Hearing Selina's oath, John instantly breathed a sigh of relief, completely oblivious to anything amiss in her vow. He'd always disrespected Selina's adoptive mother, not even remembering her name, referring to her only as "the old hag.""I'll be right back," John said, his face alight with greed, h
He didn't say anything, but Selina guessed everything perfectly.Was this still the timid girl from before, who would only go crazy and fight back when pushed to the limit?"If you want to know, give me the agreement," John said, trying to stay calm. "If you don't want to die here, just do as I say.
John's words hit the ground, and the old widower licked his lips, his unrestrained gaze raking Selina up and down."Been in the city for a few years, you've gotten classy. You'll probably taste even better.""I've been waiting for this for years. I'm going first!""No, I'm going first. With your cl
Just then, a dark figure, like a whirlwind, grabbed Selina's arm, pulling her into a strong embrace.Selina felt a dizzying spin, then landed in a broad, solid chest. The arms holding her were incredibly strong, squeezing her until she felt her bones might break, as if he wanted to crush her into d
The path down the mountain wasn't steep.On the winding trail, the moonlight flowed like water, spreading across the ground.A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers and grass, like a mischievous child playfully teasing Nestor's hair.Selina was lying on Nestor's back, her head half-pressed
After discovering the fire at Selina's house, the villagers gathered not to help put out the fire but to clamor for Selina to pay them.After Shadow Armor apprehended them and questioned them, he discovered that almost everyone in the village was involved in the fire, either participating or condoni
The villagers looked at each other, then all at once turned their gazes towards the village head. Under the villagers' intense scrutiny, the village head cleared his throat uncomfortably, avoiding eye contact with Nestor. Mustering his courage, he approached Selina, chin raised, and said with a sm
Despite their training, Shadow Armor and his bodyguards were hesitant to inflict serious harm, and they were initially overwhelmed by the mob.Nestor, protecting Selina, finally ordered, "No holds barred, break through!"Shadow Armor instinctively looked at Selina, seeing no objection, he subtly nod
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,
