Schna momentarily pushes aside her strange sense of familiarity with Lisa and said, “So you’re worried I’ll complain? Fine. you can go with your brother now. I promise I won’t tell Devon joyth

Lisa’s eyes were filled with suspicion. “Will you keep your word?”

Selina turned her gaze away and didn’t look at Lisa again. “Don’t worry. I won’t waste my time stooping to your level. That would only lower my worth”

“You!” Lisa snapped.

“Well, Lisa, she said she won’t hold you accountable. Why are you still here? Let’s go,” Herbert chimed in. He knew all too well about Selina’s sharp tongue. Even if someone had a higher status or more money, it would be absurd to think they could outtalk her especially Lisa, who couldn’t even handle Herbert, let alone compete with Selina.

“No wonder Ashley always gets bullied and looks miserable. Turns out, she has such a vicious sister.” Selina heard Lisa’s casual comment. She suddenly remembered where she had seen Lisa before.

In her previous life, when Selina followed the Harvey family to visit Ashley at Sanac University, she saw that Lisa and Ashley were close friends. Lisa was the same age as Ashley. Ashley was studying art at Sanac University and received a recommendation early due to her excellent grades and outstanding performance. With the support of Harvey Group and her famous actor brother, she entered the entertainment industry. She had access to endless slots, including variety shows, endorsements, movies, and TV dramas. With her impressive acting skills and innocent girl image, she quickly became a top

free and star. Based on the current timeline, Ashley hadn’t officially entered showbiz yet. That was why she always seemed so offen attended various banquets, appearing in front of Selina

“So you and Ashley are friends.” Selina smiled coldly. “What? Have you heard a lot of bad things about me from my poor, weak, and kind sister?

Originally, Lisa didn’t want to provoke Trevon’s woman, but when she heard Selina’s words, she immediately spoke up for her best friend. “No! Ashley isn’t like that at all! She never said anything bad about you and has always defended you. I saw how sad she was. She often cried alone but never talked to me about it. I can replace out what happened myself. I know what hurt her

Selina couldn’t help but applaud Lisa. “Well done, Lisa. You really are Ashley’s best friend. So, after your investigation, you discovered that it was me who hurt her?”

Lisa spat, “Who else could it be if not you? You’re jealous of Ashley because she was raised by the Harvey family, while you were taken away. Even though you’re now back with the Harvey family, you realize your life and the treatment you received are still vastly different from Ashley’s. That’s why you’ve been bullying her everywhere. Ashley is kind and doesn’t care about you. She just keeps all her pain to herself!”

“Okay… Selina responded.

To be honest, this was the first time that Selina had heard about herself from Ashley’s best friend. It was exactly what she had suspected. Selina was familiar with Ashley’s usual tactics. She would pretend to be wronged and put on an act in front of It didn’t mean Lisa was stupid. Even Selina was deceived by Ashley at first. Ashley did have a few tricks up her sleeve, but unfortunately, she was using them in the wrong place

everyone.

Seeing Selina’s indifferent reaction, Lisa couldn’t help but continue to speak up for her best friend Ashley, “What kind of response is that? Selina, how can you be so cruel? How could you hurt someone as kind–hearted as Ashley? You don’t deserve to be Trevon’s wife or the lady of the Brady family. Ashley is your sister. She wasn’t even born when you were taken away. Why should she bear all the blame?”

Chapter 171

“Some people just have wrong assumptions because I stay silent and don’t know when to quit. Ashley’s kind? It’s no surprise that someone like you would be deceived by her. And what makes you think I’m jealous of Ashley? I have so much more than she does. I’m Angel, the world’s top jewelry designer. I defeated Lloyd, the world racing champion. I’m prettier than Ashley, but that’s subjective though. I’m also the wife of Trevon, the leader of the Brady family. Are you seriously suggesting I’m jealous of Ashley? People would be more likely to assume the other way around.” Selina started counting.

Despite Selina’s reasonable explanation, Lisa wasn’t convinced. “Why? Because Ashley has what you want but can’t have in your life – growing up with the Harvey family. You left the Harvey family partly to make Ashley unhappy. You might seem to have it all – career, love, and success – but what you lack is love from a family!”

“Stop talking. Lisa!” Herbert was surprised to replace Lisa taking Ashley’s side and even criticizing Selina on her behalf. He quickly covered Lisa’s mouth to stop her. However, Lisa remained undeterred. She struggled against Herbert’s hand, clearly determined to seek justice for her best friend.

“You’re right. I used to envy Ashley because she grew up with the Harvey family and wasn’t lost like me. Even after I was found by the Harvey family, they still treated me differently. But now… what you say doesn’t matter to me. I’m actually glad I didn’t grow up in that family. I’m happy to be myself and I won’t become another Ashley,” Selina said.

Selina rested her chin on her hand and spoke with a strange yet convincing calmness. Then she stood up, brushing off the nonexistent dust from her trousers. “Whether you believe it or not, my words stand. You can also pass them on to Ashley. I’m not jealous of her now, and I’ll never be. She doesn’t deserve it. It’s as simple as that. Consider this a warning. I don’t want to waste any more of my breath on you. Stop saying things I don’t want to hear. It won’t be pretty if I lash out.”

“Who are you calling unworthy? Selina, how dare you talk about my best friend like that… Lisa said.

Selina strode to Lisa quickly and slapped her.

Slap!

Lisa was baffled. So was Herbert. They couldn’t even catch Selina’s action it was so fast. Lisa felt a burning sensation on her cheek.

Selina waved her hand dismissively and remarked, “You’re incredibly shameless for someone so young. That slap made my hand sore.
