The Villainess Redeems Herself, The Beast Husbands are in a Daily Love Battle-Chapter 99: First Encounter

It’s not just spending money; it’s like cutting flesh from her body!

Just sold old stuff to save some money, and it was cleared away immediately—it’s as if fate was mocking her.

She bit her lip, trying hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart.

But she knew, this money couldn’t be spared.

For him, it’s worth it.

Zane spoke cautiously.

"Female Master, isn’t it too expensive? Actually, I don’t need a room. It’s enough to stay with you."

"Occasionally soaking in a bathtub is sufficient."

"I’m not hard to please; don’t think I’m troublesome."

He didn’t want to become her burden, nor did he want her to spend everything because of him.

Even if that basement ultimately became his home. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He hoped to move in with equal status, not as a "charity case."

Selene Kane took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly.

She forced a seemingly relaxed smile.

"How could I? How could I find you bothersome? Don’t think too much."

"You are willing to leave home and come to me, so I should give you the best."

Zane’s voice was deep and earnest.

"This is what I owe you, and what I must achieve. I can’t let you suffer with me, not even a bit."

It’s all over...

Selene Kane sighed silently in her heart, beads of sweat dotting her forehead.

She had maintained for so long, constantly striving to be an independent grand protagonist.

But reality is still reality; at a critical moment, she must rely on the Beast Husbands.

The grand protagonist persona was on the verge of completely collapsing.

Forget it; might as well go with it.

She closed her eyes, and when she reopened them, there was a determination to go all out.

Since she had already decided to spend their money,

why bother about the price?

After all that haggling, does it not still lead to submission?

She regained her spirit, clenched Zane’s hand, and continued forward.

Picking up whatever she fancied, whether it was limited edition perfume or diamond-encrusted watches, all into the shopping bag.

At the cashier, she swiped her card without even a furrow in her brow.

On the third floor, the mall lighting suddenly became softer.

Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly glimpsed a familiar figure, Princess Kate.

She stood gracefully in front of the jewelry counter, exuding elegance and otherworldly charm.

It was the same woman who caused a city-wide scandal when rumors of her engagement with Caleb Shaw circulated.

Apparently, the Emperor originally intended to betroth her to Caleb Shaw; the families had an understanding.

If Selene Kane hadn’t suddenly matched with Caleb Shaw in the system,

it might have been her standing here now.

Kate had a pair of amber eyes, clear and bright.

Her lashes were dense and distinct, each one curling upwards.

In the light, they cast a faint shadow against her flawless white skin, making her look almost unreal in her beauty.

Even just a gentle blink from her seemed enough to steal one’s soul away.

Her lips curled slightly, revealing a row of neat, white teeth.

Her smile was so sweet that it softened hearts unconsciously.

This was the true princess.

Selene Kane sighed inwardly.

Raised in the Royal Palace with adoration from a young age.

Wherever she stood, she was like a shining pearl, radiating brilliance.

The others standing beside her always appeared dim and lackluster.

Today, she wasn’t wearing a glamorous gown, just a simple, plain-colored long dress.

Yet, on her, it appeared as haute couture.

Even the wind seemed to take an extra loop when passing by her.

"Admiral, do you think this necklace suits me?"

Kate slightly turned her body, her voice soft.

Selene Kane suddenly snapped back to reality, only then noticing the male figure standing beside her.

That man stood as straight as a pine, with broad shoulders and long legs.

When he spoke, his voice was unperturbed.

Who else could it be but Caleb Shaw?

"The Princess always has a keen eye."

Caleb Shaw spoke plainly, his voice low.

After he spoke, his gaze remained straight ahead, not casting an extra glance at Kate.

Kate smiled gently, her lips curving softly, allure mingling with her demeanor.

Her fingertips lightly brushed over the necklace pendant.

"You’re always so good at making people happy."

She murmured, her tone holding a mix of intimacy and teasing.

Selene Kane froze for a moment, her fingers subconsciously tightening, nails almost embedding in her palm.

Was Caleb Shaw good at talking?

She never thought so!

In front of her, he always seemed distant and cold, speaking so little that if one word would suffice, he’d never use two.

Every time she tried to chat with him,

he would either remain silent or respond with a perfunctory couple of words.

But now, he could say something like "the Princess always has a keen eye" to someone else?

Kate wore a pair of delicate lace gloves, her fingertips gently sliding over the smooth marble counter.

Those obscenely priced jewels.

Diamond-encrusted hairpins, sapphire pendants, emerald earrings, and brooches studded with small diamonds, each one a rare treasure.

She gently raised her eyes, her lips slightly curving.

Only those appreciated by her could truly shine.

Caleb Shaw stood quietly beside her, his hands overlapping in front of him, his gaze fixated ahead.

His expression was somewhat distant, a barely noticeable vigilance hiding between his brows.

Even though today he was dressed in a plain outfit and wore no royal insignia,

his stately posture still made him impossible to ignore.

Behind him were several royal guards, uniformly clad in dark gray short capes.

They stood with straight postures, their gazes elevated.

Neither disruptive nor relaxed, they looked like ordinary attendants accompanying the Princess out for a leisurely stroll.

The atmosphere was relaxed and natural, sunlight pouring through the glass dome in dappled patches.

No one would have thought there might be danger lurking underneath this facade of tranquility.

Everything seemed so serene, so safe.

Kate suddenly raised her hand, her slender fingers lightly lifting a ruby necklace.

The pendant of the necklace was a teardrop-shaped deep red gem.

She held the necklace up to the light, tilting her head slightly.

Allowing the light to pass through the gemstone from different angles, admiring its changing hues.

The brilliant red light reflected in her pale golden eyes.

At that moment, her gaze accidentally fell on the corner at the other end of the counter and suddenly paused.

"Oh?"

She slightly widened her eyes, her long lashes trembling slightly.

She originally thought she was just here for leisure today, but unexpectedly ran into that person here.

Caleb Shaw’s female master, Selene Kane.

This woman, rumored to be reclusive, how could she appear here alone?

Didn’t she always dislike being in the spotlight?

Without much thought, Kate stepped towards Selene Kane.

Almost as soon as she approached, she instinctively sensed the subtle tension in the other’s body.

Selene Kane’s eyes flickered, a hint of barely noticeable disappointment passing through them.

But that emotion only existed for a moment before quickly being suppressed.

Replaced by a barely maintained, polite smile.

"Hello, I’m Kate."

She tilted her head slightly, the golden curls swaying gently with the movement.

Selene Kane originally wanted to quietly avoid her.

She wasn’t skilled at handling such situations, let alone when the other party was a bona fide princess.
