Chapter 980 Promise Soon, only Daphne and Manny, who was holding her arm, remained on the scene.
Daphne's face was pale, and she was trembling with anger. She had come here today to ask Selena to release Penelope and stop targeting the Riddle family. Although Selena had hinted that the crisis at the Riddle family had been resolved, she still refused to release Penelope! Daphne was unwilling, but had no choice but to turn around and get into the car. Suddenly, she remembered that Leon had hung up on her call earlier, and couldn't help feeling uneasy. "Let's not go back yet, let's go check on Hattie," she said.
Manny spoke softly, "Madam, the hospital called earlier about Ache and Penelope. It seems that their condition is not very good..." Daphne became anxious, "Let's go to the hospital!” The driver frowned, "But Madam, Miss... " Daphne interrupted, "With Leon watching over her, what could possibly happen? Let's go to the hospital now!" Although the driver was reluctant, he had no choice but to obey as a servant.
As they were about to get into the car, Manny turned around and looked at the tightly closed black iron gate. He thought of the sentence Selena had said to her earlier, and a cold look flashed across his eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter Selena finished breakfast in the hall, she took Leia and left. Once she was gone, Patrick's cold eyes turned to Osvaldo.
Selena was not a person to become emotional for no reason. The only times she had become emotionally unstable in the past were when she found out Callum was still alive during the International Perfume Competition, and when she was poisoned.
This time...
Thinking of Selena’s dislike for Daphne, Patrick suddenly had a very bad feeling.
Osvaldo stared at Selena's back until she was out of sight before turning his gaze back to Patrick. He said coldly, "Tell Leon to choose between the Riddle family's elders and the Riddle family!" Patrick's eyes suddenly widened in alarm.
Leia drove Selena to the Rose Manor on the outskirts of the city. Selena got out of the car without even glancing at her surroundings, and walked straight into the estate.
Although it was winter, all she could see were roses in full bloom, spreading their fragrance everywhere.
As Selena's gaze fell upon the red roses, she thought of the rose garden at the Turner family mansion, where Callum had planted roses for Nevaeh over the past twenty years, only for it to become another woman's lifelong heartache.
At the end of the rose garden, Milana sat barefoot on a rattan chair, playing with a deep red rose in her hand. There were several empty bottles scattered messily on the table in front of her.
Selena walked up to her and stopped a meter away, speaking politely, "Miss Poole, I've come to retrieve something my father left with you." Milana raised her gaze, her eyes icy. "You haven't avenged him or the Turner family yet!" Selena smiled. "I will avenge every one of them." Milana clenched her teeth and glared at Selena, crushing the rose petals in her hand. The virus data was the only thing Callum left with her, and it had been her only source of support during her 20-year wait. She knew that as long as she didn't give it up, Selena would kill her before she could take it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelena walked up to Milana, took her hand stained with red rose juice, and stared into her eyes. She sighed softly. "Miss Poole, you must have heard that my father is still alive, right?" Milana's eyes immediately filled with tears, and even her lips trembled. "He..." Selena gently looked at her. "Isn't it good to trade a dead object for a living person?" Milana choked up. "Is he really..." "As a reward for helping the Turner family keep the most important thing safe, | promise you,” Selena's tone became even gentler as she felt her trembling hand, "that | will make sure you see a living Callum soon.” Milana's tears burst forth uncontrollably. She cried until she couldn't control herself.
Selena looked at the weeping woman in front of her and finally connected her to the rumor of the beautiful and pure Katie. Could loving a man really cause such a drastic change in a person? A trace of confusion passed through Selena's eyes.
Milana quickly regained her composure, wiped away her tears, and stared fiercely at Selena. "If you dare to deceive me, | will kill you!" Selena's gaze was firm. "Any promise | make will never be broken." Milana snorted but didn't stand up. Instead, she lowered her head and removed a necklace from around her neck. The pendant rested on her chest.
Milana placed the necklace in Selena's palm, her fingers trembling. "This is Callum's hard work. You must not let him down..." Selena tightened her grip on the warm necklace and smiled slightly at Milana. "Thank you." As if afraid that she would change her mind, Milana waved her hand in annoyance. "Just go." Selena turned around and started walking out. Halfway through, she suddenly stopped and didn't look back, but asked, "Miss Katie, what kind of person is Kiera?" It's said that a woman's greatest enemy is always her love rival. Could Kiera also be considered Selena's love rival against Katie? Milana was initially stunned, but then disgust filled her face as she replied, "A disgusting lunatic!" Selena nodded to indicate that she had heard her. She took a few steps forward and then heard Milana's voice behind her, "Be careful.” Selena responded lightly, "What?" Milana sneered, "Dexter is a selfish person. He always resorts to any means necessary for the Poole family. Christ is his hand- picked heir, but now he openly defies him for you and damages the interests of the Poole family... he won't let you go!" Selena thanked her and walked out of the estate gate. Before getting into the car, she looked back one last time. Perhaps it was because she had suddenly lost hope after guarding it for so many years, Milana was sitting with her legs hugged, quietly looking up at the sky. Even from this distance, one could feel her emptiness and loss.
What would Callum do if he knew that a woman had loved him so steadfastly for so many years? Selena clenched the necklace in her hand and got into the car.
Leia took Selena to the Capital University laboratory, where she handed the necklace found from Milana to Julian with a solemn tone. "I'm handing them over to you!"
