Chapter 268 I Want to Ruin Her
In the blink of an eye, Selena whipped out a bottle of pepper spray and aimed it right at Nick's eyes.
"What the hell!"
Nick's eyes burned like fire, and he couldn't open them as tears streamed down his face.
Selena knew Nick was up to no good, so she came prepared before heading to the office.
Breaking free, she grabbed a chair nearby and smashed it over Nick without a second thought.
Nick screamed and fell to the side, but he didn't pass out.
Still fuming, Selena kicked him where it hurt the most.
Nick's screams got louder, his face turning pale from the pain as he curled up into a ball, drenched in cold sweat.
He wanted to pass out but couldn't; the pain kept him wide awake.
Beatrice burst through the door. When she saw Nick writhing on the ground, her eyes went wide.
"Selena, what did you do to Nick?"
Selena knew someone was outside. When Nick came in earlier and grabbed her waist, it was clear he was determined to go through with his plan today.
She thought it was his bodyguard outside, but it turned out to be Beatrice.
Beatrice rushed to slap Selena, but Selena caught her wrist and slapped her back. Beatrice clutched her face, stunned.
"You dare hit me?"
"That slap's for knowing what your son was up to and still helping him!"
Beatrice wasn't as young as Selena, and with Nick still groaning on the ground, she grew anxious. Her body shook with anger.
"Selena, just you wait. If anything happens to Nick, you'll be rotting in jail!"
Selena calmly picked up her phone from the ground, which was still recording.
When Nick had knocked the phone out of her hand, she had accidentally hit the record button.
So everything Nick said was captured.
"Beatrice, if you dare call the cops, I'll make sure your son ends up in jail. Even in court, it'll be self-defense."
Selena chuckled, looking at the still-twitching Nick. "If you don't get him to a hospital soon, your family line might end here."
"You!"
Beatrice's scalp tingled with anger, not expecting Selena to have recorded everything.
She quickly helped Nick up, glaring hatefully at Selena.
Selena raised an eyebrow, put her phone in her pocket, and walked out.
"You bitch!"
"Bitch!"
Beatrice's angry shouts echoed behind her, but Selena didn't care.
Coming to the office this time, she gained nothing but disgust.
The surveillance footage related to Paddy showed nothing.
Either the footage was deliberately deleted, just like at the bar.
If that's the case, then the person responsible for Paddy's death must be within the company.
But who could it be?
Her personal abilities were limited, so she had to wait for the police investigation.
Selena visited Paddy's wife, who was with her family due to excessive grief, while others handled the funeral.
Selena wanted to persuade the Lewis family to delay the burial since the police hadn't concluded their investigation.
However, she wasn't familiar with them, and with Paddy's last message sent to her, she feared their emotions might be directed at her.
Paddy's death left her uneasy, sensing a looming conspiracy.
"Beatrice, the doctor checked Nick's injuries. They think he won't be able to have kids anymore."
Hearing this, Beatrice felt as if she had been struck by lightning, standing in disbelief.
How could this be?
From the ward came Nick's painful wails, "That bitch! I want her dead! I want to destroy her!"
Having probably heard the doctor's words, Nick was consumed with rage, his mind filled with thoughts of Selena.
Nick thought, 'That damn bitch, I will ruin her eventually!'
