“You can try.”
With that, Selena sprang to action without holding back, but Sasha defeated her in an instant. Her arm stung with pain as she thought, This woman is a top-notch fighter! I never knew someone like her exists despite having spent four years with Hades.
“Miss Yard, you won’t be able to beat me. I suggest you spend your time recuperating since your wounds have yet to heal. Even if you want to take the child with you, you’ll need Mr. Hades’ permission. Someone, see her out!”
After that, she was thrown out from the mansion before she could even speak to Jameson. It took her some time before she could stand up on her feet again. All she could do was sigh while staring at the entrance, as she acknowledged that there was no way she would be able to take Jameson with her right away.
When she hurried back to the castle, she bumped into Barbie, who inquired, “Selena, where have you been?”
However, instead of answering her question, Selena threw Barbie another question. “Where is Hades?”
“He’s in the study.”
Hearing that, Selena made her way to the study as rage burned within her, and then entered the room without even knocking on the door. Hades lifted his head to see her seething before quickly noticing the blood that was seeping down from the wound on her arm. With a frown, he asked, “How did your arm get hurt?”
He stood up to walk toward Selena, but she took a step back just when he was about to touch her shoulder. “Why is Jamie with you?”
Hades’ heart sank. How did she know about that?
Upon noticing that he seemed to be avoiding her, Selena clenched her fist. “You took him away from me! You planned the abduction and framed me as the culprit so that the Fowlers would hate me! You did all this just so I would return to Springvale and to you! Isn’t that right?” Selena shouted with all her might. While she was on her way back, she finally pieced the puzzle together, as well as realizing that Hades was the one who’d framed her. He must have done it because he knew I got together with Pierre!
Hades didn’t know how to explain himself. Although he wasn’t directly involved, it wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t egged things on. Back then, he assumed that Selena was snooping around Pierre to get more intel, but his intuition was telling him that Selena might fall for Pierre, which would risk the operation. Therefore, he didn’t try to prevent the incident from happening, as all he wanted was for Selena to withdraw herself.
“Hades, you’re such a despicable jerk! Don’t you know how much sorrow and self-blame I had to endure when I thought Jamie was dead?” Selena had an outbreak, as she never expected Hades to stoop so low just because of his self-professed love for her.
Hades didn’t feel like explaining himself, as Jameson was indeed with him.
Selena took his silence as affirmation. “Hades, someone like you will use any means necessary to achieve your goals! I will never marry someone who has no qualms using children and framing me!” Due to anger, Selena was being too ruthless, but she realized she might have crossed a line as soon as she said so, as she couldn’t afford to offend Hades.
Apparently, he was irked by her words, as his gaze turned ice-cold in an instant, a gaze so piercing that it sent the chills down Selena’s spine. “Did you just say you won’t marry me? Great, absolutely great.” He walked up to her before suddenly grabbing her chin in his hand to force her to look upward at him. “I will make sure that you marry me!”
There is already no going back as soon as he said so, so things won’t end that easily. Selena thought while staring at Hades fiercely.
