Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 

How strange..” Maverick mused. “What a pity. Maybe I could have recognized your master if I knew his name.” Maverick loved playing chess, and he had met countless powerful players around the world. Selina’s mentor must be no ordinary person if he could train her to be such a great chess player! 

“My master is a free soul and likes to travel around the world. I want to see him again as well. When I do, I’ll be sure to know his real name.” Selina assured. 

“Alright, girl, enough idle chat. Play a few more games with this old man. I make Trevon play with me every time he comes! He gets competitive, though. I can only barely win a few games with him…. Ah, but you can’t go easy on me!” Maverick exclaimed. 

Selina continued chatting with him as they played a few more rounds of chess. In the end, Selina won every time. Maverick was highly skilled, but Selina was better, winning by a narrow margin every time. 

“Well, well, I admit defeat. You’re really good, girl,” Maverick conceded. 

His tone was slightly bitter. Selina had stayed true to her word and refused to let him win just so he might enjoy himself. She was just as rigid as Trevon when it came to chess. 

“Good game, Grandpa,” Selina replied. She packed up the chess pieces, then continued, “But you didn’t ask me to come here today just to play chess. It’s getting late. Say your piece.” 

Jovially, Maverick chuckled, “Why can’t we just play chess? Do you think I’m going to break you and Trevon up? This is none of my business. I’m retired now. I’m free and I don’t have any debts. Why would I stir up trouble for myself? I’d just be hated until the end. I don’t want anyone spitting on my grave.” 

For a moment, Selina didn’t know how to reply. ‘I thought Maverick would be the greatest obstacle to face, but he’s acting as if it has nothing to do with him,‘ she thought. ‘It seems that… This isn’t as complicated as I feared. On the contrary, this is rather easy to solve.’ 

She asked, “Will you not stop me from being with Trevon?” 

Maverick shrugged. “I never intended to stop you. But just because I think this way, girl, it doesn’t mean others will. Trevon’s position is on thin ice. Countless people are watching him, and their eyes will be on you whether he succeeds or fails. You won’t be able to escape, especially as his legal wife.” 

Selina suddenly realized his intentions and said, “Ah, I got it. You asked me here to warn and tell me to retreat while I still 

can.” 

“Even if you say so, I don’t think you look like someone who would back down in the face of difficulty. You must be exceptionally gifted to marry Trevon and become the Brady family’s head lady. You have to assist him, and the position is not as comfortable as you think. In a way, the pressure is no less than what Trevon is facing now,” Andrew said. 

His eyes gleamed. Though this was their first meeting, he could sense that Selina was a smart woman who understood what he was thinking. 

“From the day I married Trevon and knew his identity, I knew I would never be able to stay out of trouble and live a leisurely life. I’ve been aware all this time. Thank you for being willing to share. I’ll take this as your way of protecting me.” Selina beamed, and Andrew responded without hesitation. 

Selina and Trevon were only in a contractual marriage relationship now. It had nothing to do with love. No matter how the relationship between them developed, Selina knew what she was going to face when she signed a contract with Trevon and moved out of the troubled Harvey family. For a year, she would be obedient and fulfill the contract. She had absolute confidence in her ability. If the Brady family wants to stand against me, why not step on them?‘ Selina thought. 

“Then that’s good,” Andrew said.

Soon. Trevon walked in After confirming with his own eyes that Selina was safe and sound. Trevor’s cold face Sally softened. He nodded at Andrew and greeted, “Grandpa.” 

Andrew raised his eyebrows. “What? Are you relieved? You don’t have any etiquette. You think I’d do anything in your wife** 

“Of course, I’d be worried. This is the woman I love most. Even if you don’t have any ulterior motives, I have to confirm ng wife’s safety with my own eyes before I can rest assured, Trevon’said.
