Chapter 90
Selene walked into the ward and saw Director Jeunes, some of the crew, and a few individuals with blood stains on their shirts—the ones who had lifted Michelle and taken her to the car. The tension in the room was palpable, and Selene felt a wave of unease wash over her as she passed them to head to director Jeunes.
“Director Jeunes,” Selene called, grabbing their attention. When their eyes fell on her, they immediately gave her scrutinizing gazes which Selene wasn’t surprised about.
It was the kind of reaction Michelle wanted from them, which was why she did what she did.
Selene didn’t bother to give them more than one glance before her gaze focused back on director Jeunes.
“Selene, I’m glad you are here. Michelle was there and she wanted to talk to you,” he said, pointing at the hospital room Michelle was staying in.
Selene nodded before she walked inside. She could feel the piercing glare from her colleagues, but didn’t bother with them. She made a mental note to deal with them later. Right now, she had Michelle who probably wanted to laugh in her face.
Selene scoffed when she saw Michelle resting on the hospital bed, dressed in a hospital gown. Her eyes were drawn to the white bandage plastered on Michelle’s left chest, exactly where Selene had been about to stab her earlier.
On the other hand, Michelle stared at Selene with a wide smile on her face.
“Selene, my darling, I’m glad you were able to make it today. How do you find my moves? You like it?” Michelle asked with a sentimental tone, as if they had been best friends for ages. Selene sighed heavily, trying to mask her irritation.
“I must say, I didn’t see it coming at all. You were quite smooth with this one. I’m sure your heart must be jumping for joy, finally succeeding in doing something bad to me after so many tries,” Selene said, checking her painted nails. “You’re just lucky I didn’t use all my strength earlier. If I had, you wouldn’t be here spouting all this nonsense,” she added, her tone cold and unwavering.
Michelle’s eyes narrowed at Selene, a little stunned by her calm demeanor. She had expected Selene to be worried about the possibility of an article being released about the accident, but instead, she seemed utterly unbothered.
Earlier, she had made her assistant Mia record everything from the best angle secretly, and in a few hours, the video will be released.
Although Xavier would have it taken down immediately, she would be satisfied with the damage it would cause to Selene’s career.
“You just wait and see what I will do to you, Selene. This isn’t where it’s going to end, trust me. This is just the beginning. You’ve had your fun humiliating me, now it’s my turn, and this time, I will make sure to rub it in your face,” Michelle threatened with an evil grin on her lips.
But whatever she said, Selene simply gave her a blank look as if tired of hearing her talk nonstop.
“Did you call me in here just to tell me all this nonsense, Michelle? You really need to come up with better dialogue because I’m getting tired of hearing you repeat the same thing over and over again,” Selene said lazily, rolling her eyes.
Even though she wasn’t sure exactly what Michelle had been planning against her, she had predicted she would do something.
“But now that you have made your move, it would be unfair if I don’t repay you, right?” Selene asked, a grin playing on her lips.
Michelle’s smirk faltered, wondering what Selene meant. Having Xavier by her side, Selene could do anything she wanted to her, and now, she became slightly afraid.
“You should just stay in bed and rest, hmm?” Selene turned, about to leave but Michelle stopped her.
“Where is Richard?” She questioned. “I have a feeling you had something to do with his disappearance. Where did you keep him p>
Selene scoffed when she heard Richard’s name. She had visited the hideout a few days ago, and he seemed to want to give up on his life already.
She met Mark at the hideout that time and he had been feeding him with many drugs that would heal his injuries, just so that more could be inflicted.
“Richard? What business do you think I can have with Richard? I told you I didn’t see him, but even if I did, why would I keep him? He’s an animal,” she said nonchalantly. “Maybe you should focus more on finding your husband instead of me. If you had been doing that, I’m sure you would have found him by now,” Selene added.
Without waiting for Michelle to spew out more words, Selene left the hospital room.
“It seems I will have to get Dad to dispose of her like he did with Anastasia,” Michelle mumbled, her fist clenching the covers on the bed.
Outside, director Jeunes saw Selene stepping out of the hospital room with a smile on her face. They had assumed that the both of them would probably argue since they were no longer friends, plus the incident that occurred.
“How did the talk go?” Director Jeunes asked.
“It went well. Honestly, I don’t know what happened earlier. I was just holding the sword and the next thing, Michelle was already bleeding. Director Jeunes, can you please have someone inspect the swords? Because I’m sure that some people are already thinking that I intentionally switched the swords to pay Michelle back for what she did to me,” Selene said without holding back while she glanced at the crew who were giving her side eyes.
Director Jeunes nodded in understanding.
“I already had someone check that out. The swords are going to be inspected and we will find out who had them misplaced like that,” he said.
“What’s the point of doing that, director Jeunes? It’s obvious Selene was the one who had them misplaced. She probably wanted to get back at Michelle for what she did to her at the villa,” someone said.
Selene recognized her as an upcoming actress just like herself, and one of Michelle’s followers too.
“What did you just say?” Selene questioned.
