Chapter 1330 Is This a Threat to Me?
Especially at this critical moment, Selena couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Selena returned to her study, picked up a pen, and spread out a piece of paper on the table, marking all of Capital's forces on it.
Then, she divided them and listed all the possible scenarios that the Turner Family might encounter in three days.
She worked tirelessly until dawn and fell asleep on the table.
In the middle of the night, Osvaldo walked in silently from outside the door, gazing at the girl's beautiful side face for a moment
before picking her up and carrying her back to her bedroom.
As the day for the re-election of the dean of the institute approached, the situation in Capital becincreasingly tense.
Selena spent two days arranging everything and was then driven out to relax by the people in the castle who protested against
her.
In early summer, the lotus flowers in the suburbs were in full bloom.
Selena sat in the pavilion, took a sip of tea brought by Leia, and finally relaxed after all the long work.
After coming back to her senses from the long work, Selena remembered the man she hadn't seen in two days and asked Leia
beside her, "What has the young master been up to lately?"
She had been busy with the affairs of the institute these days, but Osvaldo seemed to be even busier than she was.
She could feel that he cback every night, but every tshe opened her eyes, she couldn't see him.
Leia shook her head, "I don't know where the young master went, but Mr. Jordan said earlier that the young master has some
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇturgent matters to attend to, but there's no danger, Madam Selena, don't worry."
Selena was relieved and was about to say something, but she suddenly saw Hattie walking towards her with her hands behind her
back.
Selena beckoned her over and saw her frowning, so she asked, "What's wrong, Hattie?"
Hattie looked apologetic as she looked at her, "Selena, I'm sorry, I..."
Selena was about to ask for the reason, but she lifted her head and saw the person walking behind Hattie, instantly understanding
why the girl was apologizing.
Selena comforted Hattie and said to Leia, "Leia, take Hattie inside and give her something to eat."
Leia looked at the person who followed Hattie with an unpleasant expression, but she didn't dare to disobey Selena's command
and led Hattie away.
The pavilion quieted down.
Selena raised her hand and pointed to the chair opposite her, her tone indifferent without any ripples, "Sit."
Maddox held his cane, gazing at the girl in front of him.
Her appearance resembled Nevaeh's in every way except for the girl's eyes, which were much colder than Nevaeh's, showing a
true stranger's gaze.
An ordinary girl who did not rise to greet her elders and made such rude moves would certainly be considered ill-bred.
But Selena, whether in her actions or in her gaze, was too natural, as if she was born to look down on anyone in such a posture.
Maddox sat down where Selena had designated.
Selena picked up the tea on the table, calmly sipping it while waiting for Maddox to state the purpose of his visit.
Maddox naturally sensed that this was not a patient girl and took the initiative to speak up, "You've been back in the capital for so
long, don't you want to go see the place where your mother used to live in the Riddle family?"
Selena sneered, "I think for my mother, the biggest regret of her life was probably being born into the Riddle family and having
parents like you and Daphne."
Though it was said in a mocking tone, her voice and gaze still conveyed a sense of indifference, as if she was just stating a fact.
Maddox's eyes flickered with a hint of emotion, and he was about to speak, but he heard Selena say, "I really don't understand how
there can be parents as cruel and heartless as you and Daphne in the world."
"Your daughter was kidnapped, and instead of looking for her, you happily raised a replacement who looked almost identical to
her."
"You gave all the care and protection that should have been for your own daughter to that replacement."
"Even after she cback home, you helped that replacement hurt and ignore her."
"You even helped that evil woman try to steal away her beloved man..."
Selena looked at Maddox with a hint of malice in her tone, "Maddox, how can you and Daphne be so disgusting?"
Despite being prepared for Selena's dislike of them, Maddox couldn't control his emotions upon hearing these words.
He tightened the hand holding the cane and said, "Many things are not what you heard, Nevaeh --"
"lI don't want to hear how many grievances and reasons you have," Selena interrupted him coldly, "Because no matter how many
excuses you have, it cannot change the fact that my mother only received harm from the Riddle family and from you as parents."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChange cannot alter the fact that both Nevaeh and Selena have already passed away.
Selena relaxed her body, as if she hadn't seen Maddox's stiff expression, and leaned back on the lounge chair. "Tell me, what do
you want by using Hattie to see me?"
Maddox looked at the unfeeling girl in front of him.
Although many years had passed, he still remembered she who followed Nevaeh back to the capital. She was not like this at that
time.
Treally could completely change a person into a different person.
If he had known that she would cto this point today, he should have paid more attention to this child in those years...
Maddox spoke calmly, "No matter whether you admit it or not, Nevaeh is always my daughter. This is an unchangeable fact."
Selena sneered, "Are you trying to threaten me?"
She propped her slender arms on the table, crossed her fingers, supported her chin, and looked at Maddox with a smile, "I have
been back to the capital for almost half a year, why haven't you investigated that both my foster parents in Creephia have died?"
Maddox looked at Selena, who was obviously smiling but with malice and coldness in her eyes. "They were only two outsiders after
all," whether it was Mrs. Riddle or Alberto, strictly speaking, they had nothing to do with Selena.
Selena slightly widened her eyes when she heard Maddox's words.
After a few seconds, she suddenly laughed.
She supported the armrest of the vine chair wrapped in flower branches and burst into laughter.
After laughing, her beautiful face becserious and she looked at Maddox coldly, "Do you want to try and see if | will be
condemned by the heavens if | kill you and Daphne and uproot the entire Riddle family?"
Maddox's cold and serious face finally cracked slightly.
He stared at Selena's dark and cold eyes...
