My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 73

Chapter 73: Fired From Her Work
Selene stared at Michelle with confusion etched on her face. She wasn’t surprised that Michelle was the one who sent Richard the other time since she had figured that out already. But what confused her was why Michelle was asking her for the whereabouts of Richard. It made no sense to her.

“What are you talking about?” Selene questioned Michelle.

Michelle was slightly stunned when she didn’t see that Selene was shocked by what she had just said.

‘Could it be that Richard bailed at the last minute or he was caught? Which is it?’ Michelle wondered. Each time she tried to figure out Richard’s whereabouts, she would always land at square one.

“The day I sent Richard to rape you, he didn’t come back home. What did you do to him?” She questioned Selene.

Even though Robert wasn’t sure about their conclusion the last time they discussed Richard, there was still a high chance that Selene might have done something to Richard, or so she thought.

“What are you saying?” Selene questioned Michelle with a deep frown etched on her face. “You don’t even have any shame for what you just said. You sent Richard to rape me and the other day, you connived with Edna and Miranda to taint my reputation, what did I ever do to you?” She added.

Michelle was stunned by Selene’s sudden change of personality. She was too stunned to speak so her mouth hung open without any words coming out of it.

Selene took a deep breath before sighing, an evil grin on her lips.

“Yes, I did see Richard. He attempted to rape me but someone helped me out, and because of that I wasn’t raped by your disgusting husband,” Selene said.

Michelle gritted her teeth before questioning, “And who helped you out?”

“Why should I tell you that?” Selene questioned back.

All that she could remember was Xavier coming to her aid that night. But if Michelle hasn’t seen Richard ever since, it could only mean two things.

Either Richard ran away because of the fear he had for his brother, or Xavier did something to Richard.

Selene went with the former since she couldn’t think of anything Xavier could have done to Richard. He was his brother after all.

Michelle clenched her fist tightly in rage. She could see that Selene was trying to mess with her. But what she didn’t know was that Selene also wasn’t exactly sure what happened to Richard after that night.

“You’d better bring back Richard wherever you kept him or else…”

“Or else what?” Selene cut her off.

Taking a threatening step toward Michelle, Selene towered over her—she was taller than Michelle after all.

“You are in no position to make demands Michelle, not at all, especially after what you have done. You don’t even know if I’m recording this conversation or not. If another scandal about you gets released, your career will go poof.”

Selene made a gesture with her hand and waved it in the air as if flinging something away.

She stared at Michelle with a bright smile on her lips.

“You shouldn’t mess with me, Michelle. Also, I would advise you not to plan anything against me for now, because you are a hot topic on the internet. If something bad happens to me, you would be the first suspect,” Selene added.

She watched as Michelle struggled for a comeback but her brain refused to cooperate with her.

“See you at the set tomorrow,” Selene winked at her.

Without waiting for Michelle to struggle any harder, Selene strode toward one of the empty cubicles while Michelle’s glare burned in her back.

“That bitch!” Michelle yelled out. She was already starting to sweat profusely even though there was an air con in the restroom.

One of the staff walked in to use the restroom but when she saw the angry expression on Michelle, she hesitated a little.

“Get out!” Michelle ordered.

With her head lowered a little out of respect, the staff replied, “But ma’am, you don’t have the right to tell me that. You don’t work here anymore.”

Michelle glared at the staff before grabbing her purse and stomped away.

After using the restroom, Selene shrugged her shoulders when she didn’t find Michelle there anymore. She went to meet the lawyer who explained everything to Selene and she was content with it. Her dream of being Klerene’s global ambassador had finally come true.

Selene didn’t need to go to the set that day because she didn’t have any scenes to shoot. She would have gone if she wanted to but she decided to stay home instead. Wearing those heavy royal gowns stressed her.

“Oh my, I already have a headache because of that bitch Michelle,” Selene mumbled to herself.

The house was empty as always, but the maid’s faint voices could still be heard. Either they were discussing frivolous things or gossiping behind her back, Selene didn’t care.

She marched towards her room, took a shower, and went to Xavier’s room.

Selene sneaked in even though there was no one in there. This was the first time she was going to his room in his absence. If she didn’t need the painkillers, she wouldn’t have stepped foot into his room.

“Where is the first aid kit? I remember seeing painkillers in there,” Selene mumbled to herself.

She searched the closet where she took the painkillers from the day she held Xavier’s bandage up his bleeding shoulders, but she didn’t see it there.

She searched thoroughly, hoping she didn’t miss it but it resulted in the same thing.

Frowning, she went to his walk-in closet to search. She could have waited to admire his suits but her head was banging.

“Where is it?”

Searching at a corner, she moved a piece of clothing aside and she found the first aid kit she was looking for.

“Finally.”

When she was about to take the box, her gaze landed on something else.

Picking up the object, her eyes widened in shock.
