Chapter 74
It’s him again?! Why won’t this guy ever give up?! Irritated and annoyed, Selena gritted her teeth
and eximed, “What does this guy want from me?!”
Unaware of what was going on, Juniper asked, “What did you just say, Mommy?”
“Nothing.”
“Mom, why do your lips look so red? They seem to be swollen. Are you not feeling well?”
After hearing Juniper, Selena subconsciously touched her lips. This is all thanks to that b*stard!
Nheless, she didn’t want her daughter to know what happened earlier, so she had no choice
but to lie to her. “Oh, that’s because I took some spicy fries when I was waiting for you.”
Juniper pouted. “Hmph! You secretly ate the good stuff again!”
“They’re not good stuff. They’re junks,” Selena replied to Juniper’s words while setting her eyes on
‘Venom’. Then, she was followed by Pierre until she entered her residential area. After that, she
parked outside her house and impatiently got out of her car, stomping toward the man. As she was
about to confront Pierre and questioned him, she saw him parking his car outside the house next
door before he walked up to the entrance and inserted his key into the keyhole. What?! Is he living
next door all this time?! When Pierre entered the house, she was instantly left with her mouth wide
agape.
Damn! So, this guy has been my ‘neighbor’ all the time? No wonder it didn’t take him long to show
up every time we met up. Soon, Selena realized that the window in her bedroom on the second
floor was facing one of the windows in Pierre’s house. I could see what he’s doing from there, but
he could also do the same, couldn’t he? The thought of that immediately gave her goosebumps as
she wondered what Pierre was really up to.
What does this creepy guy want from me? Selena couldn’t shake off the scary thought that Pierre
had been her neighbor all the time without telling her. For the rest of the day, she was disturbed by
that, appearing to be absent-mindedter when she was cooking. During their meal, Juniper
seemingly saw through her mother’s feelings and asked, “Mom, are you alright? You don’t look
happy.”
“Juniper, that man is just living next door. Do you think we should move out?”
Despite Selena’s desperation to stay away from Pierre, she couldn’t bear to leave their house deep
down. Back when they were in Springvale, she had to live a nomadic lifestyle with her daughter.
Without a fixed ce to stay, both of them had long grown tired of the lifestyle. Furthermore, she
had specially designed the house for Juniper, which she reckoned would be a waste to just leave it
like that.
“Why should we move? He should be the one doing that! Mr. Idiot is so loathsome! If we move, that
means we’re scared of him! I’m not scared of him!” Juniper angrily uttered. After all, she couldn’t
ept the fact that the man, whom she used to like, had betrayed her mother.

Selena ruffled Juniper’s hair and said, “Alright, we will not fear him. We’ll live here as we wish!”
Despite her determined words, Selena’s heart still sank, as she was nning to forget him and
move on. Nheless, with him living next door, he would never be out of her sight and hence out
of her mind. Even if she didn’t see him, she would still be reminded of him every time she saw his
house. How am I supposed to forget about him?
The next morning, Selena was about to take Juniper to the kindergarten just when she ran into
Pierre, who was also setting off for his office. At the sight of the man, the little girl made a face at
him, while the adults didn’t bother to exchange eye contact.
Soon, Pierre arrived at Empire Group and sat down in his office. Then, he was seen crossing his
legs, his finger tapping the table with a pair of furrowed brows on his face. At that moment, his
piercing gaze seemed like a sharp, cold de that could cut through anything. I used to think that I
must keep my identity a secret, but now that my cover has been blown, it doesn’t seem like a bad
thing either.
Not long after that, Niall knocked on the door and ced the documents that were needed for the
meeting on the table.
