Compared to Selena, Osvaldo was more likely to become a target of public criticism.
Hattie thought about it and felt that Leon's words made some sense. But she couldn't take it lightly.
"I'll go call Selena and remind her," she said.
Leon watched the girl run away and thought about the Turner family's feast in two days. His eyes deepened.
Selena was only nineteen years old. According to reason, Patrick should not agree, and it should be the Anderson family or the Soo family who proposed marriage to the Turner family.
Based on the character of the Turner family, Patrick was unlikely to use Selena's marriage to achieve any purpose, unless there was some compelling reason, which was clearly related to Selena's own wishes.
As someone with a younger sister, Leon put himself in Patrick's shoes and thought about it. If Hattie suddenly came to him at the age of nineteen and said that there was a man outside who wanted to propose, Leon's expression would immediately become somewhat unpleasant, and he would inexplicably sympathize with the Turner family.
...
The next morning, Selena woke up and saw the message Hattie had sent. The little girl didn't hide anything and told her everything.
After reading it, Selena's lips curved into a smile. Hattie was different from her after all.
Selena put down her phone, changed her clothes, and went downstairs for breakfast.
The Turner family had a lot of things to do these days, so Patrick didn't go to medical school. When he saw Selena coming downstairs, he observed her carefully and was relieved when he confirmed that the girl's emotions had returned to normal.
"Good morning," Selena said to him with a smile.
Patrick smiled and helped her pull out a chair. "Good morning."
After the siblings finished breakfast, Patrick went to do his work, and Selena went back to her room to read.
Time passed peacefully for a day.
In the blink of an eye, it was finally the day of the Turner family's feast.
Selena slept well last night, probably because she was thinking about Osvaldo's proposal today, which made her slightly happy but also somewhat at a loss. She rarely stayed in bed.
Selena lay on the bed, holding her phone, wanting to send a message to Osvaldo.
But she didn't know what to say.
As she was struggling, a new text message suddenly appeared on her phone screen. Selena looked down and saw that it was from Osvaldo. It only read: "Wait for me." The nervousness she felt was instantly relieved, and she smiled and replied with an "OK." She put her phone on the table and got up to go to the bathroom to freshen up.
...
On that day, without a doubt, the eyes of the major families in Capital were all focused on the Turner family. After Selena returned to Capital, the Turner family became low-key and seemed to disappear. But after Selena returned to Capital, the banquet that the Turner family held specifically for her, after a hiatus of twenty years, finally allowed the people of Capital to witness the glory of the Turner family, which used to be the first family in Capital. Moreover, since this was a banquet held by the Turner family to find a husband for their daughter, it was bound to be grand.
Capital was a huge arena of fame and fortune. In this circle, strong power represented everything. And whether it was the hidden potential of the Turner family or Selena's strong rise, they undoubtedly began to push the Turner family towards a new peak.
The Turner family didn't send out many invitations, and most of those invited were their old acquaintances from twenty years ago. But this didn't prevent some of the families in Capital from joining in the fun. After all, everyone knew that there would be many police officers present at the event today. In addition, the main characters, the Anderson family and the Soo family, the newly changed Poole family, and the Riddle family, who were related to Selena by blood, were all in attendance. Missing the opportunity to build good relationships with these powerful figures would be foolish.
Last time, many people didn't make it to the Turner family's banquet due to Penelope's birthday. This time, the Turner family opened their doors to their guests, and everyone prepared their gifts and came early. The Turner family had good manners and would not openly drive people away unless they had a grudge with them. Therefore, early in the morning, the area in front of the Turner family's house was bustling with people.
By the time the Shaw family arrived, the Turner family already had many guests. Vivian was wearing a gorgeous dress and beautiful jewelry, looking at the Turner family, which was completely different from before, with a delicate makeup on her face, unable to help but show a sarcastic smile.
