Chapter 17 Are You Jealous?
- Once they were in the office, Dimitri let go of her hand and strode to the desk before starting to tap on the keyboard.
- Meanwhile, Selena crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at him with a casual look. "Fiancée? I thought you didn't recognize my status all this while, Dimitri. What's wrong? Why are you not letting me have dinner with another man? Are you jealous?"
- Hearing that, he scoffed with contempt in his eyes.
- "Jealous? Do you think that's possible?" He took a sip of coffee and said coldly, "It's a fact that you're my fiancée now. If you're seen having dinner with a star like Rowan, it will affect my image and the Hayden Group's reputation."
- At this moment, the smile on Selena's face started to fade gradually.
- "If you really want to have dinner with him, you can propose to annul this engagement to Grandpa. After that, I won't interfere with whatever you want to do with him."
- When she heard that, she was so angry that she was grinding her teeth. She pressed her lips together and said, "I'm not going to do that."
- Dimitri scoffed and didn't say anything more. After he shut down the computer, they left the office together.
- Meanwhile, Jason was indeed at the villa. When he saw Dimitri and Selena, he ignored his own grandson right away and went up to hold Selena's hand.
- "How have you been these days, Serena? Did this guy bully you?"
- "He didn't, Grandpa," Selena replied to him with a smile.
- "Good, then. Quick, come and take a look. I've asked people to prepare a lot of presents for you."
- In fact, she had seen all the luxurious items on the table as soon as she came in. When she went over and took a closer look, she felt even more shocked.
- There were all sorts of makeup, jewelries, accessories, and clothes placed on the table. On top of that, they were all limited edition pieces from luxury brands.
- "Grandpa, these are too costly. I can't accept them."
- "What are you talking about? You're part of the Hayden Family. These are not big deal."
- In the end, Selena didn't say anything more. She could only thank him with a smile, saying, "Thank you, Grandpa."
- Meanwhile, Dimitri was completely ignored as he stood by the side. Among all the things that Jason brought here, none of them were his. Interestingly, he was Jason's blood-related grandson.
- After dinner, Jason dragged Dimitri into the study to talk.
- Just then, Selena recalled what that person had instructed her to do. After thinking for a while, she got up and returned to her room to take the bottle of drug. Then, she poured two cups of water and drugged one of them before going to the study.
- At this moment, she heard Jason's voice from the inside. "It's been a few months since I came here, but your villa has really changed a lot. It looks like it's all because of Serena."
- Dimitri didn't say anything, so Jason continued to say, "I know you always think that she has some ulterior motives, but after so many days, she didn't even use the card I gave her to spend on anything. She doesn't want our money, Dimitri—I can tell. Serena doesn't have any malice in her. She's a really good lady. Why not try to build a relationship with her?"
- When Selena heard that, she didn't feel very good inside, for she didn't know that there was someone who trusted her this much in this wealthy family. Is Old Mr. Hayden really such a bad person like they claim?
- At this moment, she started to hesitate. Her grip on the tray tightened, and she felt really uneasy as she knew that this drug wasn't a good thing. What should I do now…
- Then, she looked at the mountain of luxurious items on the table downstairs. Throughout all these years, this was the first time she met someone who treated her so well, even though she was borrowing Serena Young's name.
- In the end, she couldn't do it. She went downstairs and poured the two cups of water away.
- Jason left the villa a while later, and Dimitri left at night as well since he had a meeting.
- Meanwhile, Selena lay on the bed and recalled the earlier scene. She was feeling a little uneasy since this was the first time she had gone against the person's order.
- Just then, her phone sounded. It was a message notification.
- 'New mission: Hayden Group is bidding for a piece of land in Toush. Get the floor price of Dimitri's bid in three days.''
- Seeing that, she frowned slightly. There was no choice for her other than to accept this mission.
- She vaguely remembered that the document that Dimitri brought back today was related to that piece of land in Toush.
- Now that he was having a meeting outside, it was extremely good timing.
- However, his study was always locked, so she couldn't enter the room openly.
- After some thought, she opened her laptop and her fingers tapped on the keys swiftly. Within seconds, the surveillance footage of the villa was shown on screen.
- Seeing that, a smirk tugged on her lips. Then, she changed her shirt just in case and jumped out of the window after wearing a cap and mask.
- She dodged all the surveillance cameras in the villa from memory and entered the study room through the window. Very quickly, she found the document about the bid on the table.
- At this moment, there was a nonchalant smile in her eyes. She took photos of the document and placed it back in the original position before leaving.
- Just then, the sound of the key unlocking the door came from outside.
- Hearing that, the smile on her face faded at once as her eyes widened. Dimitri is back!
