novelxo Chapter 1549 Showdown
Chapter 1549 Showdown Lillian remained true to form, observing silently from the sidelines.
Stanley's gentle voice continued, now with a hint of coldness, "Besides her, there's one more person coming.” "Who?" Selena asked.
"Robert Hall," Stanley replied.
Selena's smile froze instantly, her face turning icy white in an instant.
Osvaldo could clearly feel Selena's coldness at the sound of that name, her body radiating endless malice.
Recalling the truth behind Selena’s death that he had once investigated, Osvaldo shuddered at the thought, feeling a horrifying bloodlust emanating from her.
He held Selena close, his hoarse voice trying to soothe her, "Selena, don't be afraid." Feeling the warmth emanating from the man, Selena regained her composure.
She kissed Osvaldo before turning to Stanley, saying, "She's quite bold, sending Robert here. She must not be afraid that I will make him die here!" On the other end of the phone, Stanley's voice seemed to freeze for a moment before he spoke, "Selena, I'll be waiting for you at the estate.” Before Selena could refuse, he hung up.
Selena stared at the phone in shock, feeling that something was off with Stanley's emotions. He was usually the one who waited for her to hang up before he did, but this the hung up first.
Was it because of Robert? She put away her worries for the tbeing, hugging Osvaldo's neck and burying her face in his shoulder as she spoke softly, "As I told you before, I lost my life due to an accident... but it was not entirely an accident. It was more man-made. My cousin was jealous ofand plotted against me, causing my death.” "And the one who truly tried to kill me..." Selena’s dark eyes flashed with a bloody light, "was Robert Hall!" Selena would never forget the cold and ruthless knife that was plunged into her heart from behind.
Nor would she forget the look in Lillian's eyes at that moment, when she said, "Selena, you're a great queen, but you shouldn't be alive for the sake of the empire." The crof regicide was not one that just anyone could bear.
But Robert willingly took on this heavy burden for Lillian's sake.
To Lillian, he was like Stanley to Selena, an indispensable presence that no one could replace.
How could he dare to cand find her, knowing she was still in the capital... Selena's eyes turned frosty, a dark smile creeping across her face.
But it seemed like it wasn't all that surprising.
Besides Lillian and Robert, who else could have killed her?! In the light, Beatrice was visible while Robert was hidden in the dark.
It seemed that Lillian had already made up her mind that she was the person Lillian had killed once before.
Selena's eyes narrowed, and she looked up at Osvaldo and said softly, "Givesmore time." She seemed unsure how to express herself. "I don't want to be with you when I have other things on my mind. It's not fair to either of us." Selena's attitude towards relationships was always serious and pure. Just as she liked Osvaldo, she would never have any extra involvement with other men.
When she was with Osvaldo, she gave him her heart and all the dedication and energy she could give to a partner.
Osvaldo looked at Selena's absent-minded expression and whispered, "You little rascal, has anyone ever told you that you're scum?" Many people have said so.
She thought she was pretty scummy too.
Osvaldo looked at her embarrassed expression and rubbed her cheek. "I'll remember this debt..." Selena's face was suddenly blushing. She knew he had agreed, and she held Osvaldo's hand tightly, "You're coming with me!" With her identity and situation already revealed to Osvaldo, she didn’t plan to hide anything from him anymore.
Osvaldo took Selena to the mansion from yesterday. Stanley cout to greet Selena and saw Osvaldo with her.
Perhaps due to the engagement celebration, Selena was wearing a bright red dress, and the ambiguous red marks on her neck were especially prominent.
Thinking of the voice he heard on the phone just now, Stanley clenched his fist.
At this moment, Osvaldo noticed something wrong with Selena’s neck and took off his coat to wrap it around her shoulders, covering her up.
Selena didn't understand what was going on.
Osvaldo smiled and whispered in Selena's ear, "It's chilly tonight." Without much thought, Selena held his hand and walked up to Stanley, smiling at him. "Stanley." Stanley's gaze fell on their intertwined phones for a moment before he spoke gently, "Selena, I have something to say to you in private.” Selena glanced at Osvaldo and smiled, "I have already told Osvaldo everything, there's no need to keep anything from him." Stanley's eyes darkened with a hint of blame, and his voice becstern, "Selena!" Selena met his gaze with a hint of guilt. After all, telling Osvaldo the biggest secret went against her upbringing, and Stanley's anger was understandable. She was about to explain when Osvaldo spoke first.
He held Selena’s waist and looked at Stanley with a gentle smile. "If you're worried that I will harm Selena, there's no need. I love her, and she's more important tothan my life. I won't allow anyone to hurt her, let alone covet her." That last sentence was a clear warning! It was the first tSelena heard Osvaldo say he loved her. She turned to him, and he kissed her hair, saying with a soft chuckle, "If you want to hear more, I'll tell you when we get back.” Selena blushed slightly and murmured, "Okay." Stanley noticed her infatuated expression and had to use all his self-control not to lose his temper on the spot. His gaze flickered over Osvaldo's face before he turned and walked inside.
Selena sensed that Stanley was upset, but she thought it was because of her stubbornness that had angered him. She held Osvaldo's arm and followed him.
Inside the hall, Stanley went to get water for Selena, and Osvaldo had already taken Selena's cup out first. When Stanley cback with the water, Osvaldo had already taken Selena to sit on the couch.
He looked at the cup in Stanley's hand and smiled, "Selena is not feeling well..." MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
