Fishing a cigarette from his pocket, Fane started smoking. It was still the cheapest White-Sand cigarette, the same familiar flavor.
After taking a deep breath, Fane finally responded, "So it means that Xena is good at deception. She dresses simply in front of your brother and seems very innocent, yet she hangs out with some good-for-nothings in secret? Moreover, your brother is deeply i n love with her. You're not telling your brother because you know he won't believe you even if you told him?"
Selena nodded. "That's how things are. With my brother's personality, if you were to tell him, he might even lose his temper. I’ve tried hinting to him a few times, telling him that Xena is not marriage material and urged him to reconsider! In the end, he didn't come home for a few days straight, spending all that time at the internet cafe with Xena!"
At that point, Selena looked to Fane once more." Moreover, my brother needs money to pay the internet cafe and would always ask me or your mother. If we have no money to give him, he would yell at us, saying that you're to blame as he might still be a young master of the TaylOr family with tens of thousand bucks of pocket money each month if not for you."
Hearing that, Fane felt slightly angry. It would seem
that over the past few years, Selena and his mother had endured many indignations from Ben.
Furthermore, there was also the mother-in-law that was difficult to deal with.
"Could it be that Xena and your brother plotted together and arranged for this robbery? Is that a possibility?"
Fane asked once more after giving it some thoughts.
This time, Selena shook her head without hesitation." That's impossible. Some time ago, my mother just gave him 50 thousand bucks to get some gifts for
Xena. He didn't even use up the 50 thousand bucks."
Having said that, Selena paused for a moment and added, "My brother is not that brazen. Although he wastes his life away, he won't stoop to that level.
Moreover, if he’s out of money, he will surely find a way to ask my mother. He won't resort to robbing!"
"Mm!"
