I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Hearing this, Elsa’s face turned red with embarrassment. She instinctively looked at her parents. It was one thing to gossip behind someone’s back, but now being called out by a relative made it clear she had been speaking out of turn.

In fact, she didn’t know if Selene had grown up in the mountains. The whole family kept it a secret and never told her anything.

Mr. Wilkinson and Mrs. Wilkinson were both displeased and glanced at Elsa.

Mr. Wilkinson smiled and said, “Selene was taken abroad by traffickers and adopted by a couple. After they passed away, she continued her studies abroad. John met her by chance while he was studying overseas.”

Mr. Wilkinson completely fabricated this story to ensure everyone knew Selene had a clean background and was hardworking.

Selene did not refute; she understood Mr. Wilkinson’s intentions. To help her better integrate into her new life without prejudice, he had concocted this lie.

It wasn’t entirely a lie. Selene had indeed spent years on an island abroad, training day and night with the Celestial Alliance.

“Well, Sarah is quite fortunate,” said the uncle, glancing at Elsa again. “Elsa, how could you speak so carelessly?”

Elsa’s face turned pale and then flushed; she didn’t know how to explain herself. Fearing that any explanation would make things worse, she forced a laugh to cover her embarrassment.

Mrs. Wilkinson, worried Elsa might say something else inappropriate, smiled and said, “Elsa, could you fetch my phone from the car?”

Elsa quickly walked away to avoid further questioning from relatives.

The elder Wilkinsons continued introducing Selene to friends and family at the lively homecoming party. John also acknowledged his sister, giving Selene more confidence.

When Elsa returned with the phone, Selene had gone to the restroom. Learning this, Elsa felt an inexplicable urge to follow her.

Selene was waiting for Elsa. As soon as Elsa stepped out of the hall, Selene intercepted her: “I advise you to stop. We are family; I don’t want to stoop to your level. But if you provoke me again, don’t blame me for being harsh.”

Selene was tired of Elsa causing trouble repeatedly.

With no one else around, Elsa dropped her pretense and sneered, “Don’t think that just because Dad covered for you, no one knows your past. I saw you in prison.”

“Yes,” Selene replied calmly. “I saw you taking pictures at the prison gate that day. You ruined my dress and swapped the photos. These petty tricks of yours are really beneath you; you’re tarnishing the Wilkinson family’s reputation, not mine.”

“You’re the one bringing shame to the Wilkinsons,” Elsa retorted angrily. Realizing that all her little schemes had been discovered made her feel that Selene was almost inhuman in her perceptiveness.

Elsa blurted out, “How did you know about the dress? Or about the photos?”

She regretted it immediately; hadn’t she just admitted it was her?

Selene hadn’t seen it herself but deduced it after discovering Elsa’s photos before the homecoming party where they would be displayed publicly.

Without explaining further, Selene said, “Behave yourself. If there’s a next time, I’ll make sure you can’t stay in the Wilkinson family anymore. You should know your place now-are Mom and Dad listening to me or you? Is our brother on your side or mine? It wouldn’t be hard for me to find an excuse to send you abroad.”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Hearing this, Elsa turned pale with rage: “Selene, you’ve finally shown your true colors! You’re here to take everything from me-you took Harvey first and now our parents! I won’t let you succeed.”

“Then you’d better weigh your options carefully,” Selene warned coldly. “You should know about Joy Chaucer’s fate. If you don’t want to end up like Joy Chaucer, you’d better behave.”

The threat was clear enough.

Everyone knew Joy Chaucer’s story within their circle-a fraud who tried to compete with Meredith and ended up on death row in prison.

Joy Chaucer had also been driven by jealousy towards Meredith and spiraled into ruin step by step.

Joy Chaucer hadn’t known her place; if Elsa wanted to repeat that mistake, Selene wouldn’t hold back.

Of course, this was just a scare tactic for Elsa.
