Chapter 980 Promise
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 hade 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 ck iron
gate. He thought of the sentence Selena had said to her earlier, and a cold look shed across his
eyes.
...
After 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 be emotional for no reason. The only times she had be
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 rm.

Leia drove Selena to the Rose Manor on the outskirts of the city. Selena got out of the car without even
ncing 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 nted roses for Nevaeh over the past twenty years, only for it to be another
woman''s lifelong heartache.
At the end of the rose garden, Mna sat barefoot on a rattan chair, ying 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''vee to
retrieve something my father left with you."
Mna 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."
Mna clenched her teeth and red 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.
Selena walked up to Mna, 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?"
Mna''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?"
Mna choked up. "Is he really..."
"As a reward for helping the Turner family keep the most important thing safe, I promise you," Selena''s
tone became even gentler as she felt her trembling hand, "that I will make sure you see a living Callum
soon."
Mna''s tears burst forth uncontrobly. 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.
Mna quickly regained herposure, wiped away her tears, and stared fiercely at Selena. "If you
dare to deceive me, I will kill you!"
Selena''s gaze was firm. "Any promise I make will never be broken."
Mna snorted but didn''t stand up. Instead, she lowered her head and removed a ne from
around her neck. The pendant rested on her chest.
Mna ced the ne 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 ne and smiled slightly at Mna. "Thank you."
As if afraid that she would change her mind, Mna 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?
Mna 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
Mna''s voice behind her, "Be careful."
Selena responded lightly, "What?"
Mna 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
Mna 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 ne in her hand and got into the car.
...
Leia took Selena to the Capital Universityboratory, where she handed the ne found from
Mna to Julian with a solemn tone. "I''m handing them over to you!"
