Selena smiled as she raised her eyebrows.
Osvaldo walked over and naturally embraced her in his arms.
Selena looked at the man's delicate and handsome face, her smile sweet. "Osvaldo, I have something
to tell you."
Osvaldo touched her face and noticed that her temperature was cold. He then led Selena back to the
living room.
A steaming dinner was laid out on the table, and the servants were all gone. The whole living room was
only the two of them.
Osvaldo took a hot towel and helped Selena wipe her face and hands before leading her to sit down.
"What's the matter?"
Selena raised her eyebrows. "I have a gift for you."
Osvaldo's deep black eyes lit up slightly. "Oh?"
"... But it was accidentally snatched away by someone."
Osvaldo instantly guessed what she was talking about and smiled. "Are you planning to snatch it back
and give it to me?"
From the beginning, Osvaldo knew that Diana, the so-called savior, was a fake.
Even after studying it for so long, Dante couldn't fully understand the "Sacred Pearl". How could Diana
be able to handle it?
It's just that at the time, Selena was determined to leave him, and he had too few chips to keep her. If
he returned the "Sacred Pearl" to her, she would have more confidence, and she might become more
determined to return to the Empire for revenge.
Selena nodded with a smile. "It's been outside for too long. It's time to take it back."
This was already telling Osvaldo openly that she was the head of Lab 717.
But with Dante's younger brother, Osvaldo was probably already aware of this fact, right?
As time went on, Selena realized that she had exposed more than expected in front of this man.
Osvaldo's mood became extremely cheerful, but there was a hint of sinister in his eyes.
His wife's gift was defiled by that thing that wasn't even worth mentioning...
Osvaldo concealed his killing intent and took Selena to have dinner.
...
The next morning, Selena saw Patrick in the living room and was startled.
Patrick looked at her surprised expression and frowned. "Selena, go home today."
Selena instinctively wanted to refuse.
Apart from the fact that the mastermind had not been caught, the Turner family's revenge was already
half done, the return of the research institute, and Oscar's return to Zone Six... all of these were
enough to push the Turner family back to the top.
Assuming nothing unexpected happened, the Turner family's development would be very smooth in the
future.
She paid off the debt to the Turner family.
After the engagement banquet, Selena was ready to confront the Turner family.
She was not their real daughter.
Both Patrick and Oscar knew about it, and she thought they had silently agreed to keep it a secret and
stay away from each other without making it public.
So Selena was somewhat shocked to see Patrick.
Her red lips moved, but no sound came out.
Patrick looked at her rational and somewhat indifferent expression and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
He said in a gentle voice, "Father heard about the incident of Lydia's murder and is worried about you.
He asked me to pick you up and take you home."
Selena rubbed her forehead with her slender fingers and said, "I don't understand. You know that I'm
not..."
"Selena!" Patrick interrupted her and said, "Let's talk about it when we get home."
Selena looked at Patrick's serious expression and then turned to look at Osvaldo behind her.
Osvaldo walked over, hugged Selena in his arms, and kissed her gently. "I respect Selena's decision,"
he said.
If anyone in the Turner family treated Selena even slightly badly, he would cut off their relationship
without hesitation.
Selena said with a smile, "I'll go then."
Looking at the expectant eyes of Osvaldo, Selena said with a smile, "I'll call you if anything happens."
Only then did Osvaldo let go of her.
Selena smiled at him and walked out.
Patrick looked at Osvaldo and said, "The people from the Central City are not kind. Please take good
care of her."
Before contacting the H Country Institute in Central City, no one knew that this girl's true identity was
related to the Federal Central City.
The Central City is the place where global power is most concentrated, technology is the most
advanced, and the economy is the most developed, but it is also the place where war is most frequent
and dangerous.
The fact that this girl came from there meant that only Osvaldo's other identity in H Country's capital
city could protect her.
Others, even if they had good intentions, could not help much.
Osvaldo's lips curled into a cold arc. "She is my wife, and I will naturally take good care of her!"
Patrick looked deeply at Osvaldo and then turned and left.
...
Patrick drove Selena back to the Turner family.
Selena sat in the back seat, seeming bored, and asked softly, "Did the incident of the Central City
Institute buying a murderer to kill the H Country mechanic cause a big commotion over in Zone Six?"
Zone Six even sent people to specifically protect the research institute.
Perhaps it was more due to the orders of the Turner family?
Oscar knew her identity, he knew that the people from the central city were coming for her, and the fact
that they caused such a big commotion might have been intentional support for her. "The research
institute is closely related to Zone Six, so it's natural that they would attach importance to it."
Selena sighed lightly. "I don't understand..."
Patrick frowned. "Selena..."
"Continuing to involve myself with them won't do any good for the Turner family," Selena stated plainly,
"The central city is a more terrifying existence than Divine Love."
Divine Love is just an organization, but the central city is a huge empire.
Selena was the empress for thirteen years, and she worked tirelessly for those thirteen years. No one ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
knows better than her how magnificent and terrible her empire was.
The conflict between her and Lillian started because they were on the same level.
But outside, even the 72 cities of the Federation never dared to offend the central city. This is its unique
prestige! The prestige of a king!
"And besides, it's not fair to the real Selena to do this." Selena added.
A harsh braking sound suddenly rang out, and the car came to a sudden stop. Selena was prepared
and wasn't shaken, she just looked at Patrick in the driver's seat, waiting for him to speak.
After a long while, Patrick's voice sounded a bit dry in the car, "Did your family teach you this?" Selena
frowned slightly.
Through the front and back seats, she couldn't see Patrick's expression clearly, but she could vaguely
sense that he seemed a bit upset.
"Besides teaching you to be strong, just, upright, rational, and cold-blooded, did they not teach you
anything else?"
