Mystery Bride's Revenge (Selina)

Chapter 263

As she spoke, Ashley became increasingly agitated. She thought. Even if I can't get the female lead role. I absolutely won't let Selina have it? Ashley's agitation brought Frederick back to his senses. Realizing he'd said too much, he quickly added, "Tm sorry, Ashley, I must have been half- asleep Juu forget what I said"

Ashley said, "Frederick, you mentioned I could audition for The Game of Virgo for a bit part, and I'm going for it. Even if it's just a small role, I'll give it my all. This is a great opportunity, and I won't let you downl

Frederick responded, "Well, Ashley, it's good to hear you think that way, When the investors send someone to Sokovis for the auditions, you can go with Joseph. Ell let the investors know in advance."

"Thank you. Frederick As soon as she left Frederick's room, Ashley's face instantly fell. She thought, I can't afford to wait passively. If I want to surpass Selina and advance quickly, this is my only chance! During the audition, I need to find a way to stand out to the investors. This opportunity to change my fate cannot slip away."

Several days went by, and Selina found the calm to be unnerving. The Hudson family hadn't made any moves against her, which was unexpected. Upon investigating, she discovered that Viola had been shielding her, indicating an improvement in their relationship. Although Viola had not yet openly accepted her as a daughter-in-law, Selina sensed she was accepted in Viola's heart. Moreover, Viola's personality was very much to Selina's liking, and she felt they were on their way to becoming a great mother-in-law and daughter- in-law

During breakfast. Selina shared this discovery with Trevon. Trevon said, "I knew it! With a wife as amazing as you, how could Mom possibly object? As long as you show a bit of your true abilities, Morn will definitely acknowledge you as her daughter-in-law, Even if she questions her judgment she can't doubt my taste."

Selina savored the shrimp that Trevon had peeled and fed her. "Darling, you're getting better with compliments, When I first met you. I thought you were such a bore. Now, you shower me with praise. I really misjudged you."

That's only for you. For someone as beautiful and amazing as you. I can never praise you enough," Trevon replied.

Selina said, "Well keep it coming thent 1 certainly enjoy it. By the way, there is no news from the Brady family. Grandpa hasn't visited, and that troublesome Uncle Keith hasn't caused any issues. Did you do something behind the scenes?"

Trevon shrugged. "I haven't done anything. Perhaps, like Mom, they have recognized your capabilities. The Brady family has been in business for generations and is very practical. They didn't know your true strength before, but now that they do, they're naturally keeping quiet Selina nodded, though she couldn't shake the feeling that Trevon might have taken some action without informing her

Considering Keith's past behavior toward her. Selina found it hard to believe the Brady family had accepted her so easily. Trevon continued, Forget about them. Since when did you start caring about what others think? That's not the independent and capable woman I know

Selina smiled. "You're right. I've been complaining that life is too peaceful and dull. I guess I wanted to stir things up for myself. I must be losing it Oh, Darling, thank you for reminding me."

After dropping Trevon off at work, Selina received a mysterious text message: [Location: Toy Dreamland in Sokovis, Signed by WR. Entry on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle fit for a queen.] Selina thought for a moment. "Huh" She quickly guessed the sender's identity and couldn't help but

*mile.

Stepping out of the Brady manor, Selina made her way to the garage and selected one of Trevon's vehicles. It was a Harley-Davidson Koo motorcycle. After donning her sunglasses and safety helmet, she gripped the handlebars firmly and twisted the throttle, and the distinctive tour of the engine sent her speeding off into the distance.

Despite being Sokovis hub for toys, entertainment, and electronics, Toy Dreamland was eerily quiet at this moment. It seemed preparations had been made for the arrival of an important figure, with the place meticulously arranged in advance,

Selina donned a mask and moved stealthily, shipping past security to enter Toy Dreamland. Eventually, she spotted a silhouette in an arcade. While all other shops were closed and the area was deserted, the arcade was alive with the sounds of gaming

As Selina entered the anade, all eyes turned toward her. The only game available was The King of Fighters. A young man in a baseball cap approached her. "Hey, gorgeous. Care for a few rounds?"

Selina responded, "Of course" The crowd murmured amongst themselves Jason Ramos, the young gimais in question, was no slouch. He had clinched third place in Clusias The King of Fighters soumtament. The game was immensely popular in Clusia, with top players frequendy participating in live streams, major platformy, and competitions. Despite Jaxton's reputation, Selma defeated him effortlessly in just a few moves

Jaxton was stunned. Despite ranking among the top three players in the country, he had been utterly unclassed by Selina's flawless combos. It was a humiluting defeat "No way! One more time! Our more time".

Simeon Acosta, a middle aged nun, gently paned Jaxton's shoulder. "Hey everyone gets only one chance to held. That's what that person stated Don't you want your reward anyone?

to Sokovis just to spend a day here.

"It's my turn now," Simeon said, taking Jaxton's place and starting a match against Selina. Yet, he too was swiftly defeated after only a few exchanges. The battle wasn't even close. Simeon lowered his head and said, I admit defear": Jaxton uttered, "Hey, Boss, aren't you the national runner-up? Do you really have to go down like this? It felt like you didn't even try your hardest"

Simeon replied. "I gave it my all. It's just that this lady completely saw through my strategy. f even you, the third-place finisher, were so thoroughly beaten and played with, what chance does a mere runner-up like me have?"

Jaxton fell silent. In his past match against Simeon, he had lost by the slimmest of margins, something that could be attributed to luck. That was just how competitive the games were, Jaxton He didn't truly believe Simcon had bested him. A rematch might have changed the outcome.

But compared to Selina, the disparity in skill was overwhelming and disheartening. The idea of defeating her seemed almost inconceivable. Jaxton quickly looked at Selina "Wait Why is she so strong! How come we, regular tournament players, have never heard of her! Who exactly are you?" Selina said lightly, "When I won the championship in this game, you were probably still just a casual player, kid. Jaxton thought, Kid! He was utterly baffled. Selina looked to be only a year or two older than him. He coulda's fathom how she could call him a kid.

Simeon suddenly remembered something. Years ago, in Mumzik, a masked genius in fighting games, whose identity remained hudden, burst onto the scene. During her debut at World Fighting Games Tournament, she had claimed the title, besting all the top competitors, only to varush without a trace. No one had ever discovered who she was. Simeon thought. Could this be her? Given the timing and her age, it seems unlikely H were her, she would have been a minor back then.

Yet, Selina's extraordinary skill made it hard to dismiss the possibility. The answer to this question was actually quite simple. Simeon said. "So, both the runner-up and third-place finisher have been defeated by this lady. The person who brought us here must have invited the champion, didn' they!"

"Oh my, you're very clever. The main character always makes their entrance at the finale: a familiar voice suddenly said.
