Gail offered, patting Selina’s hand before departing.
Once the door shut, a hush settled over the room.
Selina surveyed her once-comforting bedroom, her nails pressing into her skin.
Would all this soon cease to be hers?
Was she to revert to a life of normalcy?
Uncertain of her path forward, a tumult of emotions, resentment, envy, panic, converged, contorting her
features and igniting a desire to shatter her surroundings.

At that moment, her phone chimed. A message popped on the screen.
Selina cast a somber glance at it.
“Baby, I miss you. I’m coming to Skrix to see you,” Aldrich texted.
Selina’s gaze lingered on the text, her eyes darting swiftly.
She had lost her esteemed position.
Stripped of the Moreno family’s backing, she needed to secure a new helper posthaste to dodge
disgrace.
Her initial scheme had been to wed Brian, yet now it seemed an impossibility to rekindle their
association.
Consequently, she considered leveraging an equally formidable rival like Brain as a stepping stone.

Aldrich, who harbored a strong affection for her and was driven by ambition, seemed like the optimal
choice at the moment.
If Aldrich could usurp Brian’s influence, she could maintain her status in the elite circles, as well as
ensure Brian lamented his decision to decline her as his partner.

In the living room, Gail summoned the servant and requested the preparation of ginger tea for Selina,
subsequently sharing her sentiments with the assembled group.
“Brendan, we’ve nurtured Selina. Why not assist her in finding a suitable husband and facilitating her
marriage?” Gail proposed.
Upon hearing this, Brendan pondered for a moment.
“Gail, under different circumstances, I could have undoubtedly orchestrated a marriage into a
respectable Skrix family for her.
But now that our biological daughter has returned, those respectable families might look down on
Selina’s family background. How about this? I’ll scout for eligible, high-caliber men within the company
for her to consider. That should not pose an issue.”
Gail found Brendan’s reasoning compelling.
