But now, things had taken an interesting turn.
She loved a challenge.
"Yes, I understand what you're saying, and I will do my best. You can count on me."
"Of course, I have complete faith in you."
After hanging up, Selena looked at her reflection in the mirror.
A confident, determined smile played on her lips.
Initially, she hadn't really thought about marrying Adrian.
But now, she felt it was time to play a different game.

At the main residence, Mrs. Blackwell had just hung up the phone, the smile still on her face, when she heard a loud crash.
Oliver had smashed an antique vase.
For the Blackwell family, it wasn't a significant financial loss.
The main problem was that a shard had cut his face.
Mrs. Blackwell flew into a panic, immediately calling for the driver to go to the hospital.
Oliver refused to cooperate with the treatment, screaming for Isabel over and over.
Adrian arrived upon hearing the news and held him down so the doctor could treat the wound.
After a bandage was applied, Oliver tried to tear it off.
Adrian's face darkened. "Think carefully. A scar on your face won't look good."
Oliver hesitated, then lowered his hand, his lips pressed together as he looked down, clearly upset.
Adrian pulled over a chair and sat down, asking Mrs. Blackwell and the others to leave before questioning him.
Oliver opened his smartwatch and showed him the social media post.
He was connected with Leo on the app.
They were classmates, and everyone had added each other.
He and Leo hadn't been close before, but they weren't on bad terms either.
It was only after their fight that they had become strangers.
But they hadn't deleted each other.
Adrian looked at the photos.
