Selena stood there indifferently. Her eyes were cold and detached.
“In the past, when I reported you to the police because you beat me, didn’t you brush it off by saying we’re a married couple? What? Are you unwilling to change roles this time?”
Selena spoke sarcastically and indifferently.
The abuse she endured in the past was vivid in her mind.
She went to the police for help and hired a lawyer. However, they only told her that it was a family conflict, so they should talk about it and resolve it themselves.
In the end, Derek dismissed everyone by saying it was a family matter.
Now that he was the victim this time, he wanted to extort her.
Derek raised his eyebrows and accused her. His face was distorted from anger.
“You deserve the beating! I didn’t beat you to death anyway! Shouldn’t you be thanking me for keeping you alive?”
Seeing that the situation was about to go out of control, Steven quickly interrupted them.
“You’re legally married, so Ms. Nelson is not obligated to pay so much compensation. Even if you make a big fuss, the most she would have to give is $10,000 for mental trauma. Mediation is the priority. After all, you’re husband and wife, so you’ll still have to get along in the future...”
“Bullsh*t!”
Derek smashed a cup.
“To hell with mediation! I want a divorce! Whoever wants this stupid b*tch can have her! I don’t want her anymore! Ever since this b*tch got married to me, I keep having bad luck! I want a divorce, and I’ll make her pay!”
Derek could not hold back his emotions and cursed hysterically.
Steven’s eyes flickered. He glanced at Selena.
“Ms. Nelson, do you agree to the divorce? You may not get any benefits in the event of a divorce.”
Selena glanced at Derek lightly and pursed her lips.
“I disagree.”
She raised her chin slightly and looked arrogant.
“I don’t want a divorce, and I want all of our joint property.”
After that, she lifted her foot and walked toward the door.
Derek was furious.
“You must agree to the divorce! How dare you set your eyes on my property?! B*tch, don’t even think about getting a penny from me!”
Selena listened to what he said and felt that Derek finally said something she liked to hear.
However, she did not show her surprise.
The lawyer said that it was a good opportunity for divorce. If she missed this chance, she would have to pay far more than $30 million if she wanted to get a divorce later.
Thus, she readily agreed even though she might not get a penny from Derek.
Even if she had to get into debt, she wanted to be free of this filthy marriage.
She pushed the door open and went out.
The Nelson family had already left.
Flora stood there talking to an influencer with a great figure and a pretty face.
The influencer’s belly was protruding slightly. It looked as if she was several months pregnant.
The influencer held her waist and was too lazy to move.
Flora carefully supported the influencer as if she was holding a treasure.
“Come, sit here. If Derek knows that you’re here, he must be very happy. Has my grandson been obedient recently?”
The influencer smiled. “The baby is always kicking me!”
When Flora heard this, she became even happier.
“It must be a boy!”
Selena’s high heels clicked on the ground.
Flora’s laughter stopped abruptly.
The influencer next to Flora suppressed her smile and raised her eyebrows.
“Is this Ms. Nelson?”
Flora glanced at Selena with disdain and snorted coldly.
“She’s a hen that can’t lay eggs. How can she compare to you? If you give birth to this child, everything will be yours in the future.”
The influencer glanced at Selena cautiously, sighed, and stroked her belly. She felt a little regretful.
“Speaking of which, my child will still have to call Ms. Nelson ‘mom’ when he’s born.”
Selena glanced at her calmly and smiled.
“No one knows if it’ll be born yet, and I have no interest in raising someone else’s child.”
