Chapter 692 Have you been to the capital?
Selena didn''t reject the idea, in fact, she thought it was necessary. She was initially not very interested

in the confrontation with Isabel over the ownership of the red jade, but Osvaldo''s words made Selena''s
anger rise, feeling that the lesson she had given Isabel before was too light.
She should have exposed this woman earlier and killed her!
"You said the red jade belongs to you?" Selena sneered, looking at the red jade lying in Christ''s palm
with an arrogant and elegant expression. "Your mother was a poor dancing girl who lived by attaching
herself to the powerful. What right does she have to possess such a treasure?"
"The Collins family may be a second-rate aristocratic family, but Michelle, as a daughter of the family,
does not have anything like this. As a illegitimate daughter, where did you get such a priceless
treasure?"
Selena''s sharp questioning voice was like a knife stabbing straight at the most vulnerable point of
Isabel''s heart.
Isabel was dripping with cold sweat, and the look in Christ''s eyes beside her made her feel like her
throat was being cut.
She racked her brains but still couldn''te up with an answer, only screaming, "Who do you think you
are? You have no idea who your father is, and your mother was long ago kicked out of the house. You
don''t even have the qualifications to set foot in the capital. What right do you have topare with
me?"
"I grew up in the capital and have had the red jade for over a decade. You have no proof, but you dare
to im that my things belong to you. You are the most shameless person!"
After Isabel hysterically yelled, she turned around and grabbed Christ, her tears falling fiercely and
urgently. "Brother, Selena defamed me. My red jade is really what my mother left for me. I don''t know
where my mother got it, but I''ve been wearing it since I was a child. It''s my thing..."
Anyway, her mother had died long ago, with no evidence to prove anything. As long as she refused to
admit it, what could Selena do?
In any case, she had been with Christ for more than a decade, and she couldn''t believe that a few
words from Selena could outweigh their years of feelings.
Christ stared at her with dim eyes, his face expressionless.
Isabel looked at Christ like this, feeling extremely uneasy in her heart. Her face was pale, as if she was
deeply saddened. She cried out pitifully, "Brother, I saved you, how can you not believe me..."
Selena frowned. She realized a troublesome fact. Even if she forcibly took back the red jade without
evidence, she would not be able to justify herself.
This discovery made Selena feel a faint sense of resentment in her heart. Isabel and Leah, these two
women, were both shameless. Clearly, they had robbed Selena''s things and hurt the kind and innocent
girl. After the truth was revealed, they not only showed no remorse, but also had the nerve to portray
themselves as victims...
Selena stared coldly at Isabel, seeming to have nothing to say.
Isabel felt bit pleased to see Selena quiet down. She had already thought of thousands of reasons to
defend herself in her heart, fearing that the truth about the red jade would be exposed. After all, the red
jade couldn''t speak, and her owner was the one who was alive, so who was to say what was right?
Sure enough, she seeded in making Selena feel silenced and resentful. The feeling of having
something that belonged to her seized by someone else, while she was powerless to do anything, was
even more unbearable than not knowing anything.
But Isabel''s satisfaction did notst for a few seconds, and it was quickly extinguished. Christ, who had
been quiet all along, raised his head and fixed his sharp gaze on Selena, asking a question that made
Isabel tremble with fear, "Have you been to the capital?"
Isabel''s blood turned cold in an instant.
The red jade couldn''t speak, but if Selena mentioned the details of the confrontation when she saved
Christ that year, everything would be over. Isabel copsed to the ground, looking ashen.
Selena tilted her head slightly and spoke without hesitation, her tone slightly cold but extremely firm,
"No."
Christ''s pupils contracted.
Osvaldo''s gaze was dark, looking at Selena''s delicate face.
Isabel originally thought she was doomed. When she heard Selena''s words, she was briefly confused,
but then a glimmer of light rose in her defeated eyes.
She excitedly grabbed Christ''s clothes, crying tears of joy, and said, "Brother, do you believe me now?
Selena is lying. She never went to the capital. The red jade is mine. Everything that happened today is
her trying to frame me..."
Christ seemed to not have heard her words, as he stared fixedly at Selena with an uncertain
expression in his eyes.
Isabel narrowly escaped death, but she didn''t pay attention to these things at all.
Selena''s unexpected denial made her feel alive again.
She didn''t know why Selena denied it, but Selena''s denial not only saved her life and solved her
worries, but also made her the ultimate winner in this life-and-death situation.
Isabel was ecstatic and immediately used Selena sharply, "Selena, you''ve never even been to the
capital, so how can you say that my ruby belongs to you? On what basis?"
"You covet my fiancé and want to get rid of your reputation as a third party by forcing me to give you
the ruby. You want to openly possess the engagement that should belong to me. You''re such a
scheming and malicious woman. Why don''t you just die?"
Since Leah said that the ruby belonged to Selena, Isabel had not felt so relieved for a long time.
The extreme ups and downs made Isabel''s already crazy nerves even more abnormal, causing her to
ignore Osvaldo''s increasingly cold gaze and Christ''s abnormal gloomy expression.
Selena nced at her and said, "You idiot!"
Isabel''s face twisted, and she felt that she had be the rightful owner of the ruby, with no more fear
or guilt towards Selena.
She looked up at Christ and no longer showed any caution, but instead looked at him with resentment.
"Christ, I saved your life. You promised to protect me for a lifetime. But Selena disabled my leg, ruined
my face, and ruined my reputation. Why don''t you help me get revenge?"
Christ slowly lowered his head, staring into her eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "Oh? How
do you want me to help you get revenge?"
Isabelughed, unable to hide her arrogant and malicious nature any longer. "Of course, kill her! No,
killing her is too mercy for her! I want to disable her leg, ruin her face, ruin her reputation, and then
throw her to the slums to be a prostitute, making her wish she were dead!"
Selena''s gaze became ice-cold, and she slowly lifted her eyshes to stare at Isabel. "Isabel, did I
ever tell you that my name is engraved on my ruby?"
