Something wild inside him roared for more, desperate to take everything.But just then, his sharp instincts detected someone watching them.An oppressive gaze bore into them from nearby.Sharp and dangerous, like the edge of a blade.David's heart jolted. Almost instinctively, he shielded Selina wit
Thomas's suspicions were quickly confirmed."Thomas, what are you doing?" A sharp feminine voice called out, seeming to freeze Thomas in his tracks.He instinctively pulled back his fist and turned around.There was Ashley, still in her business suit and heels, rushing over.She was slightly sweaty
Even when she'd wanted him to stop interfering with Selina's love life, she'd discussed it privately with him at night.Thomas rarely saw Ashley this serious.She was practically ordering him to apologize to David.Thomas remembered what he'd witnessed earlier and sneered: "He doesn't deserve it."I
Selina knew Thomas opposed her relationship with David out of fear she'd get hurt again.Understanding his good intentions made it impossible for her to resent his interference or ignore his opposition.Just like how their parents strongly opposed Joseph and Fiona's relationship - while she hadn't o
He'd discussed with Ashley about having Selina work at Silverline Industries.Keeping busy would leave less time for romance.Of course, he'd also arranged extra work for Horizon Global to keep David too busy to pursue Selina."I'm going shopping with Sarah," Selina said, wiping her mouth."Where? I
Thomas wanted Selina back at Silverline Industries partly to keep her busy and away from David.But his investment firm was also facing some issues.More specifically, competitors were deliberately targeting him.Their tactics were underhanded, often causing damage without any real gain.Thomas woul
Appearances could be deceiving - Selina's abilities shouldn't be underestimated!Selina didn't know that after she left, several executives went to the CEO's office, emerging looking troubled.Leaving the elevator toward her parking spot, she saw an unexpected figure.David leaned against her car, h
"I really should regret what happened with Amanda," David sighed. "If it wasn't for her, you'd still be my wife!"He shouldn't have defended Amanda just because of her brother, which led to Selina's misunderstanding. If he hadn't, he and Selina could be together openly now, and not even Thomas and h
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,
