Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

+5

"Handling a project worth hundreds of millions is no small feat. ve got to take the reins myself, Honey. Making money isn't easy, especially when I'm trying to build a little treasure chest so you can splurge anytime without worry. I need to work even harder now," Trevon murmured, gently running his fingers through Selina's hair.

Before, he thought earning enough money was sufficient. What was more important was to fend off boredom and prove his worth

But now, with a wife, no amount seemed enough. Knowing how impressive his wife was, always ready to give her and her friends whatever they asked for, he feared he wouldn't be able to keep up unless he built a super vault.

Since he was giving, he might as well be the best, better than anyone else in the world could offer Selina, making sure she belonged to him and him alone.

"Good thing it's just us here, Mr. Brady, Selina said with a chuckle, a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "If you said that out loud, I'd be worried about eggs flying your way and splattering all over me

A vein popped on Selina's forehead. For a tycoon like Trevon, hundreds of millions were common, but for ordinary rich people, these were astronomical figures. It seemed Trevon didn't quite grasp the struggles of the common man, still saying that "Money isn't easy to earn."

Even Selina felt the urge to knock some sense into Trevon. Sure, she was good at making money, but she was nowhere near her husband's league! Then again, if she did damage that handsome face, she'd only have herself to blame for pampering him hter. It would still be her loss in the end.

"Different worlds, Honey. You should realize just how outstanding a man you've found. Be more aware of that from now on, Trevon chucked

Others might find such a statement arrogant, but coming from Trevon, it was merely a reflection of his absolute confidence, built on a path paved with victories.

"Wow, Honey, you're so cool! Falling for you more and more every day! I better run now or I'll miss my appointment, Selina quipped, grabbing her purse and dashing out, leaving Trevon alone in his big office that suddenly felt too quiet.

Sighing, Trevon realized falling in love could make one so sentimental and worry-ridden, quite out of character for him.

Selina took Trevon's Maybach parked at the company, sped off, and arrived just in time for her 3 PM appointment at Sokovis's most renowned antique appraisal house.

"Selina, over here!" Lydia waved at Selina.

"Sorry, Lydia, am I late? Didn't keep you waiting, did I? Selina apologized.

"No worries, just treat me to the most expensive milkshake later, Lydia responded.

"Tell me what you want, and I'll buy the entire shop just to serve you whenever you come by," Selina joked as they walked into the appraisal house.

The receptionist, familiar with Lydia, greeted her with a smile. Lydia, your visitor has been waiting for a while."

Lydia leaned in, "Alright, sweetie, where's your boss?"

"Looking for me, Lydia? A clear voice sounded as a man dressed in a traditional white robe with flying cranes, a Buddhist bead bracelet, round glasses, and a sleek hairdo approached with a folding fan. Lydia, with her arm around Selina's shoulder, introduced, "Neil, this is the Selina. I've told you about."

Extending her hand. Selina greeted, "So, you're Neil. Iyalia always mention your name. It's an honor to finally meet you."

Neil's eyes brightened. "Oh! And what exactly has Lydia told you about me? I hope it's not all my shortcomings.

"The youngest genius antique appraiser in Sokovis, collaborates with national agencies, and a winner of multiple international awards. Used to travel the world visiting museums and archaeological sites, and now you've set up your appraisal house here..."

Selina listed Neil's impressive credentials, then touched her chin thoughtfully. "Neil, I'm curious, When you were abroad, you discovered several ancient sites and unearthed ancient codes, stunning the global archaeological community. Everyone hailed you as the future star of archaeology. So, what made you suddenly decide to come back to Sokovis and open this antique appraisal house?"

"It's because I made a promise to someone. The day she wants to join me in archaeology. I'll close this place and take her along. Neil replied, his gaze drifting towards Lydia.

Lydia smiled. "Whenever I'm done playing rock star, let's do it!"

"You have my word. Then it'll be up to my bodyguard here to keep me safe," Neil chuckled.

Tve got it covered. Lydia assured.

Selina noticed the exchange and the unspoken understanding between them, choosing not to interrupt.

Selina could tell that Neil was quite aware of his feelings, but Lydia, hadn't quite caught on yet. Given Lydia's playful nature, Neil had a long way to go if he wanted to win her heart for real.

Selina knew she had to keep an eye out for Lydia. Neil seemed like a good match at first glance, and if Lydia truly fell for him it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.

In her previous life, Selina had been too preoccupied with her own family to notice the circle around Lydia, including any decent men who might have silently admired her.

She really had been very lousy. Thankfully, she had a second chance now.

"Sara, I must say, the antique appraisal house you recommended is truly exceptional. I'm very pleased, though it's a pity the boss here is so hard to meet. I heard he's a genius in the field...

I've only met him twice, but he's indeed a very talented young man, Cora shared with Sara, both laughing and chatting as they emerged from the inner room.

Cora was saying when she suddenly stopped, spotting Selina and Lydia. Pointing at Selina, she exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"

Neil, puzzled, asked, "You know each other?"

Lydia, holding her forehead, replied, "It's a long story, but no worries. Consider it a workout. Let's see how Selina handles this mess. Got any popcorn?" "Knowing you love snacks, I've already got some ready for you, Neil responded, pulling out a bag.

"And grab me a soda," Lydia added.

Sara noticed Neil's closeness with Lydia and realized he must be on Selina's side.

Sara wondered for the first time, "How vast is Selina's network?"This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

After learning that Selina was also known as Angel, Sara could no longer see her as just an uneducated country girl or a mere trophy wife for Trevon.

"Have you lost your mind? People come to an antique appraisal house to appraise antiques, not to spout nonsense like you're doing now" retorted Selina.

"You!" Cora was seething with irritation. She wondered, 'How dare Selina be so bold? Could it be that Trevon didn't reprimand her after he found out she had offended us last night? No... that couldn't be possible!"
