Selena said, “The Nelson family’s financial situation is not optimistic, right? You giving me shares in the company is equivalent to leaving a sh*t ton of debt for me. Grandpa, do you hate me that much? You sold off my happiness, and now you want to sell my life away? You want me to rely on Derek and please him just to get the money while sacrificing myself, so that I can take care of that useless bunch that’s the Nelson family, right?”
Selena finally stood up as she talked.
Her face was cold, and every time she took a breath, she could feel a tingling pain in her heart.
The person on the bed looked shocked. His face was dark and livid, and his eyes became cold and harsh in an instant.
Orville breathed heavily.
“You...”
Selena took a deep breath, sneered, and looked down at the dying old man. She sounded relieved.
“Today, I thought you wanted me to come so that we can reconcile. I was willing to, but the grandpa that I respected so much back then is still thinking of using me at the last moment. Is it because I’m not your biological granddaughter?”
The last sentence was like a bolt from the blue.
The old man’s face changed instantly and was distorted.
He was short of breath as he pointed at her with trembling arms and tried to say something.
However, Selena did not give him a chance to speak. She did not even glance at him.
She turned and left.
“He went to look for you? He took my money and promised he wouldn’t tell you this secret...”
Orville spoke with a trembling voice.
The next second, the door was closed.
Selena came out, wiped the tears from her eyes, and looked at the people at the door.
Their wolf-like eyes seemed to be speculating what happened inside just now.
They wondered if Orville Nelson had left all his property to Selena.
Selena’s uncle rushed in with a big stride. His voice was trembling and shocked.
“Dad… Dad… Call the doctor quickly! He’s out of breath...”
Everyone was in a panic, so they did not bother about Selena.
Selena walked out in a daze and left all these behind her.
When she was about to leave the hospital.
A hand grabbed her arm.
The man dragged her into the stairwell, which was quiet and private.
Her uncle’s livid face appeared in front of her eyes.
Selena pursed her lips and was not in a hurry.
He held the will tightly in his hand and threw it on her face as he said with a gloomy tone, “The old man is just sick and confused. How could he leave all the shares to you? What contribution have you made to the Nelson family? Do you think I will ever work for you?”
Selena kept silent.
She felt that the sadness in her heart had dissipated.
She flashed a harmless and gentle smile.
“I know. That’s why I didn’t accept it, and I won’t accept it. Uncle, don’t worry. I won’t ask for a penny from the Nelson family.”
Her uncle’s expression was complicated and cold. He looked at her with some vigilance.
“Seriously?”
Selena smiled, looked at the will, and said with understanding, “You can destroy the will, and no one will know. The Nelson family will always be yours. From the moment I married Derek, I was no longer a member of the Nelson family. So, naturally, I’m not entitled to take anything from the Nelson family.”
Selena would also not pay back any debts for the Nelson family.
Hearing her words, her uncle eased his expression.
He nodded. “At least you’re sensible. The old man didn’t raise you for nothing. In fact, he regrets marrying you off to Derek and making you suffer. That’s why he looked for opportunities to make it up to you. But you ran away without saying a word. Derek came to the house many times to make trouble, and the old man was angry because of it. It’s all settled now. You can take care of your own affairs. Don’t meddle in the Nelson family’s matters.”
When Selena heard this, she found it to her liking.
She nodded obediently.
“Goodbye, Uncle.”
“Your grandfather’s funeral...”
Her uncle frowned and thought about the next steps.
Did Selena hate the old man so much to just leave like this?
Selena took a deep breath.
