smile that didn’t fit him then appeared on his face.

When the girls were gone, Bane went in front of her, his menacing look disappearing
completely and transforming him back into the gentle youth he was. “Why are you so
stupid? They were talking about me, not you. Why did you argue with them?”
Victoria frowned and naturally answered, “They weren’t right, so I had to go argue with
them. What do you care?”
She then turned around and left.

Bane sent her home that night. It was the only time he had seen him lose his temper so
intensely; he never did do it before or after that incident.
The event should have been a brief interlude in her life but thinking back on it, Bane’s
childhood had to be extremely horrible. A broken family was much worse than one with
a single parent; at least she had a peaceful family environment and enjoyed
wholehearted love from her father.
At that thought, she came back to herself and looked toward Ethan. “I know a little
about it. Why?”
He understood at once. “You really don’t know much, Miss Selwyn.”
“If you’re referring to his family, I’ve already known about it since I was in school.”

“Did you know that Mrs. Morison committed suicide shortly after the family went
overseas?”
Her heart stuttered when she heard the word ‘suicide. “What did you say?”
“Judging by your reaction, you really don’t know about it.”

Victoria pursed her lips. She really didn’t know about this, only that the entire Morison
family had moved overseas not long after the scandal. Bane went with them and there
was no news of the family after that. She and Bane met again only after many years
had passed and his behavior seemed extremely stable, so she had always assumed
that his family problems had been resolved. It hadn’t been a great memory, so she
hadn’t been brave enough to ask about his family business. She hadn’t known that his
mother had killed herself.
“Because of…her?” Victoria was about to say ‘the mistress‘ but didn’t think it was
appropriate with Nathan present and so changed her wording.
Ethan was intelligent and immediately knew whom she was talking about, nodding.
“Yes. His mother chose to end herself after falling apart emotionally. If you really do
want to know more, I will tell you about it another time.”
She knew at once that whatever he was about to say wasn’t suitable for Nathan’s ears

and nodded. “Okay. Find me when you have the chance.”
“Sure, Miss Selwyn.”

They went along the long corridor and soon entered the interior. She could see Bane
holding Nicole’s hand from a long distance away as they waited in the doorway. He still
looked unbothered when she came closer.
“You’re here? Did you get sick during the journey? You don’t look well.” He eyed her face
in concern.
He had put Victoria under house arrest yet pretended that nothing was wrong, which
made her furious and open her mouth, ready to retort instinctively. However, she
remembered what Ethan had said about Bane’s mother killing herself and swallowed
her words instead before bowing her head, pretending she hadn’t heard what he had.
said.
Never mind. Arguing with him won’t change anything.
Nicole ran toward her. “Mummy!”
Victoria then noticed how red Nicole’s eyes were as if the girl had just been crying. “Did
you feel sick during the journey?”

Her daughter nodded pitifully.
“I’ll make you some soup later, alright?”
“Okay.”
Bane had probably taken good care of Nicole then.
A man resembling a butler soon came over to introduce himself. “Hello, Miss Selwyn.
I’m Donald and will be your butler from now on. Tell me if you need anything and I’l
make arrangements for it.”
Victoria’s expression was cool and she didn’t look at him with courtesy. While Donald
hadn’t offended her, she didn’t really want to be here and so had no obligation to be
polite to everyone here. If the butler didn’t like it, then it was Bane’s problem.

True enough, Donald touched his head when he saw her reaction. Did I say something
that offended her?
Bane smiled. “They’ve experienced a tiring journey, plus the roads here aren’t flat. They
must be extremely exhausted, so take them away to rest.”
Donald immediately took the opportunity. “Ah. I’ll bring Miss Selwyn, Miss Nicole, and
Chapter 391 Truth About The Suicide
Mr. Nathan away so they can rest.”
They all had to go to their rooms first, so Victoria nodded and brought the children
along with her.
The butler led them to the first floor and then to their respective rooms. She was in no
mood to study the interior decorations and deposited her luggage to one side before
taking off her shoes and collapsing on the bed. It was very soft and even bounced
when she lay on it. It was very comfortable and it would have been better if she had
been here for a holiday instead of being placed under house arrest.
At that thought, she closed her eyes.
Knock! Knock!
Her eyes opened. “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Miss Selwyn.” Ethan’s voice came from outside the door.
It’s him?
She sat up. “Come on in.”
He pushed the door open and entered the room, while she got off the bed and sat on

“Mr. Morison is out right now, so I’ll tell you all about it. You do have to prepare yourself
though, Miss Selwyn.”
His words confused her. Prepare yourself? Was it far more complicated than suicide?
