Chapter 1076

Selena noticed something off about Jolie's expression and asked curiously, "You don't like this place?" "No."

Jolie shook her head, suppressing the thoughts swirling in her mind, and followed Selena into the villa. "Madam, you're back."

The villa's butler greeted Selena respectfully upon seeing her.

"Yes," Selena acknowledged with a nod before saying, "Prepare a room."

"Understood," the butler replied promptly and signaled to the staff to head upstairs.

Selena glanced at Jolie. "This is where I usually stay. Feel free to explore."

Jolie nodded and asked, "Is it alright to stay as long as I want?"

"Stay as long as you like," Selena replied, her expression indifferent.

Jolie smiled, taking a couple of steps forward. "Will my brother-in-law come here?"

Selena gave her a peculiar look. "Why do you ask?"

Jolie said, "I hope he doesn't come."
