Chapter 118 You won't be mad at me, right? After Fiona brought her the ice, Selena still felt pain and discomfort in the swollen area after applying it for an hour. Especially when she put on her high heels, it felt like being pricked by needles.

Sweat quickly formed on her forehead, but she forced herself to continue with her makeup.

Fiona couldn't help but feel sorry for her when she saw her like this.

"Miss Fair, shall I call Mr. Montague and let you go another day?" "No." The main purpose of this banquet was to lift Grandpa Fu's spirits. He has been so good to her, and she had missed his pick-up before. She absolutely couldn't afford to miss such an important occasion tonight. She persisted and finished her makeup, wearing the bracelet given by Grandpa Fu. Other than that, she had no other accessories on her.

But with her naturally fair skin and cold temperament, paired with a dress that highlighted her waist, she exuded a beautiful and pure aura, like a snow plum in winter. Coupled with the emerald bracelet on her wrist, she appeared even more translucent and untainted.

After getting ready, Selena didn't waste any tand got into the car. However, not long after the car started, she received a call from James, asking her to also visit the Fair family and bring Alice along.

Selena's forehead furrowed, "Dad, what is Alice doing? Isn't she feeling unwell?" "She is unwell, but she heard about this banquet and wanted to join in the fun. Mr. Montague Sr cares about you, and he won't mind if you bring someone else. Selena, she is your sister after all, and she has been in the hospital for all these years, missing out on grand events. I am busy, so let her go with you." Selena couldn't say she liked or disliked Alice, so she reluctantly agreed.

The car headed towards the Fair family, where Alice was already waiting in her evening gown. Because of her illness, she looked fragile, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Beatrice didn't argue with Selena tonight, probably realizing that she needed Selena's help to get Alice into such an occasion. She also wanted to go, but couldn't bring herself to ask Selena. If Alice could go, that would be good.

Maybe someone would like Alice's style, and she might even catch a wealthy husband. Everyone knew that the Fair family was struggling, and if Alice could find a better support, it would be better than staying and struggling with them. "Sister, I'm sorry. I was being too stubborn." Alice carefully held Selena's hand, "You're not mad at me, are you?" Selena's face showed no expression as she softly replied, "Let's get in the car first, or we'll be late." Alice nodded and gingerly sat in the car, holding her skirt. This car belonged to Mr. Montague Sr and it was the first tSelena had ridden in it.

It was a limited edition Bentley, and it wouldn't be appropriate to drive her own car to the old mansion. The banquet started promptly at 7:30, and the car slowly drove on the road.

Selena and Alice had nothing else to talk about, so Selena turned her head to look at the street. However, this glance made her furrow her brows.

A young man wearing ragged jeans caught her attention. He was standing on the side of the road, devouring a bun as if he had been starving for a long time. Selena had excellent eyesight and recognized him at a glance. It was her runaway cousin, Jacob Layman.

Jacob had disappeared for years, leaving behind his parents and wife m back home, without caring about anything. He even left behind a pile of debts and hadn't even made a phone call in these years.

Whenever her uncle and aunt mentioned this son, their eyes would turn red.

d. Selena didn't expect Jacob to show up in New York. "Stop the car." Selena shouted and stared intently at the person, afraid he would run away.

The driver quickly stopped, and Selena opened the car door and got e out, ignoring the pain in her ankle.

"Just wait for me." Leaving these words behind, she walked towards Jacob.
