Her eyes blazed with fury, but Eleanor remained unfazed.

“Selina, this isn't a threat. I'm desperate to escape this helLhole."

Selina studied Eleanor and sneered, “Eleanor, your assumption that Rosalynn is a Moreno is merely a guess. There's no proof. Who'd believe such baseless claims?"

Eleanor smiled.

"Then let's put it to the test. Let's see if people believe it or not. Can you handle the fallout, Selina?"

Of course she couldn't.

If Rosalynn indeed possessed the Moreno family's jade pendant, she could very well be their long-lost child.

Selina could not allow the Moreno family to uncover this secret.

Moreover, she couldn't afford to let Rosalynn return to the Moreno family and claim all that she had painstakingly acquired.

Struggling to keep her rage in check, Selina replied calmly, “Eleanor, don't do anything reckless. I'll attempt to convince Brian to find a way to get you out of this."

Eleanor's face lit up with hope.

“In that case, I‘11 wait for your good news."

Selina offered a nod before probing, "Eleanor, let's be honest. Was the baby you lost Brian's?"

If it was true, she could leverage it as a negotiation tool.

Eleanor looked away, revealing the truth.

"No, it was John's child. To evade further complications, I ended John's life and framed Valeria."

This took Selina by surprise. Mockingly, she said, “Quite the mastermind you are. But if the child wasn't Brian's, I doubt he'd come to your rescue.”

Eleanor stayed quiet momentarily before admitting, “Brian is unaware of this. If he knew I had deceived him, he'd have tarnished my name a long time ago."

Her justification seemed plausible.

Hadn't Rosalynn disclosed the truth to Brian?

But why?

Selina was deep in thought.
