Without missing a beat, and without even changing out of her pajamas, Selina rushed after the servant towards the stairs, her damp hair flowing behind her.On the landing of the spiral staircase, a panic-stricken servant was holding Eric, pressing a towel against the back of his head with their free
The nurse struggled against Selina's grip, but Selina kicked her in the shin, making her wince in pain.Seemingly unmoved, Selina delivered a swift chop to the neck, knocking the nurse unconscious."Continue finishing up," Selina nodded to the attending physician.The doctor cast a complex look at t
"Selina, come here!" Thomas's lips tightened as his gaze cut like daggers through his glasses toward David.Sensing Thomas had misunderstood her tears, Selina sniffled and was about to explain when David stepped in front of her, blocking Thomas's view."Mr. Robinson, if you have time, perhaps you sh
Her slight frame looked ready to collapse at any moment.David couldn't bear to cause her more distress and finally fell silent."Our family matters don't require Mr. Wilson's intervention," Thomas said coolly, clearly dismissing him.David gave Selina one last long look, took a deep breath to suppr
Thomas felt guilty, but thought if Selina knew the family's situation, she'd only worry more.Steeling himself, he said firmly, "The best help you can give us is managing things at the company!"Selina stared at him, her already reddened eyes growing even more so.Ashley gently elbowed Thomas, sugge
When David offered her a ride, she didn't refuse.Watching David calmly set up the food on the fold-down tray between the back seats, Selina's mouth twitched.What happened to his germaphobia?She remembered once when she accompanied him on a business trip. The notice had been sudden, so after rushi
Looking at herself through David's description, Selina felt both familiar and strange.True, she had done all those things he mentioned.But in his retelling, that woman who could manage both high society and the kitchen, who ran a household and led a company decisively - she seemed completely diffe
"Hourly rate is fifty dollars, overnight is one-fifty," the clerk's gaze moved from David to Selina, lingering before their lips twisted slightly.Women these days, willing to accept even a scarred man for money.Though his body seemed decent.With the lights off, it might not be so bad."Meeting a
Maya smirked at Selina's protective stance over her husband.Sure, David was good-looking with a great physique, but he was taken - definitely not her type."I'm not interested in your man," Maya said, giving David a dismissive look. "A married man going to bars alone to pick up women? How shameless
"Honey, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me!""What happened to your clothes and hair?" David asked after checking her over for injuries."Oh, I was sunbathing and reading in the back garden, and I accidentally fell asleep!" Selina admitted, lowering her head shyly.David finally relaxed comp
Just thinking about what Selina might have endured made David want to strangle Maya.But he didn't want to frighten Selina.She'd already been traumatized when he was drugged by Maya and almost forced himself on her - it had taken her so long to recover.How could he bear to make her fear him by tak
David's face darkened like storm clouds, and he let out a scornful laugh: "You kidnapped my wife just to get me here, didn't you?""Your wife?" Maya's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief, but she quickly composed herself, looking at David with an odd expression."You think I'm still obsessed
Nelson and David waited anxiously at the entrance until the butler hurried over.He glanced at Nelson, his gaze lingering for a moment, before turning to David: "Mr. Wilson, my lady requests your presence inside!"David furrowed his brow and turned to Nelson in confusion, only to see that Nelson's f
David paused upon hearing this report, his anxiety somewhat relieved."You're saying the people who took my wife work for the same woman who tried to take me before?"After receiving confirmation, David took a deep breath and called Nelson without hesitation.If he remembered correctly, that woman h
When did David meet a woman like her? She had no idea!Selina carefully observed the woman before her.She was strikingly beautiful, with refined features and flawless skin. Her elegant figure was perfectly proportioned in a way that would turn any man's head.Even more remarkable was her natural au
Even his initial relationship with Fiona had revolved around money. Yet now, he didn't seem to mind!"There are plenty of rich people, but she chose my money – which means she chose me," Joseph proudly declared. "Besides, I'm capable of making money. If she likes my money, I'll gladly give it to her
Seeing Selina's composed expression, David finally felt the weight lift from his shoulders.He wanted to destroy Bruno, but had worried about Selina's reaction and potential anger. Now, confirming that Selina truly didn't care about Bruno anymore, David felt much more at ease. It was like finally be
