Singed Once Always Wary

Chapter 68 Is she worthy of it?

Selena stood still, expressionless as she listened to these words.

She had been trying to convince herself that James‘ heart wasn’t off, that her father had been good enough for her since her mother’s death.

But that was no better than a millionth of what she had done for Beatrice’s children.

Selena was amused at the thought of her struggling to come up with a down payment while James was giving Nick tens of millions of dollars for a villa with a flourish.

James and Beatrice soon spotted her,

Beatrice frowned, “How come you’re here?”

James also looked over, and when he saw that Selena was also followed by an agent wearing the same uniform, he inexplicably had the embarrassment of being caught in the act.

“Selena, are you here to buy a house?”

Selena’s heart was already covered with disappointment, but her face did not move, “Well, the apartment where I live was burglarized, so I thought I’d come and choose a house with a higher security factor.”

James mumbled his lips a few times, thinking of Selena living alone outside these years, then some guilt.

“That

Before he could finish his sentence, he was Lugged down by Beatrice’s sleeve.

“Listen, in front of your father, don’t play pity, I heard Cassius gave you a wedding house worth several hundred million dollars, if you really have no place to live, directly going there is not bad, and you can also draw closer the relationship between you and Raymond, you are a couple, serve him well, your father here will also be much better.”

“Beatrice.”

Selena looked askance at Beatrice with a very light expression on her face.

“Even if I do play poor in front of my dad, it seems to be none of your business, he can give another man’s son a villa of tens of millions of dollars, do you want to stop him from buying a house for his own daughter? Besides, my dad hasn’t said he’s going to buy it for me yet, so what’s your hurry?”

Beatrice’s face was red with embarrassment.

James was caught in the middle, and felt that Selena’s words were a bit too much, in front of the two agents, Beatrice was at least her elder.

“My dear, Beatrice is such an acute person, don’t bother with her, which set do you fancy, dad will buy it for you.”

He tried to use money to smooth out the guilt he felt for his daughter.

Selena pulled her lips and lowered her eyes, “No need, dad and Beatrice continue to look, I’ll go somewhere else.”

She didn’t

want

to live in the same neighborhood as Nick.

James was rejected, a flash of bemusement appeared on his face, and Beatrice on the side frowned outright

“What do you mean? I don’t see you treating us as family from the beginning to the end, and yes, if it weren’t for you, Alice wouldn’t still be in the hospital at this moment.”

“Beatrice, I thought I had shown enough of the obvious, we are all adults, why make it so embarrassing, I just didn’t want to be under the same roof with him, that’s why I moved out, and now it’s because he wants to live here that I decided to look elsewhere, what, must I make it clear that I’m not welcome?”

Chapter 68 Is she worthy of it.

“You! I think your mother died because of you! I’m going to teach you a lesson for your mother today!”

Beatrice raised her hand to slap her, but Selena’s beautiful eyes were so still that they were cold, and she grabbed her hand and slapped it over wi03:38

hesitation.

This slap took everyone by surprise, and directly shattered the calmness that she had been trying to pretend for several years,

Beatrice’s brain was dazed and she covered her fare in disbelief.

“I told you last time, right, if Beatrice does it again, I will not he polite to you.

As soon as the words left his mouth, James bellowed angrily, “Selena!!!” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

raised his hands in anger and was trembling all over.

He was the father, of course Selena could not return the favor, but from the moment he raised his hand, it was clear that she hall expected this outcome, but her heart still hurt uncontrollably and vaguely.

James did not slap down in the end, and stopped in the air for a long time before looking at her with a disappointed face.

“You used to be so understanding, how did you become like this now?”

He took Beatrice in his arms to comfort her, but when had Beatrice ever been treated like that, and by that woman’s daughter.

Her chest was shivering and she screamed and was about to lunge.

“All right!”

James‘ tone was a rare stern one, Apologize to Beatrice, she is your elder after all, its not like you to do such”

Selena turned her head to the agent, “Sorry, show me around again somewhere else.”

“Selena!”

James got angry like this for the first time and started shouting really loudly, his lips were a little white as he wondered since when did his own daughter stop listening to him,

“Dad, my mom is dead.”

Selena stopped and looked at her father without hiding

“Beatrice, who is she to put her hands on me three times? You’re worried about Alice being in danger out there by herself, why aren’t you worried about what I’ve encountered out there over the years? You keep someone else’s son around, but instead you let your own daughter go and marry a stranger, am I going too far or is Beatrice going too far? And who is she to teach me a lesson instead of my mother, what makes her worthy?!*
