When she changed into a dress and hurried out of the Reed’s villa, Mike was already standing by the car door. “You are so beautiful.”
“Thank you Mike.”
“I just returned and I really don’t understand the domestic cocktail parties. Thank you for being my dance partner.”
She smiled. “No problem, Mike.”
At the reception, she realized that her Mike was the mayor’s son.
“You just knew It seems that I am not very attractive that I didn’t even arouse your interest.” Mike made a wounded expression.
Selina hurriedly smiled. “You are very charming.”
Another group of people came to get close with Mike. Selina found an excuse and slipped to an empty corner. She was introverted and never liked being the centre of attention. She was even a little timid, which was why she was always bullied by Cecilia.
Now that she knew her shortcomings, she wanted to change but lacked a suitable opportunity.
She took a glass of wine and stood in an unnoticeable place, observing the people in the venue.
This was her usual practice. When she was forced by Darren to attend several dances, she always hid in the corner and avoided everyone. At that time, Eric would appear and bring all the news she wanted to hear about.
Now that she thought about it, Eric was able to deceive and take advantage of her because she shut herself off from all other access to the outside world in addition to her stupidity and Eric’s viciousness. All the news she got became from Eric and Cecilia.
After drinking all the wine in the glass in one gulp, she forgot about her own alcohol tolerance and held up a second glass.
“Don’t drink it!”
A man snatched the glass away from her hand.
She frowned and looked over. It was Darren.
Joy rose in her heart. But when she saw the woman’s bag he held, it disappeared without a trace.
“You came with Sophia”
“She is my girlfriend. Isn’t it normal for her to come here with me” Darren replied with a hint of anger.
She didn’t know how to face Darren now. She didn’t want to give up on him, but she couldn’t accept him using her as Sophia’s substitute again this time.
She turned around to leave.
“Where are you going”
“Why do you care Didn’t you want me to be as far away from you as possible” She stared at him after grabbing the wine from the table and drinking it all in one gulp. “I’m a poor drinker. I won’t recognize you after I’m drunk and I won’t disturb you either.”
Darren grabbed her wrist and was even more furious after smelling the scent of alcohol on her body. “I’ll have someone take you back!”
She shook off Darren’s hand. She smiled inside. This was the first time she let her anger on him after being reborn.
Taking advantage of the alcohol’s effect on her body, Selina stepped on Darren’s clean leather shoes. “How can you bully me, you villain!”
Darren looked at her in shock.
Selina ran out in a hurry. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would pounce into his arms and cry without self-respect.
He clearly vowed that he would protect her forever and would not change until death, so how could he change now!
“Be careful!”
Someone reminded her loudly.
The stairs there were broken, and there was a two-meter high platform below.
Selina, who was feeling dizzy, had no time to stop and staggered before falling down.
Her body was caught by someone. She smelled a familiar scent, heard a muffled sound in a daze, and then lied on Darren.
“Call the ambulance!”
Mike hurried over to help her. “Selina, how are you”
Selina, who had just reacted, hurriedly pushed Mike away and rushed to Darren. “Darren, wake up! Don’t scare me…”
“Uh…” Darren held Selina’s hand as his lips turned white. “Don’t move me, I… there is something underneath…”
Sophia ran over with a pale face. “Darren”
Blood slowly seeped out on the ground. Everyone was shocked.
Selina trembled all over. She didn’t want Darren to die again in order to protect her. She didn’t!
Darren closed his eyes but didn’t let go of her hand. He felt her trembling, and he spoke weakly. “My back is probably scratched. It won’t kill me.”
“What nonsense are you talking about Why are you so careless!” Sophia scolded loudly in front of others for the first time.
The ambulance came soon.
Selina, hand him to the doctor. Let’s move aside first.” Mike tried to help Selina up, but she remained motionless.
Sophia suddenly pushed Selina away hard. “Can you stop making trouble, Miss Reed!”
Selina became stiff and was supported by Mike awkwardly.
Sophia’s tone was full of anger and contempt.
As she watched Darren being sent to the ambulance, Selina rushed over to squeeze in.
The nurse stopped Selina and looked like Selina was making things difficult for her. “Sorry, we can’t have too many family members coming along.”
“I must go!”
Mike walked over. “I’ll take you there, Selina.”
Darren, who was lying on the stretcher, did not open his eyes. His tone was weak but firm. “Let her come up, she has to pay for the medical expenses!”
Everyone, “…”
Selina got into the ambulance and sat beside Sophia obediently, not daring to take a breath.
Because the injured was the richest man in City A, the police cleared up the road and they arrived at Puiva Hospital in less than half an hour. Luke personally greeted them. “What did you do that turned yourself like this”
After seeing the two women beside the stretcher, he shook his head. “I see.”
Darren was pushed into the operating room and Selina sat outside. She had never been as panicked as this moment. If something happened to him, what should she do
She was in despair, and it was him who finally gave her the courage to live.
“Miss Reed!”
She slowly looked up. It was Sophia standing in front of her.
“Please leave, thank you.”
She subconsciously refused. “I don’t want to.”
“I have investigated you. The Reed family is deteriorating year over year. You want to find a good marriage partner for your family, I can understand. But please don’t think about Darren. A woman without much net worth or any skills is not worthy of Darren.”
“It’s not you who have the final say on whether I’m good enough for him. Even the most popular celebrity will be eliminated. The person who will get married with him is definitely not you!”
Sophia looked at Selina as if she was looking at a fool and chucked. “It’s obvious that you rarely pay attention to financial news. My family and the Auton family have a business close relationship. Darren’s circle of friends overlaps with mine. We also went to the same school. Miss Reed, you… no chance at all.”
Selina was dumbfounded.
Sophia shook her head. “I’ll go through the hospitalization procedures for Darren. Girl, you are too tender. You are nothing without the Reed family. How are you going to love Darren Just by saying that you love him”
Selina stood up slowly, stared at the sign that indicated an operation was going on, and became lost in thought…
After a while, Darren was pushed out and was sent to the ward.
Sophia ran over. Selina stepped into the ward first and locked the door. No matter how many times Sophia knocked on the door, Selina ignored her.
When she walked to the hospital bed and looked at him sleep, she had tears in her eyes.
He clearly said he didn’t love her anymore and let her go, but once she was in danger, he still risked his life to protect her as always.
“I am indeed a fool, Darren. I am not worthy of your love at all, I admit it.”
Reaching out and stroking his face, she leaned over and kissed his lips while her tears fell on his face.
“I started to change, so wait for me, okay”
She straightened up and took a final good look at him before turning around and walking out.
After Selina walked to the door and pushed it open, Sophia looked angry. “What are you doing!”
“Take care of him.”
Selina walked out of the ward calmly.
She walked straight out of the hospital and looked up at the full moon in the night sky. She then took out her phone and made a call.
“Hello, my name is Selina. I want to enter the showbiz!”
