Reclaiming Her Heart

Selena eyed Delia and Kyle, the paternity test right there in front of her. Victor had personally overseen it, and he had no reason to fake it. The hair sample? Selena herself had pulled it, and it was delivered by the Ashbourne Manor bodyguards, who were handpicked by William. No way they'd betray her.

Delia noticed Selena deep in thought and figured she was thinking about where to put them up.

"Selena, we're not fussy," Delia said. "You're the CEO now, right? You must have a nice place. Show us around."

Kyle jumped in, "Yeah, we came all the way from Ridgefield, spent hours on the road, and even threw up a few times. We came just to see you."

Their faces lit up like they'd hit the jackpot. In Ridgefield, they barely scraped by. Who would've thought their daughter ended up with a rich family and became so successful?

Delia tried to link arms with Selena, but Selena stepped back.

However, the paternity test in her hand was a stark reminder of her connection to Delia and Kyle, and people around them were starting to notice.

Selena took a deep breath. "I'm really busy right now. Let's talk later."

Delia and Kyle's smiles vanished. It was clear Selena was stalling.

"Fine," Delia snapped. "If you want to talk later, give us two million dollars first. We're exhausted and need a good place to stay."

Selena found it laughable. What place would cost two million dollars?

"I don't have that kind of money," Selena said coldly.

Delia threatened, "Do you think we want to deal with you? Your brother needs your help. He was wronged. If you don't give us money or help, we'll sue you!" The law was a pain. If Delia and Kyle sued Selena, they might actually win.

S.M Corporation was at a critical time, and any bad move could turn into a PR nightmare, shifting the public's anger from All Star Entertainment to S.M Corporation.

Selena called the finance department and got six thousand dollars in cash.

She handed the cash to Delia, her tone icy. "Take this six thousand for now. I have to work overnight. We'll talk after I'm done."

But Delia, being the drama queen she was, threw the money back in Selena's face. "You're a CEO and only give us six thousand dollars? Aren't you ashamed? We're your biological parents, and you're treating us like beggars. What the hell do you mean?"

Cash was scattered everywhere, and all the employees around stared.

Delia raised her voice. "Everyone, look at this! This is how Selena treats her parents. We've been searching for her for years, and she gives us six thousand dollars to get lost. How can someone like this be a CEO?"

Kyle didn't stop Delia's outburst. They had no shame and didn't care about the scene they were causing.

Delia even sat on the ground. "After all these years of searching, she ends up treating me like this. If I had known, I would've strangled her back then. Selena, if you don't help your brother, we'll sue you. Think about whether you can handle that."

Selena looked at the cash on the ground, her face turning cold.

She called over the bodyguards and pointed at Delia and Kyle. "Throw them out and don't let them back in again," she said, her voice devoid of emotion.
