Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina) novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118 

Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Selina quirked the corner of her lips, admiring the manicure she had just finished as she rose gracefully. “Alright, Lydia, time for me to greet the guest and have some fun.” 

“Okay” 

By the time Selina arrived in the living room, Lauren was pacing anxiously, looking like a bundle of nerves. As soon as she saw Selina, she rushed over as if she had seen a lifesaver, trying to grab Selina’s hand but was smoothly avoided without a word. 

“Lauren, if you have something to say, say ii. Don’t tug at me and ruin my fresh manicure.” 

Lauren began tentatively, almost pleading. “Selina, I know it was my daughter who messed up, but we are family after all. Can’t you just not pressure Trevon to kick Madelyn out of the Hudson family?” 

Selina let out a cold laugh. “You remember we’re family now? I seem to recall you and Madelyn lord it over me before. And when you tried to ruin my reputation, did you consider me Trevon’s wife?” 

“All the wrongs are Madelyn’s fault, I admit. But she’s still a child: She doesn’t understand!” 

“The first time I’ve ever seen a twenty–year–old child. She’s legally an adult and it’s time she took responsibility for her actions. I’ve let my husband handle this. If you want to beg for mercy, go talk to him. 

After those words, Selina instructed Devin to see her out. 

Lauren, realizing there would be no sympathy from Selina, clutched her purse tight with a resentful expression. “Selina, don’t you gloat! I won’t let this go easily.” 

Without turning back, Selina responded coolly, Lauren, safe travels, no need for me to walk you out. 

Once Lauren had left, Devin, who vaguely knew the background of the incident, approached Selina to offer a word of caution: “Looks like Mrs. Lauren Hudson is about to play her trump card.” 

“Trevon’s biological mother? I heard she remarried a foreigner and settled abroad. Let her play whatever card she brings to the table. I trust my husband will handle it fairly” 

Trevon came home later that evening and joined Selina for dinner, discussing the matter of expelling Christina and Madelyn from the Hudson family due to her misconduct. 

“Wow, Honey, you sure move fast. Not only did you reveal yourself as Angel, but you also found out it was Madelyn who bought the troll accounts against you. You really are… Trevon trailed off, thinking how addictive it was to uncover Selina’s secret identities that she herself was unaware of. 

“No biggie.” For Selina, Madelyn’s sloppy schemes were child’s play; she’d uncovered the truth with little effort, continuing to serve the meal, “Come, honey, you’ve had a tough day. Try the shrimp I peeled for you.” 

“It’s me who should be taking care of you, after the sweet surprise you’ve given me. Trevon peeled a lobster for Selina–it was fresh, flown in earlier that day, and prepared by a five–star chef, so tender it practically melted in their mouths. 

Then, an inconvenient phone ring broke the moment. Trevon frowned ever so slightly–ordinarily, he would silence his business phone while dining with Selina to avoid any disturbances. If someone was calling now, it had to be on his private line. Seeing the caller ID, Trevon wasn’t surprised and chose to turn off his phone. 

“You’re not gonna answer your mom? Selina noticed. 

I’ve made up my mind. My wife isn’t someone just anyone can mess with. As for Christina and Madelyn, I already gave them a chance out of family loyalty. It’s their loss for not cherishing it.”

“Whoa, boyfriend power is off the charts! But what if your mom thinks I’m the bad influence, and she comes back just to 

cause me trouble?” 

Selina looked at Trevon with feigned worry, and he simply touched her head with a smile. “Do what you want to do, don’t worry about me. I trust you. 

Selina’s face lit up. That’s all I needed to hear, babe 

Trevon’s gaze turned sultry. “Talking about how you pretended to be a guy when you were Angel, even saying you were into 

men… 

Patting herself on the back, Selina burst out laughing, “I was just having a bit of wicked fun. But I always knew my hero could handle it, you answered perfectly, a hundred points.” 

“My dear, I prefer actions speak louder than words to describe me. Why don’t we give that a real try? Hmm?” 

“Yikes! Honey, I just remembered I’ve got a package I forgot to open. I’ll be upstairs. Bye for now.” Before Trevon could react. Selina had dashed off. 

Trevon was left standing there, burning with unfulfilled desire, shaking his head helplessly. Married to such a wife who wouldn’t feed the flame, tonight was bound to be another sleepless one.
