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 relationship 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 explanation, she would be the first to be held accountable.
In the back seat, Selena lowered her eyelashes slightly, contemplating 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 had come to visit for no apparent reason...
Selena guessed that something was going on, but she never thought that this matter would be related 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 had come 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 place 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 hour later, 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 he comes 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 hour later, 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.
