Chapter 92
Selene stared at the screen of her phone, checking the number again to see if it was familiar, but it wasn’t. The voice on the other end seemed unfamiliar as well; she was certain she didn’t have anyone in her contacts who barked like dogs, except Michelle.
“Who are you and why are you barking like a dog on my phone? You probably contacted the wrong phone number,” she said, about to hang up on the phone.
“Selene Jones, you slut!” The person barked again. “You dared to call me a dog. After hurting Michelle and making her land in the hospital, you dare to insult me?” Amelia questioned Selene as her chest heaved up and down.
The servant who was beside her feared that her madam was going to have a stroke.
’Please don’t die yet, madam. You haven’t paid me my salary for this month,’ the servant silently prayed as she watched Amelia continue to yell at the person over the phone.
Earlier, Amelia had received a phone call from Michelle, informing her about the incident and that she was in the hospital. Immediately, she contacted Selene to bash the young woman who looked like her daughter.
Michelle always informed her mother about what had been happening, especially after the Wallace family kicked her out of their mansion when they saw her still circulating video about her admitting having planned to have Selene raped by three men at the villa.
Now, she was staying at their mansion, and each day, Michelle fumed and planned on how she was going to get her revenge on Selene and make her life a living hell.
On the other hand, Selene was quite surprised that Amelia had contacted her directly and was talking to her in such a rude manner. She didn’t even care if someone was listening to the conversation.
But Selene tried to maintain a cool and calm demeanor as she parted her lips to speak.
“’Mrs. Harrison, it was an accident that happened at the set. It wasn’t completely my fault at all. A real sword was given to me, how was I supposed to know it was real instead of fake?” She asked, despite knowing Amelia didn’t care about all that logical explanation.
She only wanted to vent nonstop on something she knew well she didn’t have a hand in; it was the idea of her daughter after all.
“Listen here, young lady. If something happens to Michelle, I will have you jailed, and not even Xavier will have you bailed out, slut,” she threatened. She was very much aware that her power couldn’t do such a thing, but she only wanted to inflict fear on Selene.
“Now, look, Mrs. Harrison, I don’t want to talk to you disrespectfully, and I would highly appreciate it if you don’t call me names now. That’s utterly wrong,” Selene warned politely.
She was trying to hold herself back from talking back to the woman because she wasn’t sure if someone was listening to their conversation from over there. Perhaps, it was a trap for her to say the wrong thing and then they might use that against her as well. She didn’t want to fall into that trap at all.
“And what will happen if I call you a slut? A whore. You are a whore who climbed Xavier’s bed and seduced him just so that you can get some benefits from him,” Amelia accused.
The servant who was listening to Amelia speak couldn’t help but be astonished with what Amelia had just spat.
“Xavier Wallace has a slut?” She mumbled under her breath.
“And if it hadn’t been for Xavier, do you think you would have had a chance to act in that movie? After what my daughter had done for you, you dared to stab her in the chest and call it an accident p>
“Listen, Amelia. I think I’ve let you speak enough. You are just like your daughter, the both of you speak nonstop, blabbing you will do this, you will do that. Do you two practice before talking to me because all I can hear is the cries of a dying chicken,” said Selene.
She was done acting respectfully all in the name of having good manners.
Amelia was immediately vexed when she heard Amelia speak. Her face flushed red with anger as she clenched her teeth.
“You and I both know that it was all Michelle’s plan to swap the swords. But I don’t get it, since you know, why are you still barking like a starved dog? I don’t understand you two, you both act like stray dogs let out in the street with no manners impacted on you,” she continued.
Amelia’s face had turned bright red in anger as she struggled to control herself. The more insults Selene hurled at her, the more she felt like she couldn’t breathe anymore.
“Oh I see, you are venting out your anger from the previous incidents right? Well, you can’t blame me at all, Amelia. The only person to blame is your very own daughter, Michelle,” she added.
“Shut up!!” Amelia yelled.
“Again with the barking,” she sighed over the phone. “I don’t want to continue this phone call and take the risk of losing my earring. But I will leave you off with a warning, Amelia p>
“You have better control your daughter. She was the one who started this game, but I will be the one to end it. She has played her part, right? Well, she had better be expecting a comeback from me because I’m not going to make it easy for her,” and with that, Selene hung up the call and threw her phone on the bed, leaving Amelia to hold her phone in her hand.
Even though she had heard all that Selene had said clearly, she thought her hearing was deceiving her.
“She dared to threaten me like that,” she thought out loud as she glared at her phone in her hand, as if it would send a raging thunder at Selene’s location.
