Chapter 1304 Engagement Invitation But thinking that this was Osvaldo's place and these people wouldn't harm her, Selena just went along with it.
Ophelia helped Selena do her hair and then took out some exquisite jewelry from a plate and put it on Selena. Finally, she picked out a white long dress for Selena to wear.
After dressing up, a group of people crowded around the bewildered young girl and walked out of the door, squeezing her into the flower carriage parked at the gate.
At the same time, at the Riddle family.
Leon looked deeply at a newly delivered invitation on the table.
There was a knock at the door. Leon opened a drawer, put the invitation in it, and then walked over to open the door.
Erica walked in with a bowl of hot chicken soup. "You've been in the study for a whole day. What are you busy with?" To be precise, Leon's mood had been very abnormal since the Baxter family's banquet. Erica could probably guess why.
The aftermath of the Baxter family incident had already been dealt with. Fiona and her family were sentenced to death. Mrs.
Baxter was sentenced to ten years in prison. Constance, the mastermind behind the crime, was taken away by Osvaldo and her whereabouts were unknown, but it was not difficult to imagine that her fate was not good.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe Baxter family's encounter with Kyra was exposed, their reputation ruined, and they became a despised existence. Coupled with Constance's cruel treatment of Dante and the Anderson family's intentional or unintentional indulgence, many aristocratic families took the opportunity to strike at the Baxter family.
This once-famous second-rate aristocratic family had lost its prestige in just half a month and was on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for Diego's sake, the Baxter family would have been expelled from the capital aristocratic families.
The encounter of the Baxter family's true young lady reminded many people of Nevaeh twenty years ago.
At the same time, the Riddle family was also frequently dragged out to be criticized. Many people speculated that the young lady of the Turner family would target the Riddle family next.
Leon took the chicken soup his mother handed him and drank a few sips before saying in a calm voice, "| just received an invitation from the Anderson family." Erica raised an eyebrow, "The Anderson family?" Leon placed the bowl on the table, "The Turner family is getting engaged to the Anderson family. The engagement ceremony has already been set, and it's in a month." Erica was shocked.
The Turner family getting engaged to the Anderson family...
This news is enough to make everyone in the capital feel insecure.
Everyone who harmed the Turner family and Nevaeh in that disaster probably won't be able to sleep at night.
This includes the Riddle family.
Erica looked at her son's tired eyes and frowned, but she didn't ask much. She just gently reminded him, "You can't neglect your health even if you're busy. When you're young, you might not feel it, but when you reach my age, you'll have to pay the price." Leon smiled wryly, suddenly remembering that he hadn't seen Hattie in a few days and asked, "How's Hattie been lately?" He's been too busy, so he had to entrust she to Erica's care.
Erica helped Leon tidy up his clothes and said in a warm voice, "She's doing fine. Someone from the Anderson family came this morning and took her away. | don't know what they're doing." Leon remembered the engagement invitation sent out by the Anderson family.
According to that man's character, if even the Riddle family could receive this invitation, then the Poole family and the Soo family certainly wouldn't be left out.
Thinking of Christ and Alfie's thoughts on Selena, Leon felt a headache coming on.
The capital was already chaotic enough, and the engagement between Selena and Osvaldo was just forcing these men to confront their conflicts.
There will definitely be more trouble ahead.
Leon suppressed some emotions and looked at Erica, suddenly remembering the doll Hattie found at the Riddle family. He asked, "Did you meet Aunt Nevaeh at the Riddle family fifteen years ago?" Something flickered in Erica's eyes. "Why are you suddenly asking this?" Leon stared at his mother for a moment and smiled. "Dear Erica, I'm your son." Erica crossed her arms, her expression turning from a smile to something less friendly. "Before | was your mother, | was a police officer.” In other words, unless Selena herself came to ask, no one could get any information out of her.
Not even her own son.
Leon hadn't spoken yet when he heard Erica say, "Besides, you're not just my son, you're also Issac's son, and you bear his surname.” "What if you and your father have different ideas from me? Then I'll be the one who loses.” Leon was speechless.
Erica snorted, "The old lady brought this upon herself. She should bear the consequences.” "You and your father have already helped her clean up enough messes. Filial piety is not a problem in itself, but if you help the tyrant, don't blame me for disowning you!" Daphne was confused, and there might be a reason why the Riddle family indulged her.
Selena did not recognize the Riddle family as relatives, which was entirely the Riddle family's own doing in Erica's opinion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeon hesitated to speak, but Erica had already turned and left with a hint of coldness in her back.
It seemed that Erica knew something about the doll.
Once Selena found Erica, she might remember what happened at the Riddle family more than a decade ago...
The Poole family also received this invitation. Christ's angry gaze fell on the exquisitely designed and festive invitation card on the table, which made him laugh in anger.
That man did it deliberately! He knew Christ's feelings for Selena, yet he dared to send this right in front of him...
What a blatant provocation! Or perhaps that man was proclaiming his sovereignty to everyone.
He was telling everyone that Selena was entirely his! Christ picked up the invitation card from the table and tore it to shreds, his face showing a bloody smile.
The Soo family also received the invitation.
Unlike Nicholas, who was angry and scared, Alfie stared at the invitation for a long time and lowered his eyelashes.
Nicholas smashed a teacup in anger, "The Anderson family has gone too far!" In Nicholas's view, if Osvaldo hadn't interfered, Selena would have married Alfie obediently and become his daughter-in-law, using her abilities and the Turner family's reputation to help the Soo family rise to new heights.
Alfie didn't speak, and his face showed no emotions. He silently turned and left the study.
Mrs. Soo was waiting with the maid not far away and saw Alfie coming out. She immediately greeted him, "Alfie, | asked the kitchen to cook some soup for you. Do you want some?" Alfie's seductive phoenix eyes fell on Mrs. Soo, and he said emotionlessly, "You should go rest." After that, he walked away on his own.
