Chapter 1040 Distorting Right and Wrong Osvaldo looked at his vindictive wife, feeling pleased that she had finally becaware of her reliance on him. He raised his slender and fair hand and said, "Come." Selena joyfully ran over and hooked her arm around his.
The couple was getting ready to leave when they suddenly heard a clear voice behind them saying, "Selena, wait for me!" Hattie crunning down the stairs in her boots and looked up at Selena with her face. "Selena, can you takewith you?" Selena knew that the little girl was worried that she might be taken advantage of and couldn't help but smile. "Sure." Selena led Hattie out of the villa and unexpectedly saw Leon waiting outside the door. Selena raised her eyebrows.
Hattie wrinkled her delicate nose and asked, "Brother, why are you here?" Leon smiled and opened the car door. "I'll give you a ride." Hattie pouted and got into Leon's car obediently.
Selena keenly sensed something strange, but she didn't show it and got into the passenger seat next to Osvaldo.
And that strange feeling was magnified again when Selena entered the research institute.
She asked Patrick, who had purposely waited for her there, "Why are they all looking at me?" Patrick coughed and his tone carried an indescribable meaning. "Probably because... they worship you." Selena was confused.
Most of the people in the research institute harbored deep hostility towards her. It was already good enough if they didn't reject her, so how could they suddenly change their attitude and worship her? Before Patrick could explain, Principal Marshall walked over and said, "Miss Turner, Mr. Turner, shall we go in together?" Patrick nodded and said, "Let's go, Selena." Selena smiled at Osvaldo and followed the Turner family's group.

Leon held Hattie's hand and said with a smile, "She hasn't married into the Anderson family yet. In this situation, following the Turner family is the right thing to do." Everyone in the capital knew about Selena cohabiting with Osvaldo. But with the interests involved in the marriage alliance between the two families, their stances were completely different.
It was indeed inappropriate to bring up the matter before the marriage.
It had to be said that when it cto matters of principle, Selena was clear about what was public and what was private. Even Leon wanted to sympathize with the young master of the Anderson family.
Hattie rolled her eyes.
She resisted telling Leon that Selena and Osvaldo had already gotten their marriage license. After all, how could it be so easy to announce Selena as a member of the Anderson family without a betrothal gift or a wedding? Osvaldo remained silent and didn't immediately follow.
His assistant cforward and handed a document to Leon, saying, "Mr. Riddle, this was sent by Mr. Jordon two days ago... My young master thinks you should take a look." Leon looked at the document for a moment, and his gentle expression disappeared completely, his eyes becoming completely dark.
Hattie had never seen Leon look so cold before and asked, "Brother, what is it?" Leon took the thing and rubbed Hattie's hair, "It's something important, a child wouldn't understand." Hattie didn't believe it and stared coldly at the bag in Leon's hand. Her intuition told her that it had something to do with Selena.
Leon put the thing in the car, locked the windows and doors, and led Hattie inside without expression.
Osvaldo looked at Leon's back and sneered coldly, "Do you think... Should your Riddle family die?!" Leon paused for a moment but said nothing and almost forcibly dragged Hattie away.
As Selena walked into the conference room, everyone's eyes turned to her. The Poole family, the Shaw family, many important figures from the research institute... almost everyone was present.
Unexpectedly grand.
Selena hid her doubts in her heart, but her face remained calm. Patrick pulled out a chair for her, and Selena sat down calmly.
At the stime, everyone in the conference room was also looking at Selena.
Admiration, excitement, jealousy, gloom... indescribable complexity.
The Turner family had just sat down when Leon arrived with Hattie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMany high-level executives of the research institute were alarmed at the sight of Leon. Swere unsure if Mr. Riddle was here for Diana's incident of harming the Riddle family's young miss or for Selena.
If it was for the former, it would be okay. But if it was for the latter...
Osvaldo was the last to arrive. When everyone saw him, all the families who were hostile to the Turner family felt a sudden panic in their hearts. Almost everyone knew that this rarely-visited crown prince was not here for good.
Christ stared at Selena for a while to make sure she wasn't hurt, then sat back uninterestedly.
The Poole family's hearts skipped a beat when they saw him leave like that.
Selena idly turned a pen in her hand and saw the looks of despair on the faces of the Shaw family siblings and the many top executives of the institute, feeling that her strange feeling had reached its peak.
She turned to Patrick and asked, "Are we waiting for someone else today?" Patrick replied, "Today's meeting is important, and those from District 6 will also participate--" He was interrupted by the sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the conference room.
With a bang, the red wooden door was pushed open from the outside.
The four mechanics from the research department ran in.
Diana, with her face and head covered in injuries, pointed at Selena and shouted angrily, "Mr. Matthews, Mr. Shaw, please arrest Selena immediately!" "During the competition, Selena violated the rules, deliberately injured people, and repeatedly poisoned the mechanics of the research department!" "The injuries on my body are evidence. Please arrest her immediately!" After Diana finished yelling, she took a few breaths and stared at Selena viciously before continuing to roar, "Not only that, Selena also abused her authority, colluded with military school students from Union University, seized credit, and reversed right and wrong!" "We were attacked by a pack of wolves and bears on the way, but those military school students only protected Selena and abandoned all the mechanics of the research institute. If it weren't forat the last minute, making explosives to save everyone, Selena and those military school students would have died in there long ago!" "But Selena not only does not feel grateful, but also beatsup to take credit for herself, sits in the position of the head of the research department, and even bribes the military school students from Union University to secretly plot against us and try to kill us all. But we managed to escape them all!" "Selena holds a grudge and is afraid we will speak the truth, so she beatup, ordered the aircraft to leave without us, and left all the mechanics of the research institute in the forest!" "Mr. Matthews, Mr. Shaw, please join forces with Cohen to arrest this vicious woman!"
