Chapter 918 Leaving is Better Than Staying! Only Selena knew about everything the Riddle family had done to Nevaeh in the past.
Leon had a hint of sadness in his eyes as he rubbed Hattie's head. "She's not in a good mood right now, so let's not disturb her." Thinking of her late mother and aunt, Hattie's tears welled up. "Brother, | really hate Grandma..." The Anderson family.
Selena stood outside the gate for a while, waiting for her emotions to calm down completely before she went to find Osvaldo.
As soon as Selena lifted her head, she saw Osvaldo standing across from her, staring at her for who knows how long.
Selena walked over and looked up at the man's eyes. "I'm ready, let's go." Osvaldo stared at her for a moment before putting his arm around her waist and turning to walk towards the main house.
The Anderson family's estate was quite large. Osvaldo led Selena for about ten minutes and, after turning a long corridor, they arrived at a study.
"Wait for me here," Osvaldo said to Selena.

Selena nodded.
Osvaldo walked in, and after a while, footsteps could be heard outside the door.
The footsteps were neither heavy nor light, but their rhythm was very strong and indescribable.
Selena narrowed her eyes slightly. She felt a powerful danger approaching, and the source of that danger was the owner of those footsteps.
As Selena stared intently, a pale, slender hand pushed open the door.
Even though Selena was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation of amazement when she saw the man in black walking towards her.
At the same time, she confirmed that Osvaldo really didn't look anything like his mother.
The man before her was almost a carbon copy of his father, except that Benjamin's charm might be even more insane for women than his son's.
Although Osvaldo was also handsome and had a strong presence, his age and experience were there, but he lacked the texture that comes with time, something that no one could give him except for time itself.
And this man in front of her, even if you added up Milana, Laurence, Nevaeh, and all the other beautiful women with different styles, couldn't match his enchanting charm.
Benjamin's gaze lightly swept over Selena, his eyes flashed a dark light, and he walked over to the sofa and sat down. Selena took a step forward slowly, and from a distance, she paid her respects as a junior to the other party. Then, she went straight to the point and said, "Please tell me about my father and mother." Benjamin raised his eyes, which were as vast as the starry sky, and stared at the girl in front of him. Selena looked at him directly, her eyes clear, without any fear or hesitation.
Benjamin sneered, "It doesn't look like they could have given birth to someone like you." Selena's heart skipped a beat. Everyone who knew Callum and Nevaeh, or had seen her, either said she looked like Nevaeh, or at most, like Callum. No one had ever doubted that she wasn't Callum and Nevaeh's child.
Benjamin was the only person who raised such a question. Did he see something? Selena's mind raced, but her face didn't show any signs of abnormality. Her gaze swept over the chessboard on the desk, and she suddenly walked up to Benjamin, elegantly crossed her legs, picked up a king chess piece with her slender fingers, and smiled slightly. She placed the chess piece in front of Benjamin with a firm and provocative look in her eyes, "Do you want to play another game with me?" Benjamin's deep gaze locked onto Selena's, and after a moment, he suddenly laughed, with a charm that was almost demonic. He casually put down a black chess piece, "What do you want to ask?" "What do you want to say to me?" Benjamin coldly asked in return, "What do you want to know?" "Is my father really still alive?" "es." "How do you know?" "Ten years ago, someone who had infiltrated the underground city came back with some virus research data." Selena's heart was in chaos, and her hand slowed down for a beat. The next moment, she steadied herself and continued to play chess, "Are there still living people in the underground city?" "Many." "Is Callum in there too?" "Not sure. The data was left behind by him, but the person who went in didn't see him in person." "The research data is at Capital University?" "Capital University is just a decoy. They do have the data, but not all of it. The real core content is elsewhere." Selena was fully focused on the chess game in front of her, her thoughts racing. She came to her senses and asked, "Milana?" During the fragrance competition, Milana had approached her and said that Callum had something at her place, but Selena was only qualified to get it after seeking revenge for Callum.
Benjamin quietly made a move on the chessboard without denying it. Selena was impressed by his boldness and precision.

Everyone thought the information retrieved from the underground dungeon was waiting to be deciphered at Capital University. Even those who didn't believe it only suspected Benjamin. No one would have thought that Benjamin had hidden the information with Milana.
After organizing her thoughts, Selena continued to ask, "If we decipher the virus data, is there hope to save the people trapped in the underground dungeon?" "Theoretically, yes," Benjamin replied in a very flat tone. "The reason the underground dungeon was buried was ultimately because everyone inside became a source of infection. Once that threat is gone, they can naturally see the light of day again." It sounded easy to say, but everyone could imagine how difficult it would be to achieve. But... it's better than being completely hopeless! The underground dungeon incident was the biggest sin of her life. Although Selena never regretted it, if there was a chance for redemption...
Selena heard a series of messages that made her emotions surge, and the killing intent in her chess moves grew stronger and stronger. "What was the Anderson family's stance when my mother was expelled from Capital?" Benjamin stared at the chessboard, a glimmer of light passing through his eyes, still steady as a rock. "Leaving is better than staying!" Selena had guessed this might be the case, so she wasn't surprised by the answer. In that situation, it was of no benefit for Nevaeh to stay in Capital.
Without Benjamin's protection, perhaps Nevaeh would have suffered the same fate as the other members of the Turner family.
If it weren't for Benjamin, neither Nevaeh nor Patrick, and even Selena, who was still in Nevaeh's belly at the time, would have had a chance to survive.
The reason for the question was simply to ask on behalf of the deceased Selena.
"One last question," Selena's black and cold eyes locked onto Benjamin's eyes. "What happened to the Turner family back then?"
