Chapter: 1261
Deanna blinked, thinking her mother was being rather unfair. But with Noemi still simmering, it was wiser to avoid anydisagreements, so she agreed without protest.
Meanwhile, Selina managed to catch up with Brian. “Brian, hold up.”
Brian halted in his tracks and asked, “What do you need?”
His expression remained unreadable. Selina bit her lip as she regarded his striking features.
“Brian, have you been distant with me Lately?”
With a blank expression, Brian retorted, “I’m a married man. Isn’t it appropriate to maintain some distance with a female friend?”“But are we just friends? Are you planning to shun all women at work or in your daily Life?” Selina asked.
Brian cast a quick glance at her before stating, “That's my business, Selina. You don't have to pay heed to my mother’s words.The affairs of the Hughes and Cruz families aren’t your concern. You should focus on your own matters.”
With that, he started walking toward the elevator.Selina’s chest heaved as she trailed after him.
“You're acting this way because you're worried Rosalynn will get jealous, aren’t you? Why do you care so much about her?Meanwhile, she spent the night with another man behind your back. Do you genuinely believe nothing happened between them?Brian, is your affection for her so deep that you've forsaken your principles?”
Brian halted in his tracks, his face abruptly hardened.“Enough! She’s my wife, and | trust her integrity.”
Aclenched fist betrayed Selina‘s frustration as she said, “Brian, you’ve become a stranger to me. You used to be aloof, yet yoursense of justice was evident. You showed affection and friendship towards those around you. What about now? Just howindifferent have you become, all because of Rosalynn?
Your fear of her jealousy has led you to sever all ties with the women in your life. It's made you neglect Eleanor, who waspregnant with your child. Brian, be honest. Eleanor is currently in custody. Are you going to get her out?”
With a face as stern as a winter’s evening, Brian took his time before finally responding with an icy detachment.
“Eleanor crossed the Line of the Law. | can’t and won’t meddle with the justice system. The Law must preside.”
So, he had no intentions of stepping in for Eleanor?Despite Selina’s earnest appeal, his indifference remained rock solid.
Frustration bubbled within Selina. “Is it because you're truly unable or merely unwilling? Eleanor was once pregnant with yourchild. Can’t you step up for her?”
“No, | can’t,” Brian said. “Even if she wore a crown, she must face the consequences of her actions.”
Shocked by his coldness, Selina shot back, “How could you be so heartless, Brian? Do you realize how many people you'll Letdown by not helping her?”novelbin
