Manfred did not answer him. Just then, somebody else called him, so he simply hung up the phone.
The call was from Osborn. He called to report the repair progress, “It was a real disaster. Ms. Jones would definitely have been injured if the car was a little bit closer.”
Hearing that, Manfred put on a serious look, “I need you to do something for me.”
After hanging up the phone, Manfred leaned back in his chair. After sitting quietly for a while, he stood up and stubbed out his cigarette before returning to his room.
Selina was still up. She was looking at a blueprint on her laptop with great interest.
Manfred frowned and walked over to snatch the laptop from her hands.
“It’s time for bed.”
“I’m not sleepy yet.”
Selina protested. She had just begun to look at the case for a short while, “Can I look at it for another five minutes? Just five more minutes!”
“No way!” The man was resolute and decisive. It was always difficult to change anything he had decided.
Selina felt upset, “Well, it seems like I’m going to be up all night tonight.”
“Up all night?” The Adam’s apple of the man moved as he stared closely at her and said in a low voice, “Then we can do something else!”
Before Selina could protest, the man had already stopped her from uttering another word.
Tonight, he was doing it in a different way. He was not as patient as before, but he was also not as domineering as he was at the beginning. His every thrust was so deep and powerful, as if he wanted to make her a part of his body.
In the end, Selina did not even know when she fell asleep.
Seeing that Selina beneath him had finally fallen asleep, Manfred finished off as soon as possible and carried Selina to the bathroom.
He put warm water in the bathtub, got in the tub with her in his embrace and helped her clean up carefully. Manfred couldn’t help but frown when he touched Selina’s collarbones which had become more and more protruding.
Ever since Selina left the Keith family, she had always acted like it was no big deal on the surface, but he knew that she really wanted to prove herself.
She wanted to make some achievements and let the Jones family see that she had made the right choice.
He lowered his head to kiss her collarbones before he cleaned her up and carried her back to bed.
The next day, Manfred was already not there when Selina woke up. Selina felt refreshed and realized that Manfred had helped her clean herself up. She couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
After staying in bed for a while, she saw that it was almost time, so she washed up and went downstairs.
Watson had already made breakfast. As Selina was eating, she took a newspaper beside her to read. She actually didn’t like reading newspapers over breakfast in the past, but because Manfred always did that, she also picked up the habit.
She glanced at the entertainment section first. It was always about celebrities’ and wealthy businessmen’s scandals, so she was not so interested. Just as she was about to put it down, she saw a familiar name.
Bonnie Chapman?
Selina took a sip of milk and read carefully.
With an enlarged picture, the report talked about Bonnie looking for fun at a nightclub, seducing men with her boobs … and even having sex in a car. Selina clicked her tongue. This was so astounding!
Selina’s jaw dropped as she read it. This was much more eye-catching than the news of those starlets.
At the same time, at the Gordon Mansion.
Chester also read that newspaper, but he only commented with one word: “sinful”. And then he threw the newspaper at Jayden and went straight upstairs.
Jayden picked it up to have a look, and his face immediately turned pale.
“Where’s Bonnie?”
Evelyn went blank, “Maybe she’s not up yet. She came back late last night.”
“Tell her to come downstairs!!!” Jayden gritted his teeth.
Only then did Evelyn realize that something was wrong and went upstairs in a hurry. Not long after, Bonnie, who was still bleary-eyed, walked downstairs and said, “Dad, what happened?”
“You slut, you’ve brought great shame on the Gordon family!”
Bonnie still didn’t understand, “I just had a few drinks at a bar with my friends. I didn’t do anything!”
“Then what is this?” Jayden threw the newspaper in his hand at her.
Bonnie was dumbfounded, “Dad, believe me. This is not the truth. Manfred is the only man I like. How would I do something like this?”
“Aren’t these photos real? Even if you didn’t really do these things, what you’re doing in these photos is already damaging! Your uncle Chester has already known about this. If I don’t punish you, then he will be the first to teach you a lesson!”
“Dad!” Bonnie found it hard to vindicate herself, “This had revenge stamped all over it. Right! This is an act of revenge. It’s Selina. It must be her!”
“Selina?” Jayden frowned.
“She is really an evil woman. She did this to me just because I hit her car with my car yesterday.” Bonnie spoke without thinking.
Jayden’s face darkened as he said, “What did you say?”
Realizing that she had said too much, Bonnie immediately covered her mouth.
“Tell me everything. Did you do something to Selina again?” Jayden pounded the table and stood up, “Didn’t I warn you already? Carl wants to get a job in the Far Eastern Group, and this is a critical moment. Even your uncle Chester has acquiesced her for the time being. Why did you provoke her?”
Bonnie felt wronged, “I … I … She’s not injured at all. It’s just that her car has broken down. I’ll compensate her with a new car. It’s just a POLO …”
“Is it really that easy? You still don’t know what you’ve done wrong! Does Selina have the ability to do all this? She’s just an ordinary person. Can she control the press?”
Bonnie’s face instantly turned deathly pale, “You mean … Manfred?”
Jayden’s look became even more sullen. “No, you must apologize to Selina immediately.”
“No way!” Bonnie couldn’t accept that at all, “She’s fine. Why should I go apologize to her?”
“I’m telling you to!” Jayden didn’t even bother to talk to her any longer, “If you don’t go, you can just pack your things and get out of here! And you won’t be a Gordon from now on!”
Bonnie was stunned. She didn’t expect that Jayden would even think of kicking her out. However, she could not leave home.
“Alright, I will go!” Bonnie gritted her teeth and snorted, and then she rushed out.
Evelyn wanted to call Bonnie back, but Jayden stopped her. He then looked at the servant beside him and said, “Go and help Bonnie buy an apology gift. You must be there to make sure she apologizes.”
…
Because of the episode this morning, Selina was a lot happier. Bonnie probably wouldn’t dare to leave home to meet people now. This was so-called karma!
Because she was in a good mood, she could work with a clearer mind.
Just as she was busy with her work, her phone rang.
It was Manfred on the phone, “Busy bee, you don’t even need lunch now?”
Only then did Selina realize that she was the only one left in the entire office again.
Selina stuck out her tongue at the air and said, “I’ll go to have something now.”
“Come downstairs!” Manfred said.
Selina went blank, “You’re downstairs?” Selina saw through the window that Manfred’s black Maybach was indeed parked quietly across the road. She was a little touched and waved at him.
“I’ll be right there.”
