Chapter 81

“You’re still the most meticulous, Alice. Selena complimented her.

Alice glanced at Selena. Her red lips displayed a faint smile, and she said. “Selena.……

Selena shuddered inexplicably. For some reason, Alice’s gaze sent chills down her spine. She was as if being watched by a

venomous snake.

But soon she composed herself, looking at Alice obediently, and asked, “Alice, what’s the matter?”

“We’re on the same boat now. You won’t be foolish enough to betray us, will you?” Alice smiled gently and said.

Selena felt a jolt of alarm deep down, but her expression remained unchanged. “Alice, what are you saying? I am where I am today because of you. How could I ever betray you?” she said..

Jeanie idly played with her nails as she warned Selena, “Selena, you know what kind of people my sister and I are. If you dare to betray us, you know the consequences.”

Selena clenched her hands tightly but smiled gently. “Don’t worry. I’ll never betray you; I’m not that stupid,” she said.

“Good girl,” said Jeanie patting Selena’s head as if she were a pet.

They gave me three million dollars and agreed to let me go to Vogue Magazine.” In between their conversation, she sounded disdainful. “So stingy! Just three million dollars, and they call themselves wealthy families!” she cursed.

Hailey laughed heartily on the other end and said, “You should be grateful that you received three million dollars for free.”

Suzanne pursed her lips and said. “I recorded our conversation. What should I do next? Are all your manuscripts really gone!”

Hailey reassured her, “I have backups of all my manuscripts, so don’t worry. For now, stay home and keep a low profile. Try to avoid going out too often, and it’s best not to contact me for the time being, as I’m concerned they might harm you. Selena will likely hold a press conference when more drama unfolds.”

Suzanne nodded and said, “Got it. Alice is a very scheming person. You need to be careful.”

“I will,” Hailey said. After chatting briefly, they hung up.
