Selena’s voice was extremely calm.
However, it made the influencer feel a chill in her heart.
The influencer felt cold and shivered.
Her legs were weak, so much so that she could not even stand.
She supported her belly and slowly sat down on the sofa not far from her.
She could not believe that Derek was suspicious of her.
Her secret was almost exposed.
The influencer knew Derek’s character. He was irritable, sinister, and liked to beat women.
If Derek saw the DNA test results and found out that her baby was not his, he might kick her belly and kill the baby.
The influencer broke out in a cold sweat in just a few seconds.
She shuddered.
The light in the private room was not dim, and it made Selena look cold and aloof.
Her expression was indifferent and calm as if she was in control of everything.
Selena seemed to know that she was secretly taking videos with her phone just now.
After a long time, the influencer gradually calmed down.
However, her complexion did not improve.
She looked embarrassed as she opened her mouth.
“What do you want?”
The situation suddenly reversed because Selena had something on her.
If this matter got out, Flora would not be so polite to her anymore.
The influencer would not get any money from Derek’s inheritance, and she would have to find other ways to earn money to support her child.
She did not want to live a life of hardship.
The influencer bit her lip and trembled as she looked at Selena.
Selena smiled and shrugged.
“It’s very simple. If you deal with Flora and tell her not to come here again, I promise I’ll take your secret to the grave.”
The influencer frowned and deliberated.
“But Flora really wants the money. Derek’s company can’t be sold on such short notice...”
The corners of Selena’s mouth twitched.
“There’s no need to sell it. Once you give birth to the baby, the company will naturally be yours. Being a boss is much better than being an influencer, don’t you think? As for the money...”
Selena looked up at her with a playful smile.
“There’s money in Derek’s account. You can take it out and just say that I paid for it. No one knows how much is in his account anyway.”
The influencer looked up at Selena in surprise and thought, ‘Is she still the cowardly and incompetent ex-wife that Derek mentioned? The one who didn’t know how to fight back when he beat her?’
In the beginning, the influencer spent a lot of energy inquiring about Selena.
She found out that Selena was docile and easily deceived. She would not resist or take any risks.
Selena was not favored by the Nortons, nor was she welcomed by her own family. She even eloped with a bodyguard.
Thus, the influencer felt that Selena was easy to deal with.
Who knew that Selena was actually a tiger disguised as a cat?
Selena smiled. “I don’t have any money. If you guys insist on making me pay, I can only pay Flora, and none of it will go to you. I don’t think you’d want to live on the streets now, do you?”
The influencer could feel her teeth chattering.
She looked at Selena and clenched her fists tightly.
“Then how can I believe that you won’t tell anyone about this?”
Selena replied, “There’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me. In that case, just forget it. Everyone can die together.”
After that, she stood up and walked out.
The influencer quickly grabbed Selena’s clothes to stop her.
“Please don’t go! I didn’t want to do this either. Derek is infertile, but I didn’t dare to tell him. I had no choice but to conceive someone else’s child. Please don’t tell anyone. I’ll help you solve your problem.”
Selena curled her lips.
“It’s a deal, then. Also, delete that video on your phone. If I see it anywhere, our agreement will be voided immediately.”
The aunt was mad at Selena.
She glared at Selena, turned around, and left.
The manager and the waiter, who had been watching them from a distance, came over and breathed a sigh of relief:
“Boss, I thought you guys would get into a fight. This happened last time. Why did they leave so easily this time?”
“Yeah, will they come again tomorrow?”
They could not operate the bar well these days.
Selena smiled. “They won’t come again. Get ready for opening. All drinks tonight will be 50% off!”
“50% off?”
Selena nodded and stretched out her index finger to her lips.
“But don’t spread the word. We’ll just give whoever shows up a discount. After all, I don’t want to lose too much!”
The manager and the others immediately started preparing.
Today was their first vibrant day after opening.
Selena knew that this was just the beginning.
It was a well-known fact that Chatty was not book smart even though she was a clever kid.
Chatty was now in primary school, and she was often ranked the last few in class.
Thus, they had to start disciplining her.
Nicole and Clayton did not take it seriously at first.
It was not until Chatty’s teacher frequently called them that they started feeling guilty and pressured to do better.
Thus, they brought Chatty and Fischer back from the Stanton Mansion.
French and Russian were difficult to pick up.
Nicole was more familiar with French, so she tutored Chatty.
On the other hand, Clayton taught her Russian.
Nicole thought of using entertainment to teach the kids, so she thought of an unconventional way and brought Chatty and Fischer to Selena’s bar.
