Chapter 1329 The Man | Like Is Osvaldo Christ stood in front of Selena, looking into the young girl's dark and clear eyes.
He still remembered the first time he saw Selena in Creephia, years ago, with her wilful and domineering attitude and the passionate Tango dance they shared when they first met without concealing their identities.
Christ often wondered if he could have gone up to her and said something, or paid more attention to her, would things have turned out differently? Perhaps they wouldn't have ended up in the current state, with their relationship estranged.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in the world.
He couldn't change the fact that she had fallen in love with another man.
Christ looked at Selena with a dark gaze and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, "Just tell me you want the position of the dean of the academy, and I'll give it to you." As long as she said she wanted it, he would give it to her.
Selena met his hopeful gaze and felt a momentary daze in her eyes.
Even she had to admit that this man really liked her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs a woman who thought from other people's perspective, as the young lady of the Riddle family, she asked herself if she would give up half of the family's power for Osvaldo? Selena had never faced such a choice before, and didn't know if she would ever face it.
But so far, she could say that she couldn't do it because the Riddle family was not her own possession.
It was a legacy built by generations of the Riddle family, with the hard work and sacrifice of countless ancestors, and was burdened with the responsibility of guarding the happiness of so many people.
For most people of the Riddle family, the family's honor was more important than their own lives.
Selena would sacrifice everything for Osvaldo, but she would not recklessly destroy the lives of others for the man she loved.
So, Christ's words made Selena feel shaken.
He was not a man who would lie. If she said yes, he would really give it to her, even if it meant betraying her own family and bearing a bad reputation...
But Selena's hesitation and confusion only lasted a few seconds, and she smiled at Christ. "I refuse.” Christ's hopeful expression instantly turned into a gloomy one, and he said, "Selena!" "1 will fight for what | want with my own abilities,” Selena looked straight into Christ's eyes without any hesitation. "I don't need anyone to hand it to me on a silver platter.” "Mr. Poole, you may be willing to give me these things, but that doesn't mean | can accept them with a clear conscience.” "There's nothing in this world that doesn't come at a cost.” "And the price you want, | can't afford to pay." "So, no matter what decision you make three days later, | will accept it calmly." As for the final outcome, it would depend on their abilities.
Christ gritted his teeth and glared at her. "You heartless..." "The man | love is Osvaldo," Selena looked at Christ and emphasized each word. "I have accepted his proposal, we will get engaged, and then we will get married... and be together for the rest of our lives." Christ's face was so dark that it was frightening.
He stared at Selena, as if he wanted to devour her.
Just when Leia was worried that Christ would take action against Selena, she suddenly saw him take a step back.
He looked at Selena and his expression and tone returned to his usual frivolous and calm manner.
He looked deeply at Selena and said in a low voice, "Selena, | still say that you can't marry that man." Selena smiled. "I decide who | marry, and no one else has the right to interfere.” Christ didn't argue with Selena anymore, and also smiled. "Miss Turner, see you at the research institute in three days." After speaking, he gentlemanly made way for them.
Selena didn't stay any longer and got into the car with Leia.
Leia drove Selena back to the villa.
Through the rearview mirror, she carefully observed Selena's expression.
Selena was resting with her eyes closed on the sofa.
Leia was worried that Christ's words might have affected Selena...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, even she had to admit that Christ didn't seem to be just fighting for her against their young master.
That man seemed to genuinely like Selena.
But Madam Selena belonged to their young master, and no one could steal her away! Leia took Selena back to the villa, watched her enter the study, then turned around and took out her phone to tell Osvaldo everything that had just happened.
She also copied and pasted the message to Luke, which had become a habit.
Afterwards, she called Luke, "Mr. Jordon, did you see the message | sent?" Luke's tired voice came through the phone, "Yes, | saw it." It had to be said that Selena was indeed a ruthless person. At the same time, Leia was also grateful that she had fallen in love with Osvaldo. Otherwise, with Selena's cruel and ruthless nature, it would have been a fight to the death between her and Osvaldo.
Leia heard the fatigue in Luke's tone and asked about Dante, whom he had been treating recently. Although Dante refused to apologize to his lifesaver and had caused harm to an innocent girl, Luke still answered, "He's alive." Apart from not dying, he had received everything he deserved. At this point, they had to thank Kyra. If it weren't for her guilt and obsession towards him, Dante might have been left for dead.
Leia could imagine that if she saw Dante now, she might follow her master and blame Osvaldo for being too cruel.
Leia sensed Luke's lack of enthusiasm and pouted, "Mr. Jordon, do you blame Madam Selena?" Luke smiled, "That was your young master's decision, so if anyone is to blame, it's him." Although Selena was partly responsible, everything they did was ultimately for Dante's sake.
Leia snorted, "Madam Selena did nothing wrong. Dante apologized to his lifesaver but still caused her so much harm. He deserved it..." She said the last part in a very low voice. But Luke still heard it and chuckled. This was the difference in perspective between men and women, and they couldn't argue about right and wrong.
He changed the subject, "You don't need to worry about Dante. Just take care of Madam Selena. There are a lot of things going on in the capital lately, and we can't afford to have her get hurt.” If Selena were hurt, the entire capital would be in chaos.
Leia knew how important Selena's safety was.
