As she spoke, she took note of Selina's expression. "I don't believe his statement at all. It must be that woman playing a trick."
"Erine, don't think too much. Everything is over now."
Erine held her breath.
"Is it true?"
"It's true," Selina said in a definite tone.
"When will Matthew come back?"
"He'll be back soon."
"Then, what about those messy rumors?" Erine hesitated.
Selina's eyes twitched slightly.
Her eyes darted around. "Erine, since this is in the past, I believe that those messy rumors will certainly die down."
Erine suddenly cheered up.
She pointed at the basket in her hand and said, "Miss Whitlock, look, there are a lot of new vegetables in the vegetable garden. Do you want some?"
She looked at the basket in Erine's hand. There were all kinds of vegetables in it, which were green and lovely indeed.
She remembered that she hadn't had a good meal in a long time.
"Yes, please cook tonight. I will also invite a guest to have dinner with me," she said.
Erine was taken aback.
This was the first time that Selina had invited a guest for dinner.
She saw that Erine was in daze, thus she raised the corner of her eyebrows. "Can't I invite a guest over for dinner?"
"Of course you can!" Erine raised her voice and said, "Miss Whitlock, you are the lady of the Perry family. How can you not? You can invite as many people as you want. I'll go and get things ready."
Erine hurried into the villa.
Selina looked at the vegetable garden.
The vegetables in the vegetable garden grew really well. It could be seen that Erine had spent a lot of time and energy to take care of them.
After a while, Selina took out her phone and made a call to Lothar.
The guests that she wanted to invite that night were Lothar and Yesseca.
Without those two siblings, she was afraid she might not have been able to handle it after the crowd had besieged her.
Now that she had time, she wanted to properly thank Yesseca and Lothar.
Reid and Caroline knew about what happened to Saoirse as Liselle had called to inform them.
Caroline's expression was bad. "Saoirse has always been fine. How did she suddenly get leukemia? Moreover, there has been no matching bone marrow."
Reid's face was a little gloomy.
Saoirse was a pawn that he valued very much. He didn't expect that this pawn would no longer have any use now.
"Mr. Perry, what do you think we should do now?" Caroline started to panic.
Reid's face darkened and he did not speak.
"Why don't I call Saoirse to see what's going on?" Caroline suggested.
"Don't call!" Reid immediately said, "Now that Saoirse is with Matthew, you will only expose yourself if you call her."
"So, do we just sit here and do nothing?"
Reid's lips curled up. "You've forgotten that you still have a pawn."
Caroline's breathing froze.
"Are you talking about Nadia?"
Reid nodded heavily. "Now it's time to put this woman to good use."
Caroline thought for a moment and said, "Nadia's matters are no longer a problem, but how can we push it onto Selina?"
Reid glanced at Caroline and said, "That will depend on you."
Caroline paused.
She looked at Reid alertly. "What do you mean?"
Reid gave a cold smile. "Don't worry. I didn't mean anything. Don't you hate Selina? Now it's time for her to face the consequences."
The driver personally sent Lothar and Yesseca to the Perry family estate.
It was the first time that Yesseca had been to such a big villa and she was ecstatic.
She looked around and said, "Miss Whitlock, your home is really big and beautiful."
Of course, Lothar could recognize that this was Matthew's home.
