Chapter 1635 - Gift Of The Ages


    Chapter 1635 - Gift of the Ages


    The lid of the box was lifted, and everyone''s gaze followed instinctively. In the next second, they all


    eximed in unison and took a step back in shock.


    Selena saw what was inside the box, and her heart trembled violently. In an instant, her mind was filled


    with excitement.


    Lillian''s gaze suddenly became fixed, and the smile on her face disappeared.


    Inside the ordinary-looking boxy a pure ck silk lining with two items ced quietly on top.


    When everyone saw what those two things were like, their eyes became hot and shocked.


    On the left side was a crystal-clear white scepter with a slender body that shone brilliantly. The top of it


    had an exquisitely carved thorn bird that looked lifelike as if it would fly out at any moment. At its center


    could conquer everything around it.


    Everyone present knew how valuable this scepter was at first sight – It is one of those rare treasures


    that only appear once every thousand years!


    All whoid eyes on this scepter couldn''t help but feel shaken to their core as they gasped for air in


    amazement.


    They thought this gift couldn''t get any better until their gaze fell upon something else...


    In an instant, all breathing sounds in the hall vanished when everyone''s attention focused on


    something to their right - They lost all words at once!


    It was... a crown!


    An exquisite crown designed specifically for women! Its simple yet elegant design made entirely from


    pure white material shone brilliantly under light; encrusted along its body were sparkling rainbow-


    colored gems while its centerpiece red gemstone appeared more anciently magnificent than Lillian''s

    own red gemstone! With just one look at it up close you could see how radiant it truly is!


    Everyone stared nkly at this beautiful crown; holding their breaths as if time stood still before them.


    The lobby was silent as a tomb.


    After what seemed like an eternity, Bianca suddenly copsed to the ground with a thud, staring in


    horror and disbelief at the scepter and crown in the box. She muttered to herself, "This can''t be... it''s


    impossible..."


    The sudden noise finally snapped the other heiresses out of their extreme shock. They stared fixedly at


    the two objects, their eyes filled with intense desire and envy. Their faces were pale and their


    expressions were utterly lost.


    Several of them couldn''t hold back their tears and cried on the spot.


    If they hadn''t seen it with their own eyes, perhaps they wouldn''t have been so heartbroken.


    But seeing this scene firsthand made everyone unable to control the bitterness and jealousy in their


    hearts.


    Such a gift... truly breathtaking!


    The Ruby of Central City was indeed impressive, but that Holy English Emperor had already be a


    thing of the past. Selena... she was still alive and flourishing!


    Which is more impressive: an empress who has passed away or one who is still alive?


    Osvaldo told Lillian boldly that he would bring Selena back to her rightful ce as empress - he would


    make her the only empress!


    Lillian looked at that crown slowly before clenching her fingers tightly together.


    Selena lowered her head, gazing intently at those two items while sparkling with some kind of crystal-


    like luster within her eyes - symbols representing queenly authority: The scepter representing power;


    The crown signifying royalty itself...


    These two things couldn''t have been prepared in a short amount of time.


    She suddenly realized that those long and powerful hands had been carefully preparing gifts for her a


    long time ago, waiting patiently for the right moment to gently and eagerly present them to her.


    That meant that Osvaldo had known her true identity long, long before.


    But there was no fear or hesitation in him.


    He still silently waited in ce, waiting for her toe to him and say, "My name is Selena. I''m from


    the downtown area."


    Selena suddenly closed her eyes and suppressed the warmth in her eyes.


    After a moment, she finally regained control of herself and turned to Lillian with a stern expression.


    "You lost!"


    Lillian looked up at the woman standing on the flower tform with cold eyes fixed on her.


    She suddenly saw the woman who used to sit on the throne with pale skin and ck eyes.


    Despite having such a weak body, she possessed an incredibly strong spirit.


    During her thirteen-year reign, she ensured that people lived happily under the Union Empire''s rule


    while also keeping their country safe. The world was peaceful during this golden age of hers as well.


    She was truly an enlightened ruler!


    However... she wasn''t someone Lillian wanted to follow!


    Lillianposed herself again afterughing lightly. "I won''t admit defeat nor will I ever lose."


    "Miss Turner, we''ll meet again soon."


    After Lillian finished speaking, she nodded to the many youngdies present and walked away with


    elegant steps.


    Bianca watched as Lillian left and then, after a moment, remembered the bet she had made with


    Selena. She looked at Selena fearfully and quickly got up to follow her.


    After Lillian left, Selena looked at the many youngdies present and said, "Today was perfect. Thank


    you all." Then she also walked towards the door.


    Leia picked up the gifts on the table and frowned as she looked at Alfie''s and Christ''s gifts. She wasn''t


    sure if she should return them after using them or not.


    After what happened with Soo''s family, Selena hadn''t seen Christ or Alfie again. Leia wasn''t sure what


    Selena thought of those two men right now either.


    Winnie watched as Selena left with mixed emotions. Seeing that Leia didn''t seem to want to take those


    two things back, Winnie spoke up: "My brother''s gifts will never be taken back once given out. Miss


    Turner epted them when they were offered."


    Alishaughed and said: "You go back with Miss Turner first;ter I''ll send someone to deliver these


    two gifts to The Turner family."


    Alisha was James'' sister from Osvaldo''s faction. When Leia heard Alisha''s words, she took Osvaldo''s


    gift and went after Selena.


    Selena got into her car and waited for a moment before asking when Leia got in: "Where is Osvaldo


    now?"


    Leia knew that at this time Selena must want to see Osvaldo; smilingly replied: "The Young Master is


    working outside right now; does Madam want me to find him?"


    Selena rarely disturbed Osvaldo when he was busy working - no or rather never did so - but this time...


    She remained silent for a few seconds before smilingly saying: "Okay, let''s go find him."


    Leia burst outughing and stepped on the gas pedal. "Yes, ma''am!" she replied.


    Forty minutester, the car pulled up in front of a towering building.


    Selena got out of the car and looked up at the skyscraper, finally getting a clear understanding of


    Osvaldo''s work environment.


    As soon as she entered the building, all eyes were on her - no one had ever seen their boss''s wife


    before. After a momentary shock, they quickly regained theirposure...
