Chapter 1117 Go And Call Off The Engagement


    Chapter 1117 Go and Call off the Engagement


    It was a well-known fact that Selena had a fiancé, but it was being kept from the person concerned -


    Osvaldo. Being with Selena meant that he was in a rtionship that was not officially recognized.


    While Selena didn''t care much about her reputation, Leia knew that Selena cared a lot about Osvaldo''s


    reputation.


    Having a fiancé meant that Osvaldo was a third party, and it was easy to imagine how she was feeling


    at this moment.


    Driving the car, Leia tried her best to make herself inconspicuous. After all, she was also involved in the

    deception. If Selena were to demand an exnation, she would be the first to be held ountable.


    In the back seat, Selena lowered her eyshes slightly, contemting the sudden engagement


    proposal from the Turner family. At the same time, she understood why Patrick had been giving her the


    feeling that he had something to say recently. And then there was Mrs. Soo, who hade to visit for


    no apparent reason...


    Selena guessed that something was going on, but she never thought that this matter would be rted


    to her.


    The engagement proposal was clearly not something that Patrick had arranged.


    As the current head of the Turner family, he should have had the power to cancel it directly, but instead,


    Mrs. Soo hade to her openly.


    This alone indicated a lot of problems.


    Selena asked in a low voice, "What kind of family is the Soo family?"


    Leia answered in a hushed tone, "The Soo family is the most low-key and secretive aristocratic family


    in the capital. Their power is obviously stronger than that of the Shaw family, but they never fight for a


    ce among the four major families."


    "Madam Selena, I heard that the Soo family has many rigid and harsh family rules that outsiders


    cannot understand. Even now, they still live in ancient manors and preserve many ancestral rites."


    Leia carefully introduced the Soo family, based on what she knew.


    Selena listened, her face revealing no emotions, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.


    Leia thought Selena would ask about Alfie, but she didn''t expect that Selena would stop talking after


    asking about the Soo family. Leia naturally didn''t rush to help Selena introduce Alfie and drove quickly.


    Half an hourter, the car stopped outside the Turner family''s gate. Selena walked towards the gate,


    and Leia immediately took out her phone and called Osvaldo.


    The Turner family''s servants were both shocked and happy to see Selena return. The butler greeted


    her, "Miss, you''re back!" This Miss from the Turner family had been away in the capital for two months,


    and her stay with the Turner family was few and far between. The people of the Turner family felt guilty


    and grateful towards this obedient, sensible, and admirable young girl.


    Selena looked around and the butler noticed she was looking for someone. He said, "The young


    master isn''t here today. He went to medical school. Miss, do you need to talk to him about something?


    I''ll call him as soon as hees back."


    Selena shook her head, and her tone was indifferent, "No need. I''ll talk to him when he gets back."


    Then she went upstairs to her room.


    Although Selena had instructed the butler not to call the young master, she rarely came back to the


    Turner family, and the butler sensed something was wrong, so he immediately called Patrick.


    Half an hourter, Patrick knocked on Selena''s door. Selena walked out wearing slippers, her hair


    scattered behind her, and she seemed tired. When Patrick saw her, he frowned, "What''s wrong?"


    Someone had called him about the research department, telling him that Selena had solved everything


    perfectly. But her current appearance clearly indicated that something else was bothering her. Thinking


    of the recent activity from the Soo family, Patrick''s heart sank.


    Selena went back to her room and came out with two small chairs, handing one to Patrick and sitting


    on the other. It was obvious that she wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation.


    Patrick looked at the fragile and petite girl in front of him, his heart softening. He obediently sat across


    from her and asked softly, "Do you know about it?"


    Selena nodded, "Miss Poole told me."


    Patrick''s face turned cold, "What does the Poole family want from you?" The Poole family''s mess


    wasn''tpletely resolved yet, and Christ didn''t have the energy to target Selena.


    They were guarding against Christ and let the Shaw family go, but they didn''t expect Winnie, who was


    unremarkable, to take advantage of the situation. They ultimately pushed this matter to Selena''s


    attention.


    Patrick''s face was cold, but he thought that since the young girl already knew, there was nothing to be


    restrained about. He looked at Selena''s dark eyes and asked, "What do you think?"


    Selena asked, "Who arranged the engagement?"


    In theory, when Nevaeh left the capital twenty years ago while pregnant with Selena, hardly anyone in


    the capital knew. In such a situation, how did the Turner family have the energy to arrange this


    engagement with the Soo family?


    Even if she assumed that the Turner family arranged the engagement for Selena, hoping that the Soo


    family would keep her safe during the disaster and give her a reliance, didn''t the Soo family fail to fulfill


    their promise?


    Moreover, the second possibility was very small. After all, Callum had clearly entrusted his wife to


    Benjamin back then. If it was really just to find a protector for Selena, wouldn''t Benjamin''s son be more


    reliable?


    Therefore, Selena couldn''t figure out the origin of this engagement.


    Patrick was silent for a moment and said, "ording to the Soo family, the engagement between the


    Turner family and the Soo family was arranged by their grandfather himself."


    "And, it was not arranged for you specifically, but for the Turner family''s daughter."


    Selena raised her head, looking more surprised, "The Turner family''s daughter?"


    Patrick exined, "The Soo family has a very ridiculous family rule that is aimed at Mr. Soo. If the


    Turner family has a daughter, she must marry Mr. Soo. If the Turner family has no daughter, Mr. Soo


    will end up alone."


    Selena''s eyes widened slightly. Even if she didn''t know who Mr. Soo was, hearing about such an


    absurd family made her feel a bit sympathetic towards them.


    But this thought was fleeting. Because what was trapped by this engagement was not only Mr. Soo, but


    also herself who upied Selena''s identity. As long as this engagement existed, she and Osvaldo


    would have to bear the stigma every day.


    Selena didn''t care about herself, but how could she let her good husband suffer injustice with her?


    Selena''s eyes became cold, and she said directly, "Let''s break off the engagement with the Soo family."


    Patrick was not surprised that Selena would say such things. This girl was decisive, and if she knew


    that breaking off the engagement was the only choice, she would do it.


    But...


    Patrick looked at Selena''s warm and beautiful face, and sighed slightly, "Selena, do you want to meet


    Mr. Soo?"


    Patrick and Alfie were cousins. Although they were not particrly familiar with each other, the Soo


    family''s eldest son had a good reputation in the capital, and strictly speaking, he was indeed...
