I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Upon hearing this, Selene’s gaze turned sharp and intense. Elsa, intimidated by Selene’s aura, instinctively avoided eye contact. She felt a pang of fear. Realizing her fear, Elsa felt a wave of frustration.

Mrs. Wilkinson was also angered by her daughter’s remarks. She tapped Elsa’s hand lightly. “Elsa, how could you be so thoughtless? Didn’t we teach you any manners at home?”

This was the second time her mother had scolded her for an outsider, and Elsa felt particularly indignant and unwilling to accept it. “Mom, why are you defending an outsider? What I said is true.”

Mrs. Wilkinson sighed, feeling too embarrassed to stay any longer. She stood up and said to Selene, “Sarah, since John isn’t here, we’ll be leaving now. Do come over to our house when you have time.”

“Sure,” Selene replied as she stood up. “I will definitely visit your home.” She knew she would go back eventually.

Mrs. Wilkinson was very pleased to hear this. “Great, you’re always welcome.”

However, in Elsa’s ears, Selene’s words had a different meaning. To her, it was clear that Selene intended to become the future mistress of their house by marrying her brother. Such ambition!

Elsa sneered inwardly and looked down on Selene even more.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Mrs. Wilkinson took Elsa and left first. While in the elevator, Mrs. Wilkinson continued, “Sera is such a sensible child. You should learn from her instead of being noisy and rude all the time.”

“Mom, that’s called being manipulative. Didn’t you notice? She’s eager to join our family and marry my brother. She’s just trying to please you and putting on a show.” Elsa scoffed, “I’ve seen many women like her.”

Mrs. Wilkinson frowned in displeasure. “Where did you get such ideas? And I’ve heard you’re always chasing after Harvey. He doesn’t have a good reputation; I’ve heard he’s quite the flirt. You can like anyone but him.”

“Mom, don’t listen to those rumors; they’re false! Those women approached him themselves; Harvey isn’t a flirt! He only likes me,” Elsa insisted. “I genuinely like him, and his family background matches ours.”

“But his reputation is problematic; that’s not acceptable,” Mrs. Wilkinson said sternly. “Don’t get involved with him. A girl’s reputation is important; cultivating inner beauty and restraining your behavior is more important than external beauty.”

“And what about Sera? She’s staying at my brother’s place! Yet you praise her while scolding me,” Elsa retorted sarcastically. “Mom, why don’t you adopt Sera as your daughter? I’m going to a friend’s place.”

“You child…” Mrs. Wilkinson began, but Elsa stormed off before she could finish.

Mrs. Wilkinson sighed deeply. “With that temper, she’ll suffer in the future.”

Left with no choice, Mrs. Wilkinson went home alone while Elsa drove away in anger, blaming Selene for the argument with her mother. After driving around for a while, she decided to return.

Selene had taken off her mask and was working in her room when she noticed someone spying on her from the building opposite. Her heart sank as she drew all the curtains closed out of an assassin’s instinct.

She observed the building from behind the curtains when the doorbell rang again.

Frowning and suspecting it might be someone from the Celestial Alliance, she cautiously approached the door and saw through the peephole that it was Elsa returning once more. Selene’s frown deepened.

She returned to her room, grabbed another mask, put it on, and then went to open the door.

This time wearing a different mask and having changed clothes due to an earlier spill, Selene opened the door and startled Elsa.

Elsa looked as if she’d seen a ghost. “Why did you change again? Who are you this time? Where’s Sera?”

Selene lied without batting an eye. “She left.”

“Then who are you?” Elsa was confused.

“I’m Sera’s sister; my name is Lila,” Selene continued to deceive.

“How many sisters do you have? Are you also staying at my brother’s place?” Elsa asked wide-eyed.

“We have many sisters in our family; why do you ask?” Selene replied nonchalantly.

“No reason,” Elsa stammered, too shocked to say more about how cold each sister seemed.

Selene shut the door and immediately called John Wilkinson: “Your sister came back again; Celestial Alliance people are watching me…”

She was genuinely annoyed by Elsa’s constant interruptions.

Moreover, she sensed that with Celestial Alliance watching her closely now, Elsa’s frequent visits could put her in danger as well.

John Wilkinson understood the situation and assured her he would handle it while advising her to be careful until he returned quickly.

Meanwhile, Meredith had contacted Terrence after meeting Selene.
