NovelOnlineChapter 903 Max's Previous Owner Ronald opened his mouth, wanting to say something comforting, but he just ended up staring at the papers on the blanket, lost for words.
Selena, knowing him too well, sighed, "Just chill in the hospital and rest up. If I get the chance, I'll make her pay for this." "Ms. Fair," Ronald looked up at her. "The entertainment biz is all about power. Without it, we're always gonna get pushed around. We're not big shots yet, so we gotta suck it up. The main thing is we're still kicking. So, don't sweat it. We'll just be smarter next time." At thirty-two, Ronald had seen enough to know the score.
Selena nodded. When she got back to the car, she felt wiped out, not just physically, but mentally too.
She had hoped to take a few days off since most of the month's work was done, but now she just wanted to dive back into work, to turn S.M Corporation into a powerhouse so no one could mess with her.
She headed back to Ashbourne Manor to crash.
In the evening, she took Max for a walk.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRight now, only Max could lift her spirits a bit.
She took Max and left Ashbourne Manor, deciding to stroll around the area.
She ended up at the spot where she had once met Mia, who was sketching there, looking so innocent.
In such a short time, everything had flipped upside down.
Max suddenly started barking at a guy in the distance.
But it was too far for Selena to make out his face; she could only tell he was tall and carried himself well. Max barked and bolted towards the guy.
"Max!" Selena had no clue what Max had seen to get him so hyped.
She quickly followed, but by the tshe got there, the guy was gone.
She saw Max circling the spot, tail wagging, ears twitching.
Selena had a wild thought, 'Could that guy be Max's old owner?' She took Max and walked up the path.
It started to rain, and this path led to the park.
She had no umbrella, but Max seemed super excited in the rain.
Selena's mood, somehow, lifted a bit. It felt like she was on a treasure hunt with Max.
She was good at cheering herself up, so she focused on whether they could find this "treasure." Max kept wagging his tail ahead but also made sure Selena could keep up, not running too fast. Selena held the leash, wiping the rain off her face.

Selena didn't want to go back, didn't want to return to Ashbourne Manor and sit quietly, only to think about Brenda's pregnancy again.
So she kept walking along the path, not knowing how long she had walked when Max suddenly stopped.
She looked up and saw, in the distance, a body being washed by the rain, blood mixing with the rainwater and spreading.
Selena took a step back, gripping the leash tightly.
From behind the tree where the body lay, a man in a raincoat suddenly appeared.
The guy held a machete, and they locked eyes.
Selena almost immediately crouched down, untying Max's leash and pointing downward.
The way up was uphill, so going down would be easier.
