“Grandpa, I would prefer that you not speak too confidently,” a voice interrupted. It wasn’t Selina who spoke, but Trevon. He went on. “My wife is far more unfathomable than you can imagine. Even I, as her husband, do not know what is on her mind. Right, Honey?” Trevon gently held Selin’s lund. His deep voice was tinged with curiosity, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Trevon was captivated by Selina because she was unfathomable and it was impossible to know what was going through her mind. Her looks and personality were just bonuses. Trevon adored Selina’s sense of mystery, knowing she could surprise him at any time. All of the women he had met before had left him unimpressed, but this woman beside him was different. Trevon loved her more than anyone else, and he couldn’t bear to let her go for even a moment.

Selina raised an eyebrow. “Yes, Darling. I’ll take that as a compliment.

That’s enough. If you two want to show off your affection, do it somewhere else, not in front of an elderly man like me. Youngsters nowadays really have no shame. How times have changed. Maverick grumbled as he briskly walked away, rubbing the goosebumps on his arms.

It was clear how unfathomable Selina truly was because Trevon rarely spoke so highly of women. Trevon clearly liked her, and Maverick knew there had to be a reason. Selina probably had something extraordinary about her that captivated Trevon completely-

Maverick understood that and had no intention of preventing Trevon from seeing Selina. Instead, he chose to enjoy his. carefree life while witnessing their love story unfold. After all, as long as Selina married Trevon, the answer would eventually become clear to Maverick.

Left behind, Herbert looked at Trevon with a complicated expression. “Trevon…”

“Herbert, anyone who goes against my wife is my enemy. Trevon declared.

When Herbert heard that, his expression darkened. “Trevon, is she really that good?”

“Of course. I’m the best in the world.” Selina rolled her eyes and thought, I can’t believe he’s asking such a foolish question. He’s so stupid‘

“Yes, my wife is indeed the best in the world,” Trevon agreed, smiling indulgently. Then, he took Selina’s hand and left the

scene.

“Should we go say goodbye to your grandfather?” Selina asked.

“Don’t worry about him. Honey, you only need to be concerned about me. I, your husband, am right here beside you. There’s no need to care about anyone else,” Trevon replied.

As Herbert watched them leave, he couldn’t help but clench his fists. Trevon, is Selina really that amazing? She’s too mysterious. Even though I acknowledged that she is quite exceptional, is she really worth your attention?‘ he mused.

Lisa ran out of the Brady residence. Next, she hailed a taxi and headed straight to the Harvey residence. She notified Ashley before she arrived. When Ashley came out to greet her, Lisa threw herself into Ashley’s arms, crying bitterly.

“What happened, Lisa? You look so upset. Please stop crying. Tell me, who bullied you?” Ashley inquired. She looked taken aback, and her tone was appropriately tinged with concern.

Everyone in the Brady family’s main branch adored Lisa, and Ashley had gone to great lengths to build a relationship with

her. Although 1 is liad been spoileil, she wasn’t foolish. Because of her status as the Bradly family’s daughter, many people had tried to befriend and flatter her since she was a child. After all, being friends with her would be extremely beneficial in the long run.

Lisa was well aware of that, which was why very few people had ever truly moved her. Most of the time, she would either play along with them on coldly reject them. For Ashley to be treated as a close friend by Lisa, even to the point of turning against Selina, showed that Ashley had put in a tremendous amount of effort. Ashley had quietly worked her way into Lisa’s heart without 1 isa noticing.

Ashley took Lisa back to her room. She then offered Lisa a warm cup of milk to calm her down. After that, Lisa tearfully recounted what had just happened.

“I can’t believe it. Selina… Ashley was genuinely surprised. She hadn’t expected that Selina, on her first visit to the Brady family, could gain such favoritism from Maverick.

Selina, who had severed ties with the Harvey family, shouldn’t be on the same level as the Brady family, regardless of how many hidden identities she possessed. She was also not worthy of marrying Trevon. The Brady family should have been strongly opposed to their marriage. Ashley had predicted Herbert’s and Keith’s stand on the matter, but she didn’t expect Maverick to agree to it.

‘Could it be that Selina had somehow bewitched Maverick just as she had with Trevon? If Maverick sides with Selina, then her position as Trevor’s wife would be unshakable. No matter how harsh the main branch’s attitude is, they wouldn’t be able to challenge Selina’s status, especially with both the previous and current heads of the family backing her, Ashley remarked. inwardly.

Just then, Lisa sobbed, “I really can’t understand what’s going on with Grandpa. I’m his granddaughter, and yet he let a daughter–in–law who was visiting for the first time bully me. Grandpa didn’t even help me! Instead, he told me to fight back on my own. Ashley, I don’t want to go back home anymore. I’ll definitely be bullied again. I want to run away from home. Can I stay with you for a while?”

“Of course, Lisa. You can stay here as long as you want. Don’t give yourself too much pressure, Ashley replied. She thought it was a good opportunity to win Lisa over. If Lisa stayed away from the Brady family for too long, they would eventually come looking for her. Building a strong relationship with Lisa was Ashley’s only way to get closer to the Brady family, so she couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.

“Thank you, Ashley. I knew you’d support me. You’re the best!” Lisa said, hugging Ashley tightly. Then, she pouted and said, “I can’t believe Trevon has such poor taste. He treasures that vicious woman, Selina, so much. In my opinion, you should be the one to become my sister–in–law. You’re kind, gentle, sensible and come from a good family. You’re exactly the type of woman who can support Trevon. Meanwhile, Selina is just a nobody! She’s in no way comparable to you!”

“Lisa, don’t speak about Selina like that. She was lost when she was young, and everyone feels guilty about it. Our family is partially to blame for Selina’s personality change,” Ashley replied, pressing her hand against Lisa’s mouth. Deep inside, she was pleased. Lisa’s right. I’m the one who deserves to be Trevon’s wife. Selina isn’t worthy at all! But why is Trevon so smitten by Selina? It’s so frustrating! Ashley exclaimed inwardly.

“Ashley, you’re so kind. Even after Selina bullied both of us, you’re still defending her… Lisa muttered.

Knock! Knock!

Someone knocked on the door and said, “Ashley, it’s time for dinner. Please invite your friend to dine with us.”

Before Ashley could react, Lisa’s face flushed as she ran to open the door after hearing that voice. She was greeted by a man with distinctive features and a defined jawline. His skin was also smooth and clear. His height of 6 feet 2 inches forced Lisa, who was only 5 feet 3 inches tall, to look up at him. Her gaze was drawn to his lips, and she nearly drooled.

Lisa’s loyalty to Ashley wasn’t just because Ashley was her best friend or because she disliked Selina, but also because of

Ashley’s third brother, Joseph Harvey, who was Lisa’s idol. He was the youngest A–lister in the country and was currently vying for the title of the nation’s top actor.
