Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698: There is no need to dirty your hands.

Selene’s face darkened when, even after several seconds, she didn’t hear the man speaking. Losing her patience, she roared. "You called me to report, not to act deaf and dumb. Speak!"

"I-It’s Aiden Winslow," the man hesitated, but then reported what he had discovered.

Selene’s knees at once gave way. She staggered a step back, hitting the edge of the bed with the back of her legs. "What did you say?" Her voice shook, disbelief written across her features.

Aiden.

No, he wouldn’t do that to her. He could be cruel to her. He treated her better than he treated anyone else. How could he ...?

The man cleared his throat as though afraid of her reaction. "Yes, young miss. It was President Winslow. He made the brand remove you."

"No," Selene shook her head violently, refusing to accept it. Her heart thundered in her chest, a suffocating pressure spreading through her lungs. "No, he won’t do that. Did you look into it properly?"

"Yes, young miss. I have looked into it properly. He —"

"Shut up!" She snapped sharply. "You know nothing. You are useless."

She hurled her phone onto the floor hard, shattering it into pieces. "Arhhhh!" the scream tore out of her throat, filled with hatred.

"Why? Why, Aiden?" She slumped onto the bed, clutching the sheets between her fingers until the threads nearly tore apart. "Why would you do that to me?"

"Ms. Selene, what happened?" Carla asked cautiously. "What did Mr. Winslow do?"

Selene’s eyes burned as she stared at the empty distance ahead, fury and despair swirling together. Her nails dug so deep into the fabric that her knuckles turned white. "He did that for Arwen. He did that for her. Arhhh!" She grabbed the pillow and flung it across the room, imagining it was Arwen’s face.

"I will make her disappear from the face of this world." She almost said it as a vow, her determination strong in her eyes.

Only if Arwen disappeared would Aiden give up his obsession with her.

Selene rose to her feet, her breathing uneven, but her eyes sharp as blades. She paced the room, muttering to herself. "If she vanishes, Aiden will have no one else to turn to ... he will see me again. He has to."

Carla’s face paled, alarm flashing in her eyes. "Miss ... what are you planning to do?"

Selene didn’t respond as if she hadn’t heard her. The old nanny quickly stepped closer and urged. "Please don’t do anything rash. Although that woman is nowhere comparable to you, both Old Master Winslow and Young Master Winslow adore her. They wouldn’t forgive any attempt against her lightly."

"Are you trying to scare me, Carla?" Selene asked coldly, her gaze carrying a clear threat.

Carla immediately shook her head. "No, Ms. Selene. How can I ever dare? I am only reminding you —why step into danger when you can win the game with a simple trick?"

Selene’s brows drew together. She narrowed her eyes at the woman. "What do you mean?"

Carla exhaled, sensing a silver of relief that Selene was listening. "Miss, you don’t need to dirty your hands with anything that could backfire. Didn’t that woman say she would step away if you could prove you were the one Mr. Winslow always loved? Then why not prove it to her?"

Yes, that should explain it all. She thought to herself. Otherwise, Aiden would treat her so cruelly.
