Ben looked straight at Selina, a slight smile on his lips. "With you here, what's there to be afraid of?"He watched as Selina arranged two jackets into a rounded shape and stuffed them under her shirt, creating a convincing illusion of pregnancy. Selina was naturally thinner than Ashley, but the co
Seeing that their pursuers were now out of sight, Shadow Armor cursed under his breath.Their earlier acceleration might have been a ploy to force him to floor the gas pedal, triggering the brake failure."Hold on tight!" Shadow Armor shouted to Selina and Ben without looking back, gripping the stee
Selina opened her eyes, feeling a searing pain all over her body.She remembered Ben's car had been tampered with, causing the brakes to fail and the vehicle to lose control.Shadow Armor had been forced to use friction to slow them down, but an out-of-control tanker truck suddenly appeared ahead, b
As Liam recounted these events, he couldn't help but sigh. He cautiously probed, "Miss Miller, do you think the investors were too ruthless? Taking over someone's family business of generations over a single bet?"Selina gave Liam a strange look, making him feel uneasy and avert his gaze."The busin
Selina's mind raced as she processed the complex situation in Auroville. The city's rapid economic growth had been largely due to four of the six major conglomerates having their headquarters there, with the other two maintaining significant branches.Now, of those four, Bluewave had changed hands,
He too had realized the risk, yet he still played along.Selina closed her eyes helplessly, tears silently rolling down her cheeks.That cheerful boy who had professed his love for her, who had smiled and said he'd wait in line to pursue her, who promised to send her flowers and be ready at her call
Selina stared at Vincent's message for a full minute before scrolling through her other messages. There were well-wishes from colleagues and meeting requests from business partners. David's chat remained unchanged, showing only her unanswered apology for standing him up.Taking a deep breath, Selina
With David in such dire straits, Sarah would naturally return home for help. Vincent had imagined how he might react if Sarah came to him for help, how he might pay her back for the pain she'd caused him.But he never imagined that Sarah would buy a ticket, disappear before boarding the plane, and v
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,
