The Villainess Redeems Herself, The Beast Husbands are in a Daily Love Battle-Chapter 20: How Good Could She Possibly Look

The more crucial issue is that this family possesses noble status with royal connections.

They not only have vast networks but have also directly interacted with the highest powers.

Including the current Empress and the future heir to the throne.

When discussing social status and symbols of identity, facing these royal members who sit on thrones.

Even with her current status, she cannot overstep even slightly.

Originally, Selene was ready to completely ignore the invitation.

But she ultimately did not do so and instead paused her actions, carefully examining the photograph enclosed with the letter.

And because of it, her interest was piqued.

Is there really a mermaid here?

The person in the photograph had rare blue hair.

The mermaid’s body was bound by heavy, cold chains, and its limbs seemed to have been confined for a long time.

Its eyelashes were long, casting shadows on its cheeks, and its eyes held tears that had yet to dry.

In this world, the existence of mermaids might not be uncommon.

Yet to Selene, the excitement of seeing a mermaid was almost equal to encountering the legendary Divine Beast "Dragon."

After all, for her...

Mermaids represent a mysterious and unfathomable world.

She swiftly decided that she must attend the upcoming gathering no matter what.

"That woman is actually willing to go?"

His voice carried a mix of suspicion and hesitation.

"This isn’t quite normal, is it?"

His silver-grey hair tangled in his grasp as he pulled and twisted it.

He couldn’t help but ask himself again.

"Why did she agree? Didn’t she always refuse to come before? Every time a family gathering was mentioned, she would shake her head like a rattle?"

Recalling the past, no matter if they tried to persuade her through earnest persuasion or persistent urging, the young lady of the Kane Family always refused to attend any of the social occasions hosted by the Osborne Family.

Her reason was clear.

She always felt that she came from a humble background, lacked education in noble etiquette, and feared making mistakes and being laughed at in formal settings.

More importantly, in a society that emphasizes hierarchy and contractual systems...

If a female with a signed partner contract does not attend important banquets...

The male going alone would bring about extremely severe negative evaluations.

Such an absence would be interpreted as...

This female doesn’t value her male partner, perhaps even publicly belittling or insulting him.

And this would undoubtedly lead others to believe that this male holds a lowly status.

Even more frighteningly, this behavior could affect their next generation.

Once labeled as such...

A child might be ostracized by peers from an early age because of the mother’s indifference.

And for the male involved, it is an even more painful matter.

These factors combined made every family gathering a situation for Evan that was far more complex than just dining or socializing.

But now, Selene actually expressed her willingness to go.

This should have been a moment of joy for Evan, but it instead brought him more worries.

He felt an inexplicable anticipation for the upcoming gathering, yet sensed a faint feeling of anxiety.

He certainly did not want to go alone with only his brother to the venue.

If the fickle and unruly Selene suddenly did something outrageous...

Wouldn’t that ruin everything?

Because he knows better than anyone that Selene is not one to follow rules.

Her personality is straightforward and spontaneous, and often doesn’t follow conventional logic.

Yet she constantly carries the expression of "this is who I am, what can you do about it?"

If it weren’t for the forced pairing system binding them together, they wouldn’t even have much of a basis for the most basic interactions.

"Grooming fur," a private act reserved only for close relations, she should not even imagine meddling with.

Meanwhile, the quiet figure beside them finally raised its head.

Ethan transformed into a small, snow-white tiger, lazily licking the soft fur on his forepaw.

A faint smile even played at the corner of his mouth.

"Since she wants to go, just let her go, we should just keep our distance from her."

Evan slapped him solidly on his broad back.

"You lose your intellect the moment you transform back, stop discussing matters in Beast Form going forward."

Somewhat unwillingly, Ethan changed back.

White tiger fur that had fallen before still clung to the tip of his nose.

He casually swayed, but didn’t manage to completely shake it off.

"After all, this is our mom’s domain, she won’t tolerate her."

Said he, releasing the remaining white fur from his fingers.

The fur floated weightlessly in the breeze and landed on Selene’s nose, making it itch and causing her to sneeze involuntarily.

"Who’s gossiping about me behind my back?"

She suddenly turned around, a faint smile on her lips.

Yet the smile did not extend to her eyes, which carried a piercing coldness, fixed firmly on Ethan standing on the second floor. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

At the moment he sensed her gaze.

Ethan, usually fearless, instinctively stepped back.

His throat involuntarily emitted a low growl.

His entire body’s muscles instantly tightened.

Evan promptly noticed the anomaly.

"What’s the matter?"

His heart raced, just now...

Was he afraid of her?

Impossible!

She is just a newly awakened Spiritual Practitioner.

He is a pure-blooded member of the Ancient Beast Clan!

Must be losing his mind!

Soon came the day of the family gathering, early in the morning Selene was pulled aside for makeup.

She sat in front of the mirror, looking at the exquisitely unfamiliar figure in the mirror, almost exclaiming aloud.

How could she look this beautiful...

It was as if she had transformed into someone else.

"System! Take a photo quickly, record everything comprehensively."

Selene excitedly commanded into the void.

"Photography completed."

"Continue recording video!"

Selene commanded again.

This time, she was determined to perfectly document every detail.

The response was silent.

The system seemed to be in a state of silence.

Usually keeping her head lowered, this time she brushed the hair from her forehead upwards.

Her entire aura instantly transformed.

Unexpectedly, her features were so stunning!

She already possessed an unignorable face.

Now, meticulously embellished, her beauty was just right.

Neither ostentatious nor understated.

The last time she saw the orange-haired Nico who was already a poised diva.

Unexpectedly, her own transformation rivaled, each showcasing distinct qualities.

If Nico was a fiery rose.

Then Selene was a cold snow mountain lotus.

Two styles, yet equally unforgettable.

Previously, Selene always dressed in pure, gentle styles, elegantly understated wear.

Today, with slight modifications, refined brows, vivid lips, paired with a perfectly tailored gown.

Her entire being refreshed anew.

Upstairs, the brothers were already prepared, sitting impatiently in suits on the sofa waiting.

The clock inside ticked audibly.

"Brother, let’s just depart first."

"She just has that one face, how beautiful can she make herself look?"
