Selene’s petty tricks were ruthlessly exposed by my words. Her face turned sour, but she still tried to maintain her superior demeanor. “Are you convinced that Logan and I have something going on?”

Did she really need anyone else’s confirmation? Didn’t she know full well what she had done?

Selene’s face turned pale, and her hands clenched the hem of her shirt tightly.
