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
David was dazzled by her tender yet playful smile, and voiced his hope: "For me?"Selina neither confirmed nor denied it, saying as David's smile began to grow: "Guess again!"David's smile instantly froze, clear disappointment showing in his eyes.Selina finally relented, comforting him reluctantly
The windows were tinted, showing only darkness from outside.Selina approached and knocked on the window.The window slowly lowered.David sat in the driver's seat, looking drowsy with red marks on his face from his fingers.He must have been dozing with his head on the steering wheel.If he hadn't
"What happened to Grandfather?" Selina asked anxiously.David looked at her, answering: "He's been taken, but they haven't made any further moves yet."How could Grandfather have been captured?Selina maintained regular contact with Lumina.During every video call, Nicole would smile and say everyth
"Don't frown," he said. "Whatever it is, we'll solve it together."Selina sighed deeply, handing him several documents: "You haven't seen these yet, have you?"The envelope's seal had been broken by her.David took them, quickly reading through but showing no reaction.Not because he'd seen them bef
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,
