Chapter 242
After saying that, Ashley sat down and glanced at Joseph, but he still didn’t respond. Then, she looked at Edwin again and happened to see him restraining his hurt expression. At that moment, she held her breath.
She felt that she was going to lose this hard–earned opportunity forever!
Lydia sat beside Charley and whispered, “Charley, what the hell are you doing? Are you just trying to mess with Ashley?”
“What? I just saw that Edwin liked playing so much, so I jumped in to mix it up a little. That way, things can develop faster and get more interesting.” Charley smiled playfully.
Lydia glanced at Edwin, then at Charley. She thought, ‘Forget it. Since these two are Trevon’s friends, there’s no way they’re actually interested in Ashley and siding with her to help deal with Selina.‘
In the next round, the one who drew the red Joker was Joseph, and the one who drew the black Joker was…
Selina.
The siblings were finally entangled! When Joseph learned the result, his calm gaze showed a rare, ever–so–slight disturbance. Everyone thought that Joseph might ask Selina to do something outrageous. After all, Joseph had suffered too much from her.
The production team had requested the participants to keep the game fun and friendly. So, there should be no prying into personal affairs or making the loser do anything overly dangerous or humiliating. This was a live stream. If Joseph brought personal grudges into the game, his reputation would instantly shatter into pieces, and even Harvey Group would be affected.
Selina was not intimidated, quietly waiting for Joseph to speak. “I choose Truth,” she said.
Joseph took a deep breath and looked at Selina. “Selina, I want to know… Who am I to you?”
Everyone was speechless. Joseph’s words caused the whole scene to fall into a rare silence.
Ashley looked at Joseph in shock. ‘Why did Joseph ask her that?‘ she wondered.
Selina herself found it unbelievable. Even if Joseph wouldn’t embarrass her during the game for the sake of his reputation, he would never say such things to Selina. For example, telling Selina to explore the mountaintop alone for ten minutes would have been the best solution. Or perhaps he set a trap for her, waiting for her to fall for it?
“I have no grudges against you. In all seriousness, this variety show is the first time I’ve met you, but you’re so hostile toward me that I want to know what I’ve done wrong in your mind,” Joseph added.
‘Or is it true that after she cut ties with the Harvey family, she has to be cruel and hate all of us, including me?‘ he pondered. When Joseph asked, he knew it was inappropriate. However, if he didn’t seize this opportunity, he felt like he would regret it. He couldn’t rid himself of this unknown discomfort in his heart.
Selina was momentarily surprised before answering, “A stranger in my sight who makes me feel uncomfortable.” She stated the fact that everyone else knew.
Joseph couldn’t help asking, “What did I do to make you uncomfortable?”
“You can only ask one question for ‘Truth. Did you cross a line or… Do you want to expose some secrets? I don’t care, but I think you do. You know what you did to make me uncomfortable!” Selina responded.
Joseph immediately shut up once Selina reprimanded him. After all, Joseph didn’t want Selina’s true identity to be exposed, as it would affect the Harvey family.
Even now, many viewers must have noticed that Selina had a close relationship with the Harvey family. Selina likely had more thoughts she didn’t want to say, but if he cornered her, the worst–case scenario that could happen would be mutually assured destruction. No matter how much he suffered, it was still Harvey Group’s reputation at stake.
Comments poured in on the livestream: [Oh shit! There really is something going on! My gut instinct was right!]
Another read: [I really think Joseph and Selina are siblings. If they aren’t, they have to be cousins!]
Another commenter wrote: [Brainstorming the plot of a million–word novel about a wealthy family competing over the inheritance.]
Someone pointed out: [I heard that the Harvey family lost a daughter 20 years ago. Judging by her age, she’d be about the same age as Queen Selina now…]
Another wrote: [Rumors are rumors, but there needs to be hard evidence. Watch out, Harvey Group will sue you for defamation!]
“Joseph.. What the hell is wrong with him? Why did he ask Selina that?” Quinton was full of questions. It was obvious that getting involved with

Selina again would only expose her identity sooner. Joseph knew this and asked a random question to get by. ‘Why did he ask a question like that… Does he care about her opinion?‘ Quinton wondered.
Manuel looked down and said, “Joseph finally understood… that Selina is his biological sister. Maybe deep down, he doesn’t want to mess with her like this.”
At first, Joseph was blinded by anger because of Selina’s actions and the harm that was done to Ashley. Once they got along with each other, however, it was impossible to deceive the instinct that came from blood ties. Selina was their sister!
