Caroline was shocked to hear Selina's statement.

She looked at Selina in astonishment.

When she first saw Selina sitting there, she had assumed that the recording she had carefully prepared did not impact Matthew and Selina's relationship. However, it never occurred to her that Selina would replace out that she was the culprit behind it so soon.

Something within her immediately tensed up at the thought.

If Selina had already figured out that she was the mastermind behind this scheme, then was Selina aware of Reid's contribution to this plan as well?

If she was, then that would mean that all of Caroline's future plans would now be worthless!

The tips of her fingers started to tremble.

Moments later, she firmly pressed her fingernails into her palms. The pain managed to calm her down a little.

Caroline warned herself not to panic. She told herself that she must remained composed.

The more trouble she was in, the more important it was for her to stay calm.

In an attempt to conceal the storm of anxiety brewing in her heart, she asked, "How did you replace out?"

Selina just gave her an icy stare. "Nobody else but you would do something like that."

Caroline's heart quailed at Selina's reply.

Could Selina's words mean that her accusations were merely based on her own assumptions?

That was right! It would be impossible for her to have done any thorough investigation on such short notice!

Caroline sighed in relief inwardly.

"You're right, it was me. It was all my doing." Since she had been found out, Caroline felt that she might as well come clean to prevent Selina from discovering her accomplices. Selina's eyes glazed over with sadness once she heard this.

Although she had long suspected that Caroline was the mastermind, to actually hear Caroline admit to the wrongdoings still made Selina's heart ache.

A long time ago, she would never have imagined that her best friend would use such underhanded methods to sabotage her and drive a wedge between her and the man she liked. Selina asked her, "Why did you do such a thing?"

Caroline chucked at her question.

Her laughter dripped with malice.

"Why? You're asking me why? It's because I want to take revenge on you, of course. Selina, I despise you!"

"Caroline!" Selina's lips quivered.

Selina once again felt the urge to explain to Caroline that everything was just a misunderstanding.

Yet, just as the words reached her lips, she swallowed them once more.

Even if she explained everything to Caroline, Caroline would never believe her because she had already come to her own conclusions.

Instead, Selina asked, "How did you manage to accomplish this, Caroline?"

Matthew had informed her that his cell phone had special protection, which made it impossible for any ordinary person to call him with Selina's phone number. Caroline smiled. "I'm rich. As long as I have money, replaceing professionals to help me with such a matter is as easy as pie."

This was a reasonable explanation.

Selina stared into Caroline's eyes, "Then how did you know when I was leaving my house? You chose the exact time that I was not at home to call Matthew!" Caroline's heart started to pound violently at this question.

Could Selina be starting to suspect Reid's little henchman?

No, she would never betray that lackey of Reid's. If he was exposed, then Reid would be revealed as well.

She still had a lot of things in the future she would need to depend on Reid for.

At the fastest speed possible, Caroline came up with an excuse that would stop Selina from suspecting anything.

She shot Selina an odd smile before she hissed at Selina, "Since I was able to replicate your mobile phone number to call Matthew, then of course I was also able to tap into your phone to eavesdrop on you. I heard that you wanted to go out and meet a man, so I took the opportunity to call Matthew. I even managed to interfere with your signal to make it appear as if you were constantly on a call!"

Once Selina heard this, her whole body began to shake.

The whole truth had finally come to light.

So this was how things went!

She then took out her phone before she smashed it into the ground.

The phone shattered into pieces.

"Caroline, you won't have such a chance anymore," Selina spat.

Caroline snorted in reply.

"Return to the United States now."

"You think I'll go just because you told me to?"

Selina sneered at her.

The words Matthew had said to her previously echoed in her mind.

Selina's frosty gaze fell onto Caroline's face. At this moment, her intimidating aura had been

completely unleashed, and her entire body was emanating a terrifying force, "Caroline, you can choose to stay behind and continue plotting against me. However, if you ever scheme against me again, I'll be sending you straight to prison. You best believe that Matthew and I have the capabilities to do so."

Caroline stared at her, eyes brimming with shock. "Selina! How dare you!"

She could not believe that Selina would say something like that to her.

Selina's gaze grew even colder. "You don't believe me, do you? Just wait and see. This is my final warning you. You're on your own now, Caroline Yethan. Agaphen Citycan

no longer be home for you from now

on

This statement frightened Caroline.

UMS

Selina added, "The property that you've purchased will be transferred. Even if you try to rent a house, no landlord will rent to you, nor will you be able to stay in any hotel."

Selina's threats caused chills to run down her spine.

"Selina, you are making it impossible for me to stay in this city."

"That's right!" Selina replied in a crystal clear voice, "That's exactly my goal!"

"Great. Fantastic!" Caroline's pointed a finger at her. "I'll definitely remember your cruelty!"

Selina appeared indifferent as she replied, "Buy a flight ticket back to the United States. Take it as my final piece of advice for you."

Caroline turned to leave without saying anything else.

Her high heels clacked loudly against the floor and each step carried Caroline's endless rage.

Once Caroline left, Selina felt as if she had lost all strength. She fell to the floor.

As soon as Caroline had gone out of sight, her bravado left her completely and all she felt was waves of sadness.

She wasn't sure how long she was on the floor before she heard footsteps.

A pair of leather shoes entered her sight.

Thi was followed by a pair of hands entering her view.

Selina reached out to grab onto the hands.

The hands helped Selina to her feet.

In a tired, hopeless voice, she asked, "Why are you here?"

Matthew gazed intently at her, "I was worried, so I thought it would be better if I came to take a look."

A small smile bloomed on her face when she heard this. "There's nothing to worry about. I've already handled it." "Has it really been solved?"

Selina nodded. "Caroline won't be able to stay here any longer. She'll probably return to the United States today." Starting from today, all of Caroline's residences would no longer be able to accommodate her.

"Alright," Matthew said. "Don't overthink the situation. It's alright now that everything has been settled."

"But we used to be very good friends," Selina was in despair.

Matthew replied, "Selina, there is nothing that doesn't end."

She bit her lips at this. "No, it was possible that this friendship could have been kept."

Things had fine before she'd messed it up!

Even if Selina had told herself not to

dwell on the past, her personality

made it hard for her to detangle

herself from past affairs, so she couldn't stop herself from constantly

reliving them.

Matthew could only sigh in response. "Silly girl."

He gently held Selina's chin. "Look at me."

Her gaze then traveled up Matthew's face before she finally met Matthew's eyes with her own.

Matthew's eyes contained a deep serenity. They were like thousand-year-old lakes, like a starry night sky, like the endless loop of the sun and moon.

His eyes calmed people tremendously.

"Selina, listen to me and remember every word I say. Okay?" Words spilled out of Matthew's attractive lips.

His deep, husky voice was magnetic. It was pleasing to Selina's ears and his words penetrated deep into her heart.
