Chapter 1380 Why don't you try it? "If she can't open a single piece of jade, itll be a big joke!" Aurelia smirked, picked up a sign from the basket and hung it on the stone in front of her.
On the second floor private room.
Thanks to Selena's methods to deal with the Research Institute and the Shaw family, Nicholas was not as relaxed as he seemed to be. He leaned on his cane in the main seat and looked at the opposite side.
On the LCD screen on the wall, the scene in the hall was being played. The Soo family was worried that Selena might cheat, so they installed this and kept an eye on her.
But after watching for a while, it seemed that Selena was really just strolling around with Leia, and her stone picking was completely arbitrary. Some stones were pointed from a distance, and some were approached closely, carefully examined for a long time, and then turned and left. There was no pattern at all.
As for cheating-- Selena didn't even make a single phone call from beginning to end, let alone cheat.
The main thing about gambling on stones is luck and skill, and there is no possibility of cheating.
After confirming that Selena did not play any tricks, Nicholas relaxed his body and turned his head to look at Alfie standing next to him, his face serious, "Aurelia is a lady from a reputable family, talented and beautiful, not inferior to Selena. Are you not satisfied?" Alfie stood by his side, well-groomed, like a finely carved jade.
He had been looking at Selena before, but when he heard Nicholas’ reprimand, he lowered his eyelashes and remained silent.
Nicholas was furious at the sight of his grandson's behavior.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe still remembered what that fortune teller had said years ago. Alfie's marriage would affect the rise and fall of the Soo family.
Therefore, Nicholas was extremely cautious about Alfie's marriage.
Aurelia's background was not on par with Alfie's, but her destiny was good, a rare phoenix girl's destiny.
Nicholas searched for a long time before finding such a phoenix girl's destiny.
That's why he made an exception and tolerated a woman with a humble background to become his grandson's wife.
But Alfie's obvious lack of cooperation made Nicholas anger rise. He slammed his cane heavily on the table, "Don't you understand the situation now?!" "Oscar won't spare the Soo family, and he will retaliate sooner or later! Have you seen the fate of the Shaw family? If the Soo family doesn't resist, the Shaw family's today will be the Soo family's tomorrow!" "At times like this, put away all your frivolous thoughts. If I find out that anyone dares to say one thing and do another, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Nicholas" eyes turned bloodshot with a hint of anger, scanning all the Soo family descendants present.
Cameron and Sienna were seeped with goose bumps by the viciousness in his eyes.
Even Jayden in Mrs. Soo's arms were scared and crying.
The private room was silent as a tomb.
After seeing everyone obedient, Nicholas sneered, "Sienna’s marriage has been settled, with Bentley Gibson. Prepare her for it." Sienna's face suddenly turned pale. Bentley was notorious for his cruelty and love of hitting women, which was not a secret in the aristocratic circle.
However, Nicholas didn't even ask for her opinion and unilaterally decided on her marriage.
Trembling, Sienna lowered her head, feeling cold all over, and didn't dare to say a word of rebellion.
Mrs. Soo, who was being stared at by Nicholas, tightened her grip on Jayden's hand and respectfully replied, "I understand, father." Sienna was her husband's illegitimate daughter, Mrs. Soo didn't care much.
After arranging Sienna's marriage, Nicholas turned his gaze to Cameron and said, "Miss Riddle is much better than the one you liked before, both in appearance and background. Cameron, don't make me angry!" Cameron raised her head and looked pale at Nicholas. "Grandpa, Hattie is still a child..." "She's thirteen, not too young," Nicholas replied calmly. "Besides, it's just an engagement for now. It's not too late to get married when she's twenty." In other words, the Soo family only needed this marriage as a link between the Soo and Riddle families, and they didn't care when Hattie and Cameron got married.
Cameron smiled bitterly, "Mr. Riddle and Miss Turner won't agree..." "The Riddle family is not in charge of Leon!" Nicholas' face turned dark. "As for Selena, it's none of her business as an outsider!" Cameron knew she couldn't change Nicholas' mind and looked at Mrs. Soo with pleading eyes.
Mr. Soo always listened to Mrs. Soo. If Mrs. Soo could convince him to intervene, there might be a glimmer of hope.
But Mrs. Soo avoided Cameron's gaze. She didn't like Penelope, who was an adoptive daughter, and thought she wasn't good enough for Cameron.
But if it were a real young lady from the Riddle family, she would be happy deep down.
Although Hattie's biological mother passed away early and she was not favored by her father, who can blame the Riddle family for having a rare bloodline in the direct line? Everything about the Riddle family is destined to belong to Leon.
Leon could never mistreat his cousin.
Cameron marrying Hattie would not be a loss.
Cameron understood Mrs. Soo's meaning, his last hope shattered in his eyes, and he looked at Mrs. Soo for a moment, finally closed his eyes and turned his gaze away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMrs. Soo breathed a sigh of relief.
In her opinion, although Cameron couldn't forget Penelope for the time being, Hattie looks so much like Penelope and was raised by Cameron. Once Hattie grows up and they spend some time together, he will eventually understand that she is doing this for his own good. The barrier in Cameron's heart will naturally disappear.
Mrs. Soo was too confident and didn't notice the coldness in Cameron's eyes after he was completely heartbroken.
Mrs. Soo was not worried about her marriage to Cameron.
What worried Mrs. Soo the most was Alfie.
This child is different from his brother. Especially after the failure of his marriage with the Turner family, Alfie's silence sometimes makes Mrs. Soo uneasy.
If he does not accept Nicholas arrangements and marries Aurelia, Nicholas will definitely not give up easily.
Mrs. Soo looked at Alfie, who was unusually silent, with a hint of worry, and tried to persuade him, "Alfie, Aurelia is beautiful and gentle, | like her very much, why don't you... give it a try?" She knew that Alfie liked Selena.
But that was impossible...
Selena is already the daughter-in-law of the Anderson family.
Both the Anderson family's power and Osvaldo himself are entities that the Soo family cannot afford to provoke.
Alfie raised his eyelashes and revealed those cold and sharp eyes.
