Chapter 1353

Livid, Caroline turned to their front only to be flabbergasted by the two familiar faces when she looked up. Trevor? Duff?

Hurt by the tugging, Selena slightly frowned as she looked up, only to be rendered speechless when their eyes met. Trevor was chatting while it happened, stumped for a few seconds when he looked over to see who had interrupted.

"Caroline? What are you doing here?"

Caroline's face fell as she snapped back into reality. However, she only got more upset when she checked the serial number of the collector's album in her hand.

Nine? Her book?!

She then flipped it open to find a long line of Jopenzo, evidently more words than Victoria's. Clearly, more words were added. In an instant, her face was livid with rage.

The book was back in her hands, but right then, the collector's album she had been longing for was like money that had fallen into the sewer; absolutely disgusting whether she chose to keep it or not! Worst, the culprits were her brother and Duff! She couldn't lash out even if she wanted to!

Caroline chewed on her lips, evidently upset when she had to bottle up her anger!

Trevor noticed it then, taking a gander at Selena in bafflement. Selena's expression, on the other hand, didn't look too good either, awkwardly chuckling when a familiar face had criticized her and in front of an outsider at that.

"I took it from a table when we were walking around in the exhibition in the afternoon. I thought no one wanted it... The attendant said I can ask for an autograph and attend this panel with it, so I did. But no one asked me to pay for it or said it belonged to someone. I didn't know..."

Trevor followed merely to keep her company, having no interest in this sort of thing. So he had no memory of the panel in the afternoon. But when she said there was another panel she could attend for free at night, and he happened to have a client and friend attending, he said yes.

He was clueless about the ins and outs, but seeing how upset his little sister was and that the two were butting heads while an outsider was next to them, he tried to smooth things over.

"C'mon, it's just a book. Take it if you like it!"

However, his indifference only made things worse, and Caroline instantly blew a fuse.

"Just a book?! I traveled all the way here and spent over an hour and a million dollars to get this limited edition! I had wanted to gift this to my sister-in-law as a thank you present! One for each of us! If you're so great, go and make an identical set; make book six and book nine, and have Ichi Miyamoto sign my name and write the message I want him to leave!"

With that, she chucked the book at Trevor.

"Easy for you to say! Of course, you feel nothing when it has nothing to do with you! If you're so great, try and get collector's items for nothing then! If I hadn't kept the receipt, I wouldn't have even been able to come in! I would've come to Barrington City for nothing! How did I end up with a brother like you?! All you do is favor outsiders!"

"Since you like your cousin so much, stay with her then!"
