A Lifetime With You

Chapter 42

Kelly was enraged when the media released the news. So, she quickly shared a live post on her social media to prove that three of them ate dinner together yesterday. However, only a few netizens believed it. Some of her supporters even thought that she had been blinded by love as she still defended the scumbag.

Within seconds, the phrase “the poor Kelly” was trending nationwide. She was so furious and she broke some porcelain bowls to vent out her anger. Meanwhile, Selden was very calm, “Everyone, including the netizens, is asking you to break up with a jerk like me… maybe we should just break up.” “What kind of nonsense is that?” Kelly quickly hugged him and said, “I know that everyone is reprimanding you, including my fans. I know you don’t feel too happy about that, but don’t be angry, okay?”

He broke free from her hug silently and rejected her intimacy.

“I’m not angry. You’ve been throwing a tantrum since just now.”

Kelly was a little gutted. Selden had never behaved affectionately towards her ever since he agreed to start a relationship with her. So, he refused to hug and kiss her, let alone having sex. He was indeed a guy that looked like a playboy, but had a conservative mindset. “Others don’t believe in you, but I do,” she said. Selden chuckled and murmured, “What if I’m not trustworthy?”

“What?”

“Nothing, didn’t you want to hold a press conference to clarify this news? You’d better get ready quickly.” He stood up as he urged her to go and change her clothes quickly.

Kelly’s clarification conference was broadcasted live on a certain website.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Damien was in his office as he watched the live video. Then, he turned it off after a short while.

He was holding onto Ava’s phone after he snatched it from her. Then, he unlocked the screen lock easily with a simple passcode. He had known that Kelly was there with them from the chat log. However, this photo was snapped secretly and posted on the Internet, so it seemed as though someone had schemed on them deliberately. “The Sunshine Newspaper was the earliest news agency to share this photo, go and investigate this matter with them,” he told his secretary.

The Radbury Group’s publicity department was extremely efficient. So, they found and contacted the reporter who was in charge of that news article. But the reporter said, “I didn’t take this photo, we received it from someone who sent it via email.

Damien immediately sent someone to get the IP address of the mailbox. It was from the Nagel family. Indeed, it was Beth Nagel. She was still as stubborn as usual. He held Ava’s phone tightly within his fist and his eyes instantly iooked gloomy. “Dempsey, go and get Beth Nagel here.” After half an hour later, Beth was escorted forcefully by Damien’s men to the Nagel Group’s office. Dempsey was very polite when she invited Beth, which gave Beth the wrong impression that Damien had seen Ava’s true colors. She even assumed that he had decided to go back to her. When she entered the office, she saw Damien staring at the top trending news on his laptop. Beth quickly faked a smile and said, “Damien, don’t be angry. This time, my sister went a bit over the line. But, you can rest assured that my parents and I will always support the truth. If you decide to divorce her…” “Beth, I told you last time, don’t you ever do anything that will offend me.” Damien interrupted her with an icy tone. The smile on her face froze. “Damien, I don’t understand, what are you saying?” Damien’s gaze was threatening when he stared at Beth. His expression sent an icy chill down her spine, which immediately halted her laughter. Could it be that he had dug up the truth? That was impossible… He didn’t get angry and divorce Ava right away after he saw the photo, but he had investigated the photographer instead? “Damien, I… listen to my explanation!”

She rushed to Damien and said with a miserable tone, “I am doing this for a good reason. I don’t want you to be deceived by Ava, that b*tch. She used to have an ambiguous relationship with Selden! Damien, a sl*t like her doesn’t deserve to be by your side!” “So are you saying that you deserve to be with me?”

Damien stared revoltingly at her hand which was placed on his knee. She felt a jolt of fear, so she immediately retracted her hand. “Damien, I’m just trying to tell you the truth. If Ava dares to blatantly flirt with Selden in front of you, what kind of nasty things could they have done behind closed doors?” “Shut the f*ck up!” Damien got enraged instantly and kicked her aside. “I don’t need someone else to act on my behalf,” he said coldly, “Beth, if you do something like this again, I will make sure that you won’t be able to show your face in this city ever again.” Her eyes widened in disbelief as she had never expected that Damien would be so protective of Ava until this extent…

How could she have never noticed that Damien had always defended Ava all along! “Hahahaha.. I see, Damien, you are so pathetic,”Beth suddenly burst into laughter. Damien frowned and wondered what tricks did this woman have up her sleeves.

If it weren’t for the fact that she was part of the Nagel family, he would have killed this wicked wench a long time ago. “Damien, you don’t dare to admit that Ava is just leeching on the power and wealth of your family, right? How can she possibly have sincere feelings for you? She used underhanded means to marry you, but somehow there is another guy in her heart!” Suddenly, the guard outside rushed in and he was about to drag Beth away after Damien gave a signal. “Her laughter was becoming more hysterical, “They had known each other for more than ten years, do you really believe that their friendship is pure? You’re so stupid! Hahaha…” Damien was still sitting in his office and his expression became extremely terrifying. There can’t be pure friendships between the opposite sex… She was always thinking of someone else deep inside… Beth’s words kept echoing in his mind. Soon, he was so irritated that he swept everything on his desk to the floor angrily. Dempsey was shocked when she saw the mess all over the floor when she came in, but she didn’t utter a single word. He stifled his

simmering anger and looked up. Then, he said, “Contact the Nagel family and asked them to send Beth abroad under the pretense of further studies. Don’t let her come back for a few years.” “Noted.” Meanwhile, Beth was thrown out of the building by the Radbury Group’s security guard. This was her first time being humiliated and thrown out in public, which made her hatred for Ava grow even more. “Ava, it’s all because of you!” Beth cursed fiercely. If it weren’t for her… everything unfortunate in Beth’s life happened because of Ava, who was the b*stard child of her father’s mistress! “Just you wait, I won’t you let you off easily!”
