Selinaâs expression turned stormy, her eyes narrowing as she demanded, âAldrich, what do you think youâre doing? Let me out!â
Aldrich cornered her against the wall and grabbed her chin.
âSelina, why are you embarrassing yourself here?â
Selina forcefully removed his hand and angrily said, âThatâs none of your concern.
â
Aldrichâs expression grew gloomier.
He seized her wrists, pinning them to the wall.
âMind how you speak!â
Selinaâs breath was rapid as she retorted, âWhat do you expect me to say? You are getting engaged, right? Then what I do has nothing to do with you!â
Aldrich narrowed his eyes.
âYou knew about my engagement? So, are you here looking for your new boyfriend?â
Selina scoffed as she said, âYes, I need to secure a strong supporter, donât I?â
A chill crossed Aldrichâs face.
âYou are looking for another supporter? Selina, havenât you remembered the leverage I hold over you?â
Upon hearing this, Selina burst into anger and exclaimed, âAldrich, do you expect me to be your secret lover? Donât go too far!â
Aldrichâs sneer deepened.
âSelina, we are not fools.
Didnât you promise to assist me in handling Brian and securing power for me?
You planned to stabilize me first and then look for a chance to marry Brian.
Isnât that true?â
Aldrich paused for a while and continued, âAnd now that Brian and Rosalynn have a solid relationship, you want to become my woman?
Selina, do you take me for a fool? Given your current position, you can only be my secret lover.
â
He made it crystal clear with a scornful expression on his face.
Selina felt ashamed and embarrassed.
Recalling all the unfairness sheâd endured lately, she lifted her leg and gave Aldrichâs sensitive area a swift knee.
Aldrich quickly moved his leg back, but Selina still managed to knee him.
The pain caused his expression to turn somber.
âSelina, youâre in trouble now.
Do you still believe youâre an untouchable dancing goddess? Donât think too highly of yourself!â
