Dumping The Ice King His Mini-Tyrant novel Chapter 529

The black Jeep stopped. The window lowered again, revealing Selene's fair, composed face.

"Selene, dear!" Matilda's eyes lit up with hope.

Selene looked at her mother, her dark eyes holding nothing but a distant, ironic smile. "I am no longer the mother of the Vaughn family's young master. And Daph has only one mother: me. If you're looking for someone to brainwash those children, you've come to the wrong person."

"Selene!" Victor cut in. "The Thompson family cannot afford to lose the Vaughns! We let you have your way when you insisted on the divorce. But as my daughter, and as the head of the Thompson Group, you have a responsibility to maintain our family's connection to the Vaughns! If you won't be Harrison's wife, Felicity will! You have to help her!"

Selene scoffed, her voice turning to ice. "If Felicity actually marries Harrison, the Thompson family will become the laughingstock of the entire Capital. Two sisters marrying the same man? We'll be ridiculed everywhere we go!"

"What does a woman like you know?" Victor's voice boomed. "I don't care what people in the Capital say about us! All I care about is the unwavering support of the Vaughn family!" If not for the car door between them, he would have struck her. His eyes were wide with fury.

Selene's voice was filled with contempt. "Victor, if you want to leech off the Vaughns, go do it yourself! You could go call Harrison 'daddy' for all I care!" Her words were sharp and deliberate. "Just. Stop. Bothering. Me."

"You are a daughter of the Thompson family!" Victor yelled.

"I don't have to be," Selene replied, her tone final.

Victor and Matilda both gasped.

"Do you have any idea what you're saying?" Victor looked like he was about to have a stroke.
