Deanna blinked, thinking her mother was being rather unfair. But with Noemi still simmering, it was
wiser to avoid any disagreements, so she agreed without protest.
Meanwhile, Selina managed to catch up with Brian. “Brian, hold up.”
Brian halted in his tracks and asked, “What do you need?”
His expression remained unreadable. Selina bit her lip as she regarded his striking features.
“Brian, have you been distant with me Lately?”
With a blank expression, Brian retorted, “I’m a married man. Isn’t it appropriate to maintain some
distance with a female friend?”
“But are we just friends? Are you planning to shun all women at work or in your daily Life?” Selina

Brian cast a quick glance at her before stating, “That’s my business, Selina. You don‘t have to pay heed
to my mother’s words. The affairs of the Hughes and Cruz families aren’t your concern. You should
focus on your own matters.”
With that, he started walking toward the elevator.
Selina’s chest heaved as she trailed after him.
“You’re acting this way because you’re worried Rosalynn will get jealous, aren’t you? Why do you care
so much about her? Meanwhile, she spent the night with another man behind your back. Do you
genuinely believe nothing happened between them? Brian, is your affection for her so deep that you’ve
forsaken your principles?”
Brian halted in his tracks, his face abruptly hardened.
“Enough! She’s my wife, and I trust her integrity.”
A clenched fist betrayed Selina‘s frustration as she said, “Brian, you’ve become a stranger to me. You
used to be aloof, yet your sense of justice was evident. You showed affection and friendship towards
those around you. What about now? Just how indifferent have you become, all because of Rosalynn?
Your fear of her jealousy has led you to sever all ties with the women in your life. It’s made you neglect
Eleanor, who was pregnant with your child. Brian, be honest. Eleanor is currently in custody. Are you
going to get her out?”
With a face as stern as a winter’s evening, Brian took his time before finally responding with an icy
detachment.
“Eleanor crossed the Line of the Law. I can’t and won’t meddle with the justice system. The Law must

So, he had no intentions of stepping in for Eleanor?
Despite Selina’s earnest appeal, his indifference remained rock solid.
Frustration bubbled within Selina. “Is it because you’re truly unable or merely unwilling? Eleanor was
once pregnant with your child. Can’t you step up for her?”
“No, I can’t,” Brian said. “Even if she wore a crown, she must face the consequences of her actions.”
Shocked by his coldness, Selina shot back, “How could you be so heartless, Brian? Do you realize how
many people you’ll Let down by not helping her?”
