dizzy, she finally saw Ann.

Ann stepped out of the top-floor elevator, frowning when she saw her.

Connie, exhausted, hungry, and thirsty, was now furious.

"You bitch! How dare you make me wait this long!"

She was used to being tough in front of Ann, standing with her hands on her hips, looking superior.

Ann almost couldn't help but comfort her, but remembering what Selena had said earlier, she lowered her head and headed for the door.

"Ann! Oh, so now you're pretending not to see me, huh? Everyone, look! I raised my daughter, and now she won't even acknowledge me."

Ann shook off her hand and walked straight outside.

Connie didn't expect her to do that and nearly fell to the ground.

Ann walked quickly and soon saw the car waiting by the curb.

Tonight wasn't supposed to be a night for romance, and it was already 2 AM. Why was this man here?

She didn't think too much about it, suddenly remembering she had said she would transfer her feelings to this man, and got in the car.

When Connie chased after her, she only saw Ann getting into a very expensive car.

She paused, then cursed and tried to approach, but the car had already started, leaving her in a cloud of exhaust fumes.

Connie was furious, wanting to curse, but then remembered Otha was still in jail and had no idea what to do.

In the car driving away, Ann quietly looked out the window.

The man had a silver ring on his index finger tonight. He didn't speak, slowly turning the ring with his other hand, looking somewhat somber.

Ann thought carefully, making sure she hadn't offended him, then slowly reached out and grabbed his hand.

The man was surprised, probably because it was the first time she had been so forward. He raised an eyebrow, then scanned her from head to toe, as if assessing a piece of merchandise.

Ann had always known her place in his mind, nothing more than a shameless woman for his pleasure.

Because she had understood this from the beginning, she had grown accustomed to being scrutinized like this.

It no longer made her uncomfortable.

She took a deep breath and suddenly sat on his lap.

His hand, the one with the ring, instinctively wrapped around her waist.

He was tall, with broad shoulders, making her seem small as he held her. "In such a hurry?"
