Selina noticed that he looked serious. “What’s up?” she asked, her tone casual yet tinged with anticipation.

Derrick retrieved a yellowed document from the safe and handed it to her, “Take a look. This is what I mentioned to you before.”

Her eyes sparkled with interest as she hungrily scanned the pages. “Notarized?” she inquired, her voice rising with excitement.

“Yeah” A sly grin spread across Derrick’s face, “You want to many Howard, right? I can make that happen. If only Jameson had coughed up this sooner, you’d already be Mrs. Chadwick

Selina scorted, her disdain clear, “Jameson’s a hypocrite. If he’d forced the issue earlier with this and made me tie the knot for Howard’s sake, we’d have been hitched by now. Why the wait?”

Resentment toward Jameson simmered within her.

Derrick, still smiling, said, “It’s not too late. Summit Corp’s got a big deal with the Turner family from the Capital. It’s our best shot.”

“Thanks, Dad” Gratitude laced her voice.

Clutching the document, Selina kissed it repeatedly, as though she were bestowing her affection on Howard himself.

“There’s one more thing: Derick added, his expression turning serious.

Derrick looked at her hesitantly, “We cannot allow Claude to re

“Do you trust me, Selina?” he asked, avoiding her question.

“Of course, I trust you. Dad. But what does this have to do with Uncle Claude?”

Selina didn’t give a hoot about Claude, and she had unwavering faith in Derrick

It was crunch time. Derick knew he couldn’t keep secrets from her any longer, not if she was to stand by him.

“Let’s go somewhere quiet. And don’t make a scene

“Okay.

They hailed a cab outside the office, switched taxis midway, and finally arrived at the prestigious Green Gables Estate.

“Dad, why are we here?” Selina asked, her curiosity piqued.

“Just don’t say a word”

Derrick swiped an access card in the elevator, taking them to the 16th floor. They stood before an imposing door, its luxury unmistakable.

Selina eyed the door, a surge of unease washing over her. Instinctively, she said, “Dad, I don’t want to do this. Let’s go back down”

Her gut told her that behind that door lay something she wasn’t ready to confront

But Derrick firmly grasped her hand, “You need to do this.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

He rang the doorbell.

Scarcely a moment passed before they heard footsteps, and the door swung open, releasing a wave of perfume. A statuesque woman threw herself into Derrick’s arms, “Honey, I’ve missed you so much.”

He gave her a playful smack on the behind, “Look who I’ve brought.”

“Selina.” The woman’s eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at Selina, her emotion palpable.

Selina took a step back, unable to comprehend the scene, “Dad, are you having an affair? Does Mom know about this? How could you do that?

Her parents, Magnolia and Derrick, were considered the epitome of marital bliss in Bayridge City. It never crossed Selina’s mind that Derrick would have a mistress.

Angela, the woman, felt utterly wronged when Selina referred to her as the mistress.

“Selina, I am your mother.” she said.

Derrick had said that if the day came when he brought Selina here, it would be time to reveal the truth about her birth.

“My mom is Magnolia, you shameless woman. What nonsense are you spouting?”

Overwhelmed by emotion, Seling turned to flies, but Derrick quickly caught her hand and dragged her inside, locking the door behind

Selina beat against the door in a frenzy, panic enveloping her. She had a premonition that whatever Derrick was about to reveal would

*Selina, Selino, calm down.” Demick’s voice thundered, “If you walk out that door, you can kiss all your wealth and status goodbye.”

Selina’s hands stilled, and she tumed to look at him, aghast.
