"...Sixth Master, please let Mai go. She's terrified of snakes. She's been locked up for an entire day without eating; we don't know how she's doing... What if she gets traumatized? What will we do then?"
"..."
"Sixth Master, if you truly care for Mai, please release her. Mai is stubborn and won't yield to pressure. Treating her like this will only make her distance herself from you..."
Adrian Desmond disliked her last sentence. "Whether she loves me or hates me," he said coldly, "I don't care now!"
"Sixth Master..." Selena Robertson watched Adrian Desmond walk away, but she still hadn't managed to persuade him to release Sienna Johnson.
Bella Ford came out and saw Selena Robertson "pestering" Adrian Desmond. Mistaking Selena for Mai, Bella looked her up and down and clicked her tongue. "She's quite attractive, but nowhere near as good-looking as my cousin..."
Selena knew this woman was Melanie Carpenter's cousin, so she greeted her respectfully, "Hello, Miss Ford."
