Chapter 18

“Whoa, check out those hotties! Hold up. Manuel, doesn’t that girl look just like Selina!”

“It is her Manuel hissed through gritted teeth, fury in his eyes. He’d know Selina anywhere.

Caleb was stunned. ‘How could we just randomly run into her in this big city! And isn’t Selina cut off from the Harvey family’s wealth? How’s the here at a Lamborghini dealership” he wondered.

“Wait, you’re saying that the last Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica here was grabbed by them?” Caleb asked, pointing at Selina and Lydia.

“Yes, sir. Ms. Harvey reserved the vehicle, confirmed the salesperson

Caleb threw Manuel a confused look. Manuel was just as flabbergasted. “No way! Selina’s just a small town girl. How could she afford this without our family’s money!”

Lydia raught sight of Manuel and couldn’t help but smirk. “Of all the places, we run into these clowns!”

“Just ignore them. Lydia Selina said coolly. She was all chill. Seeing them or not, it was all the same to her. She was over making the Harvey family her number one. After the moved out and cut all ties, they meant zip to her.

The salesperson approached with the paperwork. “Here’s the contract, Ms. Harvey, Please sign here.”

As Selina reached for the pen, Manuel barged in. “You can’t sign that!” He confronted her, seething “Selina, where did you get the cash?”

“Watch it. Why so nasty? Did you kiss a trash can? Lydia snapped back, already kicking herself for not putting the Harvey family in their place sooner, and here was Manuel, accusing Selina of theft. She was ready to explode.

Manuel eyed Lydia, sensing he had seen her before, and frowned, “And who might you be?”

Before Lydia could fire back, Selina interjected, “She’s my sister. My real sister.”

“You’re nothing but a disloyal lowlife, Selins. You broke our family’s heart, and now this. He couldn’t finish. Selina smacked him right across the face

The room fell silent. Manuel, in shock, touched his cheek. Selina had actually hit him This sister he looked down upon and wished was gone!

You? Manuel got another smack, this time from Lydia

“That’s for your filthy mouth!” Lydia said, shaking off her hand. That felt right.

Selina also felt liberated. For once, she stood up to the ungrateful Harvey family, fed up with their false accusations and emotional turmoil. “What’s the deal here? Caleb intervened. “Can’t we talk this out instead of resorting to violence? You good, Manuel?”

Manuel, hand on his reddened face, spat back. “Damn it. You think I’m afraid of hitting women?”

Manuel was furning. If Selina were a guy, fists would be flying. But he didn’t hit wou

“Oh please,” Lydia scoffed, barely containing her laughter. “He thinks we’d be scared he’d hit a woman Selina, I bet you could hold back and still send him to the ER. What a joke”

Lydia whispered to Selina, “Stay away from him; you know dumb is contagiousTM

Lydia and Selina teamed up against Manuel, pushing him to the edge. “Selina Harvey!” he shouted.

“First off, don’t say my name because I hate to hear it from your mouth. And you! You’re not worth my time” Selina whipped out her cell and dialed. “Hello, 911 I’m at the Lamborghini dealership, and I need to report saineout trying to assault me. Thanks!”

Manuel and Caleb were dumbfounded. Caleb couldn’t help but ask, “You stan swinging and now you’re calling the cops! Really looking to stir the pot, huhr

provoked. Ever heard the one about starting something you can’t finish? The cameras got it all, including someone

Selina sneered, “I swung because provok accusing me of stealing”

“Listen, Selina. I don’t hit women, but that doesn’t mean you can walk all over me? Manuel was livid, “You think after losing the Harvey family’s backing, the Brady family will just welcome you? You think Trevon is just gonna foot the bill for your life! Come on. You’re trouble, why are you. even around! Why did we even bother to bring you back? I figured you’d stay quiet, but nope, you’re back to your old tricks!”

Manuel acted like he was better than everyone else, hurling baseless accusations at Selina on the ground, like a judge dishing out punishment, hitting her where it hurt most.

Chapter 18

“It all makes sense now, Manuel. That’s just who Selina is… No shocker I had a bad feeling when you said you picked her up from the boonies.” Caleb’s opinion of Selina took a turn. Sure, she’d got the Harveys‘ blood as the long–lost daughter missing for twenty–one years. But after she went missing, she was scraping by at the bottom of the barrel, not getting the classy upbringing or fancy education the rich kids had. Growing up broke. one’d be lucky if they didn’t end up on the wrong side of the tracks, still managing to hit the books. The real worry was she might’ve picked up some shady habits, the kind that stick like glue, tougher to shake.

But the Harvey family had Ashley now–smart, sophisticated, everything Selima wasn’t. Integrating someone like Selina from a totally different world into the Harvey family’s life was never gonna work, h was bound to be a disaster.

Caleb had tried to war Manuel about all this. However, the Harvey family’s desire to find their long–lost daughter overrode everything else. ‘Now look where that got them Caleb sighed inwardly.

As Mariel’s words shifted the room’s mood, Selina’s expression turned sey. Without another word, she strode up to the contract and signed boldly. Lydia then flashed her black card, flaunting it before hurling it to Selina

Selina swiped the card, glanced around the room, and declared, “This Lamborghini! A gift from my sister. Any issues with that!”
