Chapter 1336
Selina stopped Erine mid-sentence, "Erine, it''s a veryplicated matter, don''t concern yourself with this." Erine could only remain silent.
While a storm was brewing in the Perry family homoe, Tobias returned home to the Whitlock family vi.
The investigation results were out.
Francia was indeed James''s older sister, who had always been living in the countryside.
James had saved Tobias'' life.
He was naturally grateful toward James.
Hence, he changed his indifferent attitude and gave Francia the best hospitality.
Francia''s eyes widened with surprise when she saw Tobias.
She pulled Natalie aside and eximed, "My dear niece, where did you find such a good-looking man? I have never seen such a handsome man in my entire life."
Natalie was delighted to hear Francia''s praises.
"We just came to know each other," she said with a
smile.
Francia''s thoughts began to churn.
She had a daughter who was not married yet.
Her daughter was even younger than Natalie.
"If Natalie can find such a good man, so can my daughter!" Francia thought.N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
Francia proceeded to speak her thoughts aloud, "My dear niece, I have a daughter who is not married yet. Please help to introduce her to a good man."
"Of course," Natalie immediately agreed.
She thought that she should help to take care of Francia''s daughter, who was also James'' niece.
Little did she know, her promise would soon be the root of her problems.
Not only would Francia''s daughter be involved with Tobias, Matthew would also be dragged into this.
The night had fallen.
Natalie arranged a room to sleep in for Francia.
The moment Natalie left, Francia rolled on the bed with excitement.
This was the first time she had lived in such a nice ce.
Francia couldn''t wait to call her daughter and tell her about her experience.
"Bowie, I have arrived at Natalie''s house. Do you know how handsome her husband is? I''ll ask Natalie to introduce you to someone like him so that you can also be with a rich man!" she eximed.
Francia''s daughter was Bowie Zimmer.
Bowie was overjoyed when she heard this. "Really? Mom, could I go over too then?" she pleaded.
Francia assured her confidently, "Don''t worry, you cane over once I gain a firm footing here."
She came to the Whitlock family with great ambitions!
This was not just a simple visit to the Whitlock''s.
It was midnight, but Saoirse had yet to take her leave.
Selina''s legs were starting to get sore.
She said, "You guys take your time, I will be taking my leave now."
Selina was about to walk away when Matthew called out to her.
"Selina."
She stopped in her tracks.
Matthew stood up and hinted at Saoirse, "Saoirse, I''ll ask the driver to take you home. Selina and I have to retire for the night."
Before Saoirse could answer, Liselle voiced out, "Mr. William! How could you think of going to bed with this woman? Miss Saoirse should be the one with you! She is your wife! This woman is only a mistress!"
"Stop with your impudence!" Matthew''s face darkened,
His tone was low and feral.
"Brine, take her away," Matthew growled, "I won''t allow anyone to insult Selina."
Brine had long wanted to chase Liselle out.
She immediately jumped to Matthew''s orders and said, "Mr. William has ordered you to leave."
Liselle turned to look at Saoirse." Miss Saoirse..." she pleaded.
"Don''t drive her away," Saoirse finally said, "We will take our leave."
Saoirse walked towards Liselle.
She nced at Matthew again, "William, Liselle''s words might be crude but they are still the truth. Right now, I, Saoirse, am still yourwful wife." Matthew''s pupils constricted.
Selina cast her eyes on the floor.
She knew that even though Matthew had rebuked Liselle, he would never do that to Saoirse.
"I guess I would have to carry the name of a mistress." She thought.
Matthew owed too much to Saoirse, he would not argue with her.
"Saoirse, you''re wrong." Matthew''s low voice suddenly sounded out in her ears.
Shock appeared in Selina''s eyes.
She looked up at Matthew.
Matthew looked at Saoirse as he
said aloud, "I had lost my memory when I came to know Selina. Both of us were not aware that I was married, so there was never a mistress. Selina was never in the wrong, it was always me. Saoirse, don''t me Selina! She was never my mistress! She ispletely innocent!"
His voice was firm and powerful and his words reverberated in her mind and into her heart.
Selina felt herself warmed at his deration.
Meanwhile, Saoirse and Liselle''s expressions changed.
After a moment of silence, Saoirse sighed, "I understand now William, I understand what you mean."
With those words, she turned around and walked to the entrance of the vi, Liselle hurriedly followed suit.
When they arrived at the entrance, Liselleined, "Miss Saoirse, you should have stayed and let that woman have a hard time!"
"Liselle, didn''t you see that William was protecting her? He said that woman was innocent, and that he was to me. But how could I me him?" Saoirse said with a resigned tone.
"Miss Saoirse, you need to stop being so soft and kind," Liselle chastised her.
"I''ve learned how to fight now," Saoirse responded weakly.
"But you''re not being tough enough," Liselle replied.
Saoirse''s eyes were tinged with sadness, "Liselle, I''ve told myself to be tough countless times, but every time I look into William''s eyes, I find my resolve crumbling. He is my weakness, so what other choice do I
have?" ne
"Miss Saoirse, you should go back now and embarrass that woman," Liselle suggested.
Saoirse disagreed with her.
She shook her head and said, "Liselle, let''s just head back. We can talk about thister."
Liselle was aggravated.
Saoirse was too weak. She must do something to help her! She thought.
Saoirse headed up to her bedroom the moment they reached home.
On the other hand, Liselle went downstairs.
She made a phone call to Caroline.
Liselle told her what had happened over the phone.
Liselle grumbled, "Miss Yethan, don''t you think Miss Saoirse is being too weak? That woman is just a mistress, but Miss Saoirse chose to keep quiet
because Mr. William defended her!"
"You''re right Liselle, Selina is a mistress," Caroline agreed with her.
Liselle was encouraged by her agreement. She continued, "That''s right, but Mr. William still defended her!"
Caroline fell silent.
"Liselle, if only one person calls
Selina a mistress, William could still
defend her. However, what if it was
tens, hundreds, or even tens of thousands of people, could William still do so?" Caroline suddenly said.
Liselle held her breath.
"Miss Yethan, what do you mean?" she asked cautiously.
Caroline raised her voice with excitement as an idea formed in her mind.
"Liselle, do you still have William and Saoirse''s marriage certificate?"
"Of course," said Liselle, "Miss Saoirse has always kept it with her, even after arriving in Glevania. She keeps it in her room."
