Chapter 510 Selena’s Shattered Hope
Upon failing to retrieve what they were after, Pierre and Selena didn’t have a reason to stick around anymore. Thus, they decided to make a move, only to realize that the door was locked from the outside. At that moment, a message appeared on the screen in their room, telling them that the waiters would usher every bidder out of the room, and no one was allowed to leave until the auction was over.
In that instant, Selena’s last glimmer of hope was shattered as she was left dumbfounded by the tight controls around the place. After all, she was initially planning to leave earlier so that she could find out who the bidder in Room 11 was and offer to buy the bracelet at a higher price. When the auction was over, she reluctantly left the building and returned to the car in disappointment.
At the sight of her disheartened look, Pierre wrapped his arms around her and said, “It seems that someone isn’t happy.”
“You don’t say. Our trip here has now become a waste of time, thanks to them!” Selena helplessly let out a sigh.
“I beg to differ. In fact, this is just the beginning. Whoever is behind this isn’t going to let us walk away empty-handed.” Pierre grunted indifferently.
Selena then gazed at Pierre. “What’re you trying to say?”
“These people are hoping that we’ll stay for a few more days. Since we didn’t get what we came for, they’re likely expecting us to stick around and go after the bidder who bought the bracelet.”
Upon hearing Pierre’s words, Selena began to feel a little edgy. “Then we should probably leave. If this is really part of something bigger, we can’t risk exposing our children to danger. They’re innocent.”
“Are you scared?”
“Nope, just worried for our children.” Selena shook her head in response.
“It’s okay. What doesn’t kill them makes them stronger. Anyway, don’t worry about the bracelet because you have my word—I will bring it back to you.”
Despite Pierre’s reassurance, Selena still couldn’t stop shuddering at the thought of their alarming situation without the slightest clue about who they were up against.
Meanwhile, Jude’s flight touched down in Springvale, then she wheeled her luggage to the castle where she once lived in for many years. While the place was full of many sweet memories between her and Satan, Jude was overwhelmed by nostalgia; she realized she had been fooling herself all this while to think that she would never come back here again.
