Once out of earshot, Magnolia’s face turned stem, her voice barely a whisper. Toney, will we let that

She cared deeply for her family and didn’t want ude to fall into the hands of a quack.
Derick gently squeezed her shoulder. “Let’s just go along with what the folks want for now. As for Dr.
Quigley, we’ll watch her closely
Magnolia nodded in agreement. “A country girl who unexpectedly married Howard and then cured his
legs. And Howard happened to be the power behind Summit Corp. All these things together don’t seem
coincidental. Probably, Enoch in paving the way for her, trying to regain his stature as a master of

Derrick spoke with strategy. “Selina’s return to the country. She can’t let go of Howard. That country girl
has deep schemes, so you have to protect Selina A union between the Hamilton and the Chadwick
families would be ideal.”
Magnolia thought of her daughter’s sullenness, and her heart ached.
“Honey, what should we do now?” she asked.
“We need to find a way to make Gwendolyn file for divorce herself.”
Magnolia pondered deeply.
Leaning against the balcony railing, she looked down into the ballroom to see Selina, the belle of the
ball, her smile radiant. Who could guess such a beautiful young woman had nearly been driven mad by
her demons?
Her heartache was Howard
Neither of the Hamilton brothers, Sanford nor Skyler, had shown up. One was busy at the hospital, and
the other lost himself in motorcycle racing. The Hamilton and Lopez families‘ jewel, Selina, stood out
more, seemingly stealing the baby’s thunder.
In the ballroom, Selina wore a ck dress adorned with diamonds andce, resembling the noble ck
swan from Swan Lake reborn. Her figure was lithe and elegant, her presence unique.
With a petite but pricey tiara, her makeup was effortlessly exquisite
She was the center of attention, with the societydies and young gentlemen circling her, their words
filled with endless praise, their eyes reflecting admiration and approval.
“Ste, you’ve grown into such a pretty girl. There’s no girl in the whole town who tops you”
Selina responded gracefully, “Thanks for the kind words. Tonight, I’m hosting for my uncle, so enjoy
yourselves, please”
“Good girl!”
A familiardy took her hand, gushing. I’m envious. I don’t have a daughter, just a disappointing son.
Selina, would you consider being my daughter–inw?”
“Hey, that’s not fair. Selina should being
to my
house.”
With a daughter like Selina, the Hamilton family was the envy of many.
Facing their enthusiasm, Selina blushed and giggled. “Oh please, I’m still young.”
Out of theer of her eye, she spotted someone approaching the entrance and made an excuse to
leave. “Enjoy the party, everyone./I better greet the guests.”
With that, she brushed a stray lock of hair from her face and walked off, a smile ying on her lips.
