Baby Alliance: Helping Daddy Get A Rich Mommy novel Chapter 148

“Sure, Dad. All I want are my mother’s jade bracelets. I’ll help you as long as you give them back to me.”

There was a shift in Roland’s countenance upon hearing her mention the bracelets. “Why must you insist on bringing them up? They’re worth nothing anyway. Besides, you aren’t even in desperate need of money.”

Staring at him seriously, Selena asked, “Do you only ever care about money?” Her question rendered him speechless.

“I already asked for them when I last saw you. I don’t care even if they’re worth nothing. I want them because they belonged to my mother. Since you agreed to help me find them, I’ll help you as soon as I get them back.” After repeating herself, Selena turned away to continue going through her documents.

Still in his seat, Roland dared not make a fuss despite her attitude, as the fact that he threw a tantrum last time already put him in a disadvantage. “Alright, I’ll search for them back in the house, but you can’t blame me if I can’t find them, since it has been a while since anybody saw them, okay? I know you wouldn’t want to see the company your mother established be ruined just like this, right?”

“Just go find them.”

With a nod, Roland left the office.

On the other hand, Linda heard every single word of their exchange while she was outside. She started to criticize Roland as soon as she reentered the room. “He only ever thinks of you when he’s in a tight spot. Back then, he was so ready to disown you! President Yard, are you taking pity on him? Are you really going to help him?”

Selena stopped writing before answering her, “Back then, I helped run the company, and it was set up by my parents, so I don’t want to see it go bankrupt. However, nor am I going to make it easy for him.”

Hearing that, Linda pouted, but she remained silent, knowing that Selena had everything in control. At that moment, Selena’s phone beeped with an incoming message. She checked her phone out of reflex, only to find out that it was a junk message.

Linda witnessed her reactions. “President Yard, are you waiting for someone’s message?”

Quickly realizing she was acting out of character, Selena’s face turned a scarlet hue. “No, I’m not.”
