Chapter 2084
Night of Destiny
Josephine had consumed a few glasses of wine, so her face was tinted red. There was even a glassy
look in her eyes as she said to Ethan, âYou should go back to your seat and eat something.â
Ethanâs gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds. He then reminded her, âDonât drink too much.â
Josephineâs face reddened even more. Why did she feel like he was speaking as if he were caring for
her as a boyfriend?
At the banquet, Olivia kept making phone calls to Selena, but her daughter wasnât picking up. She
couldnât help but complain to her husband, saying, âWhatâs wrong with Lena? Sheâs not picking up my
calls, and she disappeared just like that.â
Connor shook his head as he replied, âHow would I know?â All of a sudden, Josephine felt it was
necessary to inform them of the truth; Selena was probably too ashamed to tell them.
âMrs. Aguirre, could you come out with me for a moment? Iâll tell you what happened to your daughter,
Josephine said to Olivia. Olivia stood up, half doubtful as she asked, âDo you know whatâs going on?â
âYes, I do.â Josephine nodded. Olivia followed Josephine to the lawn outside. She even looked a little
impatient as she said, âWhat exactly do you want to say to me?â
âMrs. Aguirre, your daughter has done something vile,â Josephine said, turning around. Oliviaâs
expression shifted as she retorted in anger, âMy daughter is innocent. Sheâd never do anything wrong,
so donât slander my daughter like that.â
âLet me tell you, then. Your daughter didnât leave of her own accord-she was chased off this island by
the Presgraves because she leaked photos of the wedding to a media company. She even accused me
of doing it,â Josephine said calmly.
âNonsense! What evidence do you have that my daughter framed you? Iâll sue you!â Olivia immediately
threatened. Josephine pulled up the recording of her conversation with Selena and played it for Olivia.
When Olivia heard it, she panicked. The voice in the recording did belong to her daughter. Selena was
trembling as she pleaded, so it was obvious that she was the real culprit and had begged Josephine for
mercy.
âWell, do you believe me now? Your daughter is a relative of the bride, but she did such a horrible
thing. Thatâs very unethical of her.â Josephine felt injustice on the brideâs behalf as well.
Olivia was panicking now, and she was embarrassed as she asked, âDid they really chase my daughter
out?â âYes, Mr. Presgrave himself gave the orders to chase her out,â Josephine said.
âThat girl, how could she do such a thing? Iâll teach her a lesson when I go back.â Olivia immediately
pretended to complain about her daughter to get out of the situation. Then, she said to Josephine,
âMiss Jacobson, Iâd like to apologize to you on my daughterâs behalf.â
âIt seemed like you and your husband werenât aware of anything, so I just wanted to inform you guys
about it.â With that, Josephine turned around and went into the banquet hall.
When Olivia returned, she had an uneasy expression on her face. Everyone had more or less eaten
their fill, so Olivia tugged at her husbandâs sleeve, signaling that they should leave.
Connor had a little too much to drink as well, for the wine here was the most fragrant he had ever
tasted. Olivia helped him up and went out, then got a driver to drive them back to the villa. As soon as
they returned, Connor lay on the couch and fell asleep.
Olivia angrily grabbed her phone and dialed her daughterâs number. At that moment, after the hour-
long flight on the helicopter, Selena had just arrived at the pier. When she heard her phone ringing, she
reached out and answered the call. âMom?â
âLook at what youâve done, you brat! Why did you leak photos of the wedding? Our reputation is ruined
because of you,â scolded Olivia. Selena thought she could keep this a secret forever. She said guiltily,
âWho told you, Mom?â
âWho else? Josephine, of course! Why did you frame her? Do you have a grudge against her or
something?!â
âMom, I just arrived at the pier. Iâm going back first.â Selena didnât want to say anything more. After all,
she would never be involved with the Presgraves again for the rest of her life.
Olivia finally came to her senses and regretted the way she raised her daughter. Now, Selena was all
grown up, but all she ever learned was to cause trouble. She was hopeless.
