Chapter 0004

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, David called his assistant directly.

"Transfer $200 million to Selina from my personal account!"

He had originally planned to spend his life with her. Now that she was willing to leave his life for $100 million, he had no reason not to agree. The $100 million could be considered repayment for saving his grandmother's life.

As for the shares his grandmother left, he wouldn't take advantage of her. He'd buy them back at double the price Christopher offered.

She wanted the divorce. If she regretted it later, he wouldn't give her any chance to entangle him again!

Leaving the County Court, Selina held her divorce certificate in her hand. As soon as she stepped out, she spotted Amanda, elegantly dressed and wearing a familiar diamond necklace, eagerly watching the exit.

The moment David appeared, Amanda ran to his side like an excited kid, affectionately linking arms with him.

Selina's lips curled in derision. Divorce on one side, marriage on the other - they certainly were in a hurry!

Chin held high, Selina walked past them expressionlessly.

As he watched her walk towards the waiting Lincoln limousine surrounded by bodyguards, David, who thought he'd be happy to finally be rid of Selina, felt his irritation intensify. This irritation reached its peak when he saw a handsome man with golden rimless glasses step out of the limo and open his arms to embrace Selina, and she didn't resist, allowing herself to be escorted into the car.

When had such an intimate man appeared in Selina's life, when she had always revolved around him?

As if sensing David's gaze, the man suddenly looked up, meeting David's eyes with a challenging glance. Noticing the obvious hostility, David sneered back. It was just a woman he didn't want anymore, what was there to be proud of?

But even with the divorce, David still felt cheated. His fingers involuntarily tightened, crumpling the divorce certificate in his palm.

"David, what's wrong?" Amanda tugged at David's arm, her voice syrupy sweet. "Are you listening to me?"

David snapped back to reality, massaging his temples to ease his headache. He had been so focused on Selina that he'd only vaguely heard Amanda mention a fight with her family and wanting to stay at his place for a while.

"Choose whatever you like," David said flatly, pulling his arm away. "If you're not feeling well, don't run around. I'll have someone take you back. Also, the company's busy these days, so I won't be visiting you for a while."

Amanda lowered her gaze to the divorce certificate in David's hand.

He was divorced now. Sooner or later, he would be hers!

Meanwhile, Selina decided to return to the Belvedere Heights villa. She had left without taking anything, which was foolish. The things Rachel had given her - why should she leave them for someone else's benefit?

Learning of Selina's plans, Thomas was concerned and wanted to accompany her, but she politely declined.

She was just going back to deal with some unwanted items, why would she need Thomas to intervene?

After spending these few days together and learning about her brothers' impressive status, Selina naturally knew how valuable Thomas's time was. Him coming to support her was already enough!

At Thomas's insistence, Selina arrived at Belvedere Heights with bodyguards. She asked them to wait outside while she went in to pack.

Upon entering, she found her former mother-in-law, Jennifer, inside.

Seeing Selina, Jennifer, who had been holding back her anger, immediately launched into a tirade.

"Where have you been gallivanting all morning? Lazy good-for-nothing, you can't even do the cleaning properly. Marrying a woman like you, David must have the worst luck in the world!"

In the past, Jennifer often caused trouble when David wasn't home, and Selina had always endured it. Now, she no longer needed to compromise!

Selina sneered, grabbing Jennifer's accusatory finger and twisting it back forcefully.

"Ah!" Jennifer screamed in pain, her face contorted. Furious, she yelled, "Selina, are you asking for death? How dare you lay hands on me? Let go, or I'll end you!"

Without Rachel's protection, Jennifer thought she could punish Selina however she wanted, with no one to stop her.

Selina scoffed. End her? Jennifer would need the ability first. She wasn't the weak, easily bullied Selina of the past anymore.

Selina narrowed her eyes at Jennifer, increasing the pressure. Jennifer's finger was almost bent at a 90-degree angle, the pain making her see stars. Seeing that Selina had no intention of letting go, Jennifer quickly shut up in fear.

Coward! Selina sneered, releasing Jennifer's finger with disgust before turning towards the upstairs bedroom.

Jennifer nursed her nearly broken finger, seething with hatred.

"Amanda just called. David agreed to let her stay here. The master bedroom has the best light, so clean it up for her!" Jennifer called after Selina provocatively. "Amanda's pregnant, she needs the best of everything."

She was certain this would get under Selina's skin. Selina paused, her pale face etched with mockery. Coming back had indeed been the right decision!

Selina packed up everything she had bought and piled all the clothes and jewelry Rachel had given her on the bed. Just as she was about to call the bodyguards to move them, Jennifer burst in.

"You've divorced David and still have the nerve to come back?" Jennifer shoved Selina hard, eyeing the pile of clothes and jewelry. "These belong to the Wilsons. You're not taking a single thing!"

At that moment, Amanda appeared in the doorway, wearing a loose white chiffon dress and flats. One hand rested on her waist, the other on her still-flat belly, adopting a pregnant woman's pose. Her gaze towards Selina was full of challenge and triumph.

Her eyes followed Jennifer's words to the bed, taking in the expensive jewelry, limited-edition luxury bags, shoes, and haute couture dresses. A glimmer of greed flashed in her eyes. Soon, these things, like David, would all be hers!

Selina, long tired of Jennifer's bullying, retorted bluntly, "Get out of my way, you old busybody!"

Jennifer trembled with rage.

Her finger still aching, she didn't dare to get physical.

"Selina, Jennifer is your elder. How can you speak to her like that?" Amanda chimed in, adding fuel to the fire. "You're being far too disrespectful to Jennifer."

Selina gave her a contemptuous glance. "You're just a mistress. What right do you have to lecture me?"

"What?..." Amanda turned pale with anger, looking at Jennifer with feigned hurt. "Jennifer, I just couldn't stand by and watch her disrespect you!"

"You're the shameless homewrecker. If it weren't for you bewitching Rachel, Amanda should have been the one to marry David!" Jennifer defended Amanda, her dislike for Selina growing by the second. "You've been using Rachel to keep me in check for three years. I've been wanting to teach you a lesson for a long time!"

Steeling herself, Jennifer gritted her teeth and approached Selina, raising her hand high, ready to strike Selina's face without mercy.
