Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

She also did not doubt much about Clint’s motivation. Maybe he was in a hurry to get married and somehow ended up sleeping with a virgin, so he decided, on a whim, to marry her.

Also, being a workaholic, he simply couldn’t put love in the first place. Work was the priority, regardless of who his marriage partner was.

In any case, Selene was happy with the way things were.

But the newlyweds soon ran into a problem.

It was two months into their marriage that Selene realized that she still didn’t know anything about Clint’s family background and that she hadn’t met any of his friends. Clint also never invited her to any public activities.

Selene had let him know about her worries, but Clint simply shrugged them off. He comforted her that they had gotten married on a whim, and this would have caused problems among his peers if he had introduced her to them all of a sudden. He explained to her that he was breaking it slowly to them, for instance, by telling them that he was seeing a girl.

Hearing this, Selene joked that maybe his prestigious family would not accept her.

Clint, however, replied with seriousness, stating that his parents were very open-minded. They would never interfere with his marriage.

Selene was not convinced by his explanation, but she didn’t dwell on it, as she knew nothing about his family.

She realized that their marriage was lacking something very important, but she shrugged it off, thinking that things were great the way they were.

This unexpected marriage turned out to be just as good for Selene as a marriage could be, and she couldn’t believe how lucky she was. But she did not forget her real reason for marrying Clint.

Jennifer and Joseph would pay them back for what they had done to her, for making her feel the way she did.

Though Selene felt a little ashamed about her thoughts, she took pleasure in knowing that the time for revenge would come.

But, the perfect opportunity never arrived.

And she did not meet the two together.

Selene wanted to ask Clint about Joseph’s current situation. She knew that Clint, as Joseph’s direct boss, would know Joseph.

But every time she was about to ask about Joseph, she swallowed her words just before she could speak.

Selene felt somewhat guilty about it, and she didn’t know why.

It was three months after their marriage when she finally met Joseph.

That day, she was in her store alone as her assistant was on holiday. Joseph walked in. He looked thinner than before and sad, which was unlike a man who had just found a new love partner.

“Selene, could you please talk with me?” He begged.

This time, Selene did not ask him to leave her store straight away.

However, Selene was not always a woman who was full of sympathy. She expressionlessly looked at him and thought of a way to show off to him that she was married and her husband was Joseph’s boss, Clint Denovan.

She then replied. “Okay.”

“Jennifer was actually not my new girlfriend.”

“Really? But I saw you two together.”

“When I worked at the investment bank in Wall Street, I got involved in an illegal trade just to make some quick money. But things didn’t go as planned, and I was in danger of being exposed. Jennifer helped me.”

A sudden realization dawned on Selene’s face. She sneered, “So you choose her. You’re lucky! She was born into money, so she can help you with your career.”

“It’s not what you think. In fact, we’re not even in a relationship.” Joseph frowned.

He felt guilty, and after a few seconds of silence, he continued. “She helped me get through the crisis under the condition that I would be her boyfriend. Of course, it wasn’t for real. She knew that I was your boyfriend, and she wanted to hurt you.”

“I don’t know why, but she really hates you. I did what she wanted because I didn’t want to go to prison.”

“Jennifer forbade me from telling you the truth for three months. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I had no choice. Besides, I thought three months were short and wouldn’t hurt you much.”

Hearing Joseph’s explanation, Selene considered his words calmly. He believed his story, not because she trusted Joseph, but rather because she knew Jennifer well enough to know that this was just the kind of cruel trick that she would play on her.

It was just like during college when Jennifer had stolen Emily’s boyfriend and then showed off in front of her and Selene.

This time, Selene was once again the target of Jennifer’s nasty trick. When she saw Jennifer with Joseph, she should not have jumped to conclusions so quickly. If only she had not been so dense, she would not have been fooled as easily.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

It showed that Selene herself was too naive.

Seeing her expressionless face, Joseph asked carefully. “Selene, now that you know the truth, how about we make peace?”

“No, it’s too late,” Selene replied calmly.

“What?” Joseph seemed very confused.

“I got married.”

Joseph’s eyes went wider than saucers. “Married?” He repeated incredulously.

“Yes.”

Obviously, Joseph was innocent, but his selfishness had made her suffer from the great humiliation of being betrayed. So, she decided to go through with her plan for revenge.

“I’m married, and my new husband’s name is Clint Denovan. You’re probably familiar with him, as he is your boss at SSGB.”

Joseph reacted as if being struck by lightning, “Yeah, right!”

“No, I’m serious.”

Joseph’s openmouthed expression soon dissipated, and he comforted her. “I know you’re angry with me for what I did, but you don’t need to make up such ridiculous stories.”

He didn’t believe it at all.

Selene felt that her plan had failed, and she felt angry.

“Selene, maybe now we could be together again.”

Selene mocked him. “Joseph, how can you be so arrogant? You break up with me and get together whenever you please? What do you think I am, an object for you to use and discard whenever you please?”
