Chapter 956 Take It Back


    Chapter 956 Take it Back


    Osvaldo''s eyes were dark, and the corner of his mouth was hooked, appearing both pleased and


    satisfied yet dangerous.


    "Heh..." He made a light sneer, as if he couldn''t be bothered to mention it.


    Selena instantly detected a different meaning in his tone, and she looked at him with slightly widened


    eyes. "You..."


    Osvaldo looked at her with anxious and expectant eyes, his smile bing wider and his voice gentle


    and doting. "The ''Sacred Pearl'' is the most advanced weapon in the mechanical field today, and its


    owner will always be the one who stands at the top."


    Selena''s heart skipped a beat. "Then why are you..."


    Allowing Diana to take away the ''Sacred Pearl''? Treating her as a ''life-saving benefactor''?


    Osvaldo stared at her with a touch of bitterness on his face, his voice tinged with a hint of darkness.


    "Because my true life-saving benefactor refuses to show herself. She would rather let me take the


    credit thane forward and tell me that she saved me..."


    Selena''s fingertips trembled, and a sense of numbness surged through her heart.


    Osvaldo forcefully lifted her chin and looked deeply into her eyes, his tone full of warm encouragement.


    "Selena, are you angry with me about something?"


    Selena trembled uncontrobly, even at the nerve endings. For a moment, she realized that the man in


    front of her seemed to have already seen through everything.


    This sudden realization caused panic to well up inside her, and she instinctively took a step back.


    Osvaldo''s gaze remained fixed on her. He reached out and embraced her by the spine, pulling her into


    his arms, and lowered his head to capture her gaze. His tone was oppressive, as if he was


    heartbroken. "I won''t force you."


    "I''ll wait until Selena is willing to tell me everything about you."


    Selena''s eyshes trembled, and her eyes were filled with confusion and panic. "I..."


    Osvaldoforted his little baby, whom he held close to his heart, and spoke tenderly. "Selena, don''t


    be afraid."


    No matter what happens in the future, he will use everything he has to cherish and protect her.


    Selenay on his shoulder, gazing at the capital shrouded in the misty rain, her eyes filled with a misty


    fog. Biting her lip, she whispered, "Are you really... not going to leave me?"


    In her distant memories, she vaguely remembered that more than one person had said simr things to


    her.


    But in the end... they all left.


    Stanley said he was her sword and her shield, but she didn''t see him until the moment she died.


    It seemed that there was someone else who had said this to her.


    Who was that person?


    Selena''s expression became bewildered, and her gaze unconsciously began to search again.


    Osvaldo noticed that she was absent-minded and a hint of coldness shed in his eyes. He tightened


    his embrace, causing Selena pain. She snapped out of her thoughts and looked up to meet the man''s


    dark eyes. He smiled at her, his voice gentle and chilling. "Yes, I will never leave you."


    Selena stared at the man for a moment, then suddenly smiled sweetly and took the initiative to kiss him


    on the lips for the first time. A cool breeze blew, and Selena suddenly sneezed.


    Osvaldo''s long, straight eyshes trembled as he reached out to open the car door and picked up


    Selena, settling her in the warm passenger seat. Then he drove back to the vi.


    After cing Selena on the sofa, Osvaldo was about to leave when Selena suddenly reached out and


    grabbed his sleeve. "Actually... you don''t have to withdraw the investment from the institute..."


    Although Selena wanted to beat Diana to death for her shameless behavior, in the eyes of others,


    Diana''s "life-saving grace" to Osvaldo was genuine. Until Selena exposed Diana''s theft, she was still


    the benefactor of Osvaldo.


    If Osvaldo withdrew his investment now, it would make him seem ungrateful. Furthermore, as the


    eldest young master of the Anderson family, changing his mind publicly would make him lose face.


    Osvaldo reached out to touch her forehead and ordered the maid who was waiting nearby to prepare a


    bowl of warming tonic before saying in a low voice, "She upset you."


    Selena heard him mention the tonic and instinctively shrunk her neck. "I''m not sick..."


    Osvaldo squatted down in front of her, bending his lips. "If you don''t drink the tonic, you''ll have to take


    medicine."

    Selena quickly shook her head and backed away. "I just sneezed. I''m not sick. I don''t need medicine..."


    Medicine was a nightmare from her childhood, just the thought of it made her shudder.


    Osvaldo smiled. "I promise it won''t be bitter."


    Selena made a bitter face and shook her head, refusing to give in. "I can take a hot bath! Rest early! Or


    go find the ck and white magpies..."


    Because of this sudden interruption, Selenapletely forgot about persuading Osvaldo to withdraw


    the investment.


    At the same time, there was the Research Institute and the Research Department. Diana looked at the


    person standing outside the door, her face turning pale. "What do you mean, Mr. Pearce?"


    James had an indifferent expression and couldn''t be bothered to exin. "Get to work."


    The person following him took a step towards the warehouse.


    Suddenly, chaos erupted in the Research Department. The group of people standing behind Diana,


    who looked up to her, began to shout.


    "The Anderson family promised to support the Research Department. How could they go back on their


    word?"


    "Diana is Mr. Anderson''s savior. These resources were promised to us. How could you suddenly take


    them back?"


    Diana looked at the scene, her temples throbbing, and her face showing an uncontroble ferocity.


    The Anderson family promised the Research Department a valuable sum of resources because of her


    "life-saving grace."


    It was precisely because of the Anderson family''s favor, coupled with these resources, and the "Sacred


    Pearl," that Diana had achieved her current high position.


    Just as she was about to take over as head of the Research Department, the Anderson family


    suddenly wanted to take back all the resources.


    Wasn''t this a tant humiliation? They were also telling everyone that Diana''s so-called "life-saving


    grace" was nothing to the Anderson family.


    Those who had previously feared her because of this rtionship would no longer be afraid of her. And


    the group of mechanics she had previously crushed would surely take this opportunity to fight back!


    Diana was infuriated at the thought of possibly losing her current position of adoration and ttery. She


    shouted with red eyes, "Stop all of you!"


    "These are the resources Mr. Anderson promised me with his own mouth. Why are you taking them


    back?"


    "I am his ''life-saving grace,'' and this is what I deserve!"


    Unfortunately, no one at the scene listened to her no matter how loudly she shouted.


    James stood indifferently on the side, emitting a chilling aura, obviously not willing to exin anything.
