Chapter 1062 Engagement


    Chapter 1062 Engagement


    Selena nervously pinched her ear as she talked on the phone.


    She didn''t dare let the young master know that the daughter of the Turner family had already been


    abducted by a man.


    After hanging up, Selena continued to focus on her drawing.


    ...


    In the capital, at the Turner family mansion.


    Patrick ced his phone on the table and looked out the window at the garden, letting out a slight sigh.


    The old butler stood beside him and asked, "Young master, Miss Selena...?"


    Patrick asked coldly, "Has Mrs. Soo not left yet?"


    "No," the old butler looked worried, "She has been waiting downstairs."


    Patrick turned and went downstairs.


    In the hall, Mrs. Soo was sitting on the sofa. When she heard footsteps, she looked up.


    Patrick spoke indifferently, "Mrs. Soo, Selena will not marry into the Soo family. The engagement


    between our families is over."


    Mrs. Soo''s gentle expression turned cold in an instant.


    She stood up from the sofa and said, "Patrick, you should know that if it weren''t for my sister''s sake, I


    wouldn''t havee here alone."


    Patrick sneered, "Then Mrs. Soo, you should also understand that from the moment the Soo familyid


    their hands on the Turner family, the sisterhood between you and my mother, and the friendship


    between our families, ceased to exist."


    Mrs. Soo frowned, "The Soo family was at fault in the past, but at that time, even if the Soo family did


    not act, someone else would have."


    "Their methods would have been even more ruthless than the Soo family''s!"


    Patrick''s face grew colder, "So I have to thank you for not wiping out the Turner familypletely?"


    Mrs. Soo choked up.


    The fact that Patrick was still alive and attending medical school was not because of the mercy of the


    Soo family''s men, but because of the Anderson family''s efforts.


    Mrs. Soo knew that the Soo family was in the wrong in this matter, and there was no justification for it.


    She softened her tone, "Let''s not talk about the grudges between the Turner family and the Soo


    family... Alfie is your cousin. Can you bear to see him live a lonely life?"


    Patrick''s tone was icy, and he didn''t back down, "Alfie''s life should not be traded for Selena''s


    happiness."


    "If she marries Alfie, she will be happy," Mrs. Soo straightened her expression. "You know what kind of


    person Alfie is. He can only marry Selena in this lifetime, and he will treat her well no matter what."


    "I can also guarantee that Selena will not suffer any grievances in the Soo family."


    Patrick''s tone grew even more indifferent, "Selena doesn''t like him."


    Everyone knows that Miss Turner and the young master of the Anderson family have fallen in love.


    Mrs. Soo''s expression turned somewhat ambiguous. "Patrick, Selena doesn''t know about this. Don''t tell


    me you don''t know what kind of person the young master of the Anderson family is?"


    "No girl would be able to ept such a cold and ruthless man. As her brother, how could you give your


    sister to such a man?"


    Patrick''s eyes showed a hint of mockery. "Lady Lauren married Benjamin. Mrs. Soo, can you honestly


    say that she''s not happier than you?"


    Mrs. Soo''s face suddenly turned pale.


    Lady Lauren''s happiness was evident to the entire capital.


    Benjamin doted on her to the extreme.


    He even refrained from having any more children after they had a son, in order to spare his wife the


    pain of childbirth.


    This caused therge Anderson family to only have Osvaldo as their sole heir in this generation.


    Moreover, there had never been any extramarital affairs or illegitimate children in the family.


    Compared to other aristocraticdies who had their own difficulties, Lady Lauren was truly showered


    with love and affection.


    Mrs. Soo''s eyes showed a hint of envy, as she spoke softly, "Patrick, whether you like it or not, the


    engagement between the Soo family and the Turner family cannot be annulled."


    And as long as this engagement exists, Selena and Osvaldo cannot be together openly.


    Patrick''s eyes grew cold. "Mrs. Soo, if you really want what''s best for your son, then you should find a


    way to abolish the strict and outdated rules of the Soo family, instead of going to the Turner family and


    sacrificing another girl''s happiness to pay for your son''s future."


    Mrs. Soo trembled all over, but quickly regained herposure. "I''m just here to inform you


    beforehand that when Selena returns from Creephia, our patriarch wille to visit personally. Please


    let Selena know in advance."


    "A woman with a fiancé should keep her distance from other men."


    Mrs. Soo finished speaking, adjusted her shawl on her shoulders, and left.


    Patrick''s eyes narrowed sharply.


    The old butler was furious.


    The only reason the Soo family brought up their patriarch was to bully the fact that the Turner family


    had no elders. If the Turner family''s patriarch were still alive, who would dare to push their miss around


    like this?


    The old butler was worried sick. "It seems like the Soo family has made up their minds to go through


    with this engagement. There will be a storm brewing when Miss returns this time."


    Patrick stared at Mrs. Soo''s departing figure and said coldly, "No one can force Selena if she doesn''t


    want to."


    ...


    Selena didn''t know what had happened with the Turner family. She sat in the garden for an afternoon


    and finished two design drafts before it got dark.


    After dinner, Selena trained in the basement for a few hours. When she came out, it was already 10


    o''clock at night. "Love in City" was scheduled for the prime time slot, and the reaction must have


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    alreadye out at this time.


    Selena was toozy to see how the drama had been altered. She took a shower, leaned against the


    bed, and opened Weibo.


    She saw four hot searches rted to "Love in City," including the top one. Most of thements


    praised the explosive plot and the atmosphere was well-rendered. After only two episodes, arge part


    of the audience expressed that they were already addicted to the show.


    From thements, this "Love in City" drama really had the potential to help Leah turn the tide.


    Selena sneered. She was just about to put down her phone when Luke called her.


    Selena answered the call.


    Luke asked in a deep voice, "Lady Selena, have you watched ''Love in City''?"


    Selena casually opened a book and said, "Based on thements, it seems to be not bad."


    Luke was speechless. "You''re not even angry?"


    If it were someone else, they would have been in tears at this point. This youngdy was still in the


    mood to praise the other party for doing a good job.


    Her mental resilience was truly impressive.


    Selena blinked and asked, "My script was modified, but it still received so much praise. Shouldn''t I be


    happy?"


    This seemed to make sense, but he still felt that something was off.


    Although Luke was not a screenwriter or an actor, he had supported "Breaking Ground" from the start.


    Seeing Leah steal the script and win big, even this calm CEO was a bit angry. Not to mention the


    actors who participated in "Breaking Ground."


    They all gathered at Olympus Group now, looking at the characters in "Love in City" that were copied


    and modified, and feeling disgusted.


    They were getting angry, but Selena, as the chief screenwriter and director, remained calm.
