âIn reality, sheâll only be feigning death, I arranged for someone to deliver her a drug that suppresses vital signs.
After ingesting it, sheâll appear lifeless, allowing us to replace her body.
â
Selina sighed in relief âThatâs great.
Thank you, Aldrich.
â
He leaned in to kiss her earlobe.
âWill you tell me now why you had Rosalynnâs pendant stolen?â
With a teasing smile, Selina pushed him away.
âThatâs my secret.
Get back to work.
I need to visit Brianâs mother.
â
She had heard from Deanna that Noemi was hospitalized due to something Rosalynn had done, and she wanted to investigate.
As she made to stand, Aldrichâs hand shot out to pull her back down.
His voice was icy as he said, âWhatâs your plan? Use me and then discard me? Are you still pining for Brian? Listen, Selina, all his wealth will be mine one day!â
Would Aldrich inherit all of Brianâs wealth in the future?
Selinaâs heart skipped a beat.
Aldrichâs eyes had the unmistakable glint of ambition,
She watched him for a while before asking tentatively take over Brianâs position as the head of Hughes Group?â âDo you want to
Aldrich raised a hand and leisurely ran his fingers through Selinaâs hair, smoothing over the tangled tresses.
âStay with me.
I will make you the happiest woman in the world
His smile was soft, but his gentleness sent a slight shiver through her.
Selina put on a practiced smile and said, âThis is just a one-night stand.
Itâs physical-nothing more, nothing less.
Besides, Iâm sure there are plenty of women who would line up for a chance to be with you, even ones who are prettier or more interesting.
â
The ingenuity of her sweet smile didnât escape Aldrichâs sharp eyes, but he said nothing.
Instead, he took out his phone and played a video.
It was of the two of them having sex.
Selinaâs eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she watched herself on the screen, her wanton moans coming out of the video.
âWhat is wrong with you? Why the hell did you record this? Delete it right now!â Selina screamed, grabbing the phone from his hand and deleting the damning footage.
Aldrich let her, a sinister smile curving on his lips.
âGo ahead and delete it.
But did you think I wouldnât have a backup, Selina?â he asked.
Selinaâs face darkened.
âWhere is it? Delete the video!â Aldrich playfully twirled a strand of her hair, âHow could I? Your voice is so sweet.
If youâre not going to stay with me, Iâll at least keep it as a souvenir.
