Seeing that Russell didn't bring up the Johnson family, Selena didn't continue the topic either.

"Alright, thank you," she said sincerely.

Russell replied, "She's my friend too. If she's in trouble, it's only right I help. Wait for my update." After saying that, he hung up the phone. Selena put down her phone and clasped her hands together in prayer.

"Ave, please be safe."

Behind her, the door opened, and Aaron walked in.

He glanced at her worried face, pursing his lips before asking, "Did you just ask Russell for help?"

Selena looked at him briefly before sitting down on the sofa. "Another person means another bit of strength. You and Lucas are both unreliable!"

Selena glanced at him, suddenly thinking about how the Fletcher family had always made things difficult for her.

She felt wronged, and her face showed her frustration.

"You're all big jerks."

"That's going too far." Aaron walked over, grabbed her chin, and looked at her unkindly, then leaned in to kiss her.
