Chapter 0086: Accused of theft
Once Max was done informing Commissioner Watson that he'd caught the runaway police officer who most likely had connections to Mister K, he returned only to be met with a most uncanny exclamation."She's a thief!" Max waded through the angry mob to find Selena at the center of it with a scared expression on her face as she tried without much success to convince the people that she wasn't a thief."I'm not a thief, I didn't steal anything." She said.***Thirty minutes ago,Cherry Kane was the daughter of Catherine Kane, chairman of Kane Clothing, one of the upcoming clothing lines in Metro City.Cherry was also Selena's classmate when they were in college and had always been in conflict with Selena because Selena was considered by their mates to be the most beautiful girl in college.Cherry despised Selena for taking attention away from her during their college years and always hated the fact that she was unable to pay back Selena for that.So imagine her surprise when she saw Selena
Chapter 0085: A bullfrog
Andre's expression turned sour as he glared at her causing Selena to grow apprehensive.Naturally, she didn't back down and tried to diffuse the situation amicably. “Perhaps, another time. I'm actually not alone.”“So what are you trying to say?... That you'd rather be with that person than be with me?... Do you even know how many women are dying to be with me, yet you dare to say this?”“Look, I'm not interested, okay?... Why is that such a big deal?” Selena inquired, unsure of why Andre was so intent on making things difficult for her.“You bitch!” Andre was just about to act with his hand raised when Max's voice was heard.“Touch her and you will not only lose the ability to touch anything again, your entire family will lose whatever measly connections it has in the movie industry.”Andre trembled at the words as he glanced ahead to find Max approaching with a stern look on his face causing Andre to grow apprehensive as he immediately dropped his hand back down. Meanwhile, those w
Chapter 0084: A dead target
Meanwhile, intentionally or unintentionally, Max remained oblivious to the situation as he got to his feet while addressing Selena. “Come on, let's go.” Selena nodded as she moved forward and took his arm, catching Max off guard.This simple gesture also caused several people watching to grow quite envious.Though they were aware that Max had no bad intentions, it didn't stop them from feeling like he was a bit too lucky.Of course, none dared to voice their complaints and could only watch in despair as Max walked out of the building with Selena.It wouldn't be long before a small token was transferred to the fashion line as an incentive for a job well done.An uproar broke out at the shocking news.***Selena had come to realize that Max was a reserved man with a mysterious background.He was also someone who respected those who respected him while being ruthless to those who dared to offend him.The most important part was that he seemed to take good care of his employees, ensuring
Chapter 0083: Looking good
After they'd left the hospital, Max took her to the fashion line to get some new clothes to change into, because the dress she'd borrowed from Emerald Garden was completely destroyed, and she was currently still wearing a patient's garb.Once at The Fashion Line, Selena began to slowly understand the amount of power at Max's disposal as she was treated akin to a princess after he'd told the workers what he wanted from them.They were to listen to her requests and ensure that they carried them out to the letter.She'd never been treated with such priority before devoid of any hidden intent.It was at that moment she realized that Max didn't need to be interested in her, as he would have several beautiful damsels waiting to jump into his arms at the slightest mention, which went without saying that his words about not being attracted to her were unequivocally true.Regardless, she found herself wondering if she could enjoy such treatment forever but ended up snapping out of that dream a
Chapter 0082: A giant among men
Selena let out a sigh. “I thought I'd be able to get funding from the concert, so after I sold most of my clothes for some cash to help out in the orphanage, I borrowed an outfit from Emerald Garden, which is what I've been wearing for the past two days. Of course, it's ruined now so I have to find a way to pay for that.”“It must have been hard.”“Tell me about it, no matter where I go, hoping that they would see my talent, they would all end up asking for the same thing. The last record deal I had, I ended up getting kicked out all because I didn't want to sleep with the owner. They say beauty is a good thing but in my case, it's been nothing but a curse.”“You should know that there are good people.”Selena flashed a saddened smile at that moment as she replied. “I thought so too, that was why I trusted Carl. You know, there was one time I had tried to scar myself, but he stopped me, saying that I shouldn't do so. Who'd have thought he'd end up doing something so despicable?”Letti
Chapter 0081: Meeting Selena once again
“Breaking news, Miss Selena Miller has been found and has since debunked the rumors claiming that Max Augustus had kidnapped her. Instead, she claims that her manager was in cahoots with an unnamed figure to stain Max Augustus’s image and so tried to do so by using her.”“According to reports, Max Augustus has been absolved of the kidnapping but with recent news claiming that he killed law enforcement officers, it remains to be seen how this situation will pan out.”As NBS disseminated an update on the situation concerning Maximilian and Selena, it was relatively easy to pick out the media houses that disseminated false news concerning Selena's kidnapping and after that, it was even easier to demand compensation or risk a complete humiliation in court.The published news was taken down and the media houses were forced to issue an official apology to Max Augustus for what could only be regarded as an attack on his person.Naturally, Max didn't hold it against them as he was aware that
