"No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Wilson," Selina refused without hesitation. "I can get back on my own."David thought of Sarah's call during his trip but hesitated to say anything. He just watched Selina leave.Sarah had insisted he not only show his apology through actions but also say it out lou
"Thanks, Ben," Selina said, going along with the informal address as she got into the car.Seeing his dream girl sitting next to him, Ben was thrilled but also nervous, unsure what to say."So, coming from the police station... did something happen?" Ben managed to ask, immediately regretting his wo
He turned to the old man: "Alright, I'll give you the money and my card. Contact me if anything comes up."The old man grinned, nodding eagerly.As Ben was about to transfer the money, Selina snatched his phone.Ben looked at her, confused.Selina crouched by the old man. "Sir, I'm not that easily s
A stench of rancid food mixed with fermenting manure assaulted her nostrils.Selina opened her eyes to find her hands tied behind her back with coarse rope. She was lying in the corner of a small pigpen.A fat sow and five piglets were grunting nearby, eating leftover food.Pig droppings were everyw
"Where'd she go?""Quick, she's escaped!"Suddenly, a sharp yell came from behind the house.Hurried footsteps sounded from inside.Panicked, Selina looked around frantically before hiding behind a haystack near the vegetable patch.The footsteps moved from the back to the front door.The iron gate
The dilapidated pigpen reeked of nauseating odors.David, in his custom-tailored silver-gray suit exuding an air of nobility, looked completely out of place in this environment.His dark eyes anxiously scanned Selina. Seeing her teary-eyed, he carefully lifted her as if holding the world's most prec
David remained calm. "They really would kill you."He had truly come alone. Kidnappers were often desperate criminals.He'd once witnessed a friend being brutally killed by kidnappers. How could he risk Selina's life now?Selina, looking at David's calm demeanor, suddenly recalled Sarah mentioning h
This remote mountain village was over 300 miles from Auroville's outskirts, surrounded by mountains with only one exit.The village was extremely xenophobic, with strict rules. No one could leave without the village chief's permission.Even young people rarely left, learning about the outside world
Startled by the unexpected silhouette in the darkness, Selina jumped, instinctively curling into a ball."It's me!" David quickly said, realizing he had scared her.Hearing his familiar voice, Selina finally let out her held breath.The next second, she pushed away David's hand as he reached out to
As for David, Selina was so angry she refused to even mention him."How did things go with William and Grandfather?" Selina asked Thomas in a low voice, noticing Daniel and Nicole seemed relaxed.Thomas, wanting to make amends, told her everything.Bruno had taken in Dominic's remaining men and disc
Selina didn't give Bruno any chance.After hanging up on Bruno, she called Olivia directly to tell her they'd be taking the earliest flight back home.Before Olivia could even understand what was happening, she found herself on the flight home with Selina.Even after they landed and got into Ashley'
Pretending he had never escaped.Thomas's smooth handling of the Meracia situation was also thanks to the information David provided."Why did you keep this from me?" Selina's fingertips felt ice cold, struck by an inexplicable feeling of betrayal.She alone had been kept in the dark, worrying about
After tossing and turning, Selina couldn't fall back asleep. After calculating the time difference, she decided to call Thomas.Thomas had just finished dealing with William's matter when he saw Selina's call. Checking the time in Japan, his expression changed slightly as he quickly answered."Selin
Worried he wouldn't believe her, she added, "You can verify right now who really controls S Tech Group."Bruno hesitated before hanging up to verify Selina's claims.He had originally planned to stay by Selina's side as David, hoping she would gradually fall for him.He believed that with enough tim
He was much more cautious now, choosing his words carefully.Selina took a deep breath, her bottom lip turning white from biting it, and finally steeled herself."Didn't you say before that you'd fed David to the fish?" she said through gritted teeth. "Now you're trying to use him to threaten me? Do
The implication was clear - if they protected Selina well, he'd overlook their failure with Bruno. If not, their punishment would be even worse.The guards quickly agreed.Watching Joseph stride away urgently, Selina had no choice but to return to the hotel under the guards' watchful eyes.She paced
Seeing Selina on the verge of losing control, Joseph quickly grabbed her arm. "Selina, stay calm. Now that we have him, unless he wants to die..."Before he could finish, Bruno suddenly broke free from his captors and made a dash for the balcony.No one expected Bruno to make such a desperate move,
