Chapter 1178 Everyone Fears Him and Rejects Him Selena had been sitting in the café, and since Delilah left, she hadn't moved but kept going through the documents she received.
The documents stated that Delilah's daughter only had autism, not the congenital kidney failure Delilah claimed, but Delilah indeed was in the late stages of breast cancer.
So, because she didn't have long to live and wanted Lorenzo to cback to her, she decided to sacrifice her autistic daughter.
Selena's fingertips lightly tapped on the table. After a long time, she sent a message to Delilah: [I can make Lorenzo love you again.] Negotiation was all about appealing to what the other party wanted.
She believed that Isla, who was behind Delilah, would never give her such a promise, only money. Now, the condition Selena offered was the most tempting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSure enough, Delilah quickly replied.
But Delilah was still cautious and only responded with a question mark.
What she had just discussed with Selena was to ruin Lorenzo and his lover Darlene, but now Selena sent her such a message. Did Selena see that she still couldn't let go of Lorenzo? Immediately, Selena sent a second message.
[Just ruining them isn't enough. Making Lorenzo fall in love with you again, and by then, you would have passed away. For him, living with that regret would be the greatest torment. You would be using your life to get revenge on him, and he would live the rest of his life in remorse.] Delilah was trembling all over, her eyes red with excitement. This was what she wanted to do deep down, but she knew very well that Lorenzo no longer loved her. Darlene had given Lorenzo a son, and now she shamelessly was pregnant with a second child! How could Selena possibly do it? Selena must be lying to her! But she was so desperate to win Lorenzo back that even though she knew the chances of Lorenzo falling in love with her again were slim, she still took the bait and replied.
[What do you plan to do?] Selena deliberately didn't reply to Delilah's message, just to make her anxious.
She put away her phone and got into her car. Instead of going back to the office immediately, she went to visit Betty and Sophia.
After a considerable delay, she returned to the office at nine in the evening. She instinctively thought Raymond must have gone hby now.
She had been very busy today, visiting several film sets to ensure that the ongoing productions were not affected before she felt at ease to return to the office and continue dealing with Delilah's matter.
She pushed open the office door, and the lights were off.
She turned on the lights and had just sat down at her desk when Ann walked in and handed her sdocuments.
"Ms. Fair, these are the documents needed for tomorrow, and Austin cby this afternoon but left again." "Didn't I tell him to stay hand rest?" "Maybe he was still worried, considering we've all been working overtbecause of his situation recently." Selena raised her hand to rub her temples. Austin was innocent in this matter too.
She waved her hand, signaling Ann to leave.

He hadn't slept on the small bed but was lying on the two-seater sofa.
The sofa was only 5 feet long, so he had to curl up.
He must have been very tired lately, as even the noise didn't wake him.
Selena didn't turn on the light. Using the light from the floor-to-ceiling window, she walked up to him.
He slept in a very well-behaved position, possibly waiting here for a long time, maybe even without having dinner.
Selena didn't want to wake him but was worried that not eating would trigger his stomach issues, so she gently pushed his shoulder.
In front of others, Raymond was the omnipotent Raymond in the business world, feared and shunned by everyone. Now that Christopher was back, everyone naturally hoped Christopher would take that position again. Because Christopher would give people a way out, but Raymond would never give his opponents a way out. Selena slowly raised her hand and touched his hair, and then she saw him open his eyes.
He didn't say anything, so Selena leaned down and kissed him on the lips.
