Chapter 197
Fishing a cigarette from his pocket, Fane started smoking. It was still the cheapest White-Sand
cigarette, the same familiar flavor.
After taking a deep breath, Fane finally responded, "So it means that Xena is good at deception. She
dresses simply in front of your brother and seems very innocent, yet she hangs out with some good-for-
nothings in secret? Moreover, your brother is deeply i n love with her. You're not telling your brother
because you know he won't believe you even if you told him?"
Selena nodded. "That's how things are. With my brother's personality, if you were to tell him, he might
even lose his temper. I’ve tried hinting to him a few times, telling him that Xena is not marriage material
and urged him to reconsider! In the end, he didn't come home for a few days straight, spending all that
time at the internet cafe with Xena!"
At that point, Selena looked to Fane once more." Moreover, my brother needs money to pay the
internet cafe and would always ask me or your mother. If we have no money to give him, he would yell
at us, saying that you're to blame as he might still be a young master of the TaylOr family with tens of
thousand bucks of pocket money each month if not for you."
Hearing that, Fane felt slightly angry. It would seem
that over the past few years, Selena and his mother had endured many indignations from Ben.
Furthermore, there was also the mother-in-law that was difficult to deal with.
"Could it be that Xena and your brother plotted together and arranged for this robbery? Is that a
possibility?"
Fane asked once more after giving it some thoughts.
This time, Selena shook her head without hesitation." That's impossible. Some time ago, my mother
just gave him 50 thousand bucks to get some gifts for
Xena. He didn't even use up the 50 thousand bucks."
Having said that, Selena paused for a moment and added, "My brother is not that brazen. Although he
wastes his life away, he won't stoop to that level.
Moreover, if he’s out of money, he will surely find a way to ask my mother. He won't resort to robbing!"
"Mm!"
Fane nodded. "Although Xena may not be a decent woman and might be having relations with other
men in secret, we have no proof that she was responsible for today's matter. That's why we better not
make wild claims!”
Selena naturally knew that. She was afraid of accusing the innocent. "That's right. This is just my
speculation. If I accused her wrongfully, that would be bad. Don't tell my family about those matters I
told you earlier as we have no evidence. Moreover, I was stupid back then for not taking a few pictures
with my phone..."
"Alright, where's your mother? Let’s head over quickly. We must get back that 3.8 million bucks!"
Fane smiled calmly, then waved for a taxi.
"They're at the bank. It’s on Heavenly Dragon street. I don’t think we can get the money back. With that
much money, if the robbers left Middle Province straight away, then it’ll be very difficult to get that
money back!"
Selena was feeling helpless. Furthermore, the power plays in Middle Province were complicated,
making it difficult to deal with many matters.
"Don't worry. Those that offend me won't end well!" Fane stated. His gaze clear and calm.
The taxi quickly stopped by the bank's entrance. Meanwhile, Fiona was seated at the curb outside the
bank in tears while Andrew was consoling her.
"Ma, stop crying. There are so many people watching. It's embarrassing!"
Selena approached them and said in a helpless tone.
"It's over 3 million bucks! That's over 3 million bucks! I’ve never seen that much money for five years.
Now that I finally have it, it was taken away from me just like that. How can I not cry?" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Fiona was wiping her tears while looking at Selena and Fane. "It's because of you. If both of you
followed u
s to the bank, will we get robbed?" 2
Fane was speechless. How was he to blame?
“Mother, don’t worry. This money won't be lost!" Fane smiled bitterly, trying to console her.
