Dominic and Mrs. Walson stared straight at the woman walking out of the elevator, almost forgetting to breathe for a moment.
Selena walked past them without looking, holding her skirt, and was about to leave the hotel when Mrs. Walson suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly called out, "Selena, wait!"
As she spoke, she pulled the stunned Dominic to catch up.
Selena heard the voice, paused slightly, turned slightly, and saw the Walson family approaching.
She looked at Mrs. Walson with a half-smile.
She couldn't understand how such a capable and intelligent woman like Mrs. Walson had given birth to Dominic and Angie, who were both more trouble than they were worth.
She stood straight, glanced at the clock on the wall, and said coldly, "Mrs. Walson, I'll give you ten minutes."
The meaning was clear. If she couldn't come up with something convincing within ten minutes, there was nothing else to discuss.
Mrs. Walson's face changed slightly.
She must have found out!
She released Dominic, straightened her shawl on her shoulder, and calmed herself down, looking Selena in the eye. "Selena, I won't beat around the bush. What are your conditions? What do you want in order to spare Angie?"
The person behind Leah could at most shut up the Watts family.
But could she make the Riddle family from the capital, Selena behind Olympus Group, and that mysterious boyfriend shut up?
So the key to this whole thing was still with Selena.
If Selena wanted to spare Angie, then Angie could still save face.
If Selena wanted Angie to be ruined, then Angie wouldn't be able to escape.
Mrs. Walson was furious, but she dared not leave the negotiation with Selena to Leah. At this critical juncture, who knows what other tricks that woman would come up with?
Angie and the Walson family couldn't afford to bet.
So she could only take matters into her own hands and go to Selena herself.
Selena looked at Mrs. Walson with cold eyes. "Mrs. Walson, you must have watched the video from last night. You know what your son, daughter, and daughter-in-law did in it, right?"
Mrs. Walson's face became even more unpleasant as she glanced at Selena, who was staring at her, and Dominic, who was still a bit dazed. "Angie is in the hospital and can't come over. As soon as she wakes up, I will bring her here to apologize to you."
"Dominic is here now. Whatever you want him to do, I have no objection."
Anyway, Selena wouldn't ask for Dominic's life.
Dominic had been brainwashed too much by Leah over the years and had been played around by that woman. It was time for him to learn a lesson.
Dominic finally came to his senses and was a bit dissatisfied. "Mom--"
Mrs. Walson raised her hand and slapped him hard. "Shut up! Whatever Selena asks you to do, you do it immediately. If you dare to have any opinion, you will immediately get out of the Walson family!"
Dominic's face turned pale, but Mrs. Walson had been accumulating power for a long time, and with what had happened to Angie, she was on the verge of rage. Dominic didn't dare to rebel.
Selena laughed unabashedly.
From the first day she was reborn and became Selena, she knew that Mrs. Walson was definitely a not figure to be reckoned with.
This woman, looking dignified and elegant, her methods were not something like Leah's petty schemes and tricks could compare with.
Just like back then, she urged Dominic to get a marriage license with Selena, cheated her way to get twenty percent of the shares, and then ditched Selena...
She was not not scheming, she just schemed bigger and deeper than anyone else.
Selena looked down on Dominic and sneered, "Mrs. Walson, you are such a smart and decisive person, how come your children are so incompetent? If Dominic and Angie had half the magnanimity and scheming of you, I'm afraid the head of the Walson family would have been held by the first branch. And what about Talon..."
Mr. Walson was poked at a sore spot, but she didn't show it on her face. "Dominic has flaws, but Selena, you cannot deny that he was the only one who sincerely treated you well when you were in your hardest times."
"He did something wrong, but he is not a completely heartless person. As for you..." Mrs. Walson looked at Selena with some meaning. "He also used his sincerity."
Dominic was scum, but as a mother, how could Mrs. Walson not see who he really loved in his heart?
Selena raised an eyebrow, her eyes filled with even more coldness.
Mrs. Walson's actions were clearly motivated by a desire to repay a favor.
And the favors she mentioned were all real.
If it were the real Selena, she might really have stopped pursuing revenge to repay those favors.
But the only thing Mrs. Walson got wrong was that the real Selena had long been killed by Dominic.
Dominic had no immunity in her eyes.
Selena said coldly, "If your want to settle like this, then let's settle this score properly. It's true that Dominic cared for me and helped me during my childhood, and I don't deny that, but... "
She looked at Mrs. Walson mockingly, "Just because of that little bit of kindness, I spent more than a decade chasing after him like a moth to a flame, liking him in every way, treating him as my only lifeline. No matter how he humiliated, trampled on, or hurt me, I never blamed him... Aren't these enough to repay his little favor?"
Mrs. Walson suddenly choked up.
Selena sneered, her eyes full of coldness. "As for sincerity... It's even more ridiculous. Dominic has long forgotten the little bit he did for me during his childhood. Does he have the right to compare his dedication with mine during those more than ten years chasing after him?"
"When it comes to dedication to Dominic, even you, his biological mother, can't compare to the old me!"
"So, Mrs. Walson, put away your scheme to repay a favor. Remember, from start to finish, he was the one who did wrong. Even if we disregard those dirty schemes and conspiracies, when it comes to deep feelings, even if Dominic is dead, he still owes me something!"
Dominic's face turned pale.
He looked at Selena and never thought that one day their relationship would be calculated in such a ridiculous way.
This was too absurd!
Too ridiculous!
"Mom!" Dominic could no longer tolerate the extremely embarrassing atmosphere and roared, "If Selena is angry and dissatisfied, let her vent it on me. Don't say things like this again!"
He had trampled on Selena's feelings for him time and time again and would never allow anyone to trample on the memories of his and Selena's childhood.
That was the only pure thing left between him and Selena.
Mrs. Walson looked coldly at him and said, "Now you defend her. What did you do before?"
If Dominic had treated Selena better before, how could she not have found anything to say at this moment and been turned around by Selena?

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
