Chapter 14
Amelia stared at Anastasia for a long while, her mind racing as she struggled to find her voice.
“Yes, but she still can’t help but feel bad about calling you a ghost earlier. She was just so shocked and the word flew out of her mouth without any control. Please, if you don’t mind, can we talk in private?” Michelle requested from Anastasia.
Anastasia nodded, “Sure p>
Both of them walked towards a quiet corner, away from the crowd, while Amelia made her way back to her husband’s side. It was evident that she had left everything in the capable hands of her favored daughter, Michelle.
Michelle placed her hand on Ana’s, a sympathetic look in her eyes before she parted her lips to speak.
“I’m still very sorry for what my mom did earlier. I feel like I owe you a better apology for her actions p>
Anastasia forced herself to pull a smile onto her lips, the effort evident in the way her eyes didn’t quite match the expression.
“I told you, you don’t need to apologize. It’s completely understandable. You know what? You are my role model.” As soon as Ana said those words, Michelle’s eyes widened in surprise.
“I’ve watched every movie you have acted in, and that was why I decided to come to Radiantia so that I can meet you. And if possible, we can both be in the same movie and then you can give me some tips since you are so unique,” Anastasia added, her smile widening even more which left Michelle speechless.
Anastasia was keenly aware of how much Michelle loved praise, and from the contented expression on her face, it was evident that she was thoroughly enjoying the compliments Anastasia was showering upon her.
Tears brimmed in Michelle’s eyes before she replied, “Is that so? Now I feel even more guilty for what happened earlier.” Wiping her tears, she offered, “You know what, let’s hang out tomorrow, at the Harrison mansion so that my mother can apologize better p>
When she and her parents had stepped outside to discuss, they were perplexed by Selene’s unexpected appearance just a few months after Anastasia’s death, finding it rather suspicious.
Uncertain of Selene’s true identity, they felt it necessary to bring her closer into their circle to uncover the truth. Michelle offered to befriend Selene to gain her trust and learn more about her.
If Michelle could befriend Selene, they planned to keep a close watch on her to determine whether she was truly someone new or if she might still be the same Anastasia they had failed to get rid of.
Unbeknownst to them, Selene also wanted the same thing, to get closer to them until she had achieved her revenge.
“I see,” Anastasia said. She had always known that Michelle was cunny and the latter never seemed to disappoint. “That’s not a bad idea at all. It would be so cool to hang out with my favorite actress of all time.” Anastasia’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she stared at Michelle.
Michelle looked at Selene with a grin on her lips. She couldn’t wait for the next day to arrive so that she could put her on the tests she had arranged for her. Her father had already made arrangements on how to get rid of her if she turned out to be Anastasia.
On the other hand, Anastasia was waiting for the next day to arrive as well. Since she was getting invited to their house, she will be one step closer to getting her properties back from them. It was a long process but every step was extremely important.
“Alright then, I can come pick you up p>
“Don’t bother, I will come there myself,” Anastasia objected to the idea. She wouldn’t want any one of them to know where she lived and figure out her identity.
Anastasia had once gotten curious why she’d never seen Xavier’s family members at his house and he replied, he’d forbidden them from coming. Which only meant he didn’t want them to see her.
Even though Xavier’s house was heavily guarded with CCTVs, she didn’t want to take the risk of bringing one of those snakes into her home.
Michelle didn’t insist. She didn’t want to make her intentions known since this was the first time she was meeting Selene.
She still didn’t know how her attitude was, her weakness and strength but she believed she would find that out later.
Richard came to meet them since Xavier didn’t give him the chance to talk to him. As always, Xavier ignored him and didn’t pay him any attention. The both of them never did get along. Xavier wanted to better the life of Richard but the latter loved the way he was living. He didn’t want to work for his own money since he came from a wealthy family.
So he could have whatever he wants without lifting a finger.
He stared at Selene, and couldn’t help but gulp down his saliva, not out of love, but out of lust. His eyes ogled her body structure and he couldn’t help but stick out his tongue and licked his lips out of lust.
Since he was behind Anastasia, she didn’t see his actions. But Michelle saw him and she couldn’t help but shiver in disgust. She still hated Richard and having him breathe near her disgusted her even more.
Michelle had wanted a divorce from Richard but her mother had objected, saying they needed to be related to the Wallace family so that they could get more benefits from them.
“Ms. Jones,” he called. “This is the first time I’m seeing you around here. Are you from this city p>
Anastasia turned to look at Richard. He has a disgusting grin on his lips. “No, I’m not. I’m from Nexus City,” she replied, trying to keep her voice as polite as possible.
“Nexus city,” he repeated her words and ogled her body, opening this time. “I must say, you are very sexy,” he added.
