Chapter 392 There's a Streak of Ruthlessness
Shelley was fuming when she saw how ridiculous she looked.
"I was just jealous of your luck, finding such a lively guy. Now I should be jealous of him for being lucky enough to sleep with a gorgeous woman like you. You even took the initiative to take birth control pills and gave away your first time. I don't even know what to say to you. Take care of yourself!"
The more Shelley thought about it, the angrier she got. Just looking at the hickys on Selena's body, she knew how much that guy cherished her.
Calm and rational in business, shy and timid in bed—this was exactly the kind of woman men want!
Shelley took a deep breath.
"How about this, I know a celebrity who's good-looking. How about I set him up as your regular bed partner? His physique was a hot topic last week, and now he's the spokesperson for my family's jewelry brand. He has tens of millions of fans. Sleeping with a man like that wouldn't be a loss. I'll get his contact information right now and set up a meeting for tonight."
For someone like Shelley, who truly came from a wealthy family, celebrities were never out of reach.
Celebrities were just a bunch of data accumulated by the internet. To the truly wealthy, they were merely tools.
However, despite Shelley's open-mindedness, she never played around with people like that.
Seeing that Shelley was really about to make the call, Selena quickly stopped her.
"No, I really can't handle it."
As soon as she said she couldn't handle it, Shelley's face immediately took on a meaningful expression.
Selena awkwardly withdrew her hand.
She thought for a moment and then asked, "Is there any way to make a man less energetic?"
Shelley stared at her for a few seconds before bursting into laughter, leaning to the side.
Selena knew her comment was being laughed at. She really couldn't handle Raymond; if he ever had sex multiple times in a row, she felt she would die in bed. Raymond had an intensity in his bones.
Shelley laughed until she had tears in her eyes. She grabbed a tissue, wiped her eyes, then cupped Selena's flushed face with both hands.
"Selena, now I understand why that man is so rough with you. If I were a man, I'd want to wear you out too."
Selena couldn't stand hearing that and slapped her hands away.
"I'm serious."
Shelley tried to stifiled a laughter but got a stitch.
After a few minutes, she said, "Do you know how many women can't find pleasure in this kind of thing? Ninety percent of women are just acting in bed, just to avoid hurting a man's fragile ego. A truly skilled man is hard to come by. If this guy is really making you uncomfortable, those marks should be purple, which means pain. But these are pink, so he must be going easy on you."
Selena was a bit confused but had to admit that she did feel pleasure during her encounters with Raymond.
It was just that her body couldn't handle it.
Her private parts were probably swollen.
Shelley patted her on the shoulder.
"If you really don't want to have sex with him, just stop seeing him. Unless he has something on you?"
"No, I just wish he could last a bit shorter."
"You really don't know how good you have it. Count your blessings."
As soon as she finished speaking, she glanced at the clock on the wall.
"I have a lunch date with Philip. Gotta go. Selena, keep the gift. If that man does anything excessive, call me. I'm always available. Bye."
Shelley was always this fiery and quick.
Selena found it amusing. After organizing the things Shelley had given her and placing them on the bed, she blinked her tired eyes.
But she didn't dare to sleep. Instead, she picked up her phone and followed the news online. Suddenly, she sat up in bed when she saw the headline about Apex Holdings Group.
Bert had been detained for overseas crimes, and Apex Holdings Group was investigated that morning. They found issues of tax evasion and embezzlement by the higher-ups. The company was fined heavily, and half of the top executives were arrested. Bert could face up to twenty years in prison.
This was Raymond's doing. With just one word, he brought Apex Holdings Group to its knees, forcing it to use its assets to pay off debts.
It had been two hours since the news broke. The front page was filled with stories about Apex Holdings Group.
The people at Fair Group must be thrilled. The investigation meant their collaboration with Apex Holdings Group was off, and since it was Apex Holdings Group's fault, Fair Group had the right to cancel the partnership. The nearly billion-dollar debt that was looming over them was now canceled.
