Chapter 1117 Go and Call off the Engagement It was a well-known fact that Selena had a fiancé, but it was being kept from the person concerned - Osvaldo. Being with Selena meant that he was in a relationship that was not officially recognized.
While Selena didn't care much about her reputation, Leia knew that Selena cared a lot about Osvaldo's reputation.
Having a fiancé meant that Osvaldo was a third party, and it was easy to imagine how she was feeling at this moment.
Driving the car, Leia tried her best to make herself inconspicuous. After all, she was also involved in the deception. If Selena were to demand an explanation, she would be the first to be held accountable.
In the back seat, Selena lowered her eyelashes slightly, contemplating the sudden engagement proposal from the Turner family. At the stime, she understood why Patrick had been giving her the feeling that he had something to say recently. And then there was Mrs. Soo, who had cto visit for no apparent reason...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelena guessed that something was going on, but she never thought that this matter would be related to her.
The engagement proposal was clearly not something that Patrick had arranged.
As the current head of the Turner family, he should have had the power to cancel it directly, but instead, Mrs. Soo had cto her openly.
This alone indicated a lot of problems.
Selena asked in a low voice, "What kind of family is the Soo family?" Leia answered in a hushed tone, "The Soo family is the most low-key and secretive aristocratic family in the capital. Their power is obviously stronger than that of the Shaw family, but they never fight for a place among the four major families." "Madam Selena, | heard that the Soo family has many rigid and harsh family rules that outsiders cannot understand. Even now, they still live in ancient manors and preserve many ancestral rites." Leia carefully introduced the Soo family, based on what she knew.
Selena listened, her face revealing no emotions, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Leia thought Selena would ask about Alfie, but she didn't expect that Selena would stop talking after asking about the Soo family.
Leia naturally didn't rush to help Selena introduce Alfie and drove quickly.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the Turner family's gate. Selena walked towards the gate, and Leia immediately took out her phone and called Osvaldo.
The Turner family's servants were both shocked and happy to see Selena return. The butler greeted her, "Miss, you're back!" This Miss from the Turner family had been away in the capital for two months, and her stay with the Turner family was few and far between. The people of the Turner family felt guilty and grateful towards this obedient, sensible, and admirable young girl.
Selena looked around and the butler noticed she was looking for someone. He said, "The young master isn't here today. He went to medical school. Miss, do you need to talk to him about something? I'll call him as soon as he comes back." Selena shook her head, and her tone was indifferent, "No need. I'll talk to him when he gets back." Then she went upstairs to her room.
Although Selena had instructed the butler not to call the young master, she rarely cback to the Turner family, and the butler sensed something was wrong, so he immediately called Patrick.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHalf an hour later, Patrick knocked on Selena's door. Selena walked out wearing slippers, her hair scattered behind her, and she seemed tired. When Patrick saw her, he frowned, "What's wrong?" Someone had called him about the research department, telling him that Selena had solved everything perfectly. But her current appearance clearly indicated that something else was bothering her. Thinking of the recent activity from the Soo family, Patrick's heart sank.
Selena went back to her room and cout with two small chairs, handing one to Patrick and sitting on the other. It was obvious that she wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation.
Patrick looked at the fragile and petite girl in front of him, his heart softening. He obediently sat across from her and asked softly, "Do you know about it?" Selena nodded, "Miss Poole told me." Patrick's face turned cold, "What does the Poole family want from you?" The Poole family's mess wasn't completely resolved yet, and Christ didn't have the energy to target Selena.
They were guarding against Christ and let the Shaw family go, but they didn't expect Winnie, who was unremarkable, to take advantage of the situation. They ultimately pushed this matter to Selena's attention.
Patrick's face was cold, but he thought that since the young girl already knew, there was nothing to be restrained about. He looked at Selena's dark eyes and asked, "What do you think?" Selena asked, "Who arranged the engagement?" In theory, when Nevaeh left the capital twenty years ago while pregnant with Selena, hardly anyone in the capital knew. In such a situation, how did the Turner family have the energy to arrange this engagement with the Soo family? Even if she assumed that the Turner family arranged the engagement for Selena, hoping that the Soo family would keep her safe during the disaster and give her a reliance, didn't the Soo family fail to fulfill their promise? Moreover, the second possibility was very small. After all, Callum had clearly entrusted his wife to Benjamin back then. If it was really just to find a protector for Selena, wouldn't Benjamin's son be more reliable? Therefore, Selena couldn't figure out the origin of this engagement.
Patrick was silent for a moment and said, "According to the Soo family, the engagement between the Turner family and the Soo family was arranged by their grandfather himself." "And, it was not arranged for you specifically, but for the Turner family's daughter." Selena raised her head, looking more surprised, "The Turner family's daughter?" Patrick explained, "The Soo family has a very ridiculous family rule that is aimed at Mr. Soo. If the Turner family has a daughter, she must marry Mr. Soo. If the Turner family has no daughter, Mr. Soo will end up alone." Selena's eyes widened slightly. Even if she didn't know who Mr. Soo was, hearing about such an absurd family made her feel a bit sympathetic towards them.
But this thought was fleeting. Because what was trapped by this engagement was not only Mr. Soo, but also herself who occupied Selena's identity. As long as this engagement existed, she and Osvaldo would have to bear the stigma every day.
Selena didn't care about herself, but how could she let her good husband suffer injustice with her? Selena's eyes beccold, and she said directly, "Let's break off the engagement with the Soo family." Patrick was not surprised that Selena would say such things. This girl was decisive, and if she knew that breaking off the engagement was the only choice, she would do it.
But...
Patrick looked at Selena's warm and beautiful face, and sighed slightly, "Selena, do you want to meet Mr. Soo?" Patrick and Alfie were cousins. Although they were not particularly familiar with each other, the Soo family's eldest son had a good reputation in the capital, and strictly speaking, he was indeed...
