Damien had learned various business and social skills from a young age, so he could instantly tell that she was just using those people as long-term financial support.

    He knew all along that beneath Selene''s proud appearance, she was hiding a not- so-perfect background.

    She always seemed so experienced in romantic rtionships. She could easily manipte others while still making them think that she was aloof and naive.

    After seeing through those rtionships, he got upset. He pulled Selene aside and scolded her for getting too close to her male ssmates and ignoring her own brother.

    How did she respond to him back then?

    Damien suddenly realized he could surprisingly remember everything about her so clearly.

    She wore her youthful and charming school uniform. She crouched down, raised her hand, and gently rubbed his head.

    "Of course, you''re different from the others. Why did youe to find me at school suddenly, Dami?"

    Damien wore a stern expression. He had been doted on since he was young, especially by Selene, and had also grown used to speaking so bluntly.

    "I miss you, so I came here to find you. Mom and Dad aren''t home, and you''re not home either. I really miss you. Can I live on campus with you?"

    Selene was in senior high at the time, while Damien was still in elementary school. She found it funny, even bending over whileughing.

    But even then, she never told him she had no money, not even a single cent.

    She had never asked for money from her family. Whenever her parents gave her money, she spent it all on Damien.

    Back then, he really thought that Selene was genuinely spoiling him. But afterward, he kind of figured she was just trying to prove her loyalty to the Jensens.

    The sunlight felt really good that day. He could vividly remember her smile for the rest of his life, and she looked radiant in her school uniform. It was a shame that they didn''t attend the same school, and she wasn''t home often, so he barely got to see her.

    That was the first time he felt a little jealous of the people who got to see her every day.

    In the past, he didn''t understand why Selene didn''t want to attend the prestigious private school with him. Instead, she went to a public school alone.

    He eventually found out that private schools didn''t have a boarding policy. The privileged children had private drivers to chauffeur them to and from school every day, and what they learned in school wasn''tusually those rigid lessons from textbooks.

    On Selene''s first day in the public school, she immediately applied to live on campus.

    Sophia and Christopher agreed to it. She was only 15 years old at the time. Damien was so furious that he cried profusely at home, feeling abandoned.

    He had a feeling at that time, hoping time would go faster so he could catch up to her.

    Those days of having a crush on Selene were the sweetest but also the most painful. When he realized he had feelings for her, he was actually scared.

    Because he knew Selene only saw him as her brother.

    She eventually got into a college with outstanding grades, and there were always male ssmates around her. What made it more infuriating was that they would buy snacks for Damien every time in an attempt to woo her.

    .n

    Damien couldn''t stand this kind of treatment. Whenever he went to her college, he would deliberately have his private driver drive the most expensive car there. As soon as the car that was worth tens of millions of dors showed up, as expected, those guys that were way out of her league finally backed off.

    Selene scolded him for that incident, but he was d it had happened.

    His history with Selene could go back so far. It has already been 23 years since his birth.

    Everything about her had long be a part of his life, but she didn''t love him.

    It made him grit his teeth in anger.

    Damien kissed her lips, nearly suffocating her with his force.

    Selene remainedpletely stiff the entire time, and her attitude like this left him defeated and furious.

    Her chin was being gripped tightly, and his voice was filled with rage. "Aren''t you so good at messing around with men? You used them like your walking wallets back in senior high. Why couldn''t you have treated me the same way.

    Even if she was just using him, he would have been happy.

    However, Selene didn''t dare to mess with him.
