Chris's deep eyes became sharper. "You were deceived by him. That man is not what you think he is!"
Selena frowned, feeling disgusted by the idea of being manipulated. She avoided the other person's direct and almost invasive gaze and said with some mockery, "The premise for all deceit is gain. When I first met him, I had nothing that was worth his effort to scheme against."
"Did Osvaldo deceive her?" Chris asked.
Selena found this question a bit amusing. When she met Osvaldo, he had a notorious reputation and she had nothing.
She wondered, why would he go through such trouble to deceive her?
Chris's breath caught in his throat as he looked at Selena's tender cheeks, and he remembered the things that Selena had gone through when Osvaldo took her away. A hint of pity flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't bring himself to say the rest of what he wanted to say.
"And..." Selena paused, her eyes growing cold as she looked at him. "My affairs have nothing to do with you!"
After speaking, she walked away.
Chris stared at her back, his eyes filled with a deep sense of resentment. Suddenly, he asked, "Are you going to capital?"
"No," Selena replied, her voice cold.
Chris was taken aback, then seemed to understand something, and he sneered confidently, "No, you will."
Selena didn't say anything and walked into the campus with her backpack.
After watching her disappear from sight, Chris turned around and got into his car, saying in a cold voice, "Go back to capital!"
He was going to take back the woman he had lost from Osvaldo's hands!
...
The next period of time passed peacefully.
On the day when Selena removed the bandage from her knee, the crew of "Breaking Ground" returned from Tonyan Town.
It happened to be the weekend, and she went to the airport to pick up Hattie.
As soon as Selena arrived at the gate, Hattie ran out from inside and jumped into her arms, hugging her tightly. "Selena, I missed you so much!"
Selena looked at the little girl. They hadn't seen each other for over a month, and Hattie had grown taller and her cheeks were rosy. The emptiness in her eyes had diminished, and she seemed more lively, indicating that she had been doing well during this time.
Selena smiled and took her to the car.
The car drove all the way to the Olympus Group.
The crew members worked hard for three months and now they have returned triumphantly. As the screenwriter and director, she invited everyone to dinner with Luke's reminder.
Luke had already booked the hotel for her early on. Selena took Hattie to the castle and when they arrived, everyone else had already gathered.
Selena sat down with Hattie, and Leia sat next to her, helping her apprentice with the food.
Hattie is still growing and filming has made her thin, so Leia needs to take good care of her.
Selena was very conscientious when choosing actors in the beginning. Due to Hattie, the crew also took good protective measures, so even if Selena was absent for these three months, there were no major conflicts within the entire crew.
The overall filming went smoothly.
After drinking for a while, Estrella went to the bathroom. She washed her hands and applied lipstick in front of the mirror. As she turned around, someone approached her and the lipstick accidentally smeared onto the other person's skirt.
