Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Timothy's complexion was as pale as a corpse, but in the end, Quinton managed to drag him away. Nora, watching Timothy and Quinton's retreating figures, pulled all sorts of goofy faces and flipped them the bird. "Haha, take that! So arrogant, and now who's been slapped hard in the face? This is goldent"

Selina looked down thoughtfully, "Nora, you know, I... I haven't really talked much about my own stuff with you....

"It's okay, Selina. When you're ready to talk, I'll listen. If you don't want to, I won't pry because I trust my instincts, and I trust my brother's judgment. You're the best sister-in-law in the world

Nora was like a heartwarming thermal coat, almost bringing Selina to tears. She touched Nora's head and said, "Let's talk over dinner. I'll tell you then."

Meanwhile, in the underground parking lot, Timothy had just gotten his wits about him, "Mr. Harvey, is it true that Selina and Trevon got married? That's impossible!"

"I have my doubts about this matter too, and I've been at a loss on how to approach the Clark family about it, Quinton said. "I mean, Selina, a woman without any education and from the countryside, should be no match for Trevon. He's seen all kinds of glamour; there's no way he could fall for someone like her.

Quinton came up with the perfect excuse to brush it off, and Timothy, slightly more composed, nodded, "You're right, Mr. Harvey. Even if Trevon was shallow enough to be attracted by Selina's looks, the Brady family would never accept her. No official announcement, no wedding. I bet Selina will be kicked out of the Brady family before long!"

Without the Harvey family backing her, Selina is just a small fry who didn't finish middle school, a nobody from the countryside. The Brady family accepting her as Trevon's wife would be a joke! She can't help with anything, and she'd only) drag down the Bradys social standing"

Quinton scoffed. He thought, Did Selina truly believe she could transform from a sparrow into a phoenix simply by aligning herself with Trevon? Displaying arrogance in front of people like Timothy and me was nothing more than delusion. At best, she was just a sparrow. Without the support of the Harveys, she would never ascend to the status of a phoenix.

"I heard the Brady family pushing for Trevon's marriage; they even set up several blind dates for him and spread rumors that he wasn't interested in women, suggesting he might be gay. Trevon hates those rumors. Maybe he's using Selina as a decoy, just a pretty vase, to silence people's chatter and resist in his own way, deliberately choosing an uneducated country bumpkin...

Timothy's calm assessment brought a nod of agreement from Quinton. That's a possibility we considered, indeed the most likely one."

Trevon, oh Trevon, I used to consider you my strongest rival. I never thought you would ruin your own marriage, not understanding the importance of a powerhouse alliance. Timothy sneered. He had once thought about finding opportunities to surpass Trevon and lead the Clark Group beyond the Insight Group. But now, the tables had turned! Selina was a useless trophy wife who'd only hold Trevon back.

"Timothy, I apologize for not mentioning this matter to you earlier. It's just that...

"Mr. Harvey, I understand. Let's bail Manuel out first and not waste any more time. And you promised you'd help me something. I hope you'll keep your word."

Quinton clapped Timothy on the back, "Timothy, I've watched you grow up, and in my heart, you're like one of my own children. If this old man can help you, I'd be more than happy to

Thank you, Mr. Harvey Sure, Timothy had his grievances, but these were trivial next to the support the Harvey family

offered him. He thought, Selina, ol Selina, you think being chosen by Trevon and signing some secret contract elevates you above us? I'll show you just how naive you really are!

Selina and Nora returned to the Brady manor, with Nora still fuming about the events that had transpired. "Selina, the Harvey family are beyond awful! How can they even be considered family? And that Timothy, strutting around like he's all that-who does he think he is?"

"If it hadn't been for their snobbish ways, looking down on us, I wouldn't have had my chance with your brother. It's a blessing in disguise. Nora, I've come to realize that it's not worth wasting my energy and time on those who look down on others. What's most important is living well in the present and building a better future," Selina responded calmly. The hard lessons from her past, where she had been treated like a doormat, clinging to kinship only to be kicked to the curb, taught her to value what truly mattered. Things you can't have can sometimes blind you and drive you insane, wanting them at any

cost.

"Yeah, don't let them get to you. Now you've got us, and you've got Trevon. We are your family. Nora said as she threw herself into Selina's arms, choking back tears. She couldn't get over how the Harvey family had treated Selina. As the beloved and protected daughter of the Brady family. Nora could never fully understand what Selina went through.

Selina gave a slight smile. "Right, you are my sister. I couldn't care less about the Harvey family or that snake Ashley."

Just then, Selina's phone rang. It was Malcolm. She pressed the answer button.

The Harvey family has admitted their wrongdoings and are seeking an out-of-court settlement. They've dropped the lawsuit, and Manuel's been released on bail. The kid got lucky he hadn't fully dived into the design industry yet-no seandals for me to dig up. But if there were, I'd have buried him with it."

Malcolm sounded disappointed. He had the lawsuit in the bag, especially with solid evidence, so the Harvey family conceded. They'd prefer Manuel to have a blotch on his record than to drag it out with Selina, wasting more time. "Thanks, Malcolm. Tomorrow, I'm treating you and Lydia to dinner as a thank-you."

Selina wasn't surprised by Quinton's actions, forcing the Harvey family to bow their heads just like they once looked down upon her as some nobody farm girl. They must be losing sleep over this tonight, she thought smugly. "Sure."

As Selina was about to speak to Nora, a deep voice approached, "You're back?"

It was Trevon, strolling up to Selina, completely ignoring his own sister Nora and casually slinging an arm around Selina's shoulder: "Missed me today while you were out having fun? Honey."
