The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 256 Victor Was Ready To Do Anything

Selena's words made both Diana and Victor stop fighting. Victor looked at Selena in disbelief, and Diana's face was just as rigid.

Right after Selena finished shouting, she noticed their sudden change of

expression and felt a twinge of regret.

However, she refused to believe she was at fault. She just glared at them accusingly.

"Mom, Dad, what on earth are you two doing? Would you really have beaten each other to death if I hadn't come down? It's a good thing I'm clever."

Selena paused, then added, "I said all that on purpose. See? I only had to say a few words, and you both stopped."

Diana and Victor remained silent. In a moment of desperation, words often revealed one's true thoughts, so it was highly likely that Selena had just spoken her mind.

"Mom, Dad, you don't really think that's what I meant, do you?" Selena asked, feeling uneasy inside but refusing to admit she might have meant every word.

"Were you actually dumb enough to fall for that woman's ploy? I only said that to make you stop fighting."

Selena looked at Charlotte icyly. She resented Natalie, but she hated Natalie's birth parents even more.

She used to think Natalie's real parents were just ordinary workers. She secretly looked forward to seeing Natalie suffer once she went back to them.

However, she never expected those ordinary workers to actually be wealthy people from Dithoria State. She also never imagined Charlotte would go to such extremes for Natalie.

"The real enemy is right here. How can you two still stand there fighting each other?" Selena coldly remarked, scolding Diana and Victor. "We're a family. We need to band together."

Diana's face went from pale to livid. She had been disappointed by Selena's outburst a moment ago.

Now that Selena had softened her words, Diana tried to reassure herself that her daughter made some sense. If Selena had tried to say anything else, Diana and Victor probably would have ignored her.

Even though Selena's words were harsh, they had worked-Diana and Victor did stop beating each other.

Diana shoved Victor aside and pulled Selena over to sit on the couch.

"Victor, Selena's right. We're family. We can't let that wretched woman turn us against each other," she said coldly, siding with Selena.
