Chapter 2408 Make Trouble
The waiter at the side saw Selena and walked up to her with a helpless look.
‘These people came here for the past two days, and they’re here for you. They said that if you don’t give them an explanation, they’ll come again to cause trouble, making it impossible for us to do business!”
Selena’s face darkened. Her eyes were cold.
She felt that it was a pity that Derek did not die.
Flora walked over in a few steps and pointed at her aggressively.
“Why should you get to do business when my son has become like that? Pooh! You guys can dream on! If you don’t give me a satisfactory explanation, I’ll stay here and will never leave!”
Flora looked like a shrew. All these years of living a lavish life did not improve her manners.
She was dissatisfied with the results of Derek’s incident, so she used such roguish methods to make Selena compromise. Selena looked at her coldly.
“What? Didn’t the police tell you the result? If you’re not satisfied, you can appeal the case!”
Flora was so angry that she wanted to stomp her feet.
”B*tch! Why are you so arrogant? You bribed those people and even got someone to block Kiki’s livestream account! Now that Kiki is out of a job, you have to take responsibility!”
The influencer stroked her belly and sighed.
‘That’s right. My account was blocked for no reason, so you have to pay me compensation according to my daily earnings.”
Selena sneered.
“Isn’t your account blocked because you spread rumors and slandered the police? You don’t even have evidence. The netizens dug up dirt on you. You stripped too much in the livestream, so people reported your account. How can you blame this on me?”
The influencer’s expression changed. In the end, she held her belly and winced in pain.
Flora walked over to her and touched Kiki’s belly with concern.
“Kiki, don’t get angry!”
Flora turned her head and glared at Selena.
“If something happens to my daughter-in-law and grandson, I will never let you get away with it!”
Selena smiled contemptuously and coldly.
“I didn’t beg you to come here. How can you sound so righteous when you come here to make trouble? If you really can’t stand me, just keep suing me. I’d rather spend my money on legal fees than give you an extra penny!”
During her marriage to Derek, Selena never took a dime from the Norton family.
Thus, she did not owe them anything.
Selena almost lost her life there, but they could not even withstand this kind of revenge.
Flora wanted to say something when Selena’s eldest aunt stood up and took her hand to comfort her.
Selena’s aunt looked at Selena as if she wanted to be a mediator. She smiled gently, and her eyes flickered.
“Selena, even though you and Derek are divorced, you all used to be a family. It’s not nice to be in this stalemate.
After all, you caused Mr. Norton to be paralyzed for the rest of his life. It’s not easy for his child to be without a father, and for his wife to be a single parent. You should just compromise!”
Selena held back the disgust she felt and the urge to roll her eyes. She looked at her aunt indifferently.
“Auntie, what are you doing here?”
The aunt smiled and patted her arm.
“Selena, I know that it’s difficult for both parties, so I don’t think you should continue the stalemate. Didn’t you sign a divorce agreement and agreed to pay a total of $30 million in compensation to Mr. Norton?”
Selena glanced at her calmly and meaningfully.
The aunt felt a little guilty.
How could Selena’s aunt know the contents of the divorce agreement unless it was revealed by Flora?
It turned out that they just wanted more money.
Flora sat next to the influencer with confidence and kept her attention on Selena.
Seeing that Selena remained silent, the aunt took the opportunity to speak.
“How about this? Just give them the money, and I’ll persuade Mrs. Norton not to make a fuss so that you can continue to live your life. In fact, you’re not losing out. You were supposed to give this amount in compensation anyway. You owe the Nortons.
They’re good enough that they didn’t ask for more. Look at Mr. Norton now. He’s basically a living dead. But he still has a child and an old mother to take care of. It’s not easy for Mrs. Norton, so please be considerate!”
Selena stood there motionless. Finally, she looked at her aunt sternly and said without any warmth in her voice,” You’re not being a mediator. You’re just trying to play good cop bad cop with them.”
The aunt’s face froze. She looked a little angry.
“What do you mean? I’m only doing this for your own good!” Selena chuckled lightly.
“For my own good? Then why don’t you pay them off for me? Anyway, if you sell the Nelson family property, you get about $30 million.”
The aunt’s face immediately turned gloomy and livid.
She was holding back her anger.
“We can’t afford to take out so much money, and we can’t sell our property. That’s your grandfather’s life-long work. How can you say such outrageous words?”
The comer of Selena’s mouth twitched as she sneered with contempt.
‘Then is it just for my own good if you don’t do anything to help but persuade me to pay them instead?”
The aunt replied, “When did you become so eloquent and unreasonable? No wonder the Norton family was so displeased with you! If you had been more obedient and had given birth to a son for Derek, how
could another woman take your place now?”
The aunt was regretting Selena’s divorce.
After all, Selena’s divorce meant that the Nelsons and the Nortons no longer had any ties.
Selena’s eyes were cold as she chuckled lightly.
“So, why don’t you just say that my divorce affected your interests? To be honest, I’ve done enough for the Nelson family over the years, and I’ve repaid my debt to Grandpa for raising me for eighteen years. Don’t expect me to do you any favors like before. I will no longer sacrifice myself so stupidly for the Nelson family. When Grandpa passed away, I already told Uncle that I don’t want any of the inheritance, and I’m no longer a member of the Nelson family.”
Selena’s voice was very flat. She looked indifferent and calm like the surface of the deep sea.
No one could see the turbulent waves underneath, but that did not mean they did not exist.
Selena felt that she needed to express her attitude to the Nelson family.
The divorce was the most important decision she made.
Her grandfather could no longer use family ties to restrain her, and no one else was qualified to do so.
Thus, Selena looked at her aunt contemptuously. Her aunt wanted to hide her selfishness, but Selena exposed her.
Selena thought it was ridiculous.
The air was stagnant for a while.
Flora looked at them and stopped talking.
She immediately stood up and added fuel to the fire.
“Well, if you can’t persuade Selena to pay up, then I’ll tell the staff in my company that we’ll cancel all business related to the Nelson family. You won’t even get the final payment!”
