If Thomas hadn't stopped her, Selina would have bought a plane ticket back to Auroville right away.She didn't believe Nestor would get into an accident, especially not something as crude as a car explosion."Don't do anything rash before we know what's really going on," Thomas cautioned. "Alexa mig
"If I hadn't chosen her, she'd probably be like you now - gentle, kind, pretty, and lovely."Selina sighed softly: "I think your mom must love you very much to have you and take care of you without minding the hardship."The child nodded proudly: "Of course, I'm so cute!"Selina couldn't help but la
Nestor took Selina's hand, letting her touch his face.Only then did Selina realize it was still Nestor's face, just altered with concealer and makeup to make his features less defined and striking.His scars were hidden under concealer and foundation, and combined with the cap's shadow, they were b
"You still haven't told me if you missed me," Nestor said softly near her ear, watching her face.Selina snorted lightly, pushing away his hand as it reached for her cheek."And you still haven't told me why you stayed in Auroville!"She'd been waiting for Nestor's explanation. Since he wouldn't bri
The man wasn't used to people speaking to him this way. He laughed, amused and irritated, looking at Selina with newfound interest: "Beautiful lady, you're not from Lumina, are you?"Few women in all of Lumina would dare act so proudly in front of him.Clearly, the woman before him wasn't one of the
Nicole gave him an exasperated look: "She's my biological daughter - of course I'm biased towards her instead of you! Should we ask your father..."Adrian quickly surrendered: "Aunt, I was wrong. Please stop bringing up my father at every turn?"Nicole threatened: "Behave yourself and I won't mentio
Selina returned to find Nicole waiting in the room."What's going on between you and Adrian?" Nicole asked with a frown.Selina herself didn't understand what had happened, let alone how to answer Nicole's question."Mom, why did you suddenly come to the stairwell?" Selina deflected.Nicole hesitate
The lab had a giant control panel displaying instrument data.Various machines worked systematically, their sounds forming a beautiful symphony.In the middle of the lab was a sleep pod treatment device. Through its transparent cover, she could see a kind-looking elderly man with white hair sleeping
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,
