Chapter 424 Betrayed by a Loved One "Miss Fair, don't be sad," the bodyguard said, mistakenly thinking Selena's silence stemmed from the harshness of Raymond's words. Selena sighed. "My dad wants to go home. Once he's awake, we'll do just that. Make sure he's well-taken care of and keep others away.

"Got it." The bodyguard's attitude was respectful. Ever since Beatrice had fallen, Selena had been the one in charge of the entire Fair family. Now that she had also acquired shares, she was the undisputed heir to the company. After giving a few more instructions, Selena had the driver take her back. It was now 2 am.

Returning to the Rose Garden, she caught a glimpse of her reflection in the mirror.

Her face was grimy, her hair a nest for ashes.

The suit she was wearing was filthy, having been stuffed in a bag the whole time.

Taking her time, she showered slowly, emerging in her pajamas only to feel completely drained. She collapsed onto her bed and drifted into sleep instantly.

It wasn't that she didn't want someone to investigate this kidnapping; since Olivia was involved, Raymond would surely see to it that the matter was thoroughly investigated.

And sure enough, at this moment, Raymond had not yet rested.

Olivia had been sent hcrying. She wasn't hurt, just frightened. "Raymond, you must find out exactly what happened this time." When Raymond returned to the hotel, John also appeared.

"Sir, I've found out. It was a gang of desperados. Their accounts had already been transferred abroad, and they fled overnight. They were very well prepared. They even used three million to charter a plane to escape, probably never intending to cback." People like these are the hardest to trace.

This time, Alice spent a hefty sum. She had only received thirty million, yet she directly spent twenty million on the plot. The people she hired were indeed specialists in such operations, the type who would flee faster than anyone else when trouble arose.

Alice was more astute than both Nick and Beatrice. Knowing that Raymond did not know what Selena looked like, she deliberately orchestrated this plot.

Selena had taken so much from her. Alice wanted Selena to experience the bitter taste of being betrayed by a loved one! Alice was absolutely certain that Selena wouldn't dare expose her identity because she was deeply in love with Raymond! Now, Alice had indeed left New York. After carrying out her scheme, she took the remaining ten million and left. Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to secure that last bit of money! Last night, she had intended for those men to assault Selena directly, but Raymond's people arrived too quickly. Even if Raymond despised Selena, he would never allow her to die right before his eyes, so the kidnappers had no choice but to leave Selena behind; otherwise, none of them would have been able to get away. To Alice, this was a triumph, and she couldn't wait to see if Selena was utterly heartbroken by the ordeal.

But Alice had miscalculated.

Selena had slept well that night, so exhausted that she dreamt of nothing.

Waking up, she felt dizzy, her wrists marked with red indentations-a testament to James's force and fury from the night before.

Freshening up, she headed to the Fair family company.

This time, she approached the janitor, a diligently working figure of around five-foot-three.

Standing beside her, the janitor paused her task and quickly greeted her, "Miss Fair." "Could you step into my office for a moment?" The janitor paused to think, then slowly followed behind.

Once inside the office, Selena took a seat. She was running a fever today, and it showed in the pallor of her lips.

"The coffee you threw out for me, was it poisoned?" Selena's gaze was piercing, fixed intently on her.

The janitor stiffened, hesitated a moment, then nodded. "Yes." "Given your presence there yesterday, you must have known Mark was involved." "Yes."

"I've already called the police. They'll need your testimony. Do you stil have that cup of cofeed Unexpectedly, the woman had thought to keep it. "I've kept it." "Good. Go with the police and give your statement. Also, who else is involved in this?" The woman rattled off a few names-all of which were on Selena's list of people to let go.

Selena looked at her, a meaningful expression on her face, and it took her a while to ask, "Have we met before?" The janitor's hands quivered instantly, her eyes showing a flicker of hesitation and uncertainty, before she finally said, "I'm Steven's wife." A look of disbelief swept across Selena's face. No wonder the woman looked familiar at the company, but she couldn't remember where she'd seen her before.

The memory was simply too distant, and the last tSelena had seem her, she'd been crouching on a sofa, whipped with a belt by Steven, not daring to move.

Steven's wife, Lily Fair, had been a stay-at-hmom for years to take care of, their two sons. Now that the How boys were grown up, she had started looking for a job.
