Chapter 164

Yasmin morted coldly. Oh, so you actually planned on showing ep? I thought we'd have to beg you before you'd grace us with your presence. I was half-expecting you to duch us again"

"How could I dare?" Selina replied with a faint smile. Last time was truly because of something importané, * million-dollar deal that required my attention. Opportunities to make that kind of money don't come around often. And you must be Vasmin? I heard you gave up your career as a designer after rarrying into the Hadson family, living a life of luxury. I must say, that's enviable."

Upon listening to Selina's words, Yasmin shot her a glare. "Are you implying that I'm not as capable as you when it comes to making money?"

"Naturally," Selina said lightly. "Yasmin, you were born to enjoy life, while I'm destined to toil. But I relish the process of proving my worth. It's just how I am."

Yasmin was left speechless. When she first learned that Selina was the famous designer, Angel, she was stunned. Yasmin had even tried to get her hands on a few of Angel's limited edition designs but to no avail. Initially, she had thought of leveraging their familial connection to get a few pieces from Selina. However, after the incident where Christina offended Selina and was subsequently kicked out, their relationship soured.

The name "Angel" was a brand on its own, and its money-making potential was far beyond what Yasmin could ever achieve. She wasn't about to pick a fight with Selina over her weak spot as she wasn't that foolish.

At that moment, Silas finally spoke up. "Now that you're here, have a seat." He spoke with the calm authority of an elder.

Despite his anger toward Selina, he was more interested in gauging her abilities. After all, she could make someone as powerful as Trevon fall head over heels for her. If Selina could be brought into the Hudson family's fold, it would be beneficial to combine the family's interests with Trevon's influence. Naturally, if Selina couldn't be won over, Silas wouldn't hesitate to make her pay for the disrespect she had shown them.

Yasmin exclaimed inwardly. They were stunned as they had expected Selina to apologize profusely, offering every excuse and pleading for their forgiveness until they grudgingly accepted. Never had they imagined Selina would give up so easily. Lauren couldn't hold back.
