Chapter 350 Go On

 Anneliese had just stepped into the elevator when the doors began to slide shut.

 At thest second, a hand slipped in, forcing them open again.

 She looked up and found herself staring at a face she could hardly stand.

 It was Selina.

 Seriously? Of all ces, does Grandma have to be in the same hospital as Mnie?

 Selina stepped into the elevator and noticed Anneliese didn’t nce her way. That sh of jealousy in her eyes was impossible to miss.

 Just minutes earlier, Selina had seen Jonathan at the hospital entrance, personally escorting Anneliese. They had been pulling at each other like a pair of lovesick teenagers, practically acting out a scene from some cheesy drama.

 “Anneliese, you really think you’ve won? Please. Do you honestly believe that just because you signed a marriage certificate, the Fullbusters will ept you and let you sitfortably as Mrs. Fullbuster?”

 Selina’s mocking voice echoed through the confined space. Unfortunately for her, Anneliese kept her head down, busy typing away on WhatsApp, with zero intention of responding.

 She was messaging her senior, asking about the flight back to Oceaton, and nning to pick them up

 if her schedule allowed.

 Selina’s temper spiked when she realized she was beingpletely ignored. She raised her hand and pped Anneliese’s phone out of her grip.

 The device hit the floor with a sharp smack.

 Before Selina could savor her little victory, another sharp crack rang out, and Anneliese had swung back, pping her across the face.

 After clutching her cheek with one hand, Selinashed out with the other, aiming for Anneliese.

 Anneliese caught her wrist mid–swing, her grip iron–tight. “Selina, you just can’t go a without asking for trouble, huh?”

 her lips into a smile. “Anne, don’t say I never warned you. I’ve heard that Jonathan’s been in love with someone else for years. His so–called first love. Do you really think he married you out of love?

 “You’ve got a tarnished reputation and a failed marriage behind you. For a man like him, marrying you was convenient. He always nned on making his first love Mrs. Fullbuster. That was never going to change.

 “He’s a man of duty and principles. Why drag a good, innocent woman into the mess of being his second wife? Easier to use you instead. Your reputation was already ruined, so whether it’s your second or third marriage doesn’t matter.

 “And the best part? With you constantly falling short of what the Fullbusters expect, once he reces you, that woman will shine like a wless pearl inparison. They’ll adore her all the more for it.

 “So go ahead, keep fooling yourself. You’re nothing but a pawn he used, and one day he’ll toss you aside. Honestly, the only person who doesn’t see it is you.”

 Selina’s eyes carried nothing but mockery. She had chased after Jonathan for years.

 She never managed to chip away at even the smallest corner of his icy heart, but that didn’t stop her from digging up bits and pieces about him.

 From what she’d learned, Jonathan had someone he couldn’t forget. And he kept every other woman at arm’s length because of that woman.

 And now Jonathan suddenly marries Anneliese. Something’s clearly off because there’s no way he does it out of love. I’m doing her a favor by pointing it out, and honestly, she ought to be thanking me for it.

 Selina waited for the flush of shame to creep over Anneliese’s expression, but it never came. From start to finish, Anneliese’s expression stayed perfectly calm, like nothing could touch her. The next second, Anneliese tore her hand free, grabbed Selina by the hair, and mmed her against the elevator wall. “Go on. Take a good look at that twisted, jealous self of yours before you spit out another word.”

 As she leaned into the cold metal, Selina glimpsed her reflection. Her features looked warped, eyes zing green with envy, lips drawn tight as if she could spit venom at any second. Behind her, Anneliese tilted her chin withzy arrogance, her striking features alight with scorn and superiority.

 Selina’s breath hitched when she noticed the faint marks on Anneliese’s pale neck–two unmistakable love bites.

 Rage clouded Selina’s vision, her world going dark at the edges. Anneliese finally let go, tugged a tissue from her bag to wipe her hand, picked up her phone, cleaned the screen, and walked out of the elevator without a backward nce.

 Once she was free of Selina’s sight, Anneliese violently shook her right hand. “Tch. D*mn.”

 That move was too sharp, and now my hands are cramping again out of habit. D*mn it, Jonathan. He’s already got his precious first love, yet he won’t quit messing with me. Figures, men are all the same, nothing but trouble. <fnda23> This update is avable on F?ndNovel</fnda23>

 Anneliese rubbed her sore arm, the frustration simmering in her chest.

 Inside the elevator, Selinashed out and kicked the wall hard. Right then, two family members of patients walked in. One of them muttered, “Crazy people should be at a mental hospital, not hanging around St. Nine’s.”

 Selina caught their whispers. The anger hit her so fast her nose almost twisted out of shape.

 By the time she pushed open Mnie’s door, all the fire had drained away, leaving her pale and shaken.

 The Whites froze when they saw her. Half her cheek was swollen red, and her eyes were rimmed with tears.

 Mnie slipped right out of bed. “Selina, what happened to you?”

 Selina shook her head. “Mom, I’m sorry. I ran into Anne in the elevator. I know you’ve been worried about her, so I tried to bring her to see you. I begged and begged, but she wouldn’t even look at me. I reached out to pull her along, and she just…”
