Chapter 245
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
âWhat difference would it make if you knew?â Selah responded, her voice cold and distant, without turning to face him.
âLetâs not forget, if it werenât for you, my life wouldnât be this way.
Youâre the one who ruined it.
â
As Selah withdrew her wrist, she turned her head away.
âArturo Yates, please donât provoke me.
I donât want to end up hating you.
â
Arturo was left standing, struck by her words, watching her walk away.
He remembered the time when he was a child, and his mother brought home a four-year-old Selah.
Selah, then a shy girl, peeked out from behind his mother.
Selah, becoming a maid in the Yates family household, had Looked after Arturo since she was young.
Her smile had been a warm and radiant beacon in his otherwise gloomy life.
But everything changed when Arturo was eighteen.
On his birthday that year, he got drunk with his friends.
When he returned home, he couldnât resist embracing Selah.
She was gentle and compliant, always yielding to him.
She allowed his caresses and ki*ses on her full, inviting lips as they ended up on the plush cashmere carpetâ¦
But before they could do anything more, they were bumped into by his mother, who had just come back.
That incident led to Selah being expelled from the Yates residence, and Arturo subsequently learned a secret about herâ¦
Selahâs life took a turn when she was scouted and soon rose to stardom in the entertainment industry.
Arturo, from the shadows, silently orchestrated everything for Selah.
He ensured she had a top-tier team and access to the best resources, meticulously overseeing every aspect of her career.
Until that fateful dayâ¦
In the banquet hall, Arturo found himself at the dining table, drinking several c@@ktails in quick succession.
His gaze wandered, searching for Selah amidst the crowd, until his attention was drawn to a couple dancing on the floor.

It was Lindsey and Sumner.
Lindsey, dressed in a vibrant pink dress, radiated energy and charm.
She had her arms around Sumnerâs shoulders, while he held her waist.
They moved together gracefully in the waltz, their dance drawing admiring glances.
Unconsciously, the two attracted everyoneâs attention.
Paige, deep in conversation with her friends, nodded in approval and kept complimenting Lindsey.
âIâm absolutely correct.
Lindsey and Sumner are perfectly suited for each other.
She will definitely become his wife.
Just you wait, the wedding will be something to see.
â
âYouâre absolutely right, Mrs.
Lopez.
Miss Stewart is both beautiful and wise; sheâs truly exceptional tonight.
â
As the ladies lavished praise, Paigeâs delight grew.
Her eyes shone with affection when she looked at Lindsey.
Arturo observed Lindsey with a critical eye.
He thought of her as a complex character.
With Domenic overseas, Lindsey seemed to quickly grow close to Paigeâs godson.
Arturo speculated that if Domenic didnât return soon, Lindsey might end up marrying another man.
