Chapter 468

Did he promise to marry her?

Selah was taken aback.

What was he thinking? How could he marry a former maid? Would his mother ever agree to such a thing? After all these years, was he still trying to deceive her with empty promises?

“Arturo, enough with your empty promises.

I’m not the same person I once was.

Your words only make me despise you more.

”

Selah rose from the shoe stool, no longer wishing to linger.

Just as Arturo was about to continue, a knock on the door interrupted him.

Who could it be, knocking at such a late hour?

Realizing something, Arturo quickly ushered Selah behind him.

He whispered to her, “Go inside and close the door.

”

Glancing at the door and then at Arturo, Selah offered a nonchalant node.

Afterward, she spun around, strolled into the bedroom, and gently shut the door.

With Selah out of sight, Arturo opened the front door.

Standing there was Arturo’s mother, Miranda Yates, flanked by two bodyguards dressed in black.

Her expression was stern, and a prominent scar marred her left face.

Stretching from the base of her ear to her cheek, distorting her once elegant features into something fearsome and intimidating.

“Arturo, I have heard you are in Morcastle looking for a woman.

Is it true?”

Arturo’s face briefly showed surprise, but he quickly concealed it.

“Mom, why are you here?” He asked, his lips tight as he glanced at the bodyguards behind her.

“You wait outside.

” Miranda directed her words to the two bodyguards standing behind her.

The two men nodded obediently, “Yes, madam.

”

Once the bodyguards left, Miranda entered the room and gracefully seated herself on the living room sofa.

Arturo glanced towards the bedroom where Selah had disappeared, then settled into the single sofa.

“If I hadn’t come, who knows what mess you would’ve created here in Morcastle.

” Miranda wore opulent silk attire.

Even in Arturo’s presence, she kept her hands neatly folded on her knees and maintained an upright posture.

Her appearance and demeanor indicated her noble Lineage.

“Mom, do not believe everything you hear.

I’ve already explained I came to Morcastle for a business collaboration with Domenic.

Our family’s prospects in Blosa are limited, and I’m doing this for the sake of…”

“That’s enough!” Miranda cut him off sharply, her glare piercing.

“Do you think I’d fall for that? Are you here in Morcastle because of that bitch Selah Potter?”

A touch of irritation crossed Arturo’s handsome features.

“Mom, please maintain the dignity befitting the head of the Yates family.
