"Hold on, are you talking about the eldest daughter of the Cabello family? Helena Cabello? Is she Daniella's older sister?"
Selena frowned and asked with a surprised tone. This news did, indeed, caught her off guard. Not to mention, the First Young Mistress Cabello was the one who initiated the kiss; she kissed Fane in the city, in front of many people. What kind of plot twist was that?
"Yes, Helena Cabello is the female lead in this rumor!"
Elaine bobbed her head and said, "I'm sure of it!” "It can't be, right? If it’s Daniella, it’d make sense, because I can sense that Daniella looks at Fane differently. In fact, I've been preparing myself for this. Most heads of prominent families would have several wives, even some elders have several wives! Only an excellent man would have many women fall for him, so I'm kind of prepared for such a situation!"
Selena smiled bitterly, then added, "And I think if Daniella and Fane were together, it’d be good too. It's good for the development of the Woods family. Daniella is a simple and kind girl; she has thought of giving my parents the divine water from her family so that my parents could train and become martial artists too. If the two families join together, it’d be great for the future development of the Woods family!”
Selena stopped for a while. She did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “But how come it was Helena Cabello who forcibly kissed Fane? Why was it not Daniella? Have you perhaps heard it wrongly?" "I thought it was strange too at first. They have not known each other for long, right? And they shouldn't have known each other before that too. So their first encounter with each other should be in Kobe City. But it is what it is!"
Confusion dawned upon Elaine’s face as well.
She turned to Selena and expressed her admiration. "Sis Selena, I truly admire you. A woman like you is what we desire to be. You are like an empress, a motherly model of the nation who takes care of her family. Hehe! Fane's truly a lucky guy to have married you! He's blessed to have you as his wife!"
"You've truly scared me to death just now when you asked me to mentally prepare myself. If we were to compare the news of Fane dying and the news of Fane getting a second wife, I'd think the latter news is not bad at all!"
Selena pressed her lips together and gave a warm smile. "Of course, if the woman he likes has not good, I naturally will not agree to it. The Three Golden Flowers of the Cabello family, any one of them is good looking, noble and decent! Besides, the Woods family needs to get on good terms with the Cabello family so that the future of the Woods family can prosper! It's way too beneficial for us!"
“You're right. But, before love, women are selfish after all. I was afraid that you wouldn't be happy!”
Elaine smiled and then continued, "Wait, in the future, even if Fane has other wives, they all must listen to you only! You're the empress, they are all concubines!" “You smarty-pants!" Selena shot Elaine a stare; that stare was absolutely stunning.
"Ahem. Well, Elaine, do you want to be an empress then?"
Ben, who was standing beside the two girls, heard the conversation. He could not help but clear his throat awkwardly and asked Elaine.
Elaine’s eyebrows immediately snapped together. "Be an empress? Do you think you’re Fane? If you can surpass Fane in martial prowess and become an excellent man, then I’ll allow you to find a second wife, or even third, fourth up to the eighth wife! I’ll not say a word by then!" Elaine snarled.
Ben was defeated as though he was a gasless balloon. He dropped his head and replied, "Sigh! If that's the case, then forget it! It's simply impossible to surpass Fane in martial power! It’s more difficult than going to heaven!" "Hmph! You don't have the ability yet you still want several wives? Dream on!"
Elaine snorted coldly and her face filled with arrogance.
Looking at her younger brother and sister-in-law flirting and battering with each other, Selena-who stood aside-could not help but laugh out loud.
After some moments, Joan came out from the house with Kylie in her arms. She looked at Selena, with a worried look." Selena, didn’t Fane say that the tournament won't take too long. It's been so many days, why hasn't he come back yet? According to what he said, he should have returned a few days ago, right? Did something happen to him?”
