The crowd was surprised.
The young ladies of the wealthy families present looked at the young man kneeling half-bent at Selena's feet with horror on their faces. Even their breaths became sour in an instant.
The young leaders of the major families also turned slightly pale.
Constance's smile froze for a moment, and she had to exert great self-control to avoid losing her composure like everyone else.
After glancing lightly at Selena, she arrogantly averted her gaze. Only the tight grip of her fingers betrayed the unrest deep in her heart.
What on earth did Selena do to deserve the Soo family's lifetime fortune and effort to marry her?!
Vivian trembled and stared at Selena with a pale face, looking like a ghost.
After realizing what she had heard, everyone immediately turned to look at Nicholas.
Nicholas' face was calm, but his eyes were dark and inscrutable, showing no emotion.
However, the shock and horror on the faces of the other members of the Soo family were the same as those of everyone else present.
Obviously, even the people within the Soo family did not know that Alfie would make such a decision.
But if he made such a statement in public, if Selena truly accepted the Soo family's proposal, what the Soo family would give to the Turner family would only be more, not less.
That was half of the Soo family's fortune...
Definitely more than what they had taken from the Turner family all those years ago...
After confirming this fact, everyone present could not conceal their deep jealousy and regret when they looked at the Turner siblings.
Especially the young ladies present, their envious and hateful gazes at Selena were undisguised.
Half of the fortune for a betrothal gift...
How could this heiress who had just been found by the Turner family be so lucky?!
Cameron suddenly closed his eyes.
Indeed...
During the laboratory dispute at Capital University, the resources promised by the Soo family were not for Penelope, but for Selena.
Alfie did not appear to help Penelope, but to help Selena.
Even if Penelope had won against Selena, she could not have become the owner of the laboratory.
The Capital University laboratory was originally a gift Alfie had prepared to give to Selena.
It was just that it was intercepted by Osvaldo's people midway, causing his gift to be left ungiven.
Although there had been speculation before, Cameron couldn't help but feel emotional when he heard Alfie's words with his own ears.
If Penelope had known earlier, even if she had calculated everything, she would not have had a chance to win over Selena, so why did she gamble everything to compete with Selena?
The only one in the room who was not affected by Alfie's words was probably Selena. She stood upright, playing with the rose between her fingers, looking down at the man kneeling in front of her. Even the corners of her mouth did not change a bit.
She met Alfie's gaze without flinching and smiled slightly, "I refuse."
The whole room was in an uproar.
Just as everyone had returned to normal, they twisted their faces in shock and looked at Selena in disbelief.
Miss Turner, does she have a problem with her brain?
