Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 676

Chapter 676: In reality, she was at the edge of losing it all.

Arwen’s brows rose slightly at the sharp pitch in Selene’s voice. If she hadn’t known better, she might have thought she had mistakenly worn something that didn’t belong to her. But here, she knew better.

"Ms. Martin, did you have a rough day today?" she asked coolly, her tone polite.

Selene only glared at her, her fingers curling tightly into fists at her sides. "I asked why you are wearing this necklace. This —"

"This is mine," Arwen cut her off before she could even finish. "Of course, ... if not me, who else would wear it?"

"Arwen, you —"

"Ms. Martin," Arwen interrupted again, her voice firm but even, "I think you should consider taking lessons in etiquette. Because I am getting tired of reminding you of the same thing over and over again. This can’t continue for long. Even my patience —though I have it —is limited. And in just few days, you have almost exhausted it all."

She descended the last few steps slowly, each measured movement closing the space between them. "Beware," she warned, her gaze steady, her expression sharp yet still faintly kind. "Don’t use it all up. Because if you do, you will lose even the silver chance you might still have of success."

Selene tried to read her but the smile on Arwen’s lips was too controlled, too deceptive. It didn’t allow Selene to understand her intention at all.

"Losing is fine," Arwen continued, "but at least leave yourself an escape so you don’t humiliate yourself completely when you lose. That’s just advice. Whether you take it or not ... that’s up to you."

They both stared into each other’s eyes for a moment before Arwen turned to gaze towards her car that was waiting for her, right a few steps away.

"Now, since you are back home, make yourself comfortable and rest. I have somewhere to be. So, ... excuse me."

With that, she offered a casual smile, turned, and walked away with unshakable composure.

Selene watched her, her nails dug so deeply into her palms that they almost broke her skin. But even so, it didn’t make her flinch.

Arwen felt the gaze burning inti her back, but she didn’t falter. Elegance was not about avoiding stares —it was about deciding which ones were worth acknowledging. And Selene’s? Not worth a breath.

She smiled warmly at Alfred, who stood holding the car door open for her. "Thank you, Alfred. You can close the door now."

He nodded, closing it gently before walking around to the driver’s seat. Moments later, the car glided away from the estate.

Selene remained rooted in place until it disappeared from her view. Then she stomped her foot, her voice low and venomous.
