My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 57

Mortal Enemies
“Who’s Jeffery Clark?” She asked.

Both Kace and Xavier shared a look, their distaste still evident on their faces.

“Is he a member of the Clark family?” She added.

“He is,” Xavier replied. Selene widened her eyes in surprise.

“That means he wants them to transfer their property to him, but why?” She frowned deeply, wondering.

The Clark family was just as rich and powerful as the Wallace family, leading to fierce competition between them. Due to a past incident, they avoided crossing paths, knowing that any encounter could result in bloodshed.

Xavier was also curious why Robert wanted the Clark family to sign their properties in his name.

‘What kind of relationship does he have with the Clark family?’ He also wondered.

Selene went back to the set to continue the movie. She got lots of get-well-soon wishes from everyone. Even though most of the people on the set hated her, they still acted quite the opposite, pretending to be her friend.

Liam had texted her several times the previous day, asking her how she was doing.

She wanted to know if she could trust Liam, but since he didn’t give out any bad vibes, she still stayed friends with him.

After the last shoot, which ended earlier than expected since Michelle didn’t make any mistakes, Director Jeunes announced, “After today’s shoot, we are almost done with the movie. To thank you all for your cooperation and hard work, I will be sponsoring a three-day vacation for everyone at a villa. Anyone interested can come and relax. The crew is also invited to join.”

Everyone was very excited because of the vacation. The only time they got to rest was during the hiatus. They didn’t even get the weekend off so they were looking forward to relaxing at the villa director Jeunes was going to take them to.

Selene was also excited, she was also going on a vacation.

“Are you going?” Kace asked from behind her.

“I should, it’s for everyone,” she replied, looking forward to it as well.

Kace smirked, a grin stretching on his lips. If Selene was going, that meant he had to follow her as well. But the only way he would be able to follow her was if Xavier didn’t give him any more work. He prayed that Xavier would let him, he also needed a vacation.

From the corners of his eyes, he saw Allison. As always, her white hair stood out from the crowd.

As if sensing his gaze, Allison made eye contact with her. She smiled at him before tearing her gaze from him.

Leaving Selene’s side, he walked towards her.

“Hi,” he said, waving his hands in front of her.

“Hello.”

“I’m still sorry about the misunderstanding we had earlier.”

“It’s okay,” she responded.

“So, are you also going on vacation?” He asked her?” He asked, curious to know what her response would be.

Her blue eyes settled on him and he thought he was looking into the ocean. It wanted to drown him in and he didn’t mind if he drowned.

“I’m not going,” she replied.

Kace felt a glass shatter above his head. It was his hope that had just shattered. Because for some reason, he wanted her to come along as well. She always kept a smile on her lips whenever she was talking to people. And he knew better that people who always smiled had something going on in their life and he was curious to know what was going on in her life.

“And why is that?” He asked.

Selene had been talking to herself without realizing it. When she noticed that Kace had been quiet for too long, she turned but didn’t see Kace around.

She darted her eyes around, searching for him when she found him talking with her makeup artist.

“What is he doing there?” She wondered, her eyes narrowed with a faint smile on her lips.

Back at where Allison and Kace were,

Allison replied, “I have college and I don’t have time to go on vacation. I still have plenty of things to do.”

‘So she’s a college student,’ Kace thought to himself.

“I see,” he hummed, not sure of what to say next. “Which college do you go to?” He asked.

Instantly, Allison’s eyes narrowed at him on suspicion. They only started talking recently and she wasn’t going to reveal personal relationships about herself to just anyone.

“You don’t need to know which one,” she said. Kace immediately realized what he’d done.

He was asking her questions as if he was some sort of detective.

“I’m truly sorry,” he immediately apologized.

Allison smiled at him but didn’t say anything.

‘I can just trace which college she goes to,’ Kace thought to himself with a smirk on his lips.

The both of them exchanged a few more words before Kace and Selene went home.

Kace informed Xavier about the vacation. Shockingly, Xavier allowed him to go with her. Immediately, he went back to the Wallace mansion to pack his bags.

Michelle saw him and questioned, “Don’t tell me you are going with Selene to the villa?”

“And what if I am? What are you going to do about it?” Kace questioned back. Michelle glared hard at him. “Stop glaring at me like that, you look like an owl,” he added, turning to leave.

“Do you know where Richard is?” She asked, stopping him.

A smirk pulled on Kace’s lips.

“Don’t tell me you have lost your husband,” he said.

Michelle became annoyed. “Do you know where he is or not? I’ve tried calling him but he isn’t picking up his call.”

“Well, that’s none of my business, you know. He’s your husband after all. You are supposed to keep an eye on him or perhaps, did he leave you? Shouldn’t you be glad he did?” He questioned her.

He knew where Richard was and he wasn’t going to tell her anything.

“Maybe you should start keeping your husband on a leash,” he added and left.
