After speaking, the servant promptly left the suite, standing guard outside.
Selena smirked, her eyes hardening with a cold glint.
She stayed in the room for a while, eventually deciding to get up and leave. But as she stood, a wave of dizziness hit her out of nowhere. Frowning, Selena called out, "Come here!"
The servant appeared but kept her distance. "Mrs. Fletcher, what do you need?"
"I don't feel right. Go get the family doctor."
The servant's eyes flickered with something unreadable before she replied, "Of course, I'll fetch him right away."
She turned and hurried off.
Selena sat at the edge of the bed, focusing on regaining her composure. She slowly made her way to the balcony, opened the doors, and breathed in the fresh air. Instantly, she felt better. That patch definitely had something off about it!
"Miss Selena," a hushed voice called out.
Startled, Selena turned to see Braden standing at the windowsill of the adjacent room, blending into the shadows of the night.
Surprised, she whispered, "How did you get up there?"
Braden ignored the question. In one swift motion, he leapt onto her balcony, pulling a small vial from his pocket and handing it to her. The vial looked familiar-she'd used it before.
Taking it from him, Selena inhaled deeply, and within moments, the weakness and dizziness faded away.
"This is a lifesaver," she muttered, handing the vial back.
Braden didn't take it. "Keep it. You seem to need it more. You're always in some kind of trouble."
Selena blinked at him.
Was he seriously implying she was high maintenance?
Fine, she'd remember this!
She made a mental note to complain to Lucas later.
Just then, the lights in the room flickered and suddenly went out, plunging the room into darkness, as if there had been a power outage.
Selena's eyes flashed with realization, and she let out a cold laugh. "Looks like their plan is finally in motion."
Braden quickly disappeared behind the curtains, blending into the shadows.
Selena, on the other hand, calmly returned to the bed.
Moments later, the sound of the door opening broke the silence, and it was clear two people had entered the room. One of them moved unsteadily, their footsteps heavy and clumsy.
The bed shifted slightly as someone approached, and Selena squinted in the darkness, seeing a guard reach out to check on her.
She held her breath, resisting the urge to move.
Thankfully, the guard was only confirming if she was truly unconscious. After a moment, he turned and left, locking the door behind him.
"Ugh..."
A low, labored groan came from beside her. Selena quickly sat up, grabbed her phone, and used the light to illuminate the face of the man next to her-it was Ernest!
So, this was Lila's plan all along-she had set up Ernest as the target.
Now that everything was clear, Selena's expression turned cold.
She turned to Braden and asked, "Can you bring Lila here?"
Braden simply nodded. "Yes."
"Then go ahead," Selena replied. "They've set the stage-now let's give them a show."
Downstairs, Nathalie glanced at the clock, pretending to be casual as she remarked, "Selena has been gone for quite some time. Could it be more serious than we thought?"
IMS
A familiar socialite immediately chimed in, "Should we go check on her together? If it's really bad, we should take her to the hospital."
After a moment of thought, Nathalie
nodded. That might be best. Aaron
is very fond of her, and I wouldn't want something bad to happen under my watch. He'd be furious."
A group of wealthy ladies and young socialites followed Nathalie upstairs. When they reached the room, however, they found the door wouldn't open.
Her tone was filled with feigned helplessness.
