Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 2

Sara Harvey was chilling on the plush VIP sofa in the Chanel boutique, rubbing her forehead.

The Harvey family had recently found their long-lost daughter. Selina, after twenty-one years, and at first, Sara was pretty stoked about the reunion. But once she got to hang out with Selina, she realized her daughter was more awkward than a fish out of water, especially compared to Ashley. Raised in the Harvey residence, schooled in the finest institutions, and groomed in the arts, Ashley was the epitome of class.

The more Sara saw them side by side, the more out of place Selina seemed. Her manners around the house screamed out of touch, coming off more like a sneaky servant than Harvey material. And with her upcoming marriage into the Clark family, Selina's antics just didn't cut it.

"Mom, shopping's done." Ashley's sweet voice broke into Sara's thoughts.

Sara's

ra's face lit up at Ashley. "That's wonderful. Selina, why are you still dressed like that? Trash it. Slip into the new Chanel you got."

Sara couldn't stand how Selina's bargain-bin look, complete with a basic white tee, jeans, and sneakers, clashes with the Harvey unage. They had nothing against the less fortunate, but as a Harvey, her getup was a no-go, especially next to Ashley, the picture of perfection. With both girls there, Sara felt let down by Selina.

Ashley added, "Mom, I told Selina she'd look tabs in the Chanel"
