After Selina woke up the next day, Manfred had already gone out.
After lying in bed for a while, Selina got up and went out to buy goods.
When she walked out, she saw Lindsay standing at the door. Selina was startled for a moment. She directly turned around to avoid bumping into her.
Unexpectedly, Lindsay directly chased after her.
“Selina, I have something to tell you.”
Her attitude became much better, Selina raised her eyebrows and looked back at her, “I think the members of the Jones family have already told you what is my thought. I don’t seem to have anything to talk about with you!”
Hearing this, Lindsay could not help but become humble.
She was just a rural woman who thought that her son was already very powerful. However, she did not expect that Manfred was much more powerful than her son.
When she thought of the matter that her son was suffering in jail, she could no longer be bullish.
“I know, I know all about it. I’m not here to get you in trouble this time. I’m here to tell you that we agree to divorce you. You tell Manfred and ask him to let go of Horace!”
“You guys are willing to divorce me?”
“True, I promise. As soon as Horace comes out of the jail, we’ll divorce you immediately!”
Lindsay was still quite influential in the Keith family. Since she had agreed to it, Horace should have no choice but to give up.
However, Selina still did not quite trust them, especially because Horace’s previous attitude of talking back on his words. She pondered for a moment before saying, “You let him sign the divorce agreement first, then I’ll ask Manfred to let him out.”
“Selina!” Lindsay’s face looked distasteful but for the sake of her son, she contained herself.
“I beg you. Horace has never experienced such difficulty since he was a child. Please take pity on me who is elderly!”
Selina frowned. She had been in the Keith family for three years. In the past, she was kind to Lindsay every day and she served her food and drinks. But, Lindsay had never treated her nicely.
It was unexpected that when she wanted to divorce Lindsay’s son, Lindsay came to beg her.
This practice of the world…
“No!”
Selina eventually shook her head. There were too many changes in this world so she no longer wanted to be dominated anymore, “If you’re so free, you should go and persuade Horace to sign the divorce agreement!”
Finished speaking, Selina turned around to leave.
Lindsay was overwhelmed with a fury so she chased after Selina, wanting to hit her. Selina raised her head and looked straight at Lindsay, “Look at where are you at now and consider whether you should do it or not.”
Lindsay gritted her teeth, “Isn’t it just Manfred, what can he do even if I really hit you?”
“Then you try to hit me! See what will happen next.”
Lindsay finally still did not dare to hit her as even Marshall, Selina’s biological father, also could not escape. Her hand stopped in the air for a while and she finally withdrew it.
Dejected, she ran away.
Selina then turned around to go to the supermarket. Unexpectedly, after turning around, she saw that Manfred was opposite her and she did not know when he appeared.
He was wholeheartedly gazing at her and his eyes were full of smiles, “A fox is masquerading as a tiger!”
Selina was a little embarrassed, “I…I don’t mean to scare others using your name! I’m sorry.”
Manfred did not deny it, “It’s okay, you’re obviously a very cute little fox, isn’t it?”
Selina was even more embarrassed and she quickly changed the subject, “Why are you back?”
“If I don’t come back, how can I see a little fox showing its teeth and claws?”
Selina pursed her lips, “oh.”
“Well! I’ve just brought someone for you.” After saying that, he turned sideways. Behind him, Sharon was standing there and looking at them.
Selina frowned, “Why is she here?”
“Selina!” After being scared last night, Sharon did not dare to sleep and she did not have the appetite to eat. It was just one night but her face looked as bad as if she had aged ten years.
With two dark circles below her eyes, she ran over, nodded and bowed to Selina, “Selina, I was wrong. I shouldn’t talk all those words to you yesterday. It was all my fault, don’t be angry.”
Selina was stunned, “Mr. Gordon…”
“You acted like that yesterday was because of her, right?” Manfred spoke with a low and deep tone, “She’s already in front of you now, you can do whatever you want to do to her.”
Selina shook her head and her heart sank.
Manfred was indeed Manfred. His style of doing things was so extraordinary. She twitched her lips, “I’ll go back first.”
“Selina!” Sharon hurriedly went after her but she was stopped by Osborn who was beside Manfred, “You can’t go over.”
“Mr. Gordon!” Sharon begged Manfred again, “I’ve already apologized to my elder sister. As you can see, she’s the one who doesn’t want to give me the chance.”
“Get lost!” Manfred impatiently roared.
Sharon was only then apparently pardoned so she left in a huff.
Osborn looked in the direction where Selina left and said, “Mr. Gordon, should I go after Ms. Jones?”
“No need!” Manfred’s face also looked slightly bad, “Call Lawrence to come over.”
…
In YES Club half an hour later.
As soon as Lawrence entered, he saw Manfred leaning on the sofa in the middle with a cold face. All the beauties in the club who came in to entertain Manfred stayed far away from him and were looking at him with trepidation.
Lawrence waved his hand, “All go out.”
Hearing this, the beauties ran out as if they were pardoned.
Lawrence poured himself a glass of wine and smiled, “What’s wrong? You finally manage to fall in love with someone but you surprisingly have the time to find me to drink? Is it that you guys are not having a good experience while doing that?”
“Shut up!”
“Oh!” Lawrence lifted his glass and drank all the wine. After thinking for a while, he spoke in a gossipy manner, “Your little woman has infuriated you?”
This time, Manfred’s face darkened even more.
“Oh, this expression!” Lawrence suddenly said, “Even I also can’t stand it, let alone your little woman. Can’t you be gentler? You always say something that involves hitting and killing someone. Are you trying to scare people to death!”
Manfred faintly lit a cigarette. Scare people to death?
So, Selina behaved in that way was not because of Sharon’s provocation, but because she found him scary?
Manfred twitched his lips. He grew up in many dangerous situations since he was young. If he did not use any means, how was he able to survive until now?
“It looks like what I say is right!” Lawrence smiled and said, “Women are meant to be loved, they’re not your enemies! Especially that gorgeous little woman in your house, if you treat her gently, she’ll definitely take the bait.”
Manfred did not bother him. He directly pressed out the cigarette and stood up.
Lawrence was stunned, “Where are you going?”
“Home!”
“Yikes!” Lawrence was immensely dumbfounded, “Didn’t you once say that a person like you can’t have a home? You surprisingly say you’re going home now? And you even say it so smoothly?”
This time, what responded to Lawrence was a pillow that Manfred casually threw over.
Manfred’s car moved swiftly on the road. When Manfred returned home, Selina was still sitting on the sofa, dazed. When she saw him come back, she got up, “I’ll go to cook now.”
The next second, however, Manfred pulled her hand.
“Is it that you think I’m brutal?”
Selina froze for a while and shook her head. Thinking about what she had done today, she also felt that she was a bit melodramatic.
“I’m sorry, I actually don’t have the right to make you change your behaviour. And, the reason you do all those is for my own good. This is my fault this time, I won’t do this again.”
Behind her, Manfred embraced her waist.
“No, you have the right.”
