Selina looked at Matthew, "It's a pity that I find that any other man in the world would be more handsome than you."
Matthew was quiet.
He started to frown.
Although he didn't pay much attention to his looks, it was impossible for him not to know what he looked like.
It was obvious that Selina was not telling how she truly felt.
"Selina, don't you feel bad when lying?" Matthew asked.
Selina touched her chest and said, "No, not at all. Why would I feel bad if I'm telling the truth?"
As she said that, she smiled at Matthew.
The smile on her face was a wide and bright one.
"Selina, did God send you to torture me?" After a while, Matthew said in a low voice, looking rather speechless.
All the troubles in his life had come from the girl right in front of him.
"What do you think?"
"I must have owed you something in my previous life."
His words suddenly made Selina's smile fade away.
Her fingers trembled.
These words somehow reminded her of what happened, that painful memory.
When she woke up that morning, she had realized that she had lost something that was most precious to her...
Selina's gaze was dark as she stared at Matthew, "I don't know if you owed me anything in your previous life, but you definitely owe me something in this life!"
Matthew immediately understood the meaning of Selina's words.
Selina had thought of that incident again.
Matthew's eyes were filled with guilt, "Selina, it's all my fault. I just liked you too much."
As he uttered the last sentence, his voice became very soft.
If it wasn't Selina who was with him that night, but someone else, he would have been able to control himself even if he was drugged.
Yet, it was Selina. Even though he knew that it was wrong, he couldn't help but let himself be sucked into that black hole.
A flash of hatred appeared in Selina's gaze.
She immediately asked, "Do you mean it's alright to hurt someone just because you like them?"
"No." Matthew's voice became even lower.
After a pause, he continued, "Selina, I'll make it up to you for what I've done."
"How are you going to make it up to me?"
"I'll spend my whole life, making it up to you."
A cold smile appeared on Selina's face. She looked at Matthew and said, "What if I don't want you to make it up to me with your life, but instead, I just want you to die, would that be okay?"
"It's not okay." Matthew's gaze was fixed on Selina, "Selina, who else would dote on you and spoil you like I do if I'm not around?"
At that moment, the man's gaze was extremely focused, looking deep into Selina's eyes.
His words were very touching to hear.
Selina's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Under Matthew's gaze, she suddenly realized that she could not say anything.
After a while, Selina stood up with annoyance and said, "Can you not be so flirtatious when you talk? It's giving me goosebumps. I'm going out for a
walk, I don't want to talk nonsense here with you!"
On the street, Matheo and Rainee were walking together.
Rainee had been in a bad mood and wanted to go for a walk. Matheo was a little worried, so he went with her.
He knew that his sister had suffered a lot in the past two days.
She had been treated as a "princess" all this while, and now she had suddenly become a target of mockery by many.
"Matheo, I've become the joke of the upper class circle. What should I do?" Rainee said, her eyes becoming teary.
Matheo couldn't help but say, "You're the one who asked for it!"
"However, I didn't know that that woman was the daughter of the Whitlock family in the beginning. If I have known it, I wouldn't have done it! I thought she was just a poor beggar girl!"
