She hadn't called this good friend of hers for a long time.
She believed that the news she would be bringing to Selina at this moment would definitely "lighten" her mood!
After leaving the Whitlock family home, Selina decided to get another mobile phone. Matthew then accompanied her to buy a it.
While Matthew was paying the bill, Selina was installing her SIM card into her phone.
As soon as she was done installing, her cell phone rang.
Selina was a little confused.
"What a coincidence," she thought.
It showed that the call was from the US.
Could it be a family member?
The Whitlock family was rooted in the United States, but the relatives seldom contacted each other.
Selina picked up the phone in confusion.
"Selina. Long time no see." A woman's voice
sounded.
Selina's hand, which was holding the phone, tightened.
She didn't expect it to be Caroline.
"You still dare to call me?" Selina asked.
"Why can't I call you? You're my best friend, I have to know how you are doing," Caroline said with sarcasm.
Selina's tone was calm, "Don't worry. I'm fine. It seems that you're the one not doing so well. Otherwise, you wouldn't have called me."
Selina's words hit Caroline's sore spot.
Caroline was indeed not living well.
Living in Reid's villa every day was like hell for her.
The only motivation for her to stay was to get revenge on Selina.
Caroline suppressed her emotions and said, "It doesn't matter whether I'm good or not. But Selina, do you still think your life is perfect like it seems?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Of course it does."
"I don't want to talk nonsense with you. I'm hanging up. I will give you one last piece of advice, Caroline. Since you have arrived in the United States, forget the past. You are still young and have a wonderful future waiting for you. Let the past vanish like smoke."
Caroline clenched her fists so tightly that blue veins stood out on her skin.
Let bygones be bygones?
It was easy to say!
How could it all be just gone like that?
If one were stabbed in the heart, could one pretend nothing had ever happened?
Of course not!
Caroline said in anger, "Selina, Matthew has another woman."
Selina's hand, which was about to hang up the phone, froze.
The corners of her lips curled up coldly. "Caroline, you're really crazy. How could you say something like that? I'll tell you that Matthew only has me in his heart."
"You sure are confident," Caroline mocked.
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Caroline chuckled and said, "I happen to have a friend who knows a woman's servant. The servant told me that the famous Matthew would go to her mistress's place at night. I heard that he will be going over tonight. Do you think that it's true?"
If Caroline had said anything else, there wouldn't be any reaction from Selina.
But this sentence...
Her expression froze.
Because she remembered the sudden disappearance of Matthew last night.
"Stop spouting nonsense here," Selina spoke after a while.
"You'll know if I'm saying nonsense or not. However, don't be so foolish as to tell Matthew now. He's so smart, he definitely won't be caught by you. You can secretly follow him at night," Caroline said with a smile.
Selina hung up the phone right away.
Her face turned a little red because of anger.
Matthew walked over. He was done paying the bill.
He naturally held Selina's hand. "Let's go back."
Selina glanced at Matthew, and his expression was just as usual.
Her lips moved, but she did not say anything.
Natalie's advice that a couple ought to trust one another lingered in her head. So did what Caroline had said a while ago.
Those words were fighting like two factions inside her head.
