Chapter 1692: Pleasant Surprise
Chapter 1692: Pleasant Surprise
A group of people were waiting with downcast expressions when Osvaldo walked in with Selena
through the front door.
Leia was momentarily stunned, but quickly greeted her, "Madam, you''re back!"
Selena smiled slightly at the confused looks in the room and replied, "Yes."
Leia furrowed her brow and gave Osvaldo a suspicious look. "Did Young Master pick you up this
morning?"
Selena guessed where this question wasing from and coughed nervously. "I ran into himst night
and we ended up staying out together."
Leia breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Young Master wasn''t getting involved with his first love again,
everything would be fine.
With the main issue resolved, Selena went to her study to wait for Osvaldo''s answer.
After a busy day, Selena received a call from Stanley in the evening.
Seeing Stanley''s name on her phone reminded Selena that she had promised to meet someone with
him yesterday.
Thinking about it for a moment, she left her study and changed clothes before knocking on Osvaldo''s
door to let him know she was leaving. "Honey, I''m going out now but I''ll be back tonight."
As she turned around to leave after speaking those words though, he grabbed her from behind in an
embrace.
Osvaldo held onto her tightly while kissing her hair gently before asking softly,"Where are you going?"
Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Selena thought for a moment before replying,"I''m meeting Stanley; he needs me for something."
Osvaldo stared at Selena''s white profile for a moment, then ruffled her hair. "Call me if you need
anything," he said.
Selena smiled and nodded.
Osvaldo stood on the stairs, watching Selena''s slender figure grow smaller as she walked away. A hint
of darkness crept into his eyes.
...
Outside the estate, Stanley''s gaze fell upon Selena. Even though she wore a high-necked shirt and
makeup to cover it up, he could still see therge petal-shaped hickey on her neck...
Stanley''s expression darkened.
Selena noticed his gaze and blushed slightly, tilting her head in embarrassment.
Stanley quickly hid his strange look and opened the car door with a smile. "Let''s go, Your Majesty."
Selena got into the back seat and casually asked, "Stanley, where are you taking me?"
Stanley smiled faintly. "You''ll know when we get there."
Seeing Selena furrow her brows in confusion, Stanley lowered his eyshes and added: "It should be
good news for you."
Selena thought about it carefully but couldn''te up with any reason why it would be good news for
her. But since Stanley wouldn''t harm her anyway, she just let him do what he wanted.
...
At the same moment, in a quiet tea room, Horace walked in and let out a small sigh when he saw the
man sitting there. "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the Soo family has taken the little princess to Rose
Pce."
The man with ck hair and white clothes set down his teacup. "It doesn''t matter. Let her go."
The timing was about right.
Horace looked at the man''s handsome and noble profile, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Both Your Majesty and Madam knew who was in Rose Pce.
Letting Selena know about their existence might not be such a good thing...
"Your Majesty, should you reconsider? The little princess can still return to her position without marrying
into The Turner Family."
"Her current body is truly of imperial bloodline."
"Why make things difficult for the little princess by letting her know about past grievances?"
Once Selena found out the truth she would definitely pursue it relentlessly. Besides causing her pain
and trouble, Horace couldn''t think of any other benefits that woulde from it.
After all, those things had already happened too long ago.
The man''s deep eyes shed with something as he spoke calmly. "She has fate with The Turner
Family; this fate muste to an end."
Horace shook slightly as he instantly understood what Your Majesty meant.
Selena''s connection with the Turner family was more than just being their daughter. There was also
Callum! Without him, Selena would have died when she was only five years old. She could have lived a
good life without knowing anything about it, but this cause and effect would always be buried in an
unknown ce and could explode at any time.
Rather than leaving this ticking bomb behind, it is better to let Selena take care of it herself. This way,
even if she goes to the underworld in the future, she will be mentally prepared ahead of time.
Horace sighed and turned around to leave when suddenly he heard a man say, "Tell them that if
someone breaks inter on, don''t stop them." Horace nodded.
At the same moment inside the Imperial Administration Hall, Lillian walked down from the steps. She
looked up at the sunset in the distance and paused for a few seconds before suddenlyughing.
Just as she was about to leave, someone following her stepped forward and handed her a private
Lillian pressed answer button on hermunicator. A woman''s cold voice came through on
speakerphone saying: "There is someone who can threaten you inside Rose Pce; kill her at all
costs!"
Lillian''s eyes suddenly narrowed. "Mother, are you telling me that there is another member of the
imperial bloodline in Rose Pce?"
Could it be him? Aarav...
"I underestimated Hanley," the woman sneered. "I never thought he had a backup n. If someone
hadn''t suddenly sent me information about ''The Light of God,'' I wouldn''t have known that both parties
must be alive for the soul exchange to work."
"The emperor cannot inherit the throne, but The Turner family''s daughter has be part of the
imperial bloodline. Once she appears, you will be in danger!"
"Hanley won''t give you a second chance to harm his daughter, so tonight is yourst chance. Kill her at
all costs!"
Lillian''s warmth disappeared from her eyes and they became cold again.
She put on her hat and walked forward with determination.
"Thank you, mother. That girl won''t live past tonight."
She was only one step away from the throne.
No one could stop her!
Lillian hung up the phone and drew out her knife from her waistband.
Her ink-blue eyes were filled with killing intent as she ordered,
"Mobilize all my private army and weapons to Rose Pce! Tonight I want that territory; not even a
de of grass should remain!"
Meanwhile, a ck sports car pulled up outside Rose Pce.
Selena got out of the car and looked up at this pce located on city outskirts.
Although this generation was once a royal garden, most of it is now vacant. Selena had only visited
asionally over the past decade to soak in the hot springs and escape the summer heat, so she
wasn''t very familiar with this ce.
Selena turned to look at the person next to her. "Stanley, why did you bring me here to meet
someone?"
Stanley smiled slightly. "When you meet her, you should feel ''surprised''."
The Turner family has always been Selena''s regret. Knowing that Callum''s daughter is still alive and
can help her regain the throne and solve her biggest problem, Selena would indeed be happy.
Hearing his words, a glimmer of hope rose in Selena''s heart as she walked towards the door.
