Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

By intuition, Selene had a strong suspicion that someone else was responsible for the fire, so she was happy about the news.

Since Selene had made it to the finals of the JU Brand competition, she was now one of the brand designers. This gave cause for celebration, and she invited Austin and Emily to do just that.

The three went to a restaurant to celebrate and paid for a private room. Selene even chose to drink some alcohol, which was something she hadn’t done in a long while.

So, after dinner, they drank, talked, and sang karaoke in the room. They were all very happy!

By the end of the night, Emily and Selene were slightly drunk. They stood in front of the restaurant, waiting for their sober designated driver, Austin, to bring his car around to pick them up.

“Congratulations, Selene Morris.” Came a surly voice.

Selene turned back only to see Jennifer Keller. Accompanying her were several young and stylish-looking guys, along with her ‘henchman’, Dan. Jennifer and Dan’s arms were locked, and they stood close to each other, almost intimate-like.

Emily turned back, too. When she saw them, she started laughing. “Hi, Miss Keller, ‘designer of the year.’ Long time no see. I bet you didn’t expect Selene to become a designer for JU Brand, did you?”

“It was luck.” Jennifer snorted.

“I hope you’re happy with the designs you stole from me. You’ll give me a share of the profits, right?” Selene sneered.

“Do you have any proof for that? If you don’t, then shut up.” Jennifer retorted coldly.

“You must’ve thought your trick would ruin my chances with JU Brand, but I’m smart and took care of it.”

“Don’t be so smug.” Jennifer’s expression froze.

“This is a new low for you, Jennifer. You know you can’t come up with any good designs yourself, so you resort to stealing someone else’s. You should be ashamed.” Emily said.

Jennifer looked at Emily contemptuously. “My only shame is conversing with a failure like you. All those years of work, and you have nothing to show for it. And I see that you still haven’t found anyone to replace your ex who left you back in college.”

That made Emily angry. “All your success is thanks to your wealthy family. Everyone knows it.”

Selene started dragging Emily away, worried that things would eventually get out of hand.

Jennifer suddenly scowled. “Was it you who posted that stuff about me copying others?”

“Yes, it was me. I only posted the truth!”

“You…” Jennifer was too angry to speak. She raised her hand to slap Emily, but Selene got in the way. “That’s enough, Jennifer!”

Jennifer’s blood boiled, and she turned to Dan. “Beat them up until their faces are unrecognizable.”

“No problem.” Dan smiled cooperatively.

Selene’s heart started to race as she panicked. Dan was a playboy who would do anything for Jennifer.

Selene looked as the other two men who had been standing behind Dan started walking towards her and Emily. She pulled Emily back and was ready to run.

Right then, they parked Austin’s car.

He hurriedly got out of the car and got in front of Emily and Selene. “What are you doing? I’ve called the police.”

The two men hesitated.

Jennifer snorted. “Let’s go,” Dan said, comforting her. ”We can deal with it next time.”

They all got into a car nearby.

Before Selene turned to leave, Jennifer walked up to her again. “I’ve heard that you’ve been robbed, and someone tried to kill you in a fire.” She said with a half-smile.

Selene was shocked. She looked at Jennifer carefully, and she noticed something.

Under the street light, Jennifer’s evil smirk gave her a truly evil look. She had always thought of Jennifer as overly competitive, but now she realized that there was something very dark hidden inside of her.

Selene raised the corner of her lips and smiled. “Yes. You must be very disappointed that I’m still alive.”

“Yes, I am. The fire should’ve killed you. That would’ve made me very happy.”

Jennifer started walking away, but Selene stepped in front of her.

”So, it’s you who started the fire,” Selene said accusingly.

Jennifer kept smiling, but her expression was hiding something. She raised her eyebrows.

“You should show some proof instead of making such baseless accusations.” She retorted arrogantly.

Selene looked at Jennifer angrily. “You’re worse than I ever thought. You’re an evil bitch. If it’s you who started the fire, I promise you’ll pay for it.”

“Again, where’s your proof? Stop slandering me, or I’ll get you in trouble.”

“Proof? I’ll show you proof!” Selene smiled coldly.

Jennifer snorted, turned away angrily, then left.

Selene looked at her disappearing form, thought for a while, then walked to Austin’s car and got in.

Emily looked at Selene curiously, as she had been gone for a while. “What did you two talk about?” She asked. ”Jennifer seemed mad at you.”

Selene shook her head as she settled down in the front passenger seat. She then turned back to Emily. “Jennifer is different; She used to be all bark and no bite, but now she’s dangerous. It would be best if you watched out because there’s no telling what she’ll do to you. She knows that you were the one who exposed her plagiarism online.”

“What a lovely ex-classmate you have.” Austin sighed sympathetically as he started driving.

“How could we have known?” Emily declared sadly.

“Guys,” Selene said. ”I think Jennifer is the one who started the fire.”

“What?!” Austin said in surprise as he pushed down the brake pedal. The car came to a sudden stop, causing all three to plunge forward slightly.

“Why are you so surprised?” Selene patted him on the shoulder.

“Are you serious? Did she really try to kill you?” Austin asked with a flabbergasted expression.

Emily was also shocked by Selene’s statement. “How sure are you about this? I know she’s a bitch, but would she really go that far?”

“I don’t know for sure. The robbers won’t admit to it, which might be either because they don’t want to be accused of trying to kill me or because they really didn’t do it.” She paused for a while, then continued, “But when I spoke to Jennifer just now, I could see it on her face. I think she wants me dead.”
