"Yes, she will be sad," Stanley chuckled. "But I won't let her sadness last too long."
"She will eventually return to that position and become my wife again."
"This is her original life."
"Your exchange was a mistake, and this mistake... should end now."
Selena looked at the man opposite with teary eyes.
What moved her was not Stanley's threat.
It was his gaze.
Like her, he had someone unforgettable in his most ignorant days of life.
The difference was that he was luckier than she was.
The girl he liked grew into a confident and strong woman under his careful care.
And her arrival, by chance or by fate, destroyed the happiness he should have had.
Two equally lonely people are most likely to resonate emotionally with each other.
Especially when one of them feels deep guilt, this empathy can reach its peak.
Selena lowered her eyelashes and bit her bloodless lips hoarsely. "... Okay."
Selena spent the entire night getting ready, and the next day when she stepped out of her house, she saw Stanley waiting for her outside the gate.
Selena was taken aback.
Stanley smiled slightly and opened the car door. "Let's go, Selena."
Selena smiled and turned to Leia behind her. "I'm going out for a bit. I should be back by noon unless something unexpected happens."
She had originally planned to go to Wang Ting to ask her father for permission to enter the research institute, but Stanley had clearly already solved that problem for her.
Leia frowned disapprovingly at Stanley but obediently replied, "Yes, Miss Selena."
Osvaldo held significant power within the Alliance - most of which belonged in shady areas. Furthermore, he hadn't been around here in a while and had accumulated a lot of work that needed attention.
As a nobleman from Wang Ting's family, Stanley could undoubtedly help Selena more openly than Osvaldo could.
She would have no choice but to rely on this man.
Selena lifted up her dress and got into the back seat of his black sports car.
The car drove away from suburban townships towards Central City - as it was known as Alliance's main city with an advanced level of development beyond imagination.
Every road building here was exceptionally clean-cut with rich aesthetics; its walls were so clean they almost reflected light off them like mirrors.
At Central City's heart lay an architectural complex surrounded by vast lawns.
Outside two five-meter-high gates stood military men in uniform, carrying long guns and standing tall. A black sports car parked outside the gates, and a soldier immediately approached it.
A hand reached out from the car window and handed over a document.
The man looked at the seal on the document and was stunned. He then respectfully bowed before opening the gate from inside.
The black sports car slowly slid inside.
