Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 237

Ar the last moment, Joseph's fading sense of reason forced him to pull back, applying a mental brake just in time. If he had spoken those words aloud, all his efforts would have been for nothing, and it would bring immense trouble to the Harvey family. Meanwhile, Daniel slapped his thigh in frustration as he thought, I knew it His instincts had been spot on. There was indeed a deep connection between Selina and Joseph. However, Joseph had stopped himself just short of revealing it. Still, this brief moment would surely have planted seeds of suspicion in the audience's minds.

I really can't stand how you always say one thing and mean another. Pretending to be noble when, in reality, your thoughts are anything but. It's revoking" Selina said, her tone dripping with disdain.

The sheer shamelessness of this family, constantly parading around like they cared for her, treating her like a precious daughter or sister while secretly using her as a pawn. It was nauseating just to think about how mich Selina had to endure to resist slapping Joseph right then and there.

"H-How do you know what I'm thinking? I never did anything like that! Don't take out your anger on innocent people," Joseph stammered, his voice shaking with both anger and desperation.

"Innocent Sure, you're blameless, and I'm just being unreasonable. So why are you even near

tar me? Shouldn't you be staying far away just like you've always wanted?" Selena retorted

Joseph had never met anyone as unreasonable as Selina. However, what she said wasn't wrong. When they first found Selina, Joseph secretly hoped she would not return and that she would stay far away from the Harvey family. as expected.

Life was peaceful and stable, and they didn't need the disruption

n Selina's presence would bring. When she returned, she caused trouble as Hence, Joseph kept his distance and avoided adding to the chaos it would bring to the Harvey family.

To his dismay, things had escalated to this point. Joseph could only watch as Selina walked away, not knowing how to calm the storm raging within his heart. "I'm sorry, Selina" he finally murmured. He knew she heard him, even diough she did not stop

Afraid of further misunderstandings, both from Selina and the viewers, Joseph continued to explain. "Don't get the wrong idea. I did see that snake earlier, and I was worried it might harm you. I apologize for startling the snake into attacking you. My intentions were never as malicious as you think, but I can't deny that part"

Without looking back, Selina kept walking, leaving Joseph standing there with a complex mix of emotions.

[See! My sixth sense is right! There's definitely something between Mr. Harvey and Selina]

[My Intuition tells me they're related. Are they perhaps cousins?

[They have the same last name they must be cousins]

[Could it be that Selina's inheritance was taken by the Harvey family! Ah, the drama of an affluent family fighting over an inheritance!)

[Don't talk nonsensel Quinton Harvey, the chairman of Harvey Group, built the company from scratch. That's well-known in Sokovis. Any Sokovis local can vouch for ir]

I've heard rumors that the Harvey family lost a daughter once, but it's just hearsay. Who knows if it's true?]

I heard that rumor too. Could it be that Queen Selina is that lost daughter! Whoa, that would be an explosive news!]

The Public Relations Department of Harvey Group quickly intervened, desperately trying to suppress the spreading rumors before Selina's true identity was exposed. Though the public speculated, they had no solid evidence. Speculations, after all, were just speculations. However, as the rumors spread, it was only a matter of time before the truth would be uncovered.

To Harvey Group's surprise, Insight Group's PR department also stepped in, working to keep the story from gaining traction. Clearly, Trevon did not want the public to find out Selina's real connection to the Harvey family either, unless she was willing. However, Selina had already severed ties with the Harvey family, so there was no way she would agree to that

In such a short time, such a massive storm had erupted. Even Harvey Group was taken aback by the skill of Insight Group's PR team. Both were top companies in Sokovis, and while they were aware of each other, they had never felt such a stark contrast before. Before Trevon was in charge. Harvey Group never felt this direct competition. However, now that he had taken over, the difference tras immediately clear.

As soon as Selina reached her destination, a water bottle was tossed her way. She caught it with ease and noticed Trevon, who walked over. "What happened on the way here?" he asked.

"Weren't you following me, Mr. Brady? Why ask what you already know? Selina retorted.

"You can ask the cameraman following me. I wasn't following you. We just happened to have the same destination" Trevon explained

1:07 PM dr Chapter 237

The cameraman quickly nodded in agreement and said. "That's right, Ms. Harvey. Mr. Brady wasn't following you. It's just a coincidence that you to ended up in the same place

A faint smile tagged at Trevon's lips. "If you want me to follow you, just say the word, and I'll happily oblige. That would be my honor. So, what are you planning to do tonight?" he asked. "Mushroom soup. Want to trade?" Selina asked.

"Sure," Trevon agreed. Their playful banter and ambiguous flirtation drove their fans wild. They wanted more, begging them not to mined the

Viewers.

While watching this scene, the Harvey family couldn't help but feel uneasy. Selina's relaxed smile, a smile free of her mual guardedness, was something the Harvey family had never seen before. They were family and thought that smile should have been reserved for them. Becoming enemies was the last thing they hoped for. "I just don't understand her. She smiles so sincerely at Trevon yet treats us like enemies. We have never mistreated her and have given her everything she wanted" Quinton complained, yet to realize his mistake,

"Come on. Dad Manuel exclaimed.

"All right, Manuel. I know you're on Selina's side, so I don't want to hear it. Quinton interrupted before Manuel could continue, knowing that whatever the latter said would be to defend Selina. It was infuriating for Quinton as Manuel had never once contradicted him before, but now he was becoming more rebellious because of Selina

Meanwhile, Joseph found himself inexplicably drawn to a higher hill where Trevon and Selina had gone. His initial purpose was to gather ingredients, but a glance in Selina's direction told him that she would also be gathering ingredients there. And he was right

When Joseph arrived and saw Selina with Trevon, he couldn't help but notice the stark difference in how she treated him. With Trevon, she was warm, tender, and in sync, a far cry from the disdain and indifference she showed him. It pained Joseph deeply, though he could not understand why. After all, in the beginning, all he felt for Selina was loathing and hatred

Lost in thought. Joseph failed to notice he had wandered onto a steep slope. With a sudden crash, the slope crumbled beneath him, sending hum sliding down uncontrollably.
