The next second, a dull sound echoed through the air.The man had driven the iron skewer directly into Nestor’s side. Selina felt Nestor’s body stiffen as his hand pressed against the back of her head, urging her to bury her face in his chest. With his other hand, he casually swatted away the attack
When she pulled her hand back, it was covered in blood.Nestor hadn’t expected Selina to use such a trick, and before he could stop her, she had already uncovered the evidence of his injury. He thought she might say something, but instead, she remained silent, turning away and heading upstairs with
This was Nestor's first time seeing Selina throw a tantrum. She was full of energy, vibrant and alive.Nestor didn't say a word, obediently walking to the bed and lying down on her coat, just as she'd told him. Selina had slept on this bed earlier; her faint scent still lingered. A citrusy fragr
Remembering how Nestor had protected her last night, she actually felt angry—at him for not taking care of himself, and at herself for putting him in danger.After a complex three-second stare, Selina stood up. Her legs, numb from lying down, felt like ants were biting them. She stumbled, falling
Nestor grabbed the black shirt Selina had handed him and stormed out, his anger evident. Selina watched him go, then instructed Shadow Armor, "Have a bodyguard follow him." She'd wanted Shadow Armor to take Nestor to the hospital because she was worried he wouldn't go willingly; only Shadow Armor
Even before dusk, the room was already dimly lit. The house had no electricity, so Selina found a kerosene lamp and lit it.The faint light revealed expressions of disbelief on the faces of Nestor, Shadow Armor, and the others. She gave a bitter, self-deprecating smile.As a child, a lamp to ward
Selina's seemingly light words struck Nestor like a thunderbolt from the heavens.Pain, heaviness, despair… countless emotions surged through him, from his heart to his limbs, finally rushing to his head. He swayed, nearly losing his balance.He remembered a conversation with Amanda about Selina. A
"You went to Brazil to save Amanda, didn't you?" Selina asked, unsure whether to believe him.Nestor looked at her. "It was because I learned Silverline Industries was going to cooperate with Bluewave. Amanda had evidence of Bluewave's criminal activities."Amanda had previously used Jason to smear
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,
