Chapter 1373 Selena is angry! Selena smiled sweetly and said, "Shopping for clothes." Osvaldo looked into her dark eyes with a deep gaze and caressed her hair for a long time. "You little rascal, grow up quickly.” Selena could hear the husky tone in his voice and blushed.
Osvaldo held her down for a while before reluctantly lying down beside her, holding she in his arms and turning off the light at the same time.
The room became dim.
Under the faint light, Selena rested her head on the man's arm and rubbed against him, closing her eyes contentedly.
After the situation in the research institute stabilized, Selena had some free time and focused all her thoughts on her engagement with Osvaldo.
Leia walked in with an invitation card and looked extremely agitated.
"Madam Selena!" Selena, who was sitting on a rattan chair reading a book, put it down and looked up to see the girl with eyebrows that were not eyes that were not eyes standing in front of her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelena couldn't help but chuckle. "What's wrong?" Leia handed the invitation card to Selena in an angry manner. "The Soo family just sent a special envoy to deliver this to Madam Selena.” Selena raised her eyebrows.
Unless there were special circumstances, Leia would not have brought the invitation card to her.
Selena's slender fingers took the invitation card and scanned it, her eyes showing a hint of confusion. "A stone gambling tournament?" Leia held her chin with both hands and squatted in front of her, saying angrily, "The Soo family is one of the oldest families in the capital, with a heritage that has been passed down for many generations. Nine out of ten antique, jade, stone gambling, and Feng Shui industries in the capital belong to them..." Selena played with the invitation card with her slender fingers and stared at the girl.
Even if the Soo family was rich, it wouldn't make Leia so angry.
Leia was angry as she said, "Madam Selena, | received another piece of news in addition to this invitation card.” "The Riddle family will also participate in this stone gambling tournament.” "Moreover, there is news that Nicholas intends to announce the engagement between Hattie and the Soo family's second young master at the tournament.” Selena's eyes grew cold.
Nicholas invited all the major families in the capital to participate in the stone gambling tournament, and Maddox announced that he would attend in person. This was clearly a blatant demonstration against the Turner family.
Given the Turner family's style, they naturally wouldn't pay attention to it. But not only did Nicholas send her a separate invitation, he also threw out such news! Everyone knows that Cameron was previously in a relationship with Penelope. However, Penelope was arrested on charges of treason and could never have the chance to marry into the Soo family again, even if she had the opportunity to come out in this lifetime.
Losing the opportunity to marry an adopted daughter was naturally irrelevant to the Soo family. But once the target changed to the real Miss of the Riddle family, Nicholas was bound to hold on tightly.
Hattie is thirteen years old this year, and Cameron is nineteen, which is also acceptable in terms of age. And Cameron watched Hattie grow up and said that they were childhood sweethearts. In the eyes of everyone, this marriage was justified.
Selena threw the book in her hand on the table and stood up in her slippers. "Those two damn old things!" Leia looked at her frosty eyes and asked urgently, "Madam Selena, what should we do now?" If Selena did not recognize the Riddle family, then for the Riddle family, she was just an outsider. If she openly intervened in the Riddle family's affairs, she would be accused of exceeding her authority. But according to Selena's relationship with Hattie, she would never ignore this matter.
Nicholas and Maddox's move was forcing Selena to recognize the Riddle family. But once Selena recognized the Riddle family, it would be easy for Maddox and Daphne to manipulate her.
Selena smiled coldly, "Since Nicholas has invited me so warmly, how can | refuse?" Leia trembled at her smile.
There was a certain inexplicable light in Selena’s eyes as she said, "l just happen to need a wedding ring, so I'll pick one at the gambling conference... I'm sure I'll find a satisfactory one." Lady Lauren told her yesterday that the woman needed to prepare a wedding ring for the man at the engagement ceremony.
Selena was worried about this matter, but she just received an invitation to the Soo family's gambling conference...
Leia looked at Selena's inscrutable eyes and suddenly felt relieved. Selena was angry! Once Selena was angry, those who made her angry would usually have a hard time.
Leia smiled smugly. Those two old things used even children to bring down the Turner family. It was simply inhumane! If they could make a fool of themselves on the spot, it would be quite a spectacle! On the day of the jade gambling event, the jade market operated by the Soo family was unusually lively.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn preparation for today's event, the Soo family had sent someone to Myanmar to bring back a batch of raw stones.
Perhaps because they lost face at the Turner family's last event, the Soo family deviated from their usual low-key approach and made the scene extremely grand and luxurious.
Nicholas arrived at the venue early with all the Soo family's children and grandchildren.
The spacious hall was filled with all kinds of raw stones, seemingly endless at first glance. Although there had been many exciting events in the capital recently, most people were just bystanders. Rarely did opportunities arise to get rich quick like this one.
To select good raw stones, guests invited by the Soo family had arrived early. Ordinary jewelers gathered on the first floor, while the elite of the major families were arranged on the second floor. Alfie stood at the door, graciously welcoming guests, while Aurelia stood by his side, exuding elegance and charm, looking like a couple.
The truth about the engagement between Mr. Soo and Miss Turner was already well-known to the public. While people cursed Nicholas for his shamelessness, there were also sympathizers for Alfie. Now, seeing the exceptionally beautiful and poised Aurelia by his side, people's emotions were complex. However, this was still the Soo family's turf, and even if they disliked it, no one dared to openly say anything.
When the Riddle family arrived at the venue, it caused a great stir.
Not only had Maddox come, but even Daphne, who had been claiming illness and bedridden, had also come. The woman supporting Daphne, who was intimately walking beside her, was not the familiar Mrs. Riddle.
Looking at Kaitlyn, who was held by the woman's hand, and Hunter, who was guarding the mother and daughter, the identity of the other party was about to be revealed.
A chorus of gasps echoed in the hall.
"Mr. Riddle, didn't he nail this woman to the position of the third party? How does she have the qualifications to appear so openly at this event?!" "Mr. Riddle and Mrs. Riddle haven't shown up, and the ones who came were the third party and her family. The Riddle family is really..."
