She had to admit that this new tactic of Lucas caught her off guard. She was worried she might end up agreeing
to his requests if she wasn't careful.
Stay calm. She had to stay calm.
When Aveline got home, she found Selena lounging on the sofa in the living room, watching TV. Hearing the
door, Selena turned her head, and then jumped up, rushing over with excitement. "My beautiful Ave! | missed
you so much!"
Selena's enthusiasm was overwhelming for most people.
Aveline stumbled back a few steps, a bit helpless. "I wasn't even gone for that long."
"But | missed you anyway!" Selena said, clinging to her tically.

Don't hugso tight-I can't breathe."
Selena immediately let go, grabbing her hands and looking her up and down. "What happened? How did you
catch a cold? Did you get chilled? Wait here I'll make you sginger tea." And with that, Selena sped off to the
kitchen like a whirlwind.
Aveline was speechless.

She seriously suspected that Selena's relationship with Aaron had her over the moon and overly thrilled!

head. "I'm already feeling better. There's no need for ginger tea. You can stop slicing." Selena turned around,
"Really?"
Aveline held up her hand, "See? The IV mark is still there."

to drineight then, | won't force you
to drink my ginger tea. But con, tellwhat happenedwhen you went back?"
So, she'd been waiting here all this tjust to hear the gossip firsthand!
Aveline settled into the sofa and recounted everything that had happened in detail.
"What!" Selena leapt to her feet, stunned. "Your parents are from the Cooper family, the wealthiest in Larbor
City?"
Aveline nodded. "Yes."
Although they hadn't done a paternity test yet, it was almost certain.
Selena's face went blank with shock. "So, you're actually a wealthy heiress! My dear, my beautiful friend, my
future happiness now rests in your hands!"
She immediately flashed a fawning smile, and Aveline felt the goosebumps rise on her skin all over again.
Aveline kept her face blank. "Can you be normal?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelena saluted playfully, "Yes, ma'am!"
Aveline sighed. "It's not that simple. | still haven't decided whether | want to meet them."
First, she needed to find out what role the Cooper family had played in the orphanage fire. Only then could she
think about everything else.
Selena jumped in, "Of course you
ooo
should meet them! No matter what the Coopers think, you need to knock that imposter out of your rightful place.
Why should that thief enjoy the life that was meant for you all these years? If the Coopers want a fake, then
make it a public scandal-let's see how they like that!"
Aveline couldn't help but laugh. "That's a bit extreme, isn't it?"
Selena's expression turned serious "There aren't many sane people left in this world. If you can't beat them, join
them. If they're crazy, you just have to be crazier!"
Aveline gave her a thumbs-up!
