Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

Chapter 87: I Don’t Want To Feel Like I Owe You



Selene knew exactly what brought on this fight. She still remembered what Jennifer’s gorgeous but evil-looking mother had said to her outside the court building.

Dan and Jennifer were sent to prison because of Clint’s evidence, and their families were angry about it. Selene had been expecting something like this to happen, and now the time had finally arrived.

Selene tried to call Clint but failed. Nobody ever picked up. In addition, she could have done little to help the situation anyway, so she stopped trying to call him.

The situation became more and more serious as time went on.

In the business field, conflicts like these were taken very seriously and were fought like war. There was also a lot on the line, such as jobs and smaller businesses. The repercussions could be felt far.

SSGB, which was Clint’s company in Houston, had also been indirectly affected by this. As soon as Clint left Houston to help his family deal with the problem, some ambitious managers did all they could to make SSGB shaky and unstable so they could take over during Clint’s absence. As a result, several programs that SSGB had invested in were badly affected.

Two months later, when spring was coming to an end, Selene saw Clint again. It wasn’t face-to-face but on TV. He was being interviewed by a group of reporters who had surrounded him.

He looked like he had lost weight, and he had dark circles under his eyes. His expression was serious and cold.

He stood there without answering the reporters’ questions and shook his hands in order to communicate his reluctance. Then, finally, his assistants helped him navigate through the crowd and leave.

Selene now knew that he had come back to Houston.

After hesitating, Selene finally dialed his number. To her surprise, Clint answered.

“Hey. Are you okay?” Clint asked, tiredness evident in his voice.

“I’ve been following the news. How’s your company doing?”

Clint kept silent for a while, then answered, “Don’t worry. It’s nothing serious.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I’ve been aware of these problems for a long time. It’s just that they suddenly came to the surface when I left Houston.”

“Can we meet?” Selene asked.

“Yes. I’ll have some free time tomorrow at lunch.” Clint replied.

The next day, Selene came to the restaurant ten minutes earlier. She had two checks in her bag. It had all the money that she and Austin could afford.

She had held a grudge towards Clint, but after he had sent Jennifer and Dan to prison, she had forgiven him.

But what was once between them was not the same..

Clint and Selene were both in different places than they had been before.

Selene had convinced herself that what Clint had done for her was only out of guilt- He had felt like he owed her something. But he hadn’t owed her anything.

So, she wanted to thank him and get this off her chest.

After a discussion with Austin, who always supported her, they raised 3 million dollars, 1 of which was from Harry. Her father had given her the money without asking any questions.

Even though $3 million was most likely nothing for someone like Clint, she did it as a way to show him her gratitude for what he had done for her.

Clint finally arrived and looked a little surprised when he saw her, but then smiled at her and down at the table.

“Long time no see.” Clint smiled slightly.

It had been nearly half a year since they had last met.

“Yes, long time no see.” Selene nodded. “How have you been recently?”

“I’ve been better than what they’re saying online.” Clint helplessly smiled.

“I’ve read that your family has been going through a very difficult time in Coastal City,” Selene said carefully.

Clint did not deny it, “Yes, there’s been some problems with the business. But my parents don’t care too much since they’ve been planning on retiring anyway. Now’s a good time for them to do so. So, they’re transferring business away.”

Selene seemed shocked.

“They’ve been considering moving to Australia for a few years now.”

He seemed quite casual about the whole thing.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Selene was deep in thought for a few moments. “What about you? I’ve heard that SSGB is experiencing some problems, too. Is it true?”

Clint sneered. “Yes, but I’ve got it under control. I knew there were some traitors in the company, so I intentionally made them think that I had no time to deal with them so that they would show their faces. They fell for it, and I’ve dealt with them.”

Gradually, his tired expression dissipated, and he put on a proud face. He belonged to the business world and was very confident in that area.

Then Selene called the waitress, and they both ordered some food.

It seemed that they’d said all they had to say, and they mainly stayed in silence while they ate.

After they finished eating, Selene took out the checks.

She had pulled the same move on him when she had previously attempted to give him money in order for him to leave her alone.

Back then, she was not as sure as now about the relationship between them.

She pushed the two checks to him.

Clint glanced at it and curiously looked at her.

“I don’t know if you actually need any money right now, but I don’t know any other ways I could help you.”

This time, Clint reacted very calmly and took the checks. ”Where did you get all this money from?”

“1 million is from Harry, and the rest is from Allan and me.”

Clint was silent for a while and put down the checks. “I appreciate the thought, but the company is doing fine financially. Besides, 3 million would do little if there was a serious problem.”

“I just wanted to show you my gratitude. I’ve caused all of this, and you sacrificed a lot to help me.” Then she paused for a while. “Besides, we probably won’t meet again for a long time, and I don’t want to feel like I owe you.”
