Chapter 719: Dropping the Ball
This photo would be the most direct evidence proving Selene had been in prison. Elsa took several more shots and saved them on her phone. John and Selene were both vigilant people, and they immediately sensed someone was taking pictures. John turned to look in Elsa’s direction, causing her heart to skip a beat as she turned and ran away. She had disguised herself well, so John could only see a fleeing figure.
Selene had just been released from prison, and John didn’t want this incident to affect her mood. After exchanging a glance with Selene, he decided not to dwell on it further.
Mrs. Wilkinson warmly grabbed Selene’s hand with a smile. “Sarah, you’ve lost weight again. When we get home, I’ll make you something delicious to nourish you.”
Mr. Wilkinson chuckled. “Daughter, you’re home now. From today on, you are Sarah, my daughter, and you can start a new life.”
Selene’s cold heart was melted by her family. She hugged Mrs. Wilkinson and Mr. Wilkinson proactively. “Mom, Dad, thank you for everything.”
This hug deeply moved the Wilkinsons. They were immensely gratified that their daughter had truly accepted them at that moment. However, this did not mean they had repaid their debt to her; their neglect back then had caused her too much suffering.
Selene then hugged John. “John, thank you.”
Meeting John had given her a real chance to start over; otherwise, how could she have restarted her miserable life?
John smiled and said, “It should be me thanking you. If I hadn’t found you, I would have blamed myself for a lifetime.”
Thinking about how he had tortured Selene with electric shocks when they first met made John feel guilty.
Selene hugged everyone. When she looked around and didn’t see Harvey, she felt a pang of disappointment. He hadn’t come.
John noticed the look in Selene’s eyes and said, “Why don’t we wait a bit? It’s rush hour; maybe he’s stuck in traffic.”
Selene shook her head. Her parents and John had arrived early; if Harvey really cared, how could he be late? Maybe it wasn’t lateness but his answer.
Selene wasn’t the type to cling to things forever; she also hid her emotions well. “Mom, Dad, John, let’s go.”
The Wilkinsons exchanged glances; they sensed their daughter’s displeasure was related to Harvey.
Mr. Wilkinson said, “Sarah, you and your mom get in the car first.”
As Selene and Mrs. Wilkinson opened the car door and got in, Mr. Wilkinson quietly asked John, “Call Harvey. How could he be so unreliable? He said he’d come to pick up Sarah-what does he mean by this?”
In the past few days, Mr. Wilkinson had investigated Harvey thoroughly overnight and found out that all the women rumored to be involved with him were just that-rumors. Harvey hadn’t actually been involved with any of them.
Being in the business world himself, Mr. Wilkinson understood that young people sometimes needed to play along with social games as long as Harvey remained loyal to Selene in the future.
But such an important matter-Harvey dropping the ball-how could Mr. Wilkinson be happy about it?
John said, “Calling him would seem too eager. Is our daughter from the Wilkinson family not good enough for anyone?”
John was also quite displeased.
Mr. Wilkinson agreed it made sense: “We’ll look for another match for Sarah at the homecoming banquet.”
“Alright Dad, let’s get in the car; it’s hot out here. Let’s take Sarah home for dinner first.”
“Okay.”
They both got into the car as well.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Selene collected her thoughts but kept glancing at the road expectantly for that familiar figure to appear.
Just as the car started moving, a black sedan sped towards them and stopped a few meters away from John’s car.
John hit the brakes while Selene looked nervously yet hopefully at the black sedan-could it be him?
The black sedan stopped, and someone got out of the car. When Selene saw who it was, her eyes flickered!
