“Grandpa, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my wife back.” Trevon was hesitant to keep Selina there. He would rather they return to their mansion and cuddle than stay in the cold, unwelcoming Brady residence.
“You, son of a bitch! Sit down!” Maverick boomed. Although Maverick was usually even–tempered, he lost his cool and slammed the table when he heard Trevon. He thought, ‘What is this? Is he really putting his wife before his own grandfather? Is she all he sees now? He just got here and hasn’t even sat down yet. The moment he sees that Selina’s fine, they start acting all lovey–dovey. Now, after being stopped, he’s just going to take her away?‘
Trevon looked at Maverick with a meaningful look. It was an invisible struggle. Sit down? No way! What’s there to sit for with an old man? I’d rather go home and hug my wife!
“Well, Darling, don’t ruin my image in front of Grandpa. Do you want to prove the rumor that I’m a vixen who seduced you? Show some respect, all right? Sit down, sit down.” Selina tugged at Trevon’s clothes. With a subtle nudge from his wife, Trevon sat down obediently, though his expression remained cold.
Selina acted as a mediator and smiled gently. “Grandpa, have some tea.”
Maverick realized that Selina was trying to diffuse the situation, so he snorted and said, “Take a lesson from your wife. You used to show a little respect, but it seems you’ve gotten more arrogant lately. Do you really think you’re all high and mighty now? Remember – I’m still your grandfather, no matter what.”
“Grandpa, I didn’t mean it that way. It’s just that you suddenly visited my wife without letting me know first, and that upset. me,” Trevon said.
“Damn it! I told you, I’m not a monster. Do you think I’m going to eat your wife? Isn’t it normal for someone to want to meet their granddaughter–in–law? What’s wrong with that? But you went and got married suddenly without telling anyone. I haven’t even begun to address that!” Maverick exclaimed.
The relationship between Maverick and Trevon was beyond what anyone could imagine. Who would have guessed that the previous head of a billion–dollar empire would act like that? If someone happened to take a video of Maverick, it would surely go viral in no time. Maverick suggested they settle things over a game of chess, and Trevon didn’t hesitate to accept the challenge. Meanwhile, Selina wanted to get some fresh air, so she made an excuse to go to the bathroom and quietly slipped out first. Selina didn’t want to interfere with them, nor did she want to play the role of mediator between the two.
After stepping outside, Selina wandered through a random garden in the courtyard. Suddenly, she heard a surprised voice. “Is that you? Selina?” She turned and saw that it was Herbert. Selina responded casually, “What a coincidence! It’s only four o’clock in the afternoon, and you’re already off work, Herbert?”
Herbert frowned. “Did Grandpa ask you to come here? What did he tell you?”
“Just like what you said before, asking me to back off,” Selina refuted.
Herbert was silent for a moment.
Selina raised an eyebrow. “What’s this? Not taking the chance to gloat, Herbert? That’s not like you at all.”
“Selina, to be honest, I really underestimated you at first. Like everyone else, I thought you weren’t good enough for Trevon based on what we found out about you. And honestly, I still feel that way. But my opinion of you has shifted just a little…” Herbert said.
Based on the many hidden identities Selina had revealed and the strength she had shown in various situations, Herbert realized that she was far from ordinary. He mused, ‘Of course, how could the woman Trevon likes be just an ordinary person? Trevon’s taste isn’t so superficial that he only looks at appearances. I have only done a surface–level investigation. Who would have guessed that Selina was hiding so much? Each new identity she reveals is more impressive than the last
“Well, fine. If you’re not here to bother me, then go back to your room. I’ll sit here and enjoy the scenery,” Selina said again.
