Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

But, as Selene was exiting the hall, she suddenly stopped herself. Leaving just like that, it looked like she was forfeiting Jennifer’s challenge.

Though Selene couldn’t read Clint’s mind, compared with others, she could see that he felt unhappy to be involved in Jennifer’s show of gratitude.

Selene hated Clint for his cooperation with Jennifer, but she also felt somewhat sympathetic to him.

As she thought this, she was standing in front of the exit hallway without moving.

After a while, the crowd started to move out. The spectators left first, and then the reporters.

Finally, Jennifer, together with her friends and family, also came out.

As Selene was standing there by herself, Clint was quick to recognize her. He swiftly said his goodbyes to the rest and caught up with Selene.

He collected his thoughts. He was about to say, “Please stop making assumptions about Jennifer and me,” but before he could speak, Jennifer grabbed his arm from the back.

“Thank you for attending my show, Selene. I’m touched.” Jennifer said, then turned to Clint. “The dinner party is waiting for us, darling. Let’s go.”

Clint suddenly broke his hands free from her grasp and looked at her coldly. “Jennifer. Please stop pretending like there’s something going on between us. What you’ve just said to me in front of the media will cause me a lot of trouble and misunderstanding. Please don’t do that ever again.”

Jennifer looked as if she had just been struck and pointed at Selene with her index finger. “Are you still helping her? She just took advantage of you to take revenge on her ex-boyfriend. You’re not even friends with her anymore. Why are you still doing this?”

Seeing Jennifer’s disappointed expression, a wave of happiness washed over Selene. “This is between my ex-husband and me. You should mind your own business and stay out of ours.”

“Jenni, what happened?” Johnson shouted from a distance.

Jennifer snorted and turned away with tears in her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Johnson asked again, worriedly.

“Nothing.” Jennifer shook her head.

Johnson knew about his sister’s infatuation with Clint. He turned to his friend. “Hey, Clint. Are you coming to the dinner party to celebrate?”

“No, I’m not.” Clint looked at Selene without even glancing at Johnson.

After the Kellers left, Clint held Selene’s arm. “Is it clear to you now that there’s nothing going on between Jennifer and me?”

Selene sneered. “It’s none of my business whether you are Jennifer’s ‘intimate’ friend or not.”

“We need to talk.” Clint frowned and said in a low voice.

“Talk about what? You and Jennifer?”

“Is it clear to you yet that I don’t like her?”

“You must be delusional. Do you expect all women to be obsessed with you like Jennifer?”

Clint sighed, exasperated. “We should sit down and talk. I’m sick of this animosity between us.”

Hearing this, Selene realized that she was also sick of it. She wanted things to go back to normal. She looked at Clint’s eyes and was ready to reply, but her phone rang.

She took her phone out and answered. “Hi, Austin. What’s up?”

“Harry’s hand was hurt by one of the machines at the factory,” Austin said in a hurry.

“What?” Selene shouted, her face full of shock. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. “Okay. I’ll come right away.”

“What happened?” Clint asked after Selene hung up.

“Nothing,” Selene said anxiously. “I think we’re done talking. I’ll go now.”

She walked by the road and stopped a taxi. Clint hurriedly caught up and grabbed her arm gently. “Why won’t you tell me what happened? Who was that on the phone?”

Selene was too anxious and worried to stay rational. “There’s nothing between us anymore. Why should I tell you? It would be best if you went to find Jennifer. She will keep you company.”

Clint was annoyed with her and let go of her. “Selene. You’re too emotionally volatile. Finally, I can’t stand you anymore. I don’t understand your sudden mood swings. We’re both mature, but you always act this way. Aren’t you tired of it?”

“Good. Just leave me alone, then. Nobody forces you to stay here,” Selene replied coldly, then got into the taxi and slammed the door shut.

Selene sat in the taxi and kept calling her father’s phone. But no one answered.

Austin was waiting for her at her apartment. When he saw Selene, he went to her and comforted her. “Don’t worry, Selene. I’ve just spoken to my mum, and she told me that Harry’s three fingers that had been cut off were reattached by doctors.”

“I’m really worried about him. I’ll go home tonight.” Selene said anxiously.

“Okay. I’ll drive you home with my car and help take care of your father.”

“You don’t have to. I could just take a taxi by myself.”

“I should go with you, Selene. It’s not that safe for you to take a taxi alone. Besides, I have some free time.”

“Really? But you shouldn’t trouble yourself for this.”

“It’s no trouble at all. If it’s important to you, then it’s also important to me.”

“Okay, thank you. Austin. I really appreciate it. Let’s go now.”

When Selene and Austin arrived at the hospital where Harry was, they found him lying on the bed with Mrs. Dora by him, dozing.

When Dora heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she suddenly awoke. “You’re back.” She whispered.

Harry soon opened his eyes and looked at Selene. He sat himself up. “Selene. Why do you come back?” He asked.

Selene frowned. “What happened to you? How did you manage to cut your fingers like that?” When Selene came near Harry, the familiar stench hit her again. “Were you drunk again?” Selene asked with anger in her eyes.

Several hours later, the stench of alcohol was still on him. So, it was obvious to Selene that Harry had drunk himself way past tipsy and got hurt as a result.

Dora took Selene’s arm. “Please don’t be angry with Harry. It was an accident.”
