Chapter 1504 No Need
After Margot left with Spencer, Selena sat down next to Osvaldo and smiled, "I'm going out tonight."
Osvaldo reached out and pulled her into his arms. "I'll accompany you."
Selena knew that the man was worried about her safety and did not refuse, obediently lying in his arms
and closing her eyes.
That night, in the luxurious central hall of the Cooke family villa, there was a beautiful nine-layered cake
on display. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
The two Cooke family daughters wore identical red dresses and tied their hair the same way. Apart
from their red eyes, there was no sign of any flaws.
However, the atmosphere was not as lively as imagined.
Candy's father Noel was a businessman with a round beer belly and a kind, smiling face that
resembled Maitreya Buddha. However, at this moment, there was no joy on his face. He was pacing
back and forth in the house in anxiety.
His two precious daughters had not returned all night, and even though they were later safely sent
back, their tearful appearance had nearly caused him to have a heart attack.
If the doctor had not repeatedly assured him that the two girls had not suffered any harm, he would
have reported to the police long ago.
His wife Aleena was very beautiful, but at the moment she also looked worried as she looked at her two
daughters.
"Baby, don't be afraid, tell Mom, what happened?"
"Don't be afraid, did someone bully you? Tell Daddy, Daddy will definitely beat him until he's
toothless..."
No matter how they asked, the two daughters, who usually loved to talk and laugh, remained silent
about why they were crying.
Apart from when they first entered the house and burst into tears in their parents' arms, the two girls
showed no signs of abnormality.
Noel had intended to cancel the birthday banquet to comfort his daughters, but Nova disagreed, saying
that she had invited guests.
The two sisters had pure hearts and wide-ranging friendships. They were very popular at Capital
University, and the birthday banquet had invited many classmates.
All the students in Class 7 were happy to come, but when they walked in and saw the twin who were
always cheerful and happy with red and swollen eyes, they were shocked.
"What's wrong?"
"You should be happy on your birthday, don't cry..."
Candy had almost recovered by now and answered her classmates' questions, occasionally looking up
and glancing towards the door. "It's fine, we were just scared by a poisonous snake."
Upon hearing Candy's words, everyone didn't know whether to feel relieved or more anxious.
"Snake?!"
"Did you guys go to the zoo? Don't they keep the snakes locked up in the zoo? Did it accidentally get
out?"
Candy remembered Penelope and gritted her teeth. "It did accidentally get out, but it's been caught and
I believe it won't have the chance to come out again."
Everyone instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
The couple from the Cooke family were relieved that their daughter had finally spoken and handed the
cake knife to Nova. "Sweetie, all your classmates are here, you can make a wish and cut the cake
now."
Nova looked at the knife that was handed to her and then turned her head to look outside again.
Candy furrowed her brows, looked at her watch, and said softly, "Just wait a bit longer."
Aleena asked gently, "What are we waiting for?"
Candy was about to speak, but suddenly the door of the hall was pushed open from outside. The
Cooke family's butler brought in a group of servants, sweating profusely, and welcomed a beautiful
young man and woman. His voice trembled, "Mr. Anderson, Miss Turner, welcome..."
The people in the hall turned their heads to look and saw the famous couple walking in hand in hand.
Noel was frightened by their faces, and he knew that their small family couldn't afford to invite these
two big shots...
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was about to greet them respectfully when he saw his
previously listless daughter, who suddenly saw Selena and her eyes lit up with joy. She rushed over
and hugged Selena's neck, "Selena, you're here..."
Selena looked at the girl with swollen eyes, touched her hair and smiled slightly, "It's okay, don't be
afraid."
Nova immediately stopped crying and cheered, "Selena, will you come and cut the cake with me?"
Selena nodded and smiled, "Okay."
The people in the hall finally snapped out of their shock and reacted, and everyone was almost crazy
with joy. "Selena, you're here!"
"And you brought your boyfriend, too."
Facing the shocked and pleasantly surprised gaze of everyone, Selena led Nova to the giant cake
tower.
She stood in the middle, and the twin sisters from the Cooke family stood smilingly beside her. Amidst
a chorus of joyful blessings, under the colorful lights and fireworks, the three raised their hands and
dropped the cake knife together.
With a click, a photo was captured.
...
In the quiet mansion, Cassius entered the magnificent hall shrouded in darkness.
The person inside immediately stepped forward to help him remove his coat and respectfully reported,
"Miss Penelope has been arrested by the tribunal and is being held and tried within."
Although he did not like the woman, she was still Cassius' only daughter, and they would not conceal
what needed to be reported.
Because everyone knew that after the trial for the crimes Penelope committed, the only thing waiting
for her was a dead end.
Cassius leisurely lit a cigarette, his eyes blurred in the hazy smoke. Instead of asking about Penelope,
he asked about another matter, "What's the Anderson family doing today?"
After a moment, a response came from inside the room, "The old man went out this morning and was
invited by Miss Turner to see Miss Penelope, and he personally denied Miss Penelope's existence."
Cassius seemed to smile, then didn't ask anything else and walked toward the inner room.
Although he didn't like Penelope, she was still Cassius' only daughter. If she died, it would mean the
end of the Cassius line.
"Shouldn't we do something, Cassius?"
Cassius didn't look back, "We can't save her, and there's no need to."
Penelope was just too reckless.
Whether it was escaping from prison or framing Selena in the Soo family, Cassius had already
sacrificed many people to help her.
But that woman obviously didn't remember any of it.
She only remembered that Cassius had to save her. The cost of saving her was not within Penelope's
consideration.
With two past failures as examples, neither Osvaldo nor Selena could let Penelope go.
At this time, Spencer had returned to the capital and personally guarded the tribunal, which was the
best proof.
Who was qualified to save someone under the watchful eye of the tribunal's chief judge?
