Chapter 1150 He Really C In the hall, Patrick looked down with a pale face, watching the guests coming one after another. The Turner family had experienced both the peak and the lowest point, and they were used to all these by now.
As he saw the Shaw siblings coming in, Patrick's eyes darkened. "Keep an eye on the Shaw family," he ordered.
The credit for the Turner family's successful takeover of the research department belonged entirely to Selena. If anything were to happen to Selena, the leadership of the research department would undoubtedly change hands.
Knowing the ruthless nature of the Shaw family, if it weren't for Osvaldo's presence, Freddie would have probably gone after Selena along tago! The butler watched the Shaw family with memories of their past arrogance and cruelty twenty years ago when they divided the Turner family's power during their most difficult time. His tone was as cold as ice. "Rest assured, young master. No one within the Turner family will have any thoughts about Miss Selena." Patrick withdrew his gaze from Freddie and saw Leon walking in with Hattie by his side. Hattie had a good relationship with Selena and was a frequent guest of the Turner family, so her appearance was not surprising.
As for Leon-- Patrick looked at Leon as he approached and his eyes darkened. Hattie noticed the unusual atmosphere between the two men and waved her hand. "Brother, I'm going to find Selena." Leon rubbed Hattie's head. "Go ahead." As soon as Hattie left, Patrick asked in a low voice, "Mr. Riddle, have you made a decision?" Although the Riddle family did not go after the Turner family in the past, Patrick had no good feelings towards them because of Selena's relationship with Nevaeh. Especially after the truth about Lady Nevaeh's death was revealed, the Riddle family's reputation in H Country had truly plummeted.
Leon smiled, but there was no humor in his eyes. "There's something | want to ask you about." Patrick sensed the anomaly in Leon's tone and frowned. "What is it?" Leon stared at Patrick's eyes. "Have you really not known of her existence all these years?" Patrick couldn't help but chuckle at the question. "Mr. Riddle, do you think that everyone in this world is as cruel and heartless as Daphne and Maddox?" "They were able to watch their own kin being mistreated and abused for almost twenty years, without even asking or checking on them." "They were cruel and malicious towards Lady Nevaeh, and stowards Selena!" Leon remained silent.
Patrick spoke coldly, "If the Turner family had known about Selena's existence early on, maybe | wouldn't have brought her back, but | would have made sure she lived a happy and carefree life." Instead of struggling just to survive.
Leon avoided his opponent's icy gaze, "I'm sorry." However, Patrick's expression did not improve in the slightest. "What do you want to say?" Leon would not ask this question for no reason.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf he asked, he must have discovered or found something related to the Riddle family.
Leon's cold gaze looked through the gates of the Turner family and towards the distant sky. "lI want to ask you... did Lady Selena ever cto the capital when she was a child?" Leon had exhausted all his means to find any clues related to the doll Hattie had found in the Riddle family.
The only thing he could be sure of was that it was indeed something Selena had when she was a child.
Something from Selena's childhood had appeared in the Riddle family, or was left behind in that small, dark cabinet, stained with so much blood...
Every tLeon thought of it, he couldn't help but shudder.
Patrick's eyes flickered with confusion as he stared intently at Leon's face. "What do you mean?" Leon hid the existence of the doll and spoke calmly, "I'm just thinking, if even your Turner family didn't know about Lady Nevaeh giving birth to a daughter, then how did that woman find out... or rather, when did she find out?" No one knew that Nevaeh was pregnant with Selena when she left the capital.
Even Benjamin, who had protected her at the time, probably didn't know.
Lady Nevaeh had hidden Selena's existence very well.
Patrick sneered, "Shouldn't you be asking the Riddle family? The Riddle family knew about Selena's existence earlier than anyone else..." And they also knew about Nevaeh's death.
But they still preferred to dote on Penelope and didn't care at all about Selena.
As for Daphne and Maddox, they were beyond heartless when it cto Selena's situation! In the absence of true bloodline in the Riddle family, Leon did not defend the two elders of the Riddle family in Selena's issue.
He said in a low voice, "| will give her an explanation." The only way to explain it was with his own life.
As for whose life to use to explain, the answer was already obvious.
Patrick remembered the woman who stayed in the Riddle family and a chill crept into his eyes.
During the conversation between the two men, another figure walked in from the main entrance.
The early guests in the hall were surprised at the sight of the newcomer.
Even Leon frowned.
This person had indeed come.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man had just cout of the killing field and still had a hint of blood on him, making people feel scared.
After walking into the hall, he walked straight towards Patrick with steady steps.
Christ smiled inexplicably at Patrick's cold gaze and said, "Mr. Turner, you are really generous. Your sister is only nineteen years old and you agree to let so many men cand snatch her..." Patrick was stung by his words and his tone beceven colder. "Selena's matter has nothing to do with you, Mr. Poole." Christ smiled and turned to drink on his own.
The women around him looked at him with a mixture of fear and greed.
After Dexter was sent out of the country, everyone knew that Christ was no longer just the young master of the Poole family.
He was now the one in control of the Poole family.
Most importantly, this person in control of the Poole family was currently single! It was hard for such a handsman with great power not to attract the admiration and competition of women.
"Why did Mr. Poole cto the Turner family? Especially in this situation?" "What's so strange about this? Don't tellyou don't know who will be coming to the Turner family today!" "Mr. Poole has never been fond of the son of the Anderson family. Mr. Anderson proposed to Miss Turner, and Mr. Poole intervened.
It's just normal to expect something interesting to happen today..." Christ listened to the whispers around him, sneered, raised his head, and took a sip of his drink.
Upstairs, the maids of the Turner family stood aside with various dresses and jewelry.
Selena sat bored in front of the dressing table, playing with her slender fingers while the hairdresser worked on her hair.
Hattie walked in from the door and said, "Selena..." Selena smiled at Hattie and reached out her hand, saying, "Come."
