“I don’t need to hear that from you, of all people. You talk like it wasn’t your stupid suggestion in the first place that led my mother
to use Karina as a warning against Rosalynn. Are you happy now that my family ended up like this?”
At the scathing words, Selina’s gaze evaded hers, but she still reached for Deanna’s hand.
“You know it’s not like that, Deanna. How can I rejoice when things have come to this? I never expected Rosalynn to send
someone to investigate your father, and I had no idea that he was having an affair.”
Her seemingly regretful words failed to mask her real intentions. Selina was pinning the blame on Deanna’s father for his
betrayal; she was washing her hands clean.
Deanna pulled a long face. She shook off Selina’s hands and took a step back.
“You can drop the act, Selina. And stop trying to use me and my mother as your defense. Brian doesn’t love you anymore. Even
if he leaves Rosalynn, he still won’t choose you. Leave, and don’t ever step inside our house again.
You’re not welcome here!”
Without waiting for Selina’s answer, Deanna turned around and left.
Her figure stood straight.

In just a few days, she seemed to have grown up so much.
The once naive and straightforward girl was gone.
A shrewd and discerning woman had taken her place.
Selina watched as she entered the villa, her own expression darkening.
She gave a cold snort.
Was Deanna cutting her off?
The only reason why Selina chose to befriend her was because she was of some use,
Inside the villa, Brian and Noemi went downstairs, followed by several servants carrying luggage.
Brian was also carrying a suitcase in his hand. He was helping Noemi move.
Deanna’s eyes turned red again.
She wrapped her arms around Noemi and sobbed.
“Mom.”
She crumbled, confronted by the reality of her mother leaving their home.
