She said to Natalie, "Natalie, forget it. It's better if I don't go down. I'm afraid that I will lose my temper and say something I might regret. Send them off and observe them, and..."
Cecilia hesitated for a moment. "What was Matthew's reaction to the photograph of Selina and the man?"
"He didn't seem to mind. He's still treating Selina as well as usual." Natalie said.
Cecilia calmed down slightly.
She nodded. "Go send them off then."
After Natalie left, Francia came over and said, "Madam Lawson, what happened between your daughter and Matthew?"
Cecilia didn't mention her daughter's intention to divorce. She forced a smile and said, "Madam Godfrey, I'm not in a good mood. Why don't we talk next time?"
Francia wasn't stupid.
She immediately said, "Then I won't bother you anymore, Madam Lawson. We'll talk next time,"
Francia couldn't find Bowie when she went downstairs.
She called Bowie.
After a while, Bowie and Francia met at the gate of the villa.
Francia wasn't satisfied with this trip.
She complained to Bowie, "Madam Lawson is in a bad mood this day. I told her about the gorgeous new-listed jewellery, but she didn't offer to buy any for me. I didn't get any benefit today,"
Bowie had no interest in listening to Francia's complaints at all. Her face was full of excitement.
Bowie even smiled at the thought of it.
Francia was dissatisfied with Bowie's smile.
She slapped Bowie's hand. "What are you smiling at! I'm doing this to prepare for your dowry, but you're still able to crack a smile."
Bowie was still smiling. "Mom, Matthew will be mine soon."
Francia was stunned.
She recalled Natalie and Cecilia's conversation from before. She couldn't help saying, "I think that Natalie said that Selina had a conflict with Matthew,"
Bowie snorted, "It's not a conflict. Selina finally realized that she can't compare with me so she has given me her place,"
Francia was skeptical about Bowie's words.
She said, "Why don't you ask your sister Natalie what happened between them?"
Bowie felt disgusted when she heard Francia's words.
She rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, I won't go to her. What kind of sister is Natalie? Does she deserve to be my sister? She doesn't help me at all. Even an outsider is better than her,"
Tobias came back at around midnight.
Natalie was waiting for him.
When Tobias returned, he was surprised to see Natalie still sitting on the couch in the living room. "Natalie, why haven't you slept yet?"
"I'm waiting for you." Natalie stood up as she spoke.
Tobias's heart ached.
"Why are you waiting for me? You should rest early." Tobias wrapped his arms around Natalie.
Natalie looked at Tobias with a pale face. "Have you been very busy recently? You come back so late these days."
Tobias's face stiffened.
Recently, he had put all his work aside. The reason why he had been leaving early and returning late was that he was looking for a way to save Selina's life.
However, all his efforts were in vain.
He had to endure the pain of watching his sister get closer to death. However, he still had to hide it from everyone as if nothing had happened.
He was doing this because Selina threatened to kill herself and told him that she wouldn't be at ease after death if he told everyone the truth.
