Gavin couldn't help but chuckle softly. "You're overreacting. That's not what she meant."
"How is it not? If your brother marries, does she really have the nerve to say those things to his wife in front of
the family? Does she dare to disregard her feelings?"
Gavin fell silent, realizing she had a point.
Ellie wouldn't dare.
Ryan wasn't just the eldest son in the family; he was also the heir of the next generation.
His wife would undoubtedly cfrom a prestigious background, and anyone entering the family would have to
be on their best behavior...
Truthfully, Gavin understood all of this.
He was, after all, just a distant relative. Even if Ellie affectionately called him "big brother," he was always aware
of his place.
Ellie was the genuine heir of the family, while he was merely a playmate to her. He certainly appreciated her
warmth and knew Ellie held a genuine fondness for him as a brother, but he couldn't forget his position in the
grand schof things. Thus, Gavin remained unfazed about Ellie not sending Selena a pearl necklace. After
hearing Selena's concerns and noticing his lack of reaction, he spoke up, "We're a family. If she looks down on
you, she's looking down on me, too. | don't want anyone in this house to think less of you, Gavin. | don't want

Gavin laughed. "You're overthinking it. That's not happening."

like they're trying to makeback down and smooth things over between you and the Hortons."
Selena's eyes reddened slightly. "But why should I? This is all because of Lewis's schemes! My mom is in prison,
my dad is dead, and now the Hortons are just following his orders. He's treating our family this way, and | have

Gavin quickly comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry. My brother isn't trying to hurt you. He just wants you to mend
things with your family. Besides, you still have a younger brother, right?"
Selena retorted immediately, "My brother has been fooled by them. He doesn't even acknowledge Dad anymore.
How could he possibly acknowledgeas his sister?" Gavin sighed. "But they are still family."
"They aren't my family; they're my enemies!"
Selena couldn't help but shout.
Gavin paused in surprise, then hesitantly suggested, "What if we don't go tomorrow? Ms. Olsen saved my brother
and Ellie's lives; it's only right for them to express their
gratitude. If you don't want to go home, we can skip it...
"That's out of the question."
Selena interjected sharply, "We have to go!"

right?"
After saying this, Selena entered her room, glancing back at Gavin.
Sure enough, she saw a hint of guilt on his face.
That was enough for her.
As long as he felt guilty, when he succumbed to cancer tomorrow, he would help her
say a few good words... Even if he was dead, Ryan would still treat her kindly!
