SWNOVELS Chapter 475: Invitation from Afar
As soon as Harvey Fieldmouse finished speaking, he felt a chill down his spine. He turned around to see Selene Cove standing right behind him. Harvey Fieldmouse greeted her with a smile, "Hi, Selene Ice... I mean, Selene." He was embarrassed, having misspoken.
Selene Cove gave Harvey Fieldmouse a cold glance but said nothing. Meredith came down the stairs and asked, "Selene Cove, have you had breakfast?" Selene Cove nodded, "Yes." She wasn't as cold in front of Meredith. Harvey Fieldmouse wanted to complain but was afraid of getting beaten up. He valued his life more, so he signaled to Terrence Sterling, indicating that he wanted Selene Cove as his bodyguard. Such an intimidating bodyguard would make him feel incredibly safe.
Harvey Fieldmouse had received warning letters for two consecutive days, threatening his life and telling him to be prepared for death in seven days. Reporting to the police was useless; they couldn't even find out who sent the letters. Harvey Fieldmouse couldn't remember who he might have offended. He had many romantic entanglements and was known as a playboy who changed women frequently. Despite his behavior, many women still flocked to him because he was generous with money.
Not knowing who wanted to harm him, Harvey Fieldmouse lived in constant fear, unable to eat or sleep well. Terrence Sterling calmly said, "You made this mess; you clean it up yourself. If you want Selene Cove as your bodyguard, ask her yourself." Terrence Sterling spoke loudly on purpose so that even a deaf person could hear it. He wanted Selene Cove to hear.
Hearing this, Harvey Fieldmouse felt both nervous and embarrassed and didn't dare look directly at Selene Cove. Meredith asked curiously, "Harvey Fieldmouse, what trouble are you in?" Harvey Fieldmouse sighed, "Someone wants me dead. They sent me a warning letter saying they'll kill me in seven days. I'm here to hide out. Selene, can you help me out and be my bodyguard for a few days? I'll pay whatever you want; I have plenty of money."
Harvey Fieldmouse really saw Selene Cove as just a bodyguard-albeit one who looked better and had a stronger presence than most. It made him feel safer. Even Terrence Sterling didn't dare order or treat Selene Cove like a subordinate. Hearing Harvey Fieldmouse offer money to hire her amused Terrence Sterling.
Selene Cove flatly refused, "No." Harvey Fieldmouse stood up and asked, "Why not? My boss just said that if you agree, he'll let you go. Name your price per day." Selene Cove's expression remained cold, "I choose my clients based on their character. I don't take jobs from scumbags, heinous criminals, or ingrates."
Harvey Fieldmouse was speechless. "How am I a scumbag? I'm just trying to give every girl a home," he said defensively. "Even though I have many ex-girlfriends, they all speak highly of me. You can ask them."
Ignoring him, Selene Cove walked out of the yard. Harvey Fieldmouse shouted after her, "I'll pay more..." He chased after her.
Terrence Sterling turned to Meredith and said, "Let's leave them be and go have breakfast. Rowan is already in her early education class." Meredith was surprised, "Terrence Sterling, aren't you being too strict? She's only three months old." "She's at the golden stage of development," Terrence Sterling explained with a smile. "Developing her brain now will make learning easier later on. This is called winning at the starting line; my grandmother taught me this way when I was young."
Meredith patted his head affectionately, "No wonder you're so smart." Terrence Sterling held her hand and smiled, "Our daughter will definitely be smart with your excellent genes."
"Stop flattering me..." Before Meredith could finish speaking, her phone rang with an email notification. It was an invitation from Darcy DuMont in France to attend a royal wedding together with Terrence Sterling.
