Jonathan didn’t press further and added, “Zane just called. He and Jessica are doing fine. They should be back in Occaton by this evening. Shall we all get together tonight?”
Anneliese hadn’t expected that.
Whether it was helping Jessica out previously or saving her grandmother now, Jonathan’s friends had gone out of their way to help.
She quickly said, “Of course. Let’s also invite Dr. Chevalier and Mr. Callahan.”
Inside the hospital room, however, the atmosphere was tense.
“How cold and heartless of her! Why can’t Selina stay?
“Besides, what did she mean by hoping our family of five wouldn’t break up?”
As soon as Anneliese left, Melanie burst into anger, fuming.
Anneliese had spoken vaguely, as if she was hinting at something else.
Timothy frowned, his gaze flickering. He wondered whether Anneliese had discovered something.
Melanie’s face turned pale.
This time, she wasn’t putting on an act–she had been running a fever on and off for days, and her body was incredibly weak.
The family hurried to help her lie down.
Once she closed her eyes to rest, the others stepped out of the room.
Timothy rubbed his temples, his expression heavy.
At that moment, his phone buzzed with calls from the company, asking him for instructions.
He forced himself to stay focused, then turned to his two sons. “Find out who’s still worth reaching out to and give them another call.”

“Dad, you must be exhausted. Why not head home and rest? Tomorrow, let Mom work her magic with one of her massages. Leave everything else to us, and we’ll find a way.”
Seeing her swollen face yet hearing not a single complaint, Timothy felt both guilty and comforted by Selina’s thoughtfulness.
He had been blaming Mikita for the mess caused by her elder brother, Nikolai, and with the company troubles piling up, he had lost all interest in meeting Mikita tomorrow as they had planned.
He had been ready to call it off, but he nodded and patted Selina’s hand.
“Alright. I didn’t mean to hit you. Once the company pulls through this crisis, you’ll receive some shares,” he promised.
Selina leaned against his shoulder, her expression tender with filial devotion.
“I don’t blame you at all, Dad. I only hate myself for not being capable enough–for letting Anne snatch Mr. Fullbuster away, and for failing to help you.”
A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Anneliese, just you wait. You may have slapped me in the face, but I won’t let you have it easy either.
Do you think getting Jonathan to pressure us and cutting off the White family’s lifeline means you’ve already won?
Just wait and see!
After saying goodbye to Timothy, Selina didn’t bother tending to her bruised face or disheveled appearance.
Instead, she went straight to somewhere else.
An hour later, she stood outside a Victorian villa halfway up the mountain, requesting to see its
owner.
“Apologies, Ms. White, but Mrs. Fullbuster is currently resting after a sleepless night. We aren’t allowed to wake her up, so please head back,” explained the middle–aged butler after keeping Selina waiting for a while.

The woman dug her nails into her palms, then stepped forward with a weak smile.
“That’s alright. I’ll wait as long as it takes.”
Her persistence was plain–if the mistress refused to see her, she wouldn’t leave.

The butler, clearly irritated by how clingy she was, chuckled and turned to leave, but before he could do so, Selina spoke again.
“Forgive me, but Mr. Fullbuster has been pressuring us because of my sister, and the White family’s funds have been cut off.
“My parents have fallen ill from the stress, so I had no choice but to come here-”
As she expected, the butler froze at her words.
“Mr. Fullbuster? You mean Jonathan Fullbuster? Who’s your sister?”
Feigning surprise, Selina replied, “Yes, Mr. Fullbuster is married to my sister, Anneliese Claude. He attended the Goldings‘ Silver Jubilee and announced their relationship.
“Have they not paid Mrs. Fullbuster a visit yet?”
The butler frowned, then quickly hurried back inside.
Within minutes, Selina was led into the villa.
The butler ushered her into a small sitting room.
After a short wait, footsteps approached.
Selina rose at once.
The woman who entered was impeccably kept.
Even at home, she wore a branded couture cashmere set in soft ivory, paired with sapphire earrings and a matching ring of exquisite quality.
She looked not a day over thirty despite being in her forties.
A closer look revealed features similar to Jonathan’s, her aura noble and refined.
She was none other than Elizabeth Holf, Jonathan’s mother.

“Sorry to trouble you, Mrs. Fullbuster,” Selina apologized. Her swollen eyes and disheveled state made Mrs. Fullbuster frown slightly.
Taking a seat, Elizabeth finally asked, “Why do you look like this? A young woman should always take care of her face–especially a pretty one like yours.
