Chapter 12

He stretched out his long, strong arms and lifted the sleeping woman from the sofa, to return to the bedroom.

This was originally his bedroom.

When Selena came, it became the place where she lived.

He gently laid Selena on the bed, bent down to help her take off her shoes and cover up the quilt, his long and slender fingers slid over her beautiful face, his dark eyes revealed a hint of suppressed aggression, his voice raspy, "Good night."

Got to give the girl time to settle in gradually.

If he scares her off, it will be his lost.

The next day, Selena drove to Olympus Group on time, but outside the main gate, she was stopped by Dominic.

Selena, who was originally in quite a good mood, was instantly affected by the sight of Dominic and said in a cold voice, "Get out of the way!"

Dominic thought that if he took the initiative to come to Selena, Selena must be complacent, but he did not expect that beautiful face to be full of coldness and boredom.

Thinking of Mrs. Walson's warning, Dominic suppressed the depression in his heart and tried to soften his expression and voice, "Selena, let's talk."

Selena's lips curled into a mocking smile, "I don't think that there is anything to talk about between me and you, Mr. Walson."

When she finished, she walked around him, stepped on her heels and was about to leave.

Dominic was anxious and raised his hand to grab her, Selena dodged his hand, took off the sunglasses on her face and abruptly coldened her voice, "This is Olympus Group, not the Walson family, if you dare to act with the slightest disrespect towards me again, I will have to call the security guards!"

Dominic observed the girl opposite him and found that her's expression was nothing but indifference and disgust.

His heart was inexplicably a bit unpleasant, he said sullenly, "Selena, don't think that Luke is really treating you well, he just eyes on your beauty and wants to use you to fight the Riddle family!"

Selena inclined her head, the corners of her lips blossoming into a seductive smile, "What does it matter to you how Mr. Jordan treats me, Mr. Walson? What qualifications do you have to meddle in my affairs?"

Dominic stared at her smile, his gaze drifted for a moment, and he didn't resent Mrs. Walson's proposal so much, "We grew up together after all, I don't want to watch you being used by others. Selena, I'll give you one more chance, get married with me, you can still become the young madam of the Walson family."

Selena sneered, "Get married? How come you have forgotten what you said before? You will never marry me in this life, but now you want to get married with me?"

"That's your fault, if you hadn't done such a scandalous thing, why would I have said that?" Dominic couldn't show a trace of guilt on his face and said with a straight face, "You know your current reputation in your own heart, so the news of our marriage can't be made public."

Selena stared at him motionlessly.

When Dominic met her cold, clear eyes, his heart palpitated slightly, and he had the feeling that his inner nastiness had been seen through by her.

To hide his weakness, he added gently, "But don't worry, I'll treat you well."

This was the softest and nicest thing he had ever said to Selena.

Selena revealed a delicate smile, her pleasant voice was ironic, "Dominic, what makes you think that I would be willing to get married with you? In terms of looks, in terms of power and wealth, in terms of drive, you are no match for Mr. Jordan."

Not to mention Osvaldo.

Dominic was not even qualified to compete with Osvaldo.

This is the most uncomfortable thing for a man to compare himself to others, especially a man who thinks highly of himself.

Dominic was almost furious, but when he thought of Selena's twenty percent shareholding, he could barely hold down his anger. He suppressed his temper, "Selena, I know you're angry with me for repudiating the marriage in public, but think about what you've done. With your current reputation, there won't be any men in the whole of Creephia who will be willing to accept you except for me."

He was saying that she should be grateful that he was willing to marry her, instead of refusing.

Selena tilted her head slightly, her eyebrows furrowed, and from Dominic's perspective, she seemed to be holding back and struggling.

As expected, a moment later, Selena spoke out, her voice not fluctuating in the slightest, "I can marry you, but Dominic, you must at least show some sincerity."

Dominic sighed in relief, a sneer passing through his eyes.

As expected, she was still the same Selena who was submissive to him, and no matter how she was treated, she could be immediately cajoled if he said a few soft words.

His expression returned to condescension as he stared at Selena's face and asked, "What do you want?"

With the Riddle's 20 per cent as a prerequisite, he didn't mind being generous to her when it came to money.

Selena chuckled, her gaze cold, "Tomorrow is your grandfather's birthday banquet, I want you to publicly clarify at the birthday banquet that Leah is a mistress, she deliberately seduced you and tarnished my reputation in the first place!"

Dominic froze and gave a cold expression, "No!"

Once that incident became public and Leah became a mistress, his reputation would have to be ruined along with it.

Selena's expression did not show the slightest bit of disappointment as she turned to walk away, her clear, cold mocking voice smashing into Dominic's ears.

"Dominic, don't think too highly of yourself, I am the rightful first lady of the Riddle family, as long as I get married, the entire Riddle family will be mine, by then, the Riddle family will merge with Olympus Group and will dominate Creephia, you and your Walson family are nothing by then."

Dominic's face changed drastically and he raised his head, staring at Selena's back with a deadly stare.

It seemed somewhat unbelievable that such heartless and desperate words would come out of Selena's mouth.

She used to speak, even in front of him, in a whisper, lest he might be even the slightest bit upset.

Now she can actually be sarcastic without changing her face.

When the Riddle family merges with the Olympus Group, what happens to the Walson family will certainly not be good.

It was only at this moment that he was shocked to realise that Selena really hated him now.

She had revenge on him!

He looked at Selena's gradually distant back, and at this moment, he had a clear and firm perception.

Selena really doesn't care about him anymore!

He could no longer coax Selena back with the same way of the past.

Dominic's heart ached slightly, suppressing the coldness that inexplicably flooded his heart, he clenched his fists.

It looks like if he wants to win back Selena and get that twenty percent of shares, he will have to sacrifice Leah!
