NovelEnglishChapter 816 Selena didn't need to turn around to know who it was; she kept walking like she hadn't heard a thing. But of course, Joy wasn't going to let her off that easily.
Joy, strutting in her high heels, quickly caught up and blocked Selena's path. She took one look at Selena's pale face and reddened eyes and felt a wave of satisfaction. But when her eyes drifted to the telltale marks on Selena's neck, a sharp pang of jealousy hit her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoy couldn't wrap her head around it. After everything, with Everett and Selena practically at each other's throats and him having other women on the side, why was he still so interested in Selena? If Everett really had such insatiable desires, why hadn't he ever turned to her? She was sure she was as good as any woman out there.
Even though Joy tried to mask her feelings, Selena could see right through her. Love and jealousy have a way of showing no matter how hard you try to hide them, especially for someone like Joy, whose obsessive, unreturned love bordered on madness.
Selena gave her a faint smile. "Joy, what about you? After all this scheming, did you get what you wanted?" Joy was momentarily at a loss for words.
"In your mission to tear Everett andapart, you let Breanne, who looks just like me, cozy up to him, even let her into his bed. And the kicker? He accepted Breanne, but he hasn't laid a finger on you." Selena spoke calmly, not rushing, while Joy's anger slowly bubbled up. She knew exactly where to hit Joy where it hurt.
Joy, ever the proud one, wouldn't let herself be the butt of the joke. With a cold sneer, she shot back, "Selena, I've told you before, I don't care how many women Everett has on the side. In the end, I'm going to be Mrs. Bennett. As for Breanne, please, I could crush her like a bug. Do you really think she threatens me?" "What a joke." "I'm not like you, always getting emotional. What's wrong with a guy having a little fun on the side? As long as he comes home, that's what count As long as I marry Everett and my kid's the official heir to Bennett Corporation, nothing else matters." "And you know what really makeshappy? Imagining you as the forever-hidden mistress, your kids never acknowledged by the Bennett family never getting their rightful place in the family tree, always having to hide that they're Everett's children." Joy leaned in, her smile dripping with malice. "Selena, you did this to yourself. I told you to leave Newport with your kids. If you had, we could've kept things civil.
I'd have treated your kids like my own, never letting them suffer." "But no, you had to stick around and challenge me, had to prove your allure. Look where that got you. Does it make you happy? When Mateo and Haley grow up and realize that because of a selfish mom like you, they lost their place in the Bennett family, they'll hate you." Selena suddenly let out a short laugh, then swung her hand and slapped Joy across the face.

"With a mouth like that, why wouldn't I?" Selena sneered, clenching hem fists. "You've been pushing my button's today, you must've found out something." "Did you snoop into my medical records? Found out my depression's back?"
