As if in an instant, the car stopped at the Robinsons' entrance.Nestor hadn't had enough of kissing her, but Selina pushed him away firmly, very different from her earlier token resistance.Nestor understood when to stop.Though reluctant, he released Selina.As they parted, a glistening thread con
Joseph looked at her dress, then down at his suit, wondering if he'd lost his sense of temperature.Selina wore less than him, yet felt hot when he felt comfortable.Fearing more questions, Selina smiled at him, speaking quickly: "Weren't you heading out? Don't let me keep you - I have things to do,
Selina had just finished showering when she received a call from the main building.As soon as she connected, Nicole's eager voice came through: "Selina, I hear your grandfather arranged a blind date for you?"Her voice didn't sound particularly happy, even carrying a hint of complaint.The old man
When she and Nicole arrived at the police station, the lawyer was already waiting for them."Madam, Miss!" The impeccably dressed Theo greeted Nicole and Selina, walking into the station with them.Selina briefly told Theo what she'd learned from the police.The night before, Joseph had been drinkin
As Selina was finally able to properly look at Nestor after he'd escorted her to a private booth on the second floor."Did you come specifically to find me?" Selina asked with mixed feelings.Nestor leaned forward, his dark eyes fixed intently on her, lips curving slightly: "Of course it was for you
Nestor stared at her face, then after a long silence, his lips curved upward."What's going on in that little head of yours?" He gently flicked her forehead. "I want to marry you because of you, not because of the Robinsons or Adams."He wanted to marry her simply because she was Selina.He'd antici
Through the window, Selina looked where he pointed, seeing a familiar tall figure leaning against a car about 800 meters from the bar.When the woman appeared, he quickly went to meet her.The woman ignored him, striding forward while he patiently followed, reaching for her hand.She avoided his tou
Pushing against Nestor's chest, Selina stepped away."What else do you know?" Selina asked quietly.She hadn't wanted Nestor involved in Robinson affairs, but he'd forced his way in.Since she couldn't refuse him, she might as well let him help.Hearing Selina's resignation, Nestor's lips curved int
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,
