Selina admitted, her voice tinged with bitterness.

Kyson's response was earnest.

"Those reporters can be such a nuisance.

Don't let them get to you."

She nodded in agreement.

Their conversation paused as a car pulled up to the hotel, and a man and a woman stepped out.

Selina's expression shifted as she recognized them.

They were Aldrich and Jenifer.

Her heart sank at the sight. Here they were, too!

Selina's gaze hardened at Aldrich, her hand balling into a fist.

The audacity of Aldrich, who had feigned intentions of marriage only to secretly choose a fiancée!

Was she now beneath him in his eyes?

To Selina, it seemed men placed their pride and wealth above love, always chasing after the allure of status and riches.

In that moment, Selina's thoughts turned to Brian.

Ultimately, he was different from the others.

He wouldn't let advantage dictate his choice of a partner.

His heart alone guided his decisions.

His affections were reserved for the one he truly admired.

Not even the allure of a president's daughter could sway him.

Had she not relinquished her hold on him, she'd be the envy of all as his spouse!
