Gavin paused for a moment, then picked up his phone to call Selena.

But no one answered.

Frowning, he headed downstairs and ran into Mrs. Gill, who had come by again today.

Mrs. Gill had thought things over the previous night and, after glancing at her daughter Nara, decided she couldn't be ungrateful. She had come to persuade Gavin to see Selena's true colors and not to let go of Keira.

As soon as she walked in, she saw Gavin rushing down the stairs, looking flustered. She immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Gavin frowned. "Selena's gone."

Mrs. Gill said, "Where did she go? Gavin, you really need to think carefully about this. Selena isn't someone you can trust! She even buried he father in the backyard—she can't possibly be sincere with you!"

Gavin shook his head immediately. "That's not true, Aunt. Selena only did that because her mom forced her to. Her father died, and her mom didn't want to take the blame, so she made Selena help. Selena wasn't behind any of it… Plus, she's sick now… Could she have hidden the deed to the house because she doesn't want me to sell it? Maybe she's doing it for my sake."

At that thought, Gavin's eyes reddened as a wave of emotion washed over him.

Gill was speechless. "Gavin, Selena's not that noble. If she were, she wouldn't have been fighting for the family fortune all this time! She's lost everything now. Without the Horton's
