Rebirth To Be The Revenge Queen

Chapter 1676: Why do you suddenly want to meet? In this situation, even if she were to reveal the truth to everyone, the people of Riddle Group Empire would not agree to her killing Lillian.

The best solution is to find another reliable heir for the Riddle Group Empire.

But that method has also been blocked.

The first emperor established strict rules for succession in order to prevent family bloodshed and power struggles. The legitimate heirs are highly valued and respected based on their seniority.

Lillian was even granted the royal surname, which is a rare exception among descendants of the royal bloodline in all these years. And this opportunity was fought hard by her aunt with unknown means against her father's objections.

Unless Selena has biological siblings, no one can replace Lillian.

Selena even thought about persuading her mother to have another child... but she quickly dismissed that idea for fear of being beaten by her father.

Currently, Selena faces an extremely cruel and difficult reality: She must judge Lillian while ensuring that there is someone who can inherit the throne. How can she openly send a noble prince onto the guillotine amidst everyone's opposition? In a quiet study room, Selena sat cross-legged on a cushion and looked up at a hanging scroll with black eyes shimmering with deep contemplation. Beside her sat a silver-haired doll dressed in black robes intently reading a book. The little one flipped through pages with its delicate white fingers; occasionally its face turned red as it excitedly blew pink bubbles from its mouth without noticing it.

Gaia must not be exposed to inappropriate content.

Selena took the book from Gaia's hands and flipped through it, confirming her suspicions. It was indeed a fairy tale, but with sexplicit scenes that were definitely not suitable for a child.

She sighed and turned to Gaia. "Sweetie, this book is not appropriate for you. Daddy shouldn't have given it to you." Gaia pouted but didn't argue. Selena made a mental note to talk to Osvaldo about monitoring what their daughter reads.

As she put the book away, Selena couldn't help but wonder if Osvaldo had been reading similar books lately. They had been married for five years now and things had becstale in the bedroom department.

But that was a problem for another day. Right now, she needed to focus on being a responsible parent and making sure her daughter wasn't exposed to anything harmful.

As they left the study room together, Selena made a mental note to keep an eye on what other books Gaia was reading in the future. She couldn't let her innocent little girl be corrupted by inappropriate content like this again.

"Is there something off about this teaching method?" Selena asked firmly as she closed the book and picked up a copy of Snow White from the shelf. She handed it to little Gaia and said, "Read this instead." Gaia blinked, making sure that her mother wouldn't take the book away from her again, before she started reading Snow White with great concentration.

Selena took the unconventional fairy tale out of her study and returned to her bedroom where she stuffed it into a drawer. As a gust of wind blew in through the curtains, Selena paused for a moment before turning to look outside.

There was another option available to her - finding that big brother figure who might be related to Riddle Group's empire. If he truly was part of their bloodline, then all of Selena'’s problems would be solved effortlessly.

But how could she find him? There was only one other person who might know why Selena left hin the first place - that boy she met at the mercenary hideout. Perhaps if she found him, he could lead her to that big brother figure and reveal his true identity.

Selena walked over to the window and gazed out at Central City's towering buildings in the distance.

She and that man had not crossed paths for many years, like water from two different wells. Selena wasn't entirely sure if he would help her when she approached him.

But...

Whether it was the vague memories of their childhood or the years of standoff between them, her intuition told her that he wasn't someone who would take advantage of her vulnerability.

Despite his reputation for cruelty and power, which had spread throughout the entire alliance, Selena had a feeling that seeking him out would bring an unexpected surprise.

Selena was always decisive; once she made up her mind about something, she wouldn't hesitate to act on it. She turned around and took a step towards finding Gaia but changed her mind again.

Her father wouldn't approve of her trying to find this "big brother," and asking Gaia might raise suspicions. Selena found her computer and messaged Ace of Hearts instead.

YQ: [A, can you helpcontact the person from Dark Empire? | need to see him.] Ace of Hearts: [Why do you suddenly want to see him?] Selena felt there was something off in his tone and furrowed her brows.

YQ: [Can | not see him?] Ace of Hearts: [It's not that... it's just sudden. Weren't you avoiding any connections with him before? Why change your mind now?] YQ: "I've encountered a difficult situation and | have to see him for a reason, and... | owe him a favor, so this is the perfect opportunity to repay it." Ace of Hearts: "... If you're sure, I'll contact the other party right away..." From the tone of the other person's voice, Selena sensed something strange.

She remembered her past with that person. They didn't have any grudges against each other; at most, when she was young and ignorant, she tricked him once...

After so many years had passed, he should have gotten married by now. He wouldn't be so petty as to hold onto a grudge for so long.

Selena coughed nervously.

She was only five years old back then. Confessing anything would not really matter to him...

Suppressing her uneasiness deep down inside her heart, Selena sent out a message.

QY: "Yes please contact him for me." After thinking about it smore, she added another sentence. "If he doesn't want to seethere's no need to force it." She had heard about his power before and his coldness was well-known too.

To him she was just someone who he met briefly when they were young; it was possible that he wouldn't want to waste tseeing her.

Ace of Hearts: "... Don't worry. He will definitely meet with you." Selena just hoped that when she saw him in person she wouldn't be frightened by what awaited her.

Once everything was arranged properly Selena closed her computer and left the bedroom.

At the stime, at the International Medical College, White Crow received a phone call.

Ace of Hearts" magnetic voice cthrough the line, gender indistinguishable. "Il have sgood news and snot-so-good news. Do you both want to hear it?" White Crow calmly took off his gloves. "What happened to her?" "She decided to go see him in person,” Ace of Hearts seemed to bite his lip. "When | investigated her fiancé, | warned her... but when she met that man, she becexceptionally tolerant..."
