the Harvey family, Selina didn't turn away

Instead, she watched the heartwarming scene of Sara and Patrick together.

"Well, such a sight wouldn't last much longer. They should enjoy their affection while they still could, she thought. "What a picture-perfect scene. Selina, if you had to name this masterpiece, what would you call it?" Lydia asked. "Obedient Son and Wheelchair Mom" Selina replied.

"Oh my gosh, are you writing a novel That sounds like one of those cheesy old web novels I used to read, Haha! My stomach hurts from laughing!" Lydia commented.

Patrick was worried that Sara might get provoked if they continued being ridiculed by Selina and Lydia. He glared at Selina before pushing the wheelchair to leave, but Sara stopped him.

Seeing the concern in his eyes, Selina smiled reassuringly at him. "Don't worry, Patrick. After everything we've been through this past year, I'm much stronger now. Besides, I know I wronged Selina. No matter how harsh she is toward me now, I can understand it." "Mom... You don't have to do that. Selina won't exist without you. Even if things have fallen apart, she shouldn't be speaking to you like this, Patrick insisted.

"Patrick, you don't understand. As Selina's biological mother, I never trusted her after I found her. I constantly wronged and misunderstood her while doting on Ashley. I discarded her like she was nothing. Your father and I have talked at length, and I've realized the deep mistakes we made as parents. I can't hide from my responsibility just because Im her mother... No, precisely because I'm her mother, my actions are unforgivable. I must face this responsibility head-on. Please, take me to her! Sara replied.

Patrick fell silent. Reluctantly, under Sara's insistent gaze, Patrick pushed her wheelchair closer to Selina.

With his help. Sara stood up wobbly.

Selina spoke coldly. "You should stay seated. I think we've said everything that needs to be said. If anything happens to you, the Harvey family will blame me again. I don't need that trouble"

*Selina, must you be so harsh! She's yo

your biological mom, after all!" Patrick scolded.

If it weren't for the fact that Selina had saved both Sara and him before, Patrick wouldn't have tolerated her arroganc

"Are you out of your mind? Do I have anything to do with the Harvey family? Stop pretending that we're related. It's disgusting!" Selina fumed.

"You!" p

Patrick seethed.

"That's enough, Patrick. Stop it" Sara's words silenced him. She looked at Selina deeply before bowed low before the latter. I'm sorry, Selina. As a mother, I've failed you. I know these words come far too late, but I need to apologize directly in front of you." She repeated her apology several times in her heart, each time feeling a pang of sadness but also a strange sense of relief.

"Mom. Patrick tried to help Sara up, but the latter firmly refused his assistance.

Lydia didn't know what to say when she saw the scene. She could only watch as Selina responded.

"Isn't it too late to do this in front of me now? Mrs. Harvey, I'll never forgive what your family has done to me in my life!" Selina's tone was far more calmer than what she had expected.

There was no fiery rage in her words, nor was there any sign of forgiveness despite Sara's sincere apology. In short, her resolve remained unchanged

"I know it's too late. You're right not to forgive me, Selina, but I still have to say sorry. Think of it as my selfish attempt to lessen my guilt. The doors of the Harvey residence will always be open for you. Just tell us whenever you want to come back. This time, I promise you'll see our changes. We won't be so cruel to you again," Sara said.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Mrs. Harvey, do I look like a fool who would fall for the same trick twice? Spare me your empty words. Once is enough; I won't be duped again. Let's go, Lydia. Then, Selina pulled Lydia alone and left.

Patrick sighed. "Mom, why do you keep doing this! After everything the Harvey family Sara simply patted Patrick on the back of his hand in response and didn't answer further.

such a claim.

As Lydia followed Sehna, she couldn't help asking. "Selina, you're not getting softhearted about it. Are you?" She could tell Sara truly realized her mistakes. Blood was thicker than water, and thinking about what Selina was planning to do next, Lydia feared the latter might waver.

"I won't" Selina said resolutely. Nothing and no one could change what she was about to do.

The next day, at a secluded coffee house in the countryside, Ashley, having shaken off any tails, arrived in disguise. She entered a private room that Soba had prepared in advance.

Inside, Sofia and a Clusian man were waiting for her.

Sofia beamed with excitement when she saw Ashley's arrival and immediately said to the man beside her, "Martin, my daughter is here."

"You must be Ashley. It's a pleasure meeting you. I'm Martin Lester, Sofia's husband. Since you're her daughter, you're my daughter too, Martin said extending his hand toward Ashley.

With his gold-rimmed glasses, slicked-back hair, and a blue suit, he looked every bit the gentleman.

But the gleam in his eyes made Ashley feel a little uneasy. She instinctively felt that, in some ways, he was the same kind of

as her.

"All right, let's chat over some coffee. This coffee house belongs to Martin, and the staff here have all been carefully selected. You don't need to worry about discussing anything here, Ashley, Sofia said.

"Let's not waste any time. You're Martin, right? I want to know what you hope to gain by trying to extract information from me to use against Harvey Group. You said you could do it in one go. What's your plan to stand against them?" Ashley went straight to the point.

*Sofia, she's just like you straight to the point. I like that." Martin said. He crossed his arms and smiled meaningfully. "Have you heard of Lucky Group?"

"Lucky Ashley's brows furrowed slightly. She had heard of the group before, but the company was not well-known in Clusia yet. She had heard of it from the conversation between Quinton and the others before.

Harvey Group often encountered obstacles from Lucky Group during their overseas expansion. They were in the same industry doing the same thing, so their targets were also the same.

Even when Patrick was overseeing the company in Yondora, he had also encountered Lucky Group.

But they couldn't match Patrick's prowess, and many projects they aimed for were snatched away by him, which made Lucky Group suffer gr losses in Yondora.

In any case, Lucky Group remained a significant threat to Harvey Group's business expansions globally. It was something that Quinton and the others were concerned about
