Chapter 174 

I sat in silence, my eyes glued to the screen as the footage played. I recognized myself in the video immediately. There I was, sitting at a table, talking casually with a friend. The drinks were served, and 1 watched myself take a sip. 

Something about the scene felt off, so I rewound the video. That’s when I saw it–the waiter slipping something into my drink. 

My breath hitched. I wasn’t expecting that. 

I leaned closer to the screen, my heart pounding as I tried to see who had given the waiter the order. I zoomed in, and when the image became clearer, my eyes widened. 

It wasn’t Selene. 

The person who gave the order was another woman. 

I clenched my jaw as I zoomed in further, staring hard at the screen. The woman’s face became 

unmistakable. It was Selene’s cousin. 

“Does that mean she did it, and Selene is innocent?” Storm asked, breaking the tense silence. He and the others were standing next to me, watching everything unfold. 

I didn’t answer. My silence made Storm stop talking, but his question lingered in the air. 

Selene. Innocent? 

No. That couldn’t be it. There was no way she wasn’t involved. Maybe she’d told her cousin to do it. Maybe it was all part of her plan. 

I continued the playback, skipping ahead to see more footage of Selene’s cousin. My focus was solely on her now, not myself. I needed to know the full story. 

Ten minutes into the video, I saw her: Selene. 

She looked so young in the footage, almost fragile. She entered the club hesitantly, glancing around nervously like she didn’t belong there. 

I almost scoffed when I saw her walk directly to her cousin. Of course, I thought. But what happened 

next stopped me cold. 

Selene’s cousin slapped her. 

My jaw tightened as I watched Selene stumble, her hand flying to her cheek. Tears welled in her eyes, and she began to cry. 

“What’s wrong? Why did she slap Selene? Didn’t she do everything for her?” Finn muttered, his tone 

laced with confusion. 

I didn’t answer. I couldn’t. My eyes were glued to the screen, unblinking. 

Selene tried to grab her cousin’s hand, but the woman yanked it away. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, her cousin grabbed her hair and pulled her head back, yelling something at her. 

I leaned closer to the screen, straining to catch the words, but there was no audio.

Her cousin then pointed toward the private rooms, her gestures sharp and commanding. 

“Is she blackmailing her to sleep with you?” Derek asked softly, his voice filled with disbelief. 

The possibility made my stomach churn. I didn’t know what to think anymore.
