Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina) novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 

Sara temporarily put aside her suspicions about Ashley. 

No matter what, the press conference had to produce satisfactory results for the shareholders of the Harvey Group and restore the Harvey family’s reputation. More importantly, Sara believed in Ashley. Even if those photos were real, they were just a momentary lapse in judgment for Ashley. Once she comes to her senses and opens up, she’ll go back to being the innocent and pure person she once was. 

Soon, Sara and the others responsible for the press conference stepped onto the stage. Cameras clicked and countless spotlights focused on Sara and her team. The event was being streamed live online. Many viewers flooded into the livestream. 

[Who would’ve thought that a rich heiress who looks so innocent on the outside would be so wild in secret! Impressive, impressive.] 

[Two foreign men, one after another, Can Ashley’s small frame even handle them?] 

(Disgusting trolls, get lost! Don’t you see the Harvey Group is about to hold a press conference to clear things up!] 

[Oh, Ashley’s fans are here, too? Don’t even bring up being overshadowed by Queen Selina. Doesn’t everyone know how dirty the entertainment industry is? And still, this heiress is rushing headfirst into it She’s obviously well–versed in the unspoken rules ] 

[I’ve heard that the private lives of top–tier families are a complete mess. Today, I’ve learned something new. It seems the rumors of taking her own life are true.] 

The comments flashed rapidly across the screen, filled with various jests about Ashley’s scandal. The reporters clearly didn’t expect such a turn of 

events. 

After all, it was a major scandal involving a wealthy heiress, and it was linked to self–harm. Although the Harvey Group had immediately blocked the news and issued various clarifications to dispel the public’s doubts, the appearance of these photos reignited the rumors of Ashley’s self–harm The situation was spiraling out of control because she had a reason to take her own life. Her terrible private life had been exposed, leading her to a moment of despair and the choice to end her life. 

At this moment, Quinton, the chairman, not personally stepping forward would be inexcusable. Mishandling this could result in stock price fluctuations worth billions, making it difficult to answer to the shareholders. 

Sara, dressed in a smart professional suit and wearing light makeup to cover the aging caused by recent events, deftly avoided the issue. With concise words and a steady presence, she deftly handled one tricky question after another from the reporters. 

All the information had been prepared and memorized by Sara, who was well–practiced in delivering smooth responses. 

It must be said that Sara certainly had what it took to be a strong businesswoman. Just the way she navigated the scandal under the scrutiny of countless spotlights and quickly adjusted her mindset to face the reporters‘ pointed questions about her precious daughter and concerns about Quinton’s health was enough to deliver a satisfactory performance. 

Frederick and Lloyd did their utmost to assist Sara, all the while gaining a renewed appreciation for their mother’s capabilities. 

Although they knew Sara was formidable, after she gave birth to Joseph, she stepped back to become a stay–at–home wife. At that time, the eldest, Patrick, was only six years old and didn’t have much memory of it. These children had never seen Sara’s commanding presence at a press conference. Knowing was one thing, but seeing it with their own eyes was quite another. 

While watching Sara, Lydia couldn’t help but glance at Selina who was beside her. 

I have to admit, blood ties are truly powerful. This version of Selina indeed bore a striking resemblance to Sara–they were mother and daughter by blood, a bond that could never be severed. And yet, it was someone like Sara who was Selina’s biological mother. If it were someone else, how much better would that be? she thought. 

Lydia often said she didn’t want Selina to find her family, as it would mean less time to be with Selina, and her importance in Selina’s hear would decrease. But she still hoped that Selina could find a family that truly cherished her, so Selina wouldn’t be like them, orphans from the start, with no one to search for, and having to treat the school as their home 

They were mother and daughter, finally reunited, and yet it had come to this. 

Lydia felt inexplicably sad for Selina 

Selina held Lydia’s hand. Meeting Lydia’s gaze, Selina smiled and said. “Lydia, don’t overthink it I’m already very happy now because I have you by 

my side” 

It was only after losing something that you treasure what you had. To say she didn’t resent or regret her fallout with the Harvey family would be a 

1. e. But when one door closes, another opens. Selina got to stay in the school where she met her loving mentor and seniors. It also gave her another chance to start over. Seling would cherish that and be contem 

“Don’t worry, Selina, I’ll always be by your side. Lydia said solemnly. 

11:35 AM 

Chapter 200 

In Lydia’s heart, Selina was her sister. The Harvey family didn’t treasure this p precious gem, but she would. She would cherish Selina dearly, to the point of making the Harvey family regret it. 

Sara’s sharp gaze swept over the reporters below, aiming to reinforce her presence as the chairman’s wife and minimize any negative impact. Even though Sara had been away from the business world for many years, her presence was still formidable. Many reporters gained a new understanding of the Harvey Group’s chairman’s wife, whom they had never really known before.
