Disgust crossed Jennifer's eyes instantly.
Selena had been pestering her recently. She'd show up at her company just to kick up a fuss from time to time. Jennifer was frustrated, to say the least.
As expected, Selena's shout attracted the attention of the passersby around them.
"That person should be Ms. Walsh, right? I heard that she got targeted by her relatives because of her behavior as a family ingrate."
"She's an ingrate, you say? I heard that she even beat people up! You see that lady who's the leader of the mob? I heard that she got beaten up by Ms. Walsh's husband! That poor lady was all tears when she told me her sob story last time!"
"Oh my… You can never judge anyone based on their cover, eh?"
A bunch of passersby began watching the drama while murmuring among themselves.
Selena might be useless in other things, but she was an absolute pro when it came to playing the victim.
"Hey, deal with your problem on your own." Daniel wanted nothing more than to watch Jennifer duke it out with her family, so he quickly backed away from her.
Jennifer just shot Daniel an angry look. "What the… Are you even a real man?"
"Shouldn't you know the answer to that question the best?" Daniel huffed coldly in return.
While the husband and wife argued among themselves, Selena rushed over to them right away. Clearly, Daniel was her target.
Daniel merely frowned slightly as he backed away from Selena.
His actions were akin to dripping blood into shark-infested waters. A bunch of elderly ladies rushed up to him instantly. Soon, they had him surrounded.
"That's the manipulative and disgusting guy I told you about! He had acted dumb for so many years just so he could work together with Jennifer to swindle money out of my pockets! Why haven't they received their divine retribution yet?"
"That's right! That motherfucker, Daniel, was the one who broke my leg! I'll have you know right now that I won't ever let this matter slide!"
Even Bryson stood up against Daniel. Then again, he had had a taste of Daniel's intimidation, so he only had the guts to run his mouth among the crowd.
He was very sure that Daniel dared not lay a finger on women.
"You, Selena! Especially you! Have you forgotten how you secured your emerald store back then? Moreover, have you forgotten that this moment would come back when you stomped all over my mother-in-law's memorial portrait while cursing at her out loud?"
Jennifer chuckled coldly before raising a hand to scratch at Selena's face.
At first, Daniel intended to enjoy the drama. But a cold glint soon crossed his eyes after hearing Jennifer's words.
Back then, Selena had kissed up to his mother, Pamela Davis, frequently. She'd even visit her during the holidays. But to think that she'd do such horrendous things right after Pamela passed away!
Then again, this made sense. Daniel could tell how hostile Selena was to Pamela based on how she treated his mother's things that were left in the warehouse.
Selena didn't expect that Jennifer would actually lay a hand on her. Soon, she was sporting bloody scratch marks on her cheek.
"Oh my god! You… You fucking cunt! That's it! I'm going to kill you!"
Selena clutched Jennifer by the hair, clearly having lost her mind.
But Jennifer was even crazier than Selena.
