Chapter 1583 Liar
"Selena daring to do this can only mean that she has absolute certainty to thwart your assassination plan."
Robert's lip curled, about to speak, but the woman's voice interrupted him, unhurried and steady, "Robert, I know what you're
thinking, but remember, your task is to buy time."
"Mr. Soo refuses to return to the Empire because of Selena. For me, this is a rare opportunity. I need such a chance to stabilize the
situation.”
"Now listen, your next task, regardless of the success of the assassination plan, you cannot die before I go to the capital."
"Even if you fail, I will rescue you from Selena."
Robert suddenly smiled, "Even at any cost?"
"Yes," the woman's voice exuded absolute confidence and dominance, "I need you to witness, step by step, the glory and honor of
the Empire achieved with me."
A glint appeared in Robert's eyes. "Miss Lillian, you are the most suitable person for that position."
Compared to the current Queen who took a day off for the sake of "beauty," the woman on the other side, who could discard all
emotions for power, was more suitable for that position.
Lillian chuckled, "Whether it's Selena or Stanley, their biggest weakness will always be emotions."
If Selena didn't value emotions, she wouldn't have died on the battlefield. If Stanley didn't value emotions, she wouldn't have
stubbornly stayed in the capital, giving Lillian an opportunity.
Now, there was another person...
Emotions were indeed the most weakening factor.
However, she would never let such weakness threaten her. She only needed two things: power and ambition.
Lillian smiled, her voice still calm and gentle, "Furthermore, ensure she returns safely, just like you."
The "she" referred to could absolutely not be Beatrice.
"Yes, Miss Lillian."
The person on the other end of the call hung up.
Robert stood in the darkness, looking at the hung-up phone, recalling Lillian's words.
"For the sake of a man, 'Her Majesty’ even set aside official matters. In Robert's eyes, such behavior had already lost the principles
of being a sovereign."
But at the stime, he envied that man.
Because the woman he liked would never waste even a second for him.
In the small villa, after dinner, Osvaldo took Selena for a walk in the garden. Due to the rain, Selena wore Osvaldo's trench coat,
while Osvaldo held an umbrella, shielding her from any drops.
Walking arm in arm, Selena whispered, "This is the first tI've been so bold..."
But she had no regrets. On the contrary, she felt a bit delighted.
It turned out that being delayed by beauty was such a wonderful thing.
Osvaldo looked at the smiling expression on her face and tightened his grip on her hand. "Selena, from now on, you don't need to
be so tired."
If his little wife continued to live in such tension and busyness, he might as well not have a wife.
In Osvaldo's selfishness, he didn't want Selena to return to that position.
"That position, standing high, bears too much."
He preferred her to stay by his side, doing whatever she pleased. But Selena cfrom there. If she didn't go back, he would feel
like it was a disrespect to her. Osvaldo was equally reluctant. Selena seemed to sense the man's dilemma, looking up at him and
saying, "Husband."
Osvaldo stopped, looking down at her. "Hmm?"
Selena raised her hand, caressing his cheek. "After we return to the Empire, there might not be a chance like this for a short while."
Osvaldo's lips curled, and he leaned down to Selena's ear, whispering, "There will be."
Everything she wanted, she would have. Selena didn't catch the depth of meaning in Osvaldo's words. She had guessed that
Osvaldo's identity was not simple, but so far, she hadn't speculated about his connection to the Federal Empire.
After all, in the Federal Empire, there was a big shot with whom she had a connection since childhood. Others... wouldn't dare to
easily get involved.
Despite being the head of Lab 717, even when she was in power, she didn't choose to confront that person head-on. In any place,
where there was light, there would be darkness. Although the other side had great influence in the Federal Empire, they never
crossed the line. Under his restraint, even the dark forces in the Federal Empire reached an unprecedented level of submission.
Selena, therefore, turned a blind eye to the existence of the other side. The two had maintained a harmonious and tacit
understanding for over a decade.
In Selena's plans for after returning to the Empire, there was a moment when she even thought about cooperating with the other
side. However, this idea was quickly killed by Selena. She had a "criminal record" in the eyes of the other side. When she was
stranded in H country, the other side didn't make things difficult for her, which, in Selena's view, was the best situation.
If she actively provoked that big shot, she might really stir up trouble.
Osvaldo watched Selena daydreaming, apparently thinking about something inexplicable and happy, and his brows furrowed in
confusion.
Selena rarely daydreamed, especially when she was by his side. Probably out of a sense of compensation, her thoughts were
always focused entirely on him.
For the first time, she suddenly ran off to think about something else while talking to him. And judging from her expression, she
was probably thinking about a certain person.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Osvaldo's eyes. He raised his hand and gently touched Selena's face, asking tenderly, "What is
Selena thinking about?"
Selena coughed nervously. "I'm thinking about a certain... arch-enemy."
Osvaldo raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
Holding Osvaldo's arm, Selena looked up at him and asked, "Osvaldo, if someone lied to you when you were a child, and you met
her when you grew up, would you be angry?"
Osvaldo recalled the past when he was swindled by a certain little scammer, fell silent for a moment, and said, "It depends on what
she lied about."
If Aarav hadn't helped him win back his wife, and considering the relationship between Selena and that certain person, Osvaldo
thought he would definitely not take revenge but might play a trick on her.
After all, back then, he was like a fool, holding a bunch of flowers every day, waiting for that little scammer to listen to his
confession for a whole half month, but never hearing a true word from her!
Selena's eyes glanced around. "... What if she lied about everything? Just... never said a truthful word..."
Osvaldo: "..."
That situation would be a bit serious.
Selena blushed and buried her face in his arms, saying softly, "It wasn't intentional..."
