Chapter 162
Yasmin also took Lauren’s side, and they chatted away, making Viola roll her eyes. She shut up and couldn’t be bothered to speak anymore.
This was also why Viola lived abroad and seldom returned to Sokovis. Many gossiping relatives constantly pestered her because she was Trevon’s biological mother, trying to get some benefits. She was so annoyed by them and thought it was better to live freely and happily abroad.
Silas didn’t intervene. While he doted on his two granddaughters, Madelyn and Christina, they were nothing compared to the benefits of the Hudson family. At that time, Trevon personally called Silas, speaking in a tone that left no room for discussion, almost like giving an order. He completely disregarded Silas as his grandfather acted arrogantly and trampled on the latter’s status and dignity. This was what made Silas angry most.
Unfortunately, Silas was old. Even in his younger days, he didn’t dare offend Trevon and could only vent all his anger on Selina. He didn’t believe he could control Selina himself. Glancing at his watch, he uttered, “It’s almost time.”
At this time, Viola’s phone rang. “It’s Selina,” stated Viola, who then put it on speaker and said, “Selina, are you here?”
Hearing it was Selina, Lauren chuckled and exclaimed, “She sure is a star. She made us wait for so long. The world truly has changed!”
Selina explained, “Sorry, Viola. There’s something urgent, and I can’t go now. I’ll have to cancel it. To make up for today, I’ll treat everyone to a meal someday.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and exclaimed inwardly, ‘What?‘ Even Viola was confused and asked, “Selina, what do you mean?”
Seline added, “It’s Trevon. He wants to talk to me about something important. Viola, you don’t hope to see our relationship turn sour, do you? Of course, he’s my priority between him and the Hudson family. After all, he’s the person I spend my life with, not the Hudson family, right?”
Viola was speechless, didn’t know what Selina was up to, and was suddenly at a loss for words. Silas was the first to react, exploding with anger. “Selina! How dare you! We’ve all been here waiting for you, and you suddenly say you can’t come because something came up? Do you have any respect for our family?”
“Granddad, what’s wrong? Don’t you believe Selina?” Trevon’s indifferent voice suddenly frightened Silas.
Although Silas was Trevon’s grandfather, deep down, he was fearful and in awe of the latter. He could fight his way out against a top–notch family such as the Brady family and even forced his parental grandfather, the head of the family and the main branch of the family, to hand over the pinnacle of power. With that, Trevon was not as simple as he appeared.
“Oh, Dear. Darling, Granddad is getting old and can’t handle being startled like that. Don’t show up so suddenly. If anything happens to him, the Hudson family will blame me again, saying that I’m a troublemaker or a vixen. How awful would that be for me!” exclaimed Selina.
After Selina said that, Trevon changed his tone instantly. “Granddad, don’t be mad. I have an urgent matter that only Selina can handle. It’s related to a jewelry design project for Brilliance worth several million dollars. She’s responsible for it. Business is important, so I hope you understand. Darling, we’re late. We have to go now.”
Selina added, “He’s right. That’s what happened. Sorry. We have to hang up now.”
The couple hung up before the Hudson family could react.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
When Viola heard the beeping sound, her face fell. Although she knew Selina was innately rebellious and didn’t like to follow the rules, she never expected that the latter would dare to stand them up like this.

Chapter 162
Lauren came back to her–strses and stapped the table in anger. How dare they! This is outrageous! Dad they just don’t take you seriously at all
Yasmin growled, “She’s right. Dad, we must not spoil Selina this time. She’s clearly disrespecting our family and even delberately toying with us! How dare she drag Trevon into this. Damn it! What exactly is happening to Trevon? Why is he so bewitched by a woman that he ignores his family
“Are you saying Trevon is so bewitched by a woman that he’s disregarding even me, his grandfather? Are you really going to keep making trouble for Selina‘ If Trevon gets angry and starts placing blame, which of you can handle it? Or should I take on the responsibility?” muttered Silas
Lauren and Yasmin immediately fell silent. It was no joke that even Silas was afraid of offending Trevon. Although they were Trevon’s aunts–in–law, they were just distant relatives who med to gain benefits from him. If he got angry, he could easily dismiss Christina and Madelyn, let alone them. They could very well be next.
