Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Having already lost one sister, Manuel was keen to avoid a situation where even Ashley would sum against them. He thought, "Wouldn't that mean the losses outweigh the gains?

Lloyd asked, "Joseph, since you've considered this, you must have a solution; don't you?"

Joseph replied, "Lloyd, you're giving me too much credit. What plan could I have! Besides, Frederick holds the adaptation rights. He can give them to whoever he wants. None of us can decide that for him. All I can do is remind him of the risks and leave the rest to hon Joseph paused, then continued. Since Frederick contacted The Rose's agency today and successfully met with Selina, it's clear he made hus choice. He wants to give the female lead role in Selina

Manuel couldn't help blurting out, "Dors Frederick value Selina more than Ashley? The question felt like an invisible arrow aimed at Adley >>

heart.

Joseph shook his head "Manuel, don't jump to conclusions. The situation is unique and can't be generalized. The Harvey family owes Selina a lot. With the current state of affairs between her and the family, Frederick feels terrible. He's always seen Selina as his sister" Lloyd then asked Joseph, "So, Joseph, do you hope for Selina to return to the Harvey family!"

Joseph closed his eyes for a moment. "Does my opinion even matter? Given the current state of the Harvey family. I think everyone wishes for Selina's retum, don't they?"

Lloyd said, "Forget about others opinions. Just tell me yours. It's rear Mamel wants Selina back. Despite losing to her, she's still my sister, and I support her return. What about you?"

Joseph responded, "I don't know."..

You don't know! josephs, you...

Llojd pressed on. You

"Lloyd, I really don't know. My heart is all over the place because of Selina, Just consider me neutral Joseph couldn't sell Doyd that Selina was the one who saved Sara's life. That moment had changed everything. Since then, Joseph's feelings for her were conflicted He loved Selina because she was his biological sister and had saved Sara. At the same time, he hated her for being so ruthless toward him despite their family bond. Joseph felt he had never provoked Selina at all Manuel secretly glanced at Joseph, sighing quietly Lloyd observed Manuel and Joseph's expressions and sensed they were hiding something. Since they clearly trusted each other. Lloyd decided to drop the matter, assuming whatever it was wasn't good for him to know.

Joseph said. "We have two issues now. First, we wait for Frederick to return and tell us Selina's decision. Second, if Patrick comes back and learns about Selina, he might take action. Patrick doesn't tolerate threats to the Harvey family, even from family members. I hope it doesn't come to that"

At the mention of Patrick, Lloyd and Manuel's expresions changed instantly. With Patrick's temper, there was no way he would deal with Selina ai gendy as they had. If Selina couldn't control herself and continued to oppose the Harvey family. Patrick would be merciless.

Suddenly, a maid's surprised voice came from outside the living room: "Ms. Harvey, what are you doing here?

Ashley was startled, having been eavesdropping intently. Luckily, she had a strong psychological fortitude and quickly came up with an excuse. T just came down to talk with my brothers. You surprised me

"Oh, they are all in the living room. Go ahead" the maid reminded her and left. She glanced back at Ashley entering the room and muttered to herself. "How odd. I must have been seeing things earlier. Why did I think Ms. Harvey looked so terrifying? I must be mistaken" Manuel and the others were started to hear Ashley was outside the living room, worried she might have overheard their conversation.

They had been so engrossed in their discussion that they hadn't noticed her approach. As Ashley entered the living room, everyone's gate immediately fell on her. She put on an innocent smile, feigning ignorance. "Joseph, Lloyd, and Mamael, you're all here. Where's Frederick

Relieved by her rearing, shey concluded she must have just arrived and hadn't heard their conversation. Lloyd repbe. Frederick had in nepour for vinething. Do you need him for something. Ashley ""

Asliley said, "Is that sa? Ilsdn't seen Frederick for a long time, so I wanted to go out with him. When he's bark, please let me know on WhatsApp Manuel. I head to my room to handle some email": Manuel stated. "Sure. Con ahead, Ashley

As soon as Addey left the living room, her expression shifted to one of jealousy and resentmentText content © NôvelDrama.Org.

She thought "selina, il you want to purient to be aloud, then stay that way that accept the Harvey Eamily's shamny, esperally the female lead role In this for.

Aditry quickly grabbed a big and redel

As Ashley was leaving, she brushed past Frederick, who was entering with a dejected look. Seeing his expression, Joseph and the others could already guess the outcome.

"Maybe this is for the best. We can suggest Ashley for the female lead role, and she won't be upset later." Manuel still cared about Ashley's feelings. even though his focus on Selina had caused him to neglect Ashley quite a bit.

Frederick sat on the couch, accepting a cup of water from Lloyd. As he held it, he lowered his eyes and said, "Why did Selina refuse? Her acceptance would be to everyone's delight and satisfaction"

Joseph sensed something was amiss. Frederick, why do you say that?

Frederick explained. "Although I have some say as the original author, my input is mainly just recommending candidates for the female lead role. The investors have poured a lot of money and resources into this project. Naturally, they want it to be a huge hit. With Selina's acting skills, current popularity, and identities in Clusia, there's a 90% chance the investors would approve of her. I could recommend Ashley, but the investors might not be interested due to her current popularity. Even if Ashley's acting is excellent, she's a newcomer, and they might prefer a more established actress. It would be good enough if she could even play a supporting role

Joseph was hit by a sudden realization. "Ah, I see now why you were so intent on finding Selina. You considered this factor. How did I not think of than

Frederick sighed. "But with Selina's refusal, we need to start over. By the way, where's Ashley?"

One of them replied. "Ashley came down to the living room looking for you earlier and nearly overheard us discussing your intention to offer the female lead role in The Garne of Viego to Selina. I think she just went out Frederick responded, "I'm glad she's fine. I need to go rest for a bit

Meanwhile, Selina was enjoying her afternoon coffee when she received a call from Elaine. Elaine said cautiously, "Queen Selina, are you okay? I'm really sorry. I didn't know Mr. Barrett brought someone from the Harvey family."

Although Elaine didn't exactly know what was going on between Selina and the Harvey family, as Selina and Lydia's agent, she knew they on good terms. Elaine mused, 'I'm worried she might think I knew and set her up, which could make her resent me.

were not

Selina replied, "It's fine. Everything's been sorted out. But as compensation, I want a lavish dinner tonight, Elaine. Make sure your wallet is ready.

Seeing Selina in a joking mood, Elaine felt relieved, knowing Selina believed her. "That's good. But it's odd how the Harvey family keeps approaching you and trying to cooperate with you. They should be avoiding you. shouldn't they? It feels suspicious. Oh, by the way. Selina. I also wanted to tell you something else. Someone just came to the company asking about your cooperation with Frederick Guess who? It was Ashley""
