Chapter 1571: What do you say?
Stanley's deep eyes narrowed. "The person who can be engaged to Mr. Anderson, everyone knows, is
Miss Turner, not me, the queen of the central city!"
"Whether it's the engagement brought about by that red jade or the marriage alliance between the
Turner family and the Anderson family, it has always been Miss Turner!"
Patrick was stunned.
He didn't know if he was shocked by Selena's true identity or by what this man said.
Oscar had a cold expression on his face and couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Stanley smiled. "I know you both love Selena dearly but think about true Miss Turner."
"You have given everything to Selena; Miss Turner would be heartbroken if she found out."
"She grew up without parents and experienced death. If she knew all of this... how would you face
her?"
This sentence instantly pierced Patrick's heart like a knife.
It was something he had been avoiding all along.
Now Stanley had pointed it out so openly and even held onto that lonely girl...
In such a situation, the Turner family could no longer pretend that nothing had happened.
After stating his purpose elegantly, Stanley stood up. "Think carefully about it; when Mr. Anderson and
Miss Turner are bound in engagement is when she returns home."
After speaking, Stanley walked away gracefully.
Patrick clenched his fists as he watched him leave and turned to Oscar. "Father..."
These demands are ridiculous. Once he agrees... Patrick can't even imagine the harm it will cause
those two girls.
Oscar's eyes were cold, "This young master from the central city is not simple. The possibility of saving
people from him... is zero!"
The existence of the Turner family's daughter, besides them, Selena probably doesn't even know.
In this situation, they have no room to refuse.
Oscar looked at his son's somewhat out-of-control expression and lowered his eyelashes, "The turning
point in this matter lies with that young master from the Anderson family."
Telling Selena will only make her sad. She is a kind girl who already feels guilty and distant because
she took away the Turner family's daughter from her loved ones.
Knowing the truth will only make her suffer. So... they can only rely on Osvaldo!
This is a struggle between Osvaldo and Stanley.
Fortunately, the real daughter of the Turner family has not encountered any danger so far.
Revealing her at this critical moment would be more dangerous than protective.
Stanley's hostage-taking is both a threat and protection.
"For now, don't tell anyone about this."
Stanley went to the Turner family without Selena's knowledge. She was on her way back to the small
villa. Leia was driving and noticed Selena's expression, so she asked, "Missus, what's wrong?" After
leaving the Turner family, Selena seemed a bit uncomfortable. She rubbed her forehead with her hand
and said, "It's nothing." She didn't know why but suddenly felt a bit suffocated.
Leia observed carefully and saw that Selena had a normal complexion and showed no signs of illness.
So she didn't ask any further questions but just accelerated the car. It would be best for Missus to talk
to Master if she had something on her mind.
Selena pondered over things related to the research institute. Diana was not a concern; her real target
was the person who helped Diana open Sacred Pearl. That person not only wanted to kill her but also
nearly killed Osvaldo six months ago! And Sacred Pearl came from Lillian... so why did Lillian want to
kill Osvaldo? Moreover, it happened half a year ago...
Selena became increasingly puzzled as she thought about it when suddenly there was an incoming call
from her phone in her bag.
Selena looked up and answered the call from White Crow.
"What's up?" she asked.
"If you're not too busy, could you come to Capital University? That kid wants to see you," White Crow
said.
Selena was taken aback for a moment before realizing that the "kid" he was referring to was Eden. Did
he remember something?
Her expression changed instantly. "Leia, take me to Capital University's lab!" she ordered.
Leia had originally planned on taking Selena back to Osvaldo, but upon hearing her request, she
redirected towards Capital University instead.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the university and entered the lab where Black Crow, White Crow and
Joanna were seated in a meeting room with a shy-looking Eden across from them.
As soon as they heard Selena's arrival, all four of them turned their heads towards her with strange
expressions on their faces.
Selena sat down next to Eden and asked him what was going on. He was usually reserved and never
bothered her unless it was necessary.
Although he liked being around Selena, this boy knew his limits - he would never call or disturb her
without good reason when she wasn't around.
So his unusual behavior had caught everyone's attention instantly.
After all, Eden was the only one who had any leads on finding Callum. With so many eyes on her, she
shrunk back and looked at Selena with a blush on her face. It seemed like she mustered up all her
courage to say, "I... I think I remember something..."
Selena's gaze immediately sharpened. "What is it?"
The other people in the conference room also stared intently.
Eden became even more nervous and stuttered out, "There was a voice that told me to follow you..."
"Follow me?!" Selena had just planned to leave Eden in the capital for the Turner family to take care of
him when suddenly he tells her that he remembers something about a voice telling him to follow her?
Was this child making up lies just so he could stick around with her?
Selena's gaze swept over Eden like a searchlight.
Eden blushed under her scrutiny and kept trying to hide behind herself. "I don't know what's going on
either but someone did tell me that if I ever met you, I should follow you."
Selena looked strange.
Why did Eden want to stay by her side?
Was that voice Callum's?
Why were memories coming back in fragments?
Eden was a shy and kind child who wasn't likely to lie, so when he said there might be something going
on, it was possible that there really was something going on...
Selena's expression became indescribable for a moment.
The others present also looked at Eden with strange expressions upon hearing his words. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Clearly, no one had expected Eden to come forward at this critical moment and say such a thing...
But the way this child looked didn't seem like he was lying...
