Lothar never imagined that Selina would stand up for him like this.
This made him recall an event that occurred a long while ago.
At that time, he was still in junior high, being immature and fighting with thugs outside of school. He had asked his best friends for some help in the fighting but they'd all quickly refused and run away.
As for Selina, she was so willing to help him despite their brief friendship.
A wave of turbulent emotions arose in his eyes.
With a brief pause, he reported his location to her, his voice sounding terribly hoarse.
As everyone in the Whitlock family had gone for their lunch break, Selina seized the opportunity and set off with a large group of bodyguards.
She soon arrived at the place that Lothar had mentioned.
She was ready to get into a huge fight, but to her surprise, she found him there alone.
He was squatting on the pavement, looking pathetic and lonesome.
She called out to him, "Lothar!"
He looked up at the sound of her voice, and his eyes flashed with astonishment.
He noticed the large group of bodyguards standing behind her, all dressed in black.
"Where is the person who beat you up? I'm here to help you fight them off," she said haughtily.
She was standing under a tree. Warm sunlight filtered through the tiny branches and created a brilliant halo that radiated her entire being. Her bright eyes shone with the mellow rays of the sun. They looked delicate, like shiny pearls hovering in darkness. It was an undeniably beautiful scene.
Despite witnessing such a wonderful sight, Lothar felt as if he had been dropped into a pot of boiling water, and was now suffering unbearable pain.
She was so nice, to the point where she even brought so many people with her to protect him. Yet he had lied to her. And for that, he deserved to die.
He forced a smile.
It was a smile that looked more like a grimace. He replied, "They left."
She said, full of indignation, "Where did they go? I'll ask someone to go after them." "They've gone quite far. I'm not sure where they are now."
She couldn't help but poke his forehead at this reply. "Are you stupid? Couldn't you have stopped them? Didn't I say that I was going to fight them off with you?"
However, the rest of her sentence got stuck in her throat as she laid eyes on his bloody head.
She asked in a flurry of panic, "Are you okay?"
Lothar put his hand up to his head.
When he lowered his hand, he saw that it was now wet with fresh blood.
It wasn't a big deal. He should know, since he was the one who hurt himself.
He said nonchalantly, "It should be fine."
Selina's face had gone red with rage, "How dare those b*stards beat you up like this? The next time I see them, they won't get away with this."
His heart sank when he saw her angry flush.
He stood up and said, "I've decided to let this matter go. Besides, I don't think we can find them anymore. I will go to the hospital to bandage this up."
Selina also knew that her words didn't matter at this moment. The only thing that truly mattered now was to bring Lothar to the hospital.
She immediately replied him, "Then I'll go with
you."
At the same time, Matthew received a call from Selina whilst he was at Perry Group headquarters.
The corner of his mouth curled up, and a hint of pleasure flashed across his deep-set eyes.
He picked up the phone, "Selina."
There was no answer from the end of the line, just a flurry of noise.
Matthew's eyes slightly stilled at this.
Could it be that Selina had called him by accident?
Suddenly, a man's voice sounded through the phone.
"You slept with him. When did this happen?"
"Are you talking about Dylan? Not too long ago to be honest. We've actually done it a lot of times before."
"Why don't you describe it a bit?"
"It's very explicit. Are you sure you want to hear it?"
"He's very dominant, isn't he?"
"Did that even need to be said? If it weren't the case, I wouldn't have slept with him."
"Did it feel good?"
"What makes you think otherwise?"
