Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

Jennifer became angry. “Then maybe we should break up. It’s not like I was planning to marry you anyway. Besides, you’ve always known how crazy I am about Clint.”

“So, what am I to you then? A tool for revenge?”

Jennifer looked unhappy. “You’ll always be my best friend, Dan. So why is that suddenly not enough for you anymore?”

“Yes, I was your friend before. But now, things are different. You know what we’ve done, and we’re doing this together. If Clint finds out, who knows what he’ll do.”

Jennifer looked at him with scorn. “What? Don’t forget that it’s you whose hands are dirty. You’re the one who started the fire, not me.” She took a deep breath. ”Let’s continue this later. I’ll come to your apartment tonight.”

Dan left reluctantly.

Jennifer curled her lips and turned back to the room. She saw Clint standing straight on his bed. She ran to support him. ”What are you doing, Clint?”

“I just emptied my bladder.” Clint calmly replied. He then glanced at her. ‘What about you and Dan? Are you two dating?”

Jennifer shook her head. “You know how he’s been keeping at my side for so many years. But I don’t like him. And I don’t have the heart to tell him to his face to get lost.”

Clint half-smiled. “If you really think that, then you should be direct with him, or there may be some ugly misunderstandings.”

“You’re right. I will!” Jennifer nodded with a smile.

Selene drove home from her encounter with Jennifer, Dan, and Clint with a muddleheaded state of mind. She first went to Austin’s apartment and found Austin working on his computer.

“You’re still recovering from your injuries. You need to rest.” She then closed his laptop.

“I was just bored.” Austin grinned. “Any news about the case?”

Selene shook her head discouragingly. “The two thugs denied working for anyone. So, Dan and Jennifer will get off scot-free.”

Austin sighed in defeat. “Whatever. They will get what’s coming to them one day.”

“I feel so bad for involving you in all of this,” Selene said sadly, covering her eyes with her hands. “I did something stupid today.”

“What was it? Did you run them over or something?” Austin joked.

“Yes, but I ended up hitting Clint with my car instead.” Selene nodded.

Austin was too shocked to speak for a few seconds before regaining his composure. “What were you thinking? You could’ve ended up in jail.”

“Yes, I wasn’t thinking straight.”

Austin gave her a serious look and moved her hands from her eyes. “Selene. Please stop acting so rashly.”

“Alright. I will.”

“How is Clint? Is he hurt badly?”

“I don’t know. But it didn’t seem very serious.”

“Why was he there, anyway?”

“Who knows? Maybe he just wanted to protect his two friends.” Selene sneered. “Now, let’s stop mentioning his name, okay?”

Austin looked at her with hesitation. “I know that you’re disappointed in how he handled things at the car park, but he…”

“Austin!” Selene glared at him. “You don’t need to defend him. I know he saved me, and I don’t hate him. But I just cannot accept him. It’s over between us.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

But, of course, her words didn’t always reflect through her actions.

Several days later, when she went to the hospital to pick up medicine for Austin, she saw Jennifer holding Clint as the two were walking in the hospital corridor.

Clint and Jennifer spotted her, too. Jennifer held Clint more tightly in an attempt to spite Selene. Clint did not evade but looked at Selene with a complicated expression and then lowered his head.

Selene looked away without any emotion as if she did not know the two at all.

At this point, Selene understood that her biggest mistake was letting her emotions get the better of her when dealing with Jennifer.

She realized that she had too much to lose and nothing to gain in her conflict with Jennifer.

She stepped out of the hospital, and the sunshine hit her face.

There was one thing that she couldn’t deny; the world was too damn small.

Selene had made the decision that she would not involve herself with them anymore, but there was no way she could get away from coming across them in fashion shows or online.

During Jennifer’s new fashion show that took place a little while later, Clint was her guest, even though he was still injured. The media hyped up their relationship, and it seemed that something had really happened between them.

And Jennifer’s plagiarism was forgotten by the public very quickly.

Selene never meant to read the news about them, but she could not help scanning through those articles when they popped up.

Austin asked if she felt sad about it. She thought for a while and really felt a little sorrowful. But considering how peaceful her life had suddenly become, she truly believed that things were better this way.

If Jennifer gets romantically involved with Clint, then she will probably forget about Selene. That’s the peaceful life that Selene yearned for.

Time seemed to pass quickly after that whole ordeal.

It was the end of the year, and Selene, who now worked as one of JU Brand’s designers, had to take part in a series of activities that she wasn’t interested in, such as boring parties and pointless lunch meetings.

During these events, she sometimes came across people she knew unexpectedly.

This was one of those times.

She was at a prestigious party, and she found the ballroom too noisy. So, she took a glass of beer and walked to the end of a corridor. She was about to open the door and exit the building when she heard someone arguing there.

The voice sounded familiar.

Though she wasn’t usually interested in people’s personal affairs, the topic of the conversation attracted her attention.

“Are you seriously breaking up with me?” Dan cried with anger in his voice.

“Yes.”

“And you’ll date Clint, who’ll never love you back?”

“Clint told me that he needs some time to consider. However, I’ve been in love with him for many years, so I will take the chance.”
