Chapter 234: Selene’s nemesis...
Selene POV
My hand flew to Noah’s arms as I tried not to make a sound.
"Thank you for this wonderful opportunity given to me by the board members to serve my Alma mater. I am a great beneficiary of the splendid education here and trust me when I say this is the best place a child can ever be. So, I’m so grateful," Princess Jade spoke first.
The crowd clapped and had to quieten for Brooke to speak.
She was dressed differently from what I was used to. For the first time since I met her, she wore a dress that covered every inch of her body. Gone was her bold, suggestive red lips or cleavage spewing out her breast. Rather, she was wearing a floor-length full skirt and a long-sleeved matching blouse.
"What is the meaning of this, Noah?" I recovered long enough to whisper to my husband "When I asked the Grand Lycan to fire the former Principal, I didn’t tell him to bring these two? What do they know about running a school? And wasn’t Brooke banished? How dare she show her face here?"
"This is surprising to me darling," Noah sighed but as soon as the event is over, I’ll try to find out from the Grand Lycan about this. Be rest assured, everything will be settled as soon as possible, okay?"
Not wanting to draw attention to myself or hint that their presence here bothered me, I decided to stay put. I spent the next hour, trying to understand what was going on. I couldn’t stop thinking about Princess Jade and Brooke, especially Brooke. Was she here on a revenge mission?
The women had not mentioned what roles they would be taking, so I didn’t know which of them would be in the elementary section of the school. I sat there quietly, trying to understand if this was an oversight by the Grand Lycan or if this was his way to get back at me. I couldn’t help but feel threatened.
Life has been going so well for me, I couldn’t afford any extra drama now. By the end of the performance, I and Noah had to hold on for the rest of the guests to come to greet us. It was customary. As we stood making small talks with people that came forward, my eyes caught Brooke and Jade mingling with the crowd too.
Suddenly, Brooke looked over to where I was and our eyes met and held. At first, she didn’t do anything but slowly, her lips parted until a smug smile appeared on her lips. She leaned forward and whispered something to Princess Jade before both of them started to where I and Noah were standing.
As they came close, my heart pounded faster, the room seemed as though it was spinning, I reached out to Noah and grabbed a handful of his shirt making him pause and turn worried eyes at me. He must have seen the sweat on my brows because he leaned closer to me and murmured.
