Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

For Selene, Jennifer was like a ghost who could appear at any unexpected time. Just that morning, she saw Jennifer’s name on the shortlist, so she wasn’t surprised that, later on, the same day, an angry Jennifer appeared unannounced at her store.

“Selene Morris! What did you do to him?”

Selene snorted without saying anything. She clearly knew who Jennifer had meant by ”him”. However, she had already decided that from then on, she would forget about Clint. Jennifer, however, had already ruined that.

Selene barely held herself back from retorting, but she quickly realized that it would be best not to involve herself with Jennifer anymore. “Jennifer,” Selene smiled. ‘I don’t know what happened between you two, but I can tell you that everything is over between Clint and me. So don’t take your problems with him out on me because that’s none of my business.”

Jennifer was not expecting that, and she was taken aback. “What do you mean?” She asked with a surprised expression.

“I broke up with him. Don’t come to me if you have a problem with him. Do you understand?”

“You two broke up?” Jennifer asked incredulously. She didn’t sound convinced.

“If you don’t believe me, then go and ask him yourself. And stop talking about him in front of me.”

Though Jennifer was irritated by Selene’s tone, the news made her very happy. She reminded herself of Clint’s expression at the hospital. It was obvious that Selene had initiated the breakup. But Jennifer refused to accept it.

“I knew right from the beginning that your relationship would not last. You two are incompatible.” Jennifer snorted.

“Maybe we are. But what about you and him? Are you two compatible? He doesn’t even like you at all.”

Jennifer was angry.

She thought for a while and smiled. “It’s all right. Clint will finally know who his true love is.” She suddenly looked very happy. She was about to leave the store, but she turned around all of a sudden.

“I saw your name on the shortlist of the JU Brand contest. Just remember that only one of us can win. And that will be me.”

After Jennifer left, Mandy carefully walked to Selene. “Do you think that JU Brand will choose her? Surely, they can’t have favorites. That would be unfair.”

“I don’t think so. She knows the director of the JU Brand, and she is from a wealthy background, which could be an advantage. But maybe she’s just trying to scare me.”

“Okay. Good. It’s just that you also work for the brand.” Mandy sighed heavily.

Selene smiled. “That’s okay. It doesn’t matter that much if we work with this brand. It makes little difference if we work with this one or a different one.”

“I wish I could always be as positive as you. You never let others get to you.” Mandy said, smiling.

“I’m not as positive as you think.” Selene sighed.

Right then, Selene’s phone rang. She picked up her phone and looked at the screen. It was Emily who was calling. She tapped the screen to answer the call.

“Hey, Emily. Are you okay?” Selene asked.

“Austin called me last night and told me that you had a fight with Clint, then hid at the boxing gym. What happened? Are you okay?”

“Yes. I’m okay.”

“Really? What about Clint?”

”I broke up with him.”

“Ah?!” Emily sighed. “I’ve always thought you would marry a rich and handsome man, and I would’ve been very happy for you. It’s a shame that you two broke up, but you know best. I’m sure you’ll find someone better.”

“I will.” Selene smiled.

“Oh, I saw your name on the JU Brand contest shortlist. Do you think you’ll win?”

“I have no expectations for it,” Selene said honestly.

“It’s a great opportunity. Why not give it a try? Besides, if you lose, Jennifer will laugh at you.”

“I don’t know. I saw her talking to the brand director at the fashion show. She seemed very confident about the competition.”

“You mean Mike? The director of the brand?”

“Yes. Do you know him?”

“He has worked with the magazine, and I know him to some degree.” Emily smiled. “Make a design. Put everything into it.” Emily’s eyes went wide. You might not win the competition, but if we work together, we will beat Jennifer!” Emily continued with a mysterious smile.

“What are you planning?” Selene asked with suspicion.

“Don’t you worry about that? Just work on your final design. Okay, I have to go. If we succeed, I’ll be happy!”

Before Selene could say anything else, Emily hung up, leaving Selene at a loss.

Selene did not know what Emily intended to do, but she chose not to dwell on it. The joy of being on the shortlist outweighed the sadness for the events that had transpired the day before.

But now, due to Jennifer’s visit, everything felt pointless.

Seeing Selene’s absentmindedness, Mandy gave Selene a worried look. “Did you break up with Mr. Denovan?”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Selene nodded.

“I can tell that he cares about you very much. He came here yesterday looking for you, all worried.”

“Oh,” Selene answered back calmly.

Mandy chose not to enquire further.

After Selene loafed through two days without worrying about anything, Emily called her out of the blue early in the morning.

“Selene. Check online. See what they’re writing about Jennifer.”

“What’s that?” Unfortunately, Selene’s brain was too foggy due to the time of the day, and Emily’s words didn’t register in her head.

“Check your Twitter feed now.” Emily was too excited to explain anything over the phone.

Selene got up, switched her laptop on, and went on Twitter. She went on the fashion news trending page.

“Jennifer Keller, the young and successful designer, has been accused of cheating for her university final year project.”

“Jennifer Keller’s works are under suspicion of plagiarism.”

Selene became dumbfounded, and it took her a few seconds to be able to formulate words again. “Did you do this?”

“Yes. She cheated on her final project, but our college helped her cover it up, and she ended up graduating with the highest honors. I found her project and posted it online.”
