Chapter 1436 | Can't Let Her Leave Me
Lady Lauren sat by Selena's bedside, and suddenly heard familiar footsteps behind her.
She turned around and saw Osvaldo.
He was looking at Selena, his gaze unwavering.
Lady Lauren had learned about what happened to the Soo family through her dark guards. Osvaldo had avenged Selena using the
Soo family's century-old heritage and Vivian's life.
Since he declared the downfall of the Soo family, the Anderson family had unleashed its full power and was determined to swallow
up the entire Soo family.
Tonight, the capital was destined to be in turmoil.
Lady Lauren stood up and walked over to Osvaldo, helping him straighten his collar. She spoke softly, "Selena is fine. The two
doctors said she won't wake up until tomorrow at the latest. | will watch over her. Why don't you go rest?"
Osvaldo had been shot and had undergone surgery without anesthesia. If it were anyone else, they would have already collapsed.
His deep, black eyes grew dimmer, and his first reaction was to refuse. "I can't let her leave me..."
"Selena won't leave you," Lady Lauren said with sadness and tenderness. "She's just tired and needs rest. When she wakes up,
she'll forgive you."
Lady Lauren trusted her son's judgment.
She also believed that she wouldn't misjudge people.
Although Osvaldo's punishment of Vivian was too cruel for a normal person to bear, Selena wouldn't be one of them.
As for what happened tonight, Osvaldo would have to explain it to Selena himself.
She knew that Osvaldo wouldn't want Selena to be hurt for no reason, and there must be sthings that were unknown to
others.

Osvaldo didn't want Selena to leave his sight, and Lady Lauren couldn't help but call Benjamin. Benjamin cto the scene in
person and forced people to take Osvaldo away.
The Riddle's building.
Leon received the news about the Soo family as soon as it happened. When he hung up the phone, he rubbed his forehead wearily,
"Another one..."
It had only been a few days, and the Soo family had followed in the footsteps of the Shaw family.
Apart from the Anderson family, the other major families were not peaceful. The whole capital was in chaos, and the smaller
families were trembling in fear, as if they were walking on thin ice.
And for those ambitious noble families, such changes are rare and extraordinary opportunities.
Leon was not surprised by the downfall of the Soo family, as he had known Alfie since childhood. If Alfie had really followed
Nicholas' arrangement and got engaged to Aurelia, Leon would have found it strange instead.
What really shocked him was Selena suddenly spitting blood.
Many people in the capital wanted to harm Selena, but with the protection of the Anderson family and the Turner family, who had
the ability to really hurt her?
The incident in which Osvaldo was nearly plotted against also shook Leon to the core.
No one knows what is really going on with the young master of the Anderson family, but the heirs of several major noble families
have heard something.
Ordinary medicine couldn't do anything to him.
Nicholas must know this fact, yet he still chose to join forces with Vivian.
There is only one explanation: he and Vivian are both confident that the medicine will make Osvaldo give up Selena and choose
Vivian.
Something flashed through Leon's mind as he pondered the matter.
He had a hunch that tonight's events were related to the woman hiding in their Riddle family...
While he was thinking, there was a panicked knocking at the door.
"Brother! Brother!"
Leon frowned and opened the door, seeing Hattie standing there in a panic. She looked up at him and said, "Brother, they said
Selena is spitting blood and unconscious, is it true?"
Leon took his sister inside and touched her icy cheek, saying, "She's fine."
If Selena really had something wrong, Osvaldo wouldn't have left her to retaliate against the Soo family and Vivian.
But this explanation did not comfort Hattie.
She sat on the sofa, extremely frightened but with a glimmer of hatred in her eyes. "It's her who's hurting Selena, it must be her..."
Except for Nicholas, the people of the major noble families, even if they were to choose a partner for cooperation, would never
choose someone like Vivian.
The only person who would resort to such means to disgust people was that woman.
Suddenly, Hattie looked up and said coldly, "I must kill her!"
As long as that woman is not dead, she will stop at nothing to harm Selena.
Leon looked at his sister's eyes, filled with bone-deep hatred, and his brows furrowed. He patted her shoulder.
If this had happened before, Hattie would have long since gone to kill Manny upon hearing that Selena was in trouble.
But at this moment, she was sitting here quietly, neither rushing to disturb Selena nor going to kill Manny.
It's not that she doesn't hate, but she's learned to endure.
Within the Riddle family, there is a split between two factions. Lately, they have been fighting to the death, and if they act

This is the lesson that Leon has been teaching she recently. If she had known how to be patient, she wouldn't have fallen into
Manny's trap, been sent to juvenile detention, or developed mental illness. Manny wouldn't have had a chance to enter the Riddle
family openly.
Leon hugged his sister and said, "Once she wakes up, I'll take you to see her."
Her mother had died, and her father was worse than dead.
Selena and Leon were the only family she had left.
Now, with Leon trapped, Selena unconscious and bleeding, and Hattie's panic and fear, it's easy to imagine the situation.
At the stime, in the capital university, Joanna walked out of the lab wearing a white dress. She stood in the cold wind of the
night and smoked a cigarette quietly. Then she threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with her high heels, before
getting into a car parked by the road.
In the darkness, her smile was alluring and mysterious. "To inviteover... there is a price to pay."
The driver laughed and spoke respectfully, "Master mean no harm, miss."
Joanna sneered, "Let's go."
The car sped away from the university an hour later and stopped in front of a mansion.
A servant approached and opened the car door. Joanna walked into the luxurious living room with grace, holding a cigarette
between her fingers. She glanced at the person sitting on the sofa and asked, "Where's my disciple?"
Cassius approached with gentlemanly manners and lit her cigarette with a lighter. "Joanna, don't worry. Your obedient disciple is
safe and sound."
Joanna exhaled the smoke. "Cut the crap and hand her over."
Cassius looked at Joanna with a hint of regret in his eyes and spoke casually, "lI never planned to do anything to her, but my people
found something interesting while fighting your disciple..."
Joanna lifted her eyes, and the smoke blurred her expression...
