Mystery Bride's Revenge

"What else can we do? We can only deny it all the way. All of this is Ashley's doing, so just put the blame on her. How much trouble has she caused? She's really..." Frederick's tone was very impatient when mentioning Ashley, his once beloved sister. Now that his family was in this situation, he only had disgust toward Ashley. Lloyd blew out a smoke ring and lit another cigarette. "Frederick, Selina... Is she really going to be this cruel to Mom?"

Frederick shook his head helplessly. "Lloyd, I finally understand why you told me not to look for Selina. I didn't believe it before, but now I have to, especially now that our family is this chaotic. I have no time to care about Selina."

After a slight pause, he continued, "There's nothing we can do. It's all our fault. Now, I think Selina will continue to make trouble. Her appearance at the press conference today was beyond everyone's expectations. Mom suddenly rushed out of the lounge to look for her and fainted after being stimulated by her words. There are all kinds of comments on the internet about Selina's real identity. If Selina is exposed at this time..."

It would only get worse for Harvey Group.

Lloyd sighed and said, "We have to wait and see. Frederick, we don't have a choice."

"Don't tell Mom and Dad about Joseph and Manuel's situations for now. I'll go to the hospital and tell them the truth. We need to explain, after all. Lloyd, stay and take care of Mom and Dad," said Frederick. "Okay," agreed Lloyd.

Unlike the gloomy atmosphere in the Harvey family, Selina was drinking jasmine tea in the Brady manor while eating cupcakes baked and served by Trevon. She enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the night and the colorful lights in the manor. Life was blissful for her. Trevon came over with a blanket and concernedly said, "It's already fall. It's windy in the garden at night. Be careful not to catch cold."

Selina took the blanket and covered herself with it. "Thank you, Darling."

"Just 'thank you?' I can't see sincerity in just words," replied Trevon dejectedly.

Selina smiled and gestured at Trevon with her finger.

Trevon immediately leaned over. waiting for Selina's reward. However, Selina flicked Trevon's cheek and said, "Silly Darling, what are you thinking all day long? All you want to do is kiss me. Let me wake you up."

"Well, Honey, that's not up to you..." Trevon picked Selina up from the rocking chair and took her into his arms. Then, he sat in the rocking chair himself, kissed Selina's earring, and sniffed the faint fragrance of Selina's hair. He exhaled, now feeling refreshed and rather relaxed.

The strong night wind couldn't stop the temperature from rising at this ambiguous moment. Selina blocked Trevon's chest with her petite hand and said, "Darling, have you kissed enough? You are rubbing my ears off."

Trevon's voice carried a hint of desire as he said, "Not enough... Honey, you've been holding back a hungry tiger for so long. Aren't you afraid, it will retaliate? You have to reward it once in a while. Otherwise, it might blow up and eat you up."

Selina patted Trevon on the cheek and said, "I know you have strong self-control. You can overcome it. But Darling, think carefully. We've been in a contract marriage for seven months. How time flies! It looks like there's only five months left until the one-year deadline." "You're really good at changing topics." Trevon took Selina's petite hand and enveloped it in his thick palm. The heat transmitted through the skin touch seemed like it could burn them. "You'll officially be my wife in five months. I'll leave the flowers, rings, grand wedding, and honeymoon to you. You can go wherever you like and do whatever you want, okay?"

Selina raised her eyebrows. "Darling, aren't you too confident? Are you so sure that I will marry you in five months?"This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Trevon replied, "Of course. Who else can you marry but me? No matter how far you go, even to the ends of the earth, I will chase after you and catch you back. You're destined to be mine for the rest of your life."

"Why, Darling, when did you become so vulgar? Your words give me goosebumps," commented Selina.

"I just said what I think." Trevon lowered his gaze, looked at Selina's figure with gentle eyes, and engraved it on his heart. He continued to lean over and kissed Selina's lips gently.

Endless love and tenderness overflowed.

Selina's heart softened. "Before you go to look for me at the ends of the earth, remember to deal with my seniors first. Benjamin and Lydia don't seem to object, but I don't know about Malcolm and Jeffrey, whom you never met. You have to plan carefully. I can't be your bride without their

consent."

"Don't worry. Leave it to me, and you'll be ready to be my beautiful bride," replied Trevon.

11:36 AM

"Well, this beautiful bride should go to bed early. It would be bad if I turn ugly..." Selina found a comfortable position in Trevon's arms and closed her eyes contentedly. "By the way, Darling, are you involved with the Harvey family's recent predicament?" Trevon lifted a strand of Selina's hair and said, "Are you worried about them?"

"No. I just think it's not in your character to be obedient and not get involved," replied Selina. It was impossible for her to be worried about the Harvey family. It would insult her experience in her previous life if she did. She wasn't stupid.

Trevon explained, "There will be several conflicting cooperation cases between Insight Group and Harvey Group. Although Harvey Group's scandal is an internal matter, it's easy for Insight Group to snatch it. Harvey Group will lose hundreds of millions of dollars in these cooperation cases alone, not to mention the decline in its stock price caused by the negative news, which will seriously damage its vitality. If not handled properly, they might not be able to alleviate the situation for more than a year." "So... That guy may come back." It was Selina's eldest brother, Patrick.

That cold man was never kind to Selina. In her memory, she had never seen Patrick smile. He was like an iceberg. If it weren't for the Harvey family, Selina would've suspected Patrick didn't have human emotions. Even Ashley was afraid of him. Now that Quinton and Sara had become like this, and their other children were helpless, Patrick had to return and take care of the situation.

'Well, just come back if he wants. If he provokes me again, I won't swallow my pride this time and deal with him. I don't care who he is. I'll just beat him up!' thought Selina.

Trevon raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which nobody is that? Even you are wary of him?"

"You already said he's a nobody, so he's not worth mentioning. I'm not wary of him. I'm just curious about what kind of fate the Harvey family will end up in. Don't forget Ashley, that ticking time bomb," replied Selina.

"So... Honey, have you found out where Ashley's biological mother is?" asked Trevon.

Selina responded, "Hush. It won't be a surprise if I tell you now. Let's wait and see how things go."
