Chapter 2359 Scheme
Selena nodded. "I see. You can get back to work."
Orville Nelson only had one son, who had passed away.
Selena's so-called "uncle" was just a godson Orville Nelson adopted from a relative. He had a blood relationship with the Nelson family, so Orville Nelson gave him everything without hesitation.
Selena was asked to marry Derek in exchange for the chance to save the Nelson family.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it was a chance for her “uncle”.
She felt aggrieved, unreconciled, and angry before.
Selena was Orville’s granddaughter, but she could not compare to his "godson".
She thought that her grandfather was so patriarchal to the point of confusion.
Selena longed for her grandfather to realize his mistake and apologize to her, so they could make up and forget about the past.
However, since she knew about her lineage, she knew that such a day would never come.
Selena was evidence of her biological mother's adultery. She was a shame to the entire Nelson family, so how could Orville Nelson hand over the Nelson family to Selena?
To Orville, Selena was worse than her "uncle". Selena did not sleep well for several days in a row, so her complexion was dull. She came down with a bleary look and an indifferent attitude. She went down a few flights of stairs and stood three steps away from the ground to look at her “uncle”. The corner of her mouth twitched indifferently.
"Why are you looking for me?”
"You've been back in Mediania for so long, yet you haven't gone home to see your grandfather once. Do you still think of us as your family?"
As soon as her uncle went forward, he began to criticize her with a livid face.
Selena stood there. Her eyes flickered slightly, but she did not speak. Her uncle thought she was guilty, so he scolded her relentlessly.
“Look at you now. You don't come back home, and you don't care that your husband is having an affair. His illegitimate child is about to be born, yet you still have the cheek to stand here! You're really something! If I were you, I'd feel so embarrassed that I wished I died abroad. How can you endure the humiliation and come back? You're just embarrassing the Nelson family. If Derek has an illegitimate child, will he still respect our family?"
Her uncle’s face was flushed from yelling. It was as if he had used all his strength to scold her.
Selena stood there with a calm expression and looked at him indifferently.
Her eyes were hollow, and she could not seem to hear anything coming out of his mouth.
Perhaps she heard everything, but she did not take it to heart. She did not feel heartbroken anymore.
The Nelson family could no longer hurt her.
Eric told her this fact that made everything she knew in the past void. She had also regained her courage.
The Nelson family raised her for eighteen years and sold her off in exchange for wealth and glory.
Selena owed them nothing.
There was no need to expect any love and care from them.
She was truly alone in this world.
Even though her existence was unseemly, she had human rights, and her life was equally precious.
She should not be used as a commodity or as their punching bag.
The waiter on the side could not bear it anymore and said," Are you here to make trouble? If you continue to swear like this, we'll call the police whether you’re our boss's relative or friend!"
Selena's uncle was taken aback for a moment and suddenly became furious.
Just as he was about to argue with the waiter, Selena calmly said, “Just get to the point. I'm not here to listen to your criticism."
Her uncle's face was red from anger.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down, not forgetting the purpose of his visit.
"Dad is hospitalized, and he wants to see you one last time. He called you before, but you never went home, so he asked me to come to you in person."
Her uncle sounded distraught as if his biological father was about to die.
Selena's eyes were in a daze for a moment, and the corners of her lips curled into a cold arc.
"So, are you going or not? If you don’t want to go, I'll get someone to tie you up and bring you there!"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
I liked this book and wanted to read it. As I have moved into the chapters, I have found that it is unreadable due to typographical errors, including sentences that are incomplete, complete gibberish, missing elements. This is not just some misspelled words. It is actually unreadable. If you decide to fix this, let me know and I will read it....
