Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

Before Selene could run away, she was caught by the man again.

He quickly nipped her neck without any hesitation and was ready to cut into her face with the knife.

“Stop!”

Before the thug could move any further, a phone hit him square on the forehead. Selene broke free from his grasp as he recoiled in pain.

Clint Denovan stepped forward, and before the man reacted, Clint kicked him in the forehead. The man fell to the ground and rolled over in pain.

“Are you okay?” Clint asked as he carried her away.

Selene shook her head.

The thug with the knife got up from the floor and brandished his knife again. “This is none of your business. Leave, or I’ll cut you too.”

Clint snorted and shouted, “Jennifer, Dan, come out here.”

His voice was full of anger.

The headlights of a nearby car turned on, and the driver honked. Dan lifted his head out of the car and smiled. “All right, Clint. You’re here. Let’s make peace.”

The two men stepped back, and Austin, who was on the ground, coughed uncomfortably.

Dan got out of the car. “We were just messing around. Don’t be so serious. It’s Miss Morris who started it. I just wanted to teach her a small lesson.”

Jennifer ran to Clint, sobbing. “Selene is so horrible to me. She made up stories about me online, accusing me of copying others so that I would get dropped out of the competition. She also ridiculed me today at her fashion show. I just wanted to teach her a lesson about being humble.”

Selene sneered and walked to Austin. “Are you alright? Let’s go to the hospital.”

She helped Austin into his car’s passenger seat. She was about to get in, too, so she could drive him to the hospital when Jennifer suddenly called her name. “Selene Morris. Let’s be honest in front of Clint. Tell him everything.”

“I have nothing to talk about with you,” Selene said.

“So, you suddenly changed your mind?”

Selene stopped in her tracks and turned back impatiently. “Fine. Say what you have to say.”

“Clint. Just now, when Selene called you to get back together, she didn’t really mean it. She only did it to provoke me.”

Clint frowned and gave Selene an inquisitive look.

“She’s right,” Selene said blankly.

“Did you hear that, Clint? She just took advantage of you only to get back at me.”

Clint looked at Selene. “So you didn’t actually mean what you said?”

“Yes. I didn’t.” Selene calmly replied.

Clint kept silent.

“Selene is also accusing me of getting someone to set her store on fire. It’s terrible of her to make such baseless accusations. That’s why I asked Dan to teach her a lesson.”

Selene glared at her. “Stop pretending. You know full well what you did. The truth will come out eventually!

“Do you see what she’s doing, Clint?” Jennifer sobbed.

“Okay, Selene. Would you mind making a compromise? What they did today is definitely wrong, but stop provoking them with these accusations.” Clint comforted.

“Selene, Selene… I need to go to the hospital now!” Austin knocked at the car window.

Selene suddenly remembered Austin’s condition and quickly got into the car, then drove away with Austin.

Dan embarrassedly came forward and greeted Clint. “So… uh… what brought you out here tonight?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I came here to stop you guys from doing something stupid,” Clint replied coldly.

“I just wanted to scare her.” Dan smiled, “I know you love her.”

“That’s good.” Clint glanced at them. “You’d do good to remember that.”

Dan nodded.

But Jennifer was still unhappy. “You heard what she said. Why do you still love her?”

“That’s my concern.”

Jennifer started to cry again. Dan quickly comforted her. “It’s okay, Jenni. Clint is doing it for you.”

Clint looked at them, then shook his head, leaving.

Selene drove the car as fast as she legally could. Austin covered his stomach with his hand and coughed. Suddenly, he coughed up some blood.

“What happened? Why is there blood?” Selene asked with fear and worry in her tone.

“I was kicked in the stomach. It really hurts.”

“My God. We’re close to the hospital now.”

When they arrived, Austin was full of sweat, and his face was pale.

He was swiftly taken to the emergency room.

Selene waited outside impatiently until the doctor walked out.

“What’s wrong with him?” Selene asked worriedly

“The physical trauma he suffered caused some internal bleeding.”

“Is it serious?”

“It may be. We’ve done what we could to stop the bleeding, but he will need to be kept under constant medical observation for a few days to decide whether surgery is needed.”

Then Selene walked into Austin’s room to keep him company. A few hours later, Austin finally woke up. He looked at Selene, whose eyes were bloodshot from tiredness.

“It’s all right. Just the usual stomach trouble.” Austin smiled at her in an attempt to comfort her.

Selene rolled her eyes. “It’s gastric perforation not the ‘usual trouble’. I’ve called the police. What they did to us is a crime. We will press charges.”

Austin stretched out his hand to hold Selene’s and smiled. “At least you’re alright. If they had cut your face, I would’ve had no choice but to marry you since no one else would have. That’s terrible!”

Selene was neither able to cry nor to laugh. “How can you joke at a time like this?”

“It’s not a bad thing that I’m hurt. We now have something to get them in trouble for.”

“But it’s me who should be hurt.”

“I’ve already told you that if they had left a cut on your face, it wouldn’t have been serious enough for the police to do something about it.”

“So you just lied there and let them kick you?”

“Yes, and thanks to Clint, it didn’t get worse.”

“Those were dangerous men. We should’ve run away.”

“I could not let them hurt you. What about you and Clint?”

Selene suddenly became serious. “I have once considered getting back together with him, but now I’ve realized that we live in different worlds.
