Chapter 272
Selina had already unearthed that truth in her past life. As the top hacker on the Dark Web, no amount of evidence erasure by Quinton could hide the truth from her. Selina could always find a hint, a loose thread to unravel the entire story.
Selina had seen how the Harvey family had doted on Ashley Revealing the muth would break their hearts, especially Sara’s Sara would refuse to believe Selina, dismissing her words as jealousy to smear Ashley’s name.
With so many factors weighing on her, Selina chose to keep the secret locked away, festering inside her. After being rebom, she mentioned nothing of it, having resolved to distance herself from the Harvey family. Whether Ashley’s true identity was revealed or not was their concern. If the truth ever came to light and chaos ensuril, Selina planned to simply step aside and enjoy the drama
I’ve got some gossip for you. From what I’ve heard, Ashley’s birth mother has quietly returned to Sokovis. Whatever she’s scheming, though, you’ll have to dig up the details yourself,” Trevon added.
“She’s back” Knowing Quinton, after taking Ashley and passing her off as his and Sara’s deceased daughter, he’d either get rid of Ashley’s biological mother or give her enough money to vanish forever from Chisia,” Selina speculated.
“Well, it’s your job to dig deeper. Trevon teased.
“Where’d you pick up such a naughty habit” Selina grumbled, playfully pinching his nose while thinking, ‘He’s still trying to uncover my Phantom identity
Trevon lightly nipped at Selina’s fingertips and teased. That is, if you’re willing to give me 50 kisses.
“What?” Selina gasped, thinking, He’s become so cheeky! Taking advantage of a situation like this.
In her previous life, Ashley’s mother vanished after taking the money. Selina pondered, “Could my rebirth and the changes I’ve made have triggered a butterfly effect? Or perhaps… Trevon is involved somehow I’ll need to dig into this more thoroughly‘
Upon seeing Selina lost in thought. Trevan sofily whispered in her ear, “Honey, I don’t usually meddle in what you do, but keep in mind you’re still my secretary for a few more days. And don’t forget – we have a banquet to attend tomorrow night.”
Selina shot him a sideways glance and joked, “If you keep showing up at all these banquets, you might shatter that mysterious image of yours. You never used to be a fan of these events.”
Things have changed. With you as my secretary, I’m excited to flaunt you everywhere. Trevon boasted.
Ugh, Selina groaned, reflecting. He’s getting more childish by the day. Whatever happened to keeping me as his secret? Now, he wants to show me off but worries about other men wanting me. Is this a common issue for men?‘
With her lips coated in cupcake frosting Selana started planting kisses all over Trevon’s face. His elegant features soon became adorned with swirls of cream and frosting, and she kept at it until she reached the 49th kiss.
“Where’s the last one. Honey! I’ve been keeping count. Trevon said, pointing to his lips. “Don’t just focus on my checks. Make sure to kiss here, too”
“As expected of a businessman, sharp with numbers. I’ll stop here, though I can manage the investigation on my own. No need for your help. Hmph Selina huffed.
She had already come so close to him but chose to stop just short of the final step. I wasn’t Trevon himself that caused her hesitation but a matter of showing her love while maintaining her own pride
“You’ve certainly got some backbone. Fine. After all those 49 kisses, Ill share” T
– Trevon started.
“La–la–la – I can’t hear you! I figure it out myself. I’m off to shower. Catch you later,” Selina interrupted, sprinting away after her declaration
Sitting by himself on the sofa, Trevon wiped away the frosting smeared across his face with his hands. Eventually, he licked the frosting off his fingers, his eyes gleaming as of craving more
As night descended the following day, a sleek Maybach halted in front of a luxurious seven–star hotel. Heads turned as people took note of the license plate.
Trevon arrived at the banquet with Selina, stepping out of the car in a custom–tailored suit that raditied sophistication.

“Is it still even a rumor! Anyone with eyes can see they’re a perfect match!” another observer exclaimed.
“Oh, I’m totally against this relationship someone added sarcastically.
“Let’s not talk about Mr. Brady, who is not only young and leads Insight Group to a higher level but also has such a frightening talent. Selina is no slouch either managing a host of identities with ease, another person said.
“Internationally acclaimed jewelry designer Angel, world racing champion Flying Shadow, the lead guitarist of some band, Meteorite Queen, an herbalist, and a student of a famous opera singer. My daughter nearly gave up after seeing Selina’s resume. She’s on another level someone joked. Upon entering the hotel. Trevon and Selina were met by two familiar faces. “Uncle Keith, Herbert,” they greeted.
Keith hummed in response, casting a conflicted glance at Selina before focusing on Trevon. “I didn’t expect to see you here, Trevon,” he remarked.
Trevon replied casually. “I haven’t seen the need to come before, so I left you to handle everything here, Uncle Keith. Now, I’m keen on showing my wife around and introducing her to more people!
Keith was left speechless, unable to believe Trevon’s words. ‘Is he really bragging about his wife? Ahem! Was my nephew, whom I’ve always been so proud of, really this superficial?‘ he wondered.
Meanwhile. Herbert had grown accustomed to it. He had previously wondered why Trevon was so enamored with Selina, given the many other better women who could potentially boost his career. But right then, Herbert was starting to understand the reasons.
Selina was an exceptional devil, with Trevon being the only one who could rivall her. It was clear those two were destined to be together, each a devil in their own right.
“Do as you wish,” Keith said with a hint of resignation. While he ignored Selina’s presence, he no longer treated he once did. He turned and walked away,

announced.
“Go ahead.” Trevon replied.
Selina rested her hand on her chin and remarked. “It’s not just my imagination. Uncle Keith’s attitude toward me has definitely softened since he used to act like he wanted me out of his sight
“The Brady family, including Uncle Keith, are all realists. While he’s been kind to me, as a businessman, especially one from the Brady family, profit always comes first. With your many world–renowned identities and your fame from ‘Serenity of Rural Life: Uncle Keith has come to appreciate your worth. You’ve certainly saved me a lot of hassle, Trevon clarified.
