The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)

Chapter 2370 Reconciliation

The corners of Selena’s aunt’s mouth twitched as she said, “You’re right! This girl has been deviant

since she was a child. Once her grandfather passed away, no one could control her. You’ve seen how

she doesn’t want to get involved with her grandfather’s funeral. We would rather disown this ingrate!

She can really piss us off. She’s not my child, so we can’t discipline her. I’m sorry that you have to deal

with her since she married your son.”

Flora snorted coldly. “Back then, I only agreed to this marriage because she’s pretty. Who knew that

she would have an affair with someone else? What a disgrace to our family!”

The aunt laughed along with Flora and scolded Selena.

“Right! Fortunately, Derek is fine. Otherwise, we would feel bad. We’ll find Selena and get her to

apologize to Derek in person. Anyway, our families always had a good relationship, so we shouldn’t be

at odds just because of Selena, right?”

Flora’s face turned gloomy. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Selena and the lawyer

walking over.

When the aunt saw Selena, she restrained her smile and glared at Selena as if Selena had offended

her entire family.

“You still have the cheek to show up here?! Look at the mess you got into! How could you let us clean

up the mess for you?”

Selena casually glanced at her and said slowly and blankly, “You know who you came here for. I didn’t

ask you to come.”

The aunt was speechless. She did not expect the gentle and calm Selena to talk back to her in public.

Just as the aunt wanted to say something, Flora sneered and said, “Oh, look. You’ve finally revealed

your true face. You didn’t come here with good intentions.”

Flora glanced at Selena coldly and made up her mind that she would not let Selena get away with it no

matter how much Selena cried and begged her for mercy later.

She wanted to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson.

However, Selena stood there and glanced at the lawyer behind her.

The lawyer nodded, took a step forward, and handed over his business card.

“I’m Ms. Nelson’s lawyer. I heard from the nurse just now that Mr. Norton is awake. We’ll go in and visit

him.”

Flora sneered.

“You got a lawyer? Even so, there’s no way I’ll let you get away with running over my son! You even

dare to hire a lawyer, huh? I’ve been tolerant for not killing you!”

Selena stood there and looked at Flora indifferently.

“If he’s dead, you can kill me. Why should I be punished if he’s not dead?”

When Flora heard this, her face turned pale with anger.

“How dare you curse my son!”

Flora had always looked down on Selena. She felt that her beautiful and well-born daughter-in-law was

difficult to deal with. Selena would not listen to Flora or let Flora boss her around.

Sure enough, Selena never tried to please her mother-in-law and even ignored Derek after she married

him.

Later, Selena eloped with her bodyguard, bringing disgrace to the Norton family.

Selena stood there and looked at Flora calmly.

“It’s not a curse. It’s just the law. I contacted him before I came here, so you have no right to stop me.”

Selena glanced at the lawyer, who nodded and knocked on the door.

Flora was so angry that her face turned glum. She wanted to go over and slap Selena a few times, but

before she could touch Selena, the lawyer stopped her.

Steven looked at Flora with a warning gaze. Then, he smiled as he threatened her.

“The last person who slapped me because he lost a lawsuit a year ago is still in prison.”

Flora’s face turned pale with fright. She stopped rushing forward and took a few steps back.

After all these years, she could not change her impulsive habit. That was mainly because she was

used to people flattering her.

However, Flora dared not fight a lawyer and challenge the law.

Her petty bourgeois habits could not be changed.

The lawyer followed Selena and closed the door behind him.

Outside, Flora could only vent her anger on the other members of the Nelson family by yelling at them.

Steven shook his head, then smiled professionally and walked past Selena, who was standing there

indifferently.

Derek’s temper was not much better than his mother’s.

Derek swore at them relentlessly, showing that he was uncultured.

Steven was good-tempered. He just kept smiling and waited for Derek to finish his swearing fit before

they could get to the main topic.

Selena stood by the window and looked outside.

She did not want to take another look at Derek.

As for the apology, Selena did not mean it, and Derek did not need it.

Steven could tell from Derek’s and Selena’s attitudes that they were not suitable for each other.

No matter how many decades they stayed married, they would not reconcile.

Selena was a graceful woman.

She owned a bar and saw all kinds of people. Sometimes, she wore sexy dresses, and sometimes, she

looked aloof and unapproachable.

Selena and Derek were from two different worlds.

She was indifferent and detached from her feelings.

Thus, no matter how much Derek beat, scolded, or threatened to kill her, Selena would not give him a

second look.

Selena never cared about it.

Her marriage with Derek was like the moon that was reflected in a dirty pond. It was just a momentary

projection.

Steven understood what kind of person Derek was. He was a shameless snob who kept a mistress and

beat his wife.

Steven had always worked for powerful people who often took extra care of their appearances and

would not do such unseemly things.

When Derek first saw Selena, he was very angry. New chapter avаilable oո Drаmаnovels.com

After listening to Steven’s words and seeing Selena looking weak and listless, Derek eased his anger.

“Ms. Nelson won’t be able to pay the $30 million compensation you proposed in one lump sum. Could

you perhaps reduce the amount?”

“No! I almost died, so why should I go easy on her? I want every single penny!”

This involved his own interests, so the more Derek looked at Selena, the more he hated her.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Derek wanted to drive Selena into a corner.

Of course, Derek knew that Selena had no money. The Nelson family would not give her the money,

and her bar was not worth that much.

“What?”
