T.. there no other way but for them to continue filming?" Sara asked
"I'm afraid so, honey Quinton replied. Given the dire situation for Joseph and Ashley, quitting would only make things worse,
Just then, Mamiel's phone rang. Seeing it was Lloyd, he showed the caller ID to Quinton and Sara before answering on speaker, "Lloyd, have you seen the live stream!"
Tve been.. watching from the start. After retiring from raring due to his loss to Selina, he went abroad to start from the bottom. Lloyd wanted to strengthen his mindset and search for a new direction in life. Racing was now just a hobby and not a career. He had promised Selina and announced his retirement publicly, leaving no way to go back on his word. Lloyd's dream was shattered upon discovering Selina was Flying Shadow. His pride was crushed when he could not defend his title or defeat her. *Lloyd, about this, Manuel uttered.
"Dad, Mom, Manuel, why didn't any of you tell me about what's been happening at home?" A familiar voice suddenly spoke. It was Frederick Harvey, the second son of the Harvey family, Manuel was slightly stunned. "Frederick, why are you with Lloyd:"
I heard Lloyd had come to Frelar, and since I was here for some business, I decided to meet up with him. That's when I found out what's been happening back home. At first, I couldn't believe it, but once Lloyd confirmed it, it felt like the world was collapsing What on earth is going on with you all? How did things get so bad with Selina? This is getting out of hand!" Frederick said.
"Hmph Don't even bring her up! Don't this all Selina's doing! What did our family owe her? We went through so much trouble to find her, gave her the status of a heiress, and provided her with all the power and wealth that came with being a daughter of the Harvey family. And how did Selina repay us? She bit the hand that fed her! She hurt me, your mother, your siblings, and even Harvey Group!" Hearing Frederick's accusation, Quinton realized that his son was still seeing Selma through rose-colored glasses, so he quickly tried to snap Frederick out of it. Quinton thought, Otherwise, with Frederick's temperament, he would definitely suffer losses if he goes against Selina. He might even end up being manipulated by her. That simply can't happen!"
"Dad!" Frederick, Manuel, and Lloyd all spoke out simultaneously.
"Honey Sara chimed in as well
Their tones were somewhat laced with reprimand. Quinton was left stunned, thinking. Not only my sons but against me? What's happening! even my beloved wife has turned
Frederick rabbed his temples. "Fortunately, Patrick has been too busy with a project to keep up with outside news, but it won't be long before he hears about this."
Among all the brothers, they held not only Quinton and Sara but also Patrick Harvey in high regard. If it had not been for Patrick, the eldest son. who consistently displayed exceptional talent and shouldered the family's burdens while pushing forward, his younger brothers would not have had the freedom to pursue their own dreams, Frederick thought. If Patrick finds out about this, with his cold and indifferent nature, I can't predict what he might do To his family, Patrick was a dependable older brother. However, he was a ticking time bomb to his enemies, and they would be obliterated with one wrong move, Patrick wouldn't let anyone who harmed the Harvey family off the hook, but would that principle extend to Selina as well!
*Let's k
keep this from Farrick for now I don't want to distract him." Sara took the initiative to say. Her heart ached for her eldest son, even though the position of heir to Harvey Group was highly coveted In other wealthy families, this might have sparked fierce conflicts, but that was not the case with theirs. The Harvey family valued blood ties, family bonds, and their connections above all. They were a tightly-knit family where loyalty was paramount, and betrayal was unthinkable, Each family member's well-being was always the top priority. Patrick took on the role of Harvey Group's successor out of duty as the eldest son. He had the ability, but Sara felt that he never fully accepted it from the beart. If given a choice, Patrick would probably want to pursue his dreams freely like his younger brothers, rather than being bound by Harvey Group and confined in a gilded cage. As these thoughts crossed her mind, Sara's heart ached even more. She mused, 'Selina. Selina_Why Is this happening? Was I wrong! Was my mistake in not paying enough attention to you from the beginning, and being too focused on Ashley's feeling Or was it in bringing you back at all! Should I have left you to fend for yourself assuming you were dead? Would that have spared Everyor the pain we're in now!
Dad Mom, Manuel go back home once I finish this book signing. Frederick was a renowned novelist, whose series had been translated and was a global bestseller. After all, only a few novelists could achieve significam success both in Clusia and internationally. This time, in addition to the book signing Frederick came to Frchar not only for the signing event but also to negotiate the adaptation rights of his novels, which had been decided to be made into a TV series. But now, with the family in such turmoil, Frederick's only thought was to wrap things up quickly and return home to find out what had truly happened. He wanted to see if there was any chance of reconciling the family with Selina.
Frederick wasn't unre how his other brothers or parents felt about their long-lost sister, but seeing Selina struggle in the countryside without even fushing junior high had pained him deeply. He thought, Selina is my biological sister! She should have grown up pumpered, but instead, Este burned fem into a girl raised in the countryside who didn't even graduate from junior high. I've been so busy that I've only been able to check in on her diroughs mesages and haven't had the chance to visit in person yet. Now, I hear that Selina has severed nes with the family, and the situation laurealated. She's realed her hidden identities and married Trevou What the fick Fiedlerick felt like he had steppest into a parall

universe.
The other end said, "It's good that you're coming back" Thus, the decision was made.
After hanging up, Lloyd glanced at Frederick, who had lost all interest in his coffee, and softly asked, "Frederick, do you still see Selina as our sister. even after everything she's done to hurt our family?"
"Of course! Lloyd, I know you have reservations about Selina's background and the years of separation, but no matter what, she's our biological sister who was missing for 21 years! What are you thinking?" Frederick responded.
"1.." Lloyd started to speak but then fell silent. He took a sip of his coffee and murmured. "Frederick, I envy you... Lloyd thought. 'If I had approached Selina with Frederick's mindset from the start, sought to understand why she wanted to sever ties with the family and how things escalated so badly, might things have turned out differently? But there are no "what ifs."
Frederick was taken aback. It was the first time he had seen Lloyd look so defeated, even more than when he had to give up his beloved racing career. Earlier, while they were having coffee, Lloyd hadn't seemed this disheartened. In Lloyd's eyes, Frederick saw regret. Seeing Lloyd like this. Frederick couldn't bring himself to ask more. He could only say. "When I get back. I'll thoroughly investigate everything. I'll find out what Selina really thinks!"
"I'm counting on you, Frederick. If you can get an answer from Selina, I'd like to hear it too. This is my heartfelt request as your brother," Lloyd said.
Frederick gave Lloyd a firm pat on the shoulder and nodded. "I will!"
Meanwhile, Selina had just finished chatting in the group live and was discussing the details of her recent revenge with Lydia on her phone. Suddenly, a message from an unknown sender popped up. It was from Husband ThatSelinaLovesMost
