Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 19

Manuel and Caleb were shocked. They'd been throwing shade, convinced Selina had hustled some cash from the wealthy Harvey or Brady families to splurge at the Lamborghini dealership. But getting a Lamborghini as a gift from Lydia? That was a twist. "So, you guys were talking big earlier, right? Cat got your tongue now?" Lydia challenged them, fixing Manuel and Caleb with a glare as their expression turned sour, clearly enjoying their embarrassment. "What's it to you if I gift my sister a sweet ride? You gonna say I'm a thief too?"

Manuel and Caleb were speechless, like they'd just sucked on lemons. The puzzle didn't fit since when did Selina, a total nobody, have a loaded sister? And Lydia, decked out and looking like a million bucks, was she flying under the radar with some rich guy! Suddenly, a voice piped up from the crowd. "Isn't that.. Lydia from The Rose-the band's bad-ass drummer?"

"You're right. And isn't that the guitarist who rocked Starlight Club the other night?"

"Totally! I was at that show, dude! She killed it

"I caught a clip on Instagram! Couldn't see much, but now it's all making sense!"

While everyone gossiped. Manuel and Caleb were clueless. They knew abour Starlight Club, and The Rose must be big-time to play there. But Selina, that girl from the boondocks, jamming with The Rose? No way.

Lydia flicked her hair. "Yep, that's me. And here's Selina-the ace shredder of The Rose"

The crowd went nuts seeing their goddesses in the flesh. As for Manuel and Caleb, the fanfare spelt trouble.

Things were going south fast, and they tried to duck out when two cops showed up. "Who called the police?"

Selina stepped up. "That was me. This guy," she said and pointed at Manuel, "accused me of theft and tried to hit me. The staff and the security mpes
