Chapter 1116 Selena Knows about the Engagement Selena left the research department with Leia, pondering over the recent situation in the capital. Despite the massive research institute, even the lower-ranking officials had fled, indicating that the power struggle within the Poole family was far from calm as it seemed on the surface. Selena wondered what impact Christ would have on the Turner family once he took over.
Lost in thought about the possible troubles that the Turner family may face next, Selena absentmindedly walked out of the research institute and was suddenly stopped by Winnie.
Winnie glared at Selena with resentment and said, "Selena, you promiscuous woman, you ruined our Poole family!" Selena's eyes turned cold as she raised her head and stared at Winnie, who looked exhausted and anxious, a far cry from her usual proud and beautiful self. Leia, hearing someone insult Selena, broke her cat teaser with a snap and was about to teach Winnie a lesson.
Knowing that Selena's assistant was skilled in combat, Winnie's face turned even paler when she met Leia's icy gaze. She tried to step back in terror but was too slow. Leia seized Winnie's collar like a chick and pulled her close, saying coldly, "What does Madam Selena have to do with the Poole family's affairs?" "If you dare to insult Madam Selena again, be careful that | will cut out your tongue!" Winnie was just a pampered daughter from a rich family and could not handle being frightened. Especially in the recent days, with the Poole family in turmoil, her confidence had been worn down. When she heard Leia's threat, she showed more fear on her face.
She glared at Selena and seemed to want to pounce on her, saying, "How could it have nothing to do with Selena? If it weren't for her, how could my brother do such a rebellious thing?" "It's all because of Selena that the Poole family is in chaos, my grandfather was sent abroad, and so many people... died..." "Selena, why did you have to cback to the capital? If you hadn't returned, | wouldn't have lost my dream and beca laughingstock!" "My family wouldn't have beclike this... it's all your fault!" Winnie seemed to recall sterrifying scenes, and by the end of her speech, tears streamed down her face. If it weren't for this incident, she would never have known that the Poole family, which she had always been proud of, could be such a terrible place.
Her beloved older brother turned out to be such a cold-blooded person.
Leia's face turned cold, and she was about to teach this woman a lesson, but she heard Selena's voice from behind.
"Leia, let her go," he said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeia snorted and reluctantly released her grip.
Winnie stumbled backward a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
Selena approached, her gaze settling lightly on Winnie's face. "Miss Poole, what do you want to say?" she asked coolly.
She had just arrived at the research institute when Vivian and Winnie arrived one after the other to confront her.
Troubleswomen from the capital.
Men are even more troublesome! Winnie looked at Selena's serene expression and hoarsely questioned, "Selena, what kind of love potion did you give to my brother to make him turn against our grandfather for you..." Selena lowered her curled lashes to hide her emotions and said coldly, "I have nothing to do with your brother!" "As for Dexter," Selena paused and looked at Winnie mockingly and coldly, "You should be grateful that Christ sent him away ahead of time. Otherwise, when | catch the evidence, prison will be his hfor the rest of his life!" Winnie's expression suddenly froze.
She knew clearly that Christ had turned against Dexter for Selena and also knew the cause and effect of the matter.
Dexter had secretly tampered with the competition venue at Union University, causing Selena and several military school students to almost die. This was almost no secret in the capital.
They were just waiting for the court to find the evidence and cafter the Poole family.
But no one had expected Christ to take action first.
Recently, many voices in the capital were cursing Selena as a fefatale.
She had already harmed Mr. Anderson, and now even the heir to the Poole family wasn't spared, plus there was Mr. Soo, who had an engagement with her...
Thinking of this fact, Winnie was completely overwhelmed by jealousy and her voice becsharp as she screamed, "Selena, the Turner family had already arranged your fiancé for you since you were young. Why did you have to seduce my brother like a fickle woman?" Leia realized that something was wrong and rushed forward to cover Winnie's mouth, but she was too late.
Selena had already heard it! A puzzled expression appeared on her beautiful face. "What did you say?!" Leia's heart sank, and she broke out in a cold sweat. She turned around and said, "Madam Selena, don't listen to this woman's nonsense. I'll throw her out right away!" Leia covered Winnie's mouth and was about to drag her away.
Selena, however, had already turned cold, "Let her speak!" Leia was stunned.
They were on high alert, guarding against all suspicious people, afraid that Selena would find out about this matter.
But they never expected that Winnie would be the one to break through this barrier in the end.
Leia glared fiercely at Winnie and threw her to the ground.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the Poole family's young lady, Winnie had been spoiled since childhood and had never been roughed up by anyone.
But today, she had suffered at Selena's hands several times, and she hated Selena to death.
She sat on the ground, staring at Selena with resentment, "Everyone in the capital knows about your engagement with Mr. Soo.
How could you not know?! You have a fiancé, but you still dare to cheat on Mr. Anderson and even seduce my brother... Selena, how can you be so shameless?!" Selena's cold gaze fell on Leia's face.
Leia trembled and knew that they couldn't hide this matter anymore. She lowered her head and said, "Madam, about this matter...
you should go ask Mr. Turner." Indeed, everyone in the capital knew about the engagement between the Turner family and the Soo family.
But apart from the Turner family, outsiders didn't know the specifics.
The only person who knew was probably Patrick, who was still alive.
Selena collected herself and walked towards the parking lot. "Let's go to the Turner's." Leia immediately followed, dripping with cold sweat.
Winnie felt unwilling as Selena left like this. Just as she was about to speak up, she saw Leia suddenly turn around, staring at her with a murderous look.
Winnie trembled and ultimately didn't dare to make a sound.
Leia drove Selena back to the Turner family.
Even from the front seat, Leia could feel the anger emanating from Selena.
