Chapter 2409 Gain the Upper Hand
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, you’re asking
me to admit my fault and pay them for your own benefit? Auntie, have some shame! I was lucky that I wasn't
beaten to death, so don't try to morally kidnap me. The Nortons are all
atrocious people!"
The aunt was overwhelmed by Selena's temper.
She was speechless for a while.
Flora stomped over angrily. "Did you just say that my family is atrocious?!"
She reached out to slap Selena, but Selena firmly grabbed her wrist.
Flora was weak, and she was all bark and no bite.
She only knew how to enjoy life and did not exercise. Thus, she fell sick every year and always relied on
supplements.
How could she win a fight?
Flora glanced at Selena in shock. Her eyes were burning with fury.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelena grabbed her wrist tightly until Flora winced in pain.
She looked at Flora indifferently with a creepy chill.
"Flora, if you dare to be like your son and touch a strand of my hair, I will make sure that you end up like your son!"
Selena pushed Flora away violently. Flora staggered backward and fell on the sofa behind her.
Flora was humiliated.
She thought about what Derek looked like now and shuddered all over.
Flora raised her head abruptly.
"Do you think you're above the law? Derek is paralyzed because of you! The three of us will have no one to rely on
in the future, so who else can we look for if not you?!"
The corner of Selena's mouth twitched.
"I don’t want my alimony anymore. You can treat it as your compensation. Selling Derek's company is enough for
you to live the rest of your life without worries."
Flora was dissatisfied with this conclusion.
To her, Selena should go bankrupt and compensate them with everything she had.
It did not matter to Flora who was right or wrong, or whose responsibility it was.
Derek's life was precious, so Selena should support them for the rest of their lives and treat them like a king. Selena
should be a slave to them!
Flora did not want Derek's sacrifice to be in vain.
She wanted to struggle to get up, but the influencer timidly stood up and held her mobile phone.
"Ms. Nelson, you can’t be such a big bully! How could you do this to the victim's family?"
Selena looked at her the same way she looked at Flora. " Derek didn’t marry you, did he? Are you considered his
family then?"
The influencer's face froze slightly, and she looked embarrassed.
Derek was a shrewd man.
He was only willing to be with the influencer because she was well-behaved and sensible and would not go against
his wishes.
However, she was not qualified to be his wife because she would get a cut of his family property.
Thus, she had no choice but to get pregnant first to get Derek to marry her.
After finally getting news of his divorce, he suddenly became paralyzed.
No matter how she thought about it, the influencer felt like her efforts had gone to waste.
Flora did not want her daughter-in-law-to-be to be insulted, so she stepped forward to protect her.
"She’s pregnant with my grandson, so she’s definitely a family member. At least she's not like someone who can’t
conceive after being married for so many years. Derek is so unlucky to marry a barren woman! Fortunately, he
divorced you. Otherwise, it'll be a disgrace to our family!"
The influencer smiled smugly at Selena.
Selena smiled meaningfully and stepped forward.
The influencer took a step back in fright.
She was afraid that Selena would suddenly go crazy and hurt her.
Selena patted the woman's shoulder and said with a smile," Okay. Put away your phone and stop taking videos. Or
else..."
She paused. The influencer's face turned pale, and her shoulders began to tremble.
The influencer immediately put her phone behind her back.
She looked at Selena warily.
Selena smiled gently and said, "Let's talk in private, shall we?"
"I don’t want to."
"What are you afraid of? I won't hurt a pregnant woman.
Also, this is beneficial to you."
The influencer was deliberating her choices and hesitated.
Flora did not dare to let the influencer be alone with Selena.
"No, I don't trust you! What if you get jealous that she's pregnant and want to kill her baby?"
Selena raised her eyebrows. She looked at the influencer with a somewhat indifferent and meaningful smile.
"I have a friend who is a doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department. It just so happens that you're her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpatient. I remember that she mentioned you once, saying that your baby is healthy and strong. It seems to be two
months older than ordinary babies...”
The influencer’s face turned pale instantly.
The kind of panic and fear was from violence.
Instead, the information in Selena's words made her feel scared and flustered.
Flora and Selena's aunt could not hear Selena clearly. Flora thought that Selena was threatening the influencer and
became even angrier.
She stepped forward and pushed Selena away, protecting the influencer. She looked at the influencer warily.
"Don't be scared! Even if I die here, I won't let you or my grandson get hurt!"
The influencer's expression changed dramatically. Finally, she stood up under Selena's calm gaze.
This time, instead of pretending to be cowardly and weak, the influence stood up straight.
The influencer stroked her hair and maintained her expression.
"Okay. Let's talk in private."
She turned to persuade Flora. "It's okay. There are so many surveillance cameras here and so many witnesses. She
won’t dare to do anything to me."
Flora did not have anything to say.
Thus, the two women went to a small private room on the first floor.
Selena sat on the sofa casually, but the influencer nervously clenched her palms and looked at her.
"Ms. Nelson, what do you want to say?"
Selena smiled, looked at her, and said, "Don’t worry. I won’t expose you. Your child can inherit all of the Norton
family's properties, and no one will know your secret."
The influencer breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still wary.
"How did you find out?"
Selena raised her eyebrows. "Actually, my friend works at the DNA test center. Derek took your amniotic fluid to get
a DNA test done. He didn't trust you. It's a coincidence that I found out. You’re also lucky that he became paralyzed
before the test results came out.”
