The waiter at the side saw Selena and walked up to her with a helpless look.“These people came here for the past two days, and they’re here for you. They said that if you don’t give them an explanation, they’ll come again to cause trouble, making it impossible for us to do business!”Selena’s face darkened. Her eyes were cold.She felt that it was a pity that Derek did not die.Flora walked over in a few steps and pointed at her aggressively.“Why should you get to do business when my son has become like that? Pooh! You guys can dream on! If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation, I’ll stay here and will never leave!”Flora looked like a shrew. All these years of living a lavish life did not improve her manners.She was dissatisfied with the results of Derek’s incident, so she used such roguish methods to make Selena compromise.Selena looked at her coldly.“What? Didn’t the police tell you the result? If you’re not satisfied, you can appeal the case!”Flora was so ang
Selena’s aunt became anxious when she heard this.She immediately looked at Selena and reprimanded her.“Why are you so ignorant? Can’t you understand what we’re telling you? You’re supposed to pay them the compensation. Otherwise, they can sue you!”The aunt wanted to scare Selena.Selena sneered and raised her voice.“Go ahead and sue me then. Why should I be afraid? I don’t have money. The agreement stipulates that I have to pay the compensation, but the agreement also didn’t include the alimony or share of the property that I’m supposed to get from the divorce. Moreover, it doesn’t stipulate when I have to pay him back. So, let me tell you this. I plan to wait a hundred years before paying them! Come back again after a hundred years!”Selena’s aunt, Flora, and others were all shocked.Selena looked at her aunt. Her eyes were red, and her voice was extremely cold and sinister.“Also, I didn’t see you standing up for me when I was almost beaten to death by the Nortons. Now, y
Selena’s voice was extremely calm.However, it made the influencer feel a chill in her heart.The influencer felt cold and shivered.Her legs were weak, so much so that she could not even stand.She supported her belly and slowly sat down on the sofa not far from her.She could not believe that Derek was suspicious of her.Her secret was almost exposed.The influencer knew Derek’s character. He was irritable, sinister, and liked to beat women.If Derek saw the DNA test results and found out that her baby was not his, he might kick her belly and kill the baby.The influencer broke out in a cold sweat in just a few seconds.She shuddered.The light in the private room was not dim, and it made Selena look cold and aloof.Her expression was indifferent and calm as if she was in control of everything.Selena seemed to know that she was secretly taking videos with her phone just now.After a long time, the influencer gradually calmed down.However, her complexion did not impro
Of course, it was mainly because Julie made an appointment with Nicole.Julie’s TV show had recently ended, so she planned to take a break.When Nicole brought Chatty and Fischer to the private room, Julie was taken aback.“Why did you bring them here?!”Then, Julie smiled and went to kiss them one by one.Chatty and Fischer were carrying small school bags. They stood there obediently, but their eyes wandered around curiously.They felt like they discovered a new world.Nicole laughed. “I brought them here to broaden their sighs. Otherwise, should her first time in a bar be with a stranger when she becomes an adult?”She patted Fischer’s head and said, “Bring Chatty with you to do your homework. I’ll get you guys some snacks.”Fischer nodded and went to a booth with Chatty.Seeing this, Julie immediately called her other friends who were supposed to join them.Then Julie collapsed on the sofa and complained to her.“I wanted to let loose...”Nicole laughed. “I’ll take you
None of them answered Cindy’s question, which made the situation turn awkward in an instant.Cindy pursed her lips in embarrassment.Nicole had the highest status among the people in the room. Thus, even if Nicole said something harsh, Cindy would not dare to retort Nicole.Julie kept an indifferent attitude. She did not talk, nod, or answer anything.She was just wary of Cindy.Cindy had bad luck ever since she joined their game. She used to be quite successful at the poker table, but she did not win a single round this time.Selena, on the other hand, kept a huge smile.Nicole and Julie won some and lost some.After a few rounds, Chatty ran over from the opposite side of the room. She was sweating profusely as she held her small arm out to Nicole.“Mommy! Daddy wants to talk to you!”Nicole paused and looked at Chatty’s smartwatch which doubled as a phone.She was stunned and thought, ‘Where’s my phone?’Nicole muted her phone and forgot about it.She quickly held Chatty
Nicole smiled guiltily without revealing it on her face.Hopefully, this would not happen again!The atmosphere in the car was nice.When they returned home, Nicole went into the study. Mrs. Zoe prepared fruit for everyone.Meanwhile, Clayton volunteered to teach the kids Russian.Thus, the long night began again.In less than an hour, Nicole came out of the study after she finished her work.Clayton and the kids, who were supposed to be studying, were also gone.Mrs. Zoe came over, yawned, and smiled.“Fischer and Chatty are asleep. Mr. Sloan went to wash up.”Nicole nodded and said, “You should also sleep early.”Mrs. Zoe nodded with a smile.Nicole stretched her back and walked slowly toward the bedroom.Clayton was indeed showering in the bathroom because Nicole could hear the trickling sound of water.After continuous rehabilitation, Clayton’s leg injury improved significantly.Compared with the time when he just returned to Mediania, Clayton no longer felt pain in
Eric seemed to have some impression of that noisy woman.Mitchell nodded. “Why don’t we go straight to Hannah Simpson? She may just tell us the truth.”Eric was silent for a moment.He looked stern.“There’s no rush. Don’t alert the enemy. Find out how she got into that company.”Mitchell nodded.There were still a lot of doubts about this matter.The Jenningses would be too stupid to harm Chance.Also, why would Hannah work at their company afterward?This was equivalent to admitting their connection with Hannah.However, if the incident had nothing to do with the Jenningses, how could Hannah coincidentally work for them?The Jenningses were also on the guest list of that party.Mitchell did not dare to take this lightly and immediately started investigating the Jenningses.The investigation was not difficult.The human resources department of Jennings Corporation was informed by the senior management of the company that Hannah would work for them.They even skipped the
Cindy threw the question to Jayla.Of course, Jayla, who was a pampered young lady who only knew how to enjoy herself, was not aware that Cindy had negotiating skills.When Cindy asked her this question, Jayla froze for a moment.“But he said he’s busy…”“That’s true, but you had one minute to talk to him just now. Ms. Jennings, I think you missed your chance. If there’s another opportunity next time, I’ll contact you again.”Jayla looked at Cindy gratefully, took a deep breath, and held her hand.Her long nails poked Cindy, but she was not aware and only held Cindy’s hand tightly.“Ms. Yeager, thank you very much. I don’t know what I’d do without you!”Cindy suppressed the disgust in her eyes and smiled patiently.“No problem. Didn’t we agree that if you help me to solve a small problem, I’ll give you a chance? Unfortunately, I couldn’t help you...”Cindy sighed regretfully.Jayla took a deep breath and did not give up yet.“It’s progress that I get to meet him. I will def
