Pierre took a glance at Joaquin. “Why aren’t you in bed yet?!” he growled. Seeing that, Selena hastily gave Joaquin a look as she mouthed the words, ‘Go to bed’.
“Goodnight.” Joaquin then tottered up the stairs and left Selena and Pierre alone in the living hall. After that, Selena walked up to Pierre with an overly wide grin on her face. “You witnessed the grand ending, right? The kids belong to the both of us now. Are you happy?”
Immediately, Pierre threw her a cold glare that sent chills down her spine. Goosebumps surfaced on her skin as she shuddered a little. “You knew about this all along. Why didn’t you tell me about it?” Pierre asked.
“I-I just thought that you would have simply gotten rid of her if I told you about it. I didn’t want to let her off the hook so easily, so I thought that I would destroy her only when she got to the peak of her life!” Selena still had the same flattering smile on her face as she spoke.
“Is that why you thought it was okay to give her the engagement ring I gave you?” he asked.
“I got it back, didn’t I?” With that, Selena lifted her hand and waved it around to show the ring on her finger. “I got it back. I took it away from her.” The ring hadn’t been the perfect size for Selena, and she waved her hand a little too aggressively right then, so the ring slipped out of her finger and was hurled onto the ground. Embarrassed, she hurriedly picked the ring up. “It's… It’s a little large…”
“You saw what Meredith was doing to me that night. Why didn’t you stop her? Weren’t you afraid that something would actually happen between the two of us?!” This was the one thing that troubled Pierre the most. Doesn’t she care if I have slept with some other woman?
“I-I-I-I…” Selena had actually been reluctant to leave them during the incident. That time, she had lingered around behind the door for a while just to ensure that Pierre had completely passed out before she started the recording and left. “I was by the entrance the entire time. If something truly happened, I would have rushed into the room.”
When Pierre heard that, he sneered. “Did you spend the whole night out there?”
