<h4>Chapter 251: Chapter 251: How Could He Do It?</h4>


    Selene Wilson’s words were directed at Soren Johnson, but in reality, she was secretly observing Alexander Johnson.


    Given Alexander’s level of care and attention toward Chloe Simpson, Selene simply couldn’t believe that he would remain indifferent to these remarks.


    As long as she could provoke Alexander, everything else would be easier to handle.


    "Miss Wilson, you don’t need to worry about that question. I absolutely won’t continue entangling myself with Young Mister Johnson."


    Chloe was quick to promise the moment Selene finished speaking.


    "Ha, Miss Simpson, to be honest, I don’t..."


    Selene didn’t entirely believe Chloe’s assurance. Just as she was about to respond, her phone rang.


    "Grandpa Johnson, I’ll step out to take this call."


    She pulled out her phone and saw that it was a call from her brother, Oscar Wilson. After a brief pause, she said to Soren Johnson and stepped out to answer the call.


    Her brother Oscar rarely called her. It must be something important.


    Indeed, the moment she answered the call, Selene felt her blood boiling.


    "Selene, what have you been up to back home? That trending topic in Kyohai this morning—Dad and Grandpa saw it, and so did I. But just now, Grandpa received another phone call."


    "Now he’s in the study, raging at Dad. I overheard a few sentences. He’s saying things like, you’ve lost your mind, you desperately want to break off the engagement with the Johnson Family, and that doing so is sheer recklessness. If you really offend the Johnson Family, then the Wilsons can forget about returning to the country anytime in this lifetime."


    Hearing Oscar’s words, Selene clutched her phone so tightly her knuckles turned white.


    "Alright, I understand, Oscar. Don’t worry, I’ll call Grandpa myself in a bit to apologize and admit my mistake."


    After hanging up, Selene took a deep breath and prepared to call Grandpa.


    Before she could dial his number, Cassius Wilson’s call came through.


    She quickly answered, "Hello, Grandpa."


    "Have you grown tired of living?! Huh?! You dare stir up trouble right under the Johnson Family’s nose? Do you know the entire city of Kyohai is their territory? There is nothing they can’t uncover."


    "Are you trying to bring ruin to the entire Wilson Family? Let me warn you, you better clean up this mess immediately! I don’t care how you do it—no matter what, you have to maintain the engagement between the Johnsons and the Wilsons. If the engagement falls through, you know the consequences. He won’t survive either!"


    Cassius roared furiously from the other end of the call.


    "Alright, I understand, Grandpa. Rest assured, I’ll never do anything like this again. Don’t worry—for Alexander, even if he has just one woman outside, or ten women, or even hundreds, I will obediently marry him."


    Selene forced a bitter smile, her eyes reddened as she nodded silently.


    "Selene, don’t you understand Grandpa’s intentions even now? If Alexander actually had so many women, would Grandpa still let you marry him?"


    "As for this woman with thest name Simpson, Grandpa already knew about her before your marriage alliance was even arranged. She’s no threat to you. She’s just someone without status, without background—just a passing dalliance for Johnson’s young heir, nothing more."


    "Besides, child, listen to Grandpa—you won’t be wrong. Men are always like this; there’s no exception. Cheating is a given; it’s only a question of whether they get caught. What matters in this life is whether you can hold onto money and power firmly in your hands."


    "Look around—there really isn’t a family better than the Johnsons. Grandpa knows you’re brilliant and ambitious. Marrying into the Johnson Family will give you every opportunity to pursue your ambitions. Think about it: do you only want the Wilson Family, or do you want the Johnson and Wilson families together?"


    Cassius Wilson spoke at length, trying to persuade Selene.


    Selene, however, simply listened nkly before nodding quietly, "I understand, Grandpa. Rest assured, I’ll never do it again."


    After ending the call, tears welled up uncontrobly in her eyes, spilling down as she could no longer hold them back.


    Ha, all because she was the Wilson Family’s only youngdy.


    So she deserved to sacrifice herself for the Wilson Family, is that it?


    Everyone said they wanted the best for her, the best for her. But no one in the Wilson Family, from her childhood to now, had ever truly cared about what she wanted.


    How she could feel truly happy!


    No, she refused to ept this fate!


    She would fight tooth and nail for what she truly wanted!


    Selene wiped the tears off her face and returned with an entirely new attitude.


    "Grandpa Johnson, I’m so sorry for my immaturity earlier—it must have been a disappointment to you. I’m still young, please don’t take it to heart. Grandpa just called to reprimand me, and I confess—about Miss Simpson, I indeed had a part in instigating matters."


    "I acted impulsively, simply because I couldn’t swallow this grievance. As the only youngdy of the Wilson Family, I grew up pampered. I’ve never, ever been treated this way, and to see Alexander involved with another woman—it enraged me, and I acted foolishly."


    "I apologize deeply. I promise I’ll never repeat such mistakes again. As for the engagement, it will proceed exactly as originally nned. Marriage will happen as it should. I only hope that after marriage, Alexander, as my husband, will no longer behave this way. As for Miss Simpson, let her leave. Grandpa, I wish to put this matter to rest and move forward."


    Selene willingly lowered her head, apologized, and confessed to everything.


    Her words stunned Gabrie Dyer, Alexander Johnson, and Chloe Simpson alike.


    "Alright, Selene, since you’ve said all this, I won’t look further into matters. Miss Simpson can leave, but Alexander, I need your guarantee that starting today, you sever ties with Miss Simpsonpletely."


    Soren Johnson nodded as he looked toward Alexander, passing the responsibility back to him.


    "!"


    Alexander’s heart lurched violently after hearing this.


    Selene had revealed everything and handled things so magnanimously—it waspletely unexpected. But now, Grandpa’s meaning was clear: if he agreed, Chloe would leave.


    If he didn’t agree, Chloe could not leave.


    To sever ties with Chloepletely—how could he possibly manage that?
