Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 

Joseph looked deeply at Selina’s closed door and finally turned around to leave. 

He didn’t know why she hated the Harvey family so much and was so heartless, wondering, Is it really impossible to change all this? You defeated Manuel and Lloyd and hurt Ashley, Dad, and Mom. Selina, does your heart really not hurt at all? Even though you’ve severed ties. with our family who never raised you, is it really worth you to be so jealous of Ashley, who cares about you, and to hate our family that lost you?‘ 

After Joseph left, Lydia walked to Selina’s door and knocked. “Selina, that scum is gone. He won’t bother you for now.” 

Selina opened the door and felt a slight headache. “Lydia, I feel numb. Please hug me.” 

“Sure, sure. I’ll hug you. Selina, stop thinking about it.” Lydia hurriedly held Selina in her arms and comforted her, “I took videos just now. Damn it! If that guy really hits you, we could counterattack and make him lose his reputation. Unfortunately, he stopped. Is everyone from the Harvey family sick?” 

Posting the video might have a bad influence on Selina, and it could not be used as a powerful tool to punish Joseph. 

Selina said, “You’re right. The Harvey family is very sick. There was Ashley, who enjoyed acting and pretended to be close with Selina, her several foolish brothers whom she deceived, and two self–righteous, moralizing parents who, despite disliking Selina, put on a facade of benevolence. 

Selina managed to wake up from her emotional naiveté thanks to the Harvey family. At the same time, she felt how terrible it was to have her own family. Not every family was happy. A rich and powerful family like the Harvey family that only raised problematic people was a prime example of misfortune! 

Selina was traumatized by the word family. From now on, she truly felt she didn’t need any family. Her fellow friends were enough for her. 

When Joseph returned to his room, he saw Ashley waiting there. Seeing his arrival, she hurried over and asked, “Joseph, are you okay?” 

“I’m fine. Ashley, why are you here?” asked Joseph. 

“I saw you follow Selina upstairs and vaguely sensed something was happening. I couldn’t stop you from looking for her because she is your sister, so I could only wait here. I was worried she might hurt you.” Then, Ashley lowered her head and cried.

Joseph stepped forward and patted Ashley’s head dotingly. “It’s okay, Ashley. Selina can’t hurt. me in any way. I just feel sorry for that Selina has been bullying you all 

you. I’m heartbrok this time, and even though you’ve done nothing wrong as her sister, you still have to suffer because of her jealousy.” 

Ashley said, “I’m fine, Joseph. I know Selina’s actions are all because of me. She knew I grew up in the Harvey family pampered while she was left alone in the countryside and didn’t even finish junior high school. Even if Selina has some fortunate encounters later, the pain of losing her family cannot be made up for. Plus, when Selina returned to the Harvey family, she had a miserable life. Everyone misunderstood her as a thief and treated her with prejudices. Even if I tried my best to explain, it was useless. Joseph, I hope you can understand Selina’s pain.” 

“Ashley, you’re so kind and considerate of Selina, but who is there to understand you?” Joseph was so moved by Ashley’s words that he almost cried. He mused, ‘How could I have such a kind and considerate sister? In comparison, Selina, that vicious woman, seems like a demon in human skin, while Ashley is an angel descended from heaven.” 

“I don’t need anyone’s understanding. Joseph, compared to Selina, I already have enough. I admit I’m not as beautiful as she is or as capable of making many people like me. At least I have all my brothers, Dad, and Mom, who love me and let me grow up in a carefree family” 

“That’s enough, Ashley. Stop it!” Joseph held Ashley in his arms and couldn’t help crying. He thought, ‘Heaven took a daughter from the Harvey family but granted us a better one. She’s so kind–hearted, simple, innocent, and considerate. Who wouldn’t like her and dote on her? Selina, you really deserve to die. Do you know how much pain you’re causing to an innocent girl who cares about you?” 

Ashley, who was in Joseph’s arms, trembled slightly. When no one saw her, she smirked coldly. The Harvey family would always take Ashley’s side no matter how many talents or disguises Selina had. It was an advantage that Ashley had for so many years. She must firmly hold onto her family’s support, as this was her only edge over Selina, and she couldn’t afford to lose it. The more Selina acted out, the more embarrassed Ashley was and the more difficult her life became. With that, Ashley wanted to take revenge on Selina using what the latter couldn’t have, which was family affection. 

It was nine o’clock at night. The production team announced a mission. Everyone had to return to their rooms and take out the phones the production team gave them, which had pre–installed programs that added all the guests to a group chat. The task for the night was to complete missions and play games using the group chat. Initially, everyone in the group chat was anonymous. They could guess each other’s identities, earning one point for each correct guess. Collecting points was unimportant, as it was only meant to be a game. Anyone wishing to reveal their identity could simply state their name, though it would make the game less
