âSelina, please help me! Get me out of here! This place is unbearable!â
Eleanor pleaded, her voice laden with desperation
Selinaâs brows furrowed as she swiftly withdrew her hand, retrieving a tissue to wipe away any lingering contact.
âCalm down.
Take a seat first.
â
Eleanor obediently settled into a chair, her eyes fixated on Selina, clinging to her as her Last lifeline.
âTell me, what happened? Did you truly kill that director?â Selina inquired, her tone Laced with suspicion.
Eleanor averted her gaze, unable to meet Selinaâs penetrating stare.
âNo, it was all my assistantâs idea.
I was under her spell too.
â
Selinaâs response dripped with derision.
âOh, please, Eleanor.
Are you trying to act innocent? Since when does an assistant boss around her employer?â
Eleanor remained silent, her expression pale and troubled.
Observing her demeanor, Selina cautiously broached the subject.
âWhy did you murder that director? Was it because he knew your secret?â
Eleanorâs gaze lifted.
âSelina, thatâs not the main issue here.
I implore you, please help me.
â
Leaning back in her chair, Selina let out a sigh.
âYouâve become a murderer now.
How can I possibly assist you?â
âGo to Brian and plead on my behalf! You were his first love.
If you ask him to help me, he will surely agree!â
âWhy on earth should I go to Brian and plead on your behalf?â Selina questioned.
âWeâre family, Selina.
Weâre cousins,â Eleanor responded anxiously.
Selina replied sarcastically, âIn this world, everyone looks out for themselves, Eleanor.
Blood ties? They mean next to nothing.
Why would I lift a finger for you?â

Eleanor retorted, âIs it fear that stops you, Selina? Brianâs heart belongs to Rosalynn now.
Your opinions hold no weight to him.
Are you scared of feeling ashamed?â
âHey!â Selina shot back, her face altering with anger.
âEleanor, your attempts to rile me up wonât work.
If youâre guilty of murder, you deserve the punishment.
Just sit here and await your fate.
Since we are relatives, Iâll at least ensure your suffering is minimized before your sentence,â
Eleanorâs heart raced as she saw Selina about to exit.
âSelina, will you help me or not? If you wonât, IâLL expose Rosalynnâs lineage.
Then you wonât stand a chance against her!â
This made Selina halt in her tracks, spinning around to face Eleanor.
âAre you threatening me?â
