Chapter 271 A call from the big shot The scream startled Selena and she sat up straight, her eyebrows furrowed, "What's wrong?" "Nothing." Leia shook her head at once and looked at the phone number with wide eyes and an expression as if she had seen a ghost, filled with the implication that she was in danger.
Selena watched the young girl's expression carefully, nervous, panic, fear, and some awe, but nothing dangerous.
She put her mind at peace and leaned back, "Pull over, you can pick it up outside." Selena guessed that it should be someone calling and she was not at liberty to answer.
"No, no, no." Leia shook her head again, scratching her hair, her voice inexplicably shaking, "This call is..." Selena was curious, "What?" Leia pulled over and held the vibrating phone in her hands with some inexplicable deference.
She turned around and plopped down on her seat, handed the phone to Selena in front of her, eyes wide open, she said in a shaky voice, even the hands were shaking, "Madam, you... you pick it up. " Selena was puzzled, "Wants to talk to me?" She wondered what kind of person could make a top killer like Leia look like that.
Leia was going to nod, but reason made her shook her heard, "No, wants to talk to me." As if she would burst into tears the next second, and a sense of awe radiated from within, "But Madam, | am afraid, | dare not answer it." Selena's eyes were steeped in concentration.
This heartfelt awe can only be attributed to the fact that the caller had been a great psychological influence on the young girl.
Associated with the identity of Leia, Selena instantly made up some very cruel and bloody images in her head.
Her expression turned colder as she stretched out her hand, reaching out to take the phone from Leia's hand and pressing the answer button, her tone dripping with a touch of coldness and warning, "I don't care what you are, Leia is my person now, it's not your turn to decide what happens to her." It is an ancestral "good quality” of the Riddle family to be protective of their people, and she has always been a protective person since she was a child.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeia had been with her for so long, and if someone came after Leia, she would naturally have to defend her.
Leia was watching with wide eyes, when she heard Selena's words, her large eyes turned wider.
She stared at Selena, her mouth open wide, she frozen into a wooden stump.
The person on the other end of the phone, too, seemed to freeze for a moment, and then a low, cold voice came out, unusually powerful and deep, "Who are you?" Selena listened to the voice and her expression became grave.
There is a certain kind of person whose voice, even if it is only a voice, is enough to make one feel dangerous and scary.
And - The scent of this voice gave her such a familiar feeling.
That is the true unjustified dignity and arrogance of a man in authority.
He is a dictator, a man of his word, who cannot be offended in the slightest.
No wonder Leia is so scared.
He is definitely a character.
Thinking of this, Selena answered as the corners of her lips curled into an icy smile, "Selena Riddle." The person on the other end hung up the phone.
Selena was a bit surprised that it was so easy to hang up.
Was it so easy to get rid of troublemakers? But since the other party is not pursuing the matter, she naturally won't pursue it.
Selena gave the phone back to Leia, but when she looked up, she saw Leia staring straight at her, dumb as a wooden stake.
Selena frowned and tapped her shoulder, "What's wrong?" Leia was slapped back into consciousness and subconsciously took the phone, then sat back in the driver's seat with a trance- like expression and drove the car to Olympus Group.
Selena looked at Leia's distracted expression and thought she was scared, so she spoke out to comfort her, "It's alright, next time if he calls, you can tell me." Leia had a numb expression on her face, Selena was not sure if she had heard her.
Until Selena walked into the lift, Leia only came back to her senses completely, followed by a terrifying scream, "Ahhhh - Mr.
Jordan, help!" Selena took the lift to the top floor and pushed open the door to meet Luke's eyes. Luke looked at her with a complex look that could not be described as worship or admiration.
Selena's eyebrows knitted together, "Mr. Jordan, what's wrong?" Luke's face twitched and he pressed his brow, as if trying to suppress some emotion, "Mrs. Anderson, when you go back at night, you'd better give your husband a call." See if he is still alive.
For so many years, even as a son, Osvaldo had never contradicted his father.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmToday, he made a rare phone call, only to be provoked by his own daughter-in-law.
According to that big shot's nature, he certainly didn't care to find trouble with Selena, a weak woman.
But Osvaldo, not so much.
Luke's expression crumbled when he thought of this oops incident, and he looked at Selena as if he was looking at some rare animal again.
It would be nice for an ordinary person to arrive in front of that big shot, even if they just heard a voice, and not be so scared that their legs went weak.
This is the first person who has dared to be so bold.
Selena knew something wasn't quite right, but she didn't perceive any danger, so she didn't have much energy to delve into it, "Okay." She was going going to call Osvaldo at night.
Seeing that Selena seemed to be truly unaffected, Luke didn't know what expression to put on besides admiration.
He knew Selena wouldn't come to him if there was nothing wrong, and immediately set his expression straight, "What's wrong?" Selena pressed his brow, "I want to ask about the charity foundation.” Luke walked behind her desk and pulled out a document and handed it to her, "All the paperwork is almost ready, so when Breaking Ground is on air, we can officially launch.” Selena picked it up and turned it over to read it.
Nevaeh used to be the biggest philanthropist in Creephia. Selena used to be carried by her mother to see the children in the orphanage when she was a child, so this became a wish of Selena's heart.
When she leaves Creephia in the future, the Riddle family's company is left to Osvaldo, but the money earned from the film, and the funds she has on hand, will be put into a charity foundation to help children who have the same experience as little Selena.
As Selena was reading intently, her mobile phone vibrated.
She looked down and saw the word "husband" flashing on the screen, and with an involuntary smile on her face, she pressed the connect button.
