Chapter 214
"Don’t worry, Ma. Fane will definitely get your money back."
Selena gave her a tight smile and replied, "All right. Fane and I are going to a ss reunionter. A few
of my old ssmates invited us to go and drink and sing our hearts out in a bar! I haven''t seen them in
forever, s o I have to go."
Fane and Selena rested for a while before they went off to shower, and they then prepared to go out
when i t was about time.
"Huh? Mom, where are the cars?"
Selena''s expression darkened when she saw the empty porch. She had heard the sound of a starting
car when she was showering but assumed that it came from the road. She never expected that the
Porsches would have been driven off.
"Oh. Xena and your brother took the cars out for a spin," Fiona said simply.
The corners of Selena''s mouth twitched. "Ma, can''t they just drive one car if they wanted to drive that
badly?" she said to Fiona. “Why did they drive both off? They knew that I had to go for an appointment.

Why couldn''t they have left one car for me? What should Fane and I do now?” "Ah, your brother just
wants to go out and show off in
front of his friends!" Fiona replied immediately, dismissing her daughter''s concern. "He asked you and
Fane to call a cab to wherever you''re supposed to go first and let them drive the cars, and you can call
them when you''re about to leave. He and Xena will take you." 1
Selena was rendered speechless. Fane had put his life at risk on the battlefield to earn money for
them, and h e even bought her a luxury car so that she would be able to stand proudly before her
ssmates. 2
She never imagined that her own little brother and Xena would take the cars out while they were
bathing.
In the end, all she could do was sh a pained smile. " Looks like we can only call a cab now," she
spoke dejectedly.
Fane shrugged his shoulders, an equally tight smile on his face as well. "No way around it. Who knew
that you had such an inconsiderate little brother?" He mused. "By the way, your old university mates
are cultured, right? I hope they''re not as snobbish as Rachel.” 1
When he said that, Fane looked as though he just thought of something as he added, "Oh, yeah. Did
something happen between you and Rachel during your university days? Why would she treat you so
disdainfully otherwise? She could at least give you some respect after so many years, right?”
Selena felt overwhelmed at that moment. "She always thought that she was prettier than me back in
university, so she thought that she should be the belle of the ss. But..."
"Oh," Fane concluded, "so it''s because she''s not as pretty as you, but she still thinks she’s prettier than
you. And she envied you because of that. So now that she’s married to a rich man, she''s trying to
stamp out your presence!”
Fane quickly picked up on the underlying message." Don’t bother about these people," he added, "she
actually has really low self-esteem!"
"That’s right!"
Selena offered her husband a kind smile before her gaze fell on Fane’s clothing. "Why don''t you buy
some nicer clothester on? You did buy mine earlier, but yours..."
Fane checked his watch. "Never mind, we don''t have that much time. My clothes are pretty clean too,
and I just changed into them. We don''t need to go and buy a special fancy outfit. It doesn''t matter what
I wear anyway, so long as you''re dressed up nicely!”
"You sure know your way around words!"
The two of them exchanged words as they walked out. They quickly hailed a cab and went straight to
The Lotus Bar.
At that moment, quite a few people had already gathered before the bar''s entrance.
Hugh gave a winsome smile. "Oh, right. There’s a surprise for all of you today. Our ss belle Selena
Taylor-who had disappeared off the radar for a long time-will join us! I so happened to run into her at
the entrance of the zoo, and I managed to get her on board."
"Really? We haven''t seen her in years. I wonder how she is now!"
