Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 38

According to what Lauren had found out, Selina was abandoned by the Harvey family and left to fend for herself in the countryside for two decades, not even making it past middle school, let alone elite schooling. This country girl couldn't even read, had no clue about respecting older folks, and just did things her own way without a hint of manners. All she had going for her were looks and shape, expected to just be some rich older guy's arm candy. Yet, unexpectedly, Trevon, a man known for his virtue and disinterest in romantic pursuits, fell for Selina. He pampered her to no end.

Next time when the store rolls out some new stuff or there's a fresh collab with Angel. Ell hook you up in advance, no mess-ups Shannon chose Trevon's woman over her longtime friend. After all, the Hudson family's daughter was nothing compared to Trevon's lady, who was seen as the most respected

woman in Sokovis

Fuming. she thought, "What's Shannon up to She's my friend, but she just embarrassed me in front of Selina! I even got her the job as a store manager at Carlier because I dropped so much cash here! And now she's pulling this on me for that gold digger Trevon isn't even serious about! Is this how she repays me?

"Mudelyn..." Shannon was torn. She thought, "Why drag me into your beef with Trevon's lady? I'll get canned for thist

"You can't just jump the line, Selina. Madelyn ordered it and she loves it. As her older cousin-in-law, you gotta cut her some slack. Lauren tred to smooth things over gently. She couldn't let Selina snag the necklace because the high society crowd would totally gossip about how she, as Trevon's elder, was intimidated by the young woman who recently married him.
