Reclaiming Her Heart

While wiping the alcohol off Philip with a tissue, Shelley constantly belittled her own attire.

"I bought them from street vendors. The shoes were twenty yuan, and the clothes are all cheap items. The bag was less than thirty yuan. That person said it was worth over two million, but I think they were just intimidated by my demeanor." She said it matter-of-factly, then kissed Philip on the cheek.

"I'm sorry for splashing you earlier, but you have to promise me not to accompany these women for money next time. Even if you buy gifts, I won't accept them."

Although Selena didn't have any special feelings towards Philip, she had to admit that he did have a good-looking face. It's no wonder someone was willing to spend a hundred thousand yuan to bring him out for a meal.

She lowered her gaze and remained silent, listening as Shelley continued to coax her for a while before the two of them walked out sweetly.

When they reached the door, Shelley turned back and winked at her. Selena didn't follow them like a third wheel at this moment. She heard Shelley say,

"You don't know the situation at my house yet? I have a younger brother who spends a lot of money. My mom is counting on using my dowry money to buy him a house. But don't worry, I won't ask for much for the dowry. I will persuade my mom."

"Shelly, you're so good to me."

Selena put her hand on her forehead, unable to bear listening any longer. She waited until the two of them were far away before slowly catching up.

Shelley and Philip got on the elevator, but Selena moved slowly and did not catch up.

When she passed by Raymond's room, she happened to see Alex coming out from inside.

Alex raised an eyebrow when he saw her. Selena regretted not having caught up with Shelley just now. It seemed impolite not to say hello to Alex now. "Mr. Wen."

Alex glanced behind her, as the elevator was on that side and she had come from the other side. Moreover, he could hear the noise and crying, which all seemed like scenes from a melodramatic television show. Her husband

Alex was always interested in such things because they could provide inspiration for him.

The two of them entered the elevator together and he had a smile on his face.

"Men will always make mistakes."

Selena thought he had heard about the commotion just now, especially since the girl had left in tears.

"It was just a misunderstanding."

Alex was a screenwriter and was accustomed to the pretense in the entertainment industry's marriages.

Many men couldn't control themselves, after all, being immersed in this line of work. There were few who could maintain their original goals.

Several male stars who presented themselves as doting husbands on the surface actually enjoyed themselves outside even more, and they were even more exhilarated than anyone else in the industry.

The paparazzo caught hold of it several times, and each time the woman paid a high price to buy the news from the paparazzo's hands to prevent it from leaking out.

One phrase they often said was.

"It's just a misunderstanding, he actually still loves me."

He thought Selena was different, considering the strength she displayed at the casino, she didn't seem like a woman who would toil and bear in a marriage. But in essence, they were still headed down the same path. Alex was somewhat regretful, as he had initially supported Selena and Raymond's involvement, especially since Raymond had indeed spent a night with her.

Others may not know, but he was well aware that Raymond was extremely self-disciplined to the point of being terrifying. If it wasn't for Selena truly appealing to his taste, why would he let himself be tangled up for a night?

But now, Selena's thoughts were still confined to a failed marriage, obviously not matching up to Raymond. So he simply let out a light laugh and didn't say anything more.

The elevator stopped downstairs, Selena took the lead and got off, parting ways with Alex in front of the hotel lobby. She could sense that Alex's attitude seemed to have changed a bit.

He had intentionally joked about her and Raymond before, but now he had an attitude of hoping she would distance herself from Raymond.
