The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 76

Chapter 76: Selene's embarrassment

Anya thought this was the most absurd thing she had seen a person do in public.

Who would try to forcefully abduct someone when people have already taken out their cameras and a crowd has formed?

"Tell your mistress this," she stated nonchalantly. "I am not her staff. If she wants to see me, she needs to use her two legs and book an appointment to see if I am free first."

Anya almost said she was a Shaw, but people were videoing the situation. She was not stupid. With their family business, they needed to be more lowkey.

Even so, this was her world now, her domain. Her husband had already told her that she did not need to fear anyone while in this city. She trusted him greatly. She knew he would not say useless words.

She was sure that if anyone dared to touch her in this city, well, they would soon learn the true depths of the Shaw family's power. This she was sure of.

While Anya's guards pressed these unknown men who tried to take Anya painfully to the ground.

Anya questioned them sternly; her eyes narrowed with suspicion. One of the men thrashed wildly, yelling profanities as the guards' grips tightened around his limbs.

Wendy quickly pulled Anya back to her side, shielding her from potential harm.

The crowd that had gathered gasped and murmured in shock at the sudden scuffle unfolding on the upscale city street. Curious onlookers cramed their necks, phones at the ready to capture any viral-worthy drama. elena's embarrassment

Before they could interrogate the culprits further, a woman strode forward confidently, raising a perfectly manicured hand. "Stop!" she shouted, her voice cutting through the commotion like a knife. Anya and Wendy turned their gazes to the newcomer.

They both knew her. It was Selene.

"Miss Selene," Anya said when she saw her. She could already guess mistress the man was going on about.
