Selena changed into her pajamas and lay in bed, staring at the ceiling but couldn't fall asleep. She didn't hide her whereabouts, and Osvaldo should be able to find out that she returned to the Turner family easily, so she shouldn't worry too much.
After a moment, Selena suddenly sat up and walked to the window, locking it from the inside. She couldn't afford to be soft-hearted and let Osvaldo get caught in the middle.
But then she remembered the weather forecast she had seen earlier. It would rain tonight. What if the man really came but couldn't get in and got caught in the rain outside? She was rarely in such a dilemma.
After about a minute, Selena resignedly walked back and unlocked the window again. She then returned to bed, covered herself with the blanket, and closed her eyes.
...
An hour later, a black sports car parked outside the gate of the Turner family in the hazy rain. The man in black clothes and black hair got out of the driver's seat.
Patrick, who had received the news, walked out of the gate and cast a cold glance at Osvaldo. "She asked me today if you would have intervened if you knew about this matter back then..."
Osvaldo's eyes were cold.
"On matters of principle, Selena will never compromise. This time, Constance must die!" Patrick said in a cold voice.
The Turner family did not want to let Constance get away with framing Selena.
But first, Dante had intervened to protect Constance, and then Osvaldo had also chosen to tolerate him. If the Turner family pursued this matter, it would only make things difficult for Selena.
Second, Oscar knew that the Turner family owed Diego a favor and didn't want to turn their backs on him. But after Constance's true identity as a fake heiress and her malicious nature were exposed, she had lost the right to live.
Last time, Osvaldo's decision to spare Constance because of Dante had already made the Turner family very dissatisfied. If he still chooses to side with Dante over Selena, then there would be no need for the engagement banquet to proceed!
Osvaldo seemed to ignore Patrick's words and walked past him towards the Turner family's gate.
...
In the room, Selena was trying to fall asleep, but she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
She thought it was someone from the Turner family and went to open the door. But when she saw the man standing at the door, she froze.
Before she could react, the man had forcefully pushed his way in and locked the door behind him.
He glanced at the window and when he realized it wasn't locked from the inside, his cold gaze began to warm up.
But when he looked at Selena, his expression turned dark again.
She had long hair and was wearing fluffy slippers, with a snow-white stuffed bear in her arms.
If it were someone else-
The man's eyes glinted with a cold light and he picked up Selena, sending her back to bed and covering her with a blanket. He then held her in his arms.
Selena was still dazed and looked at the man's face which was so close to hers.
Osvaldo's slightly cold fingers touched her delicate face, causing her to shiver.
The man stared into her eyes and a hint of darkness overflowed from his gaze. "Why don't you tell me if you want Constance to die?"
Selena was stunned.
She looked at the man's cold eyes and felt a bit helpless. "No, I just..."
She didn't want to be caught in the middle.
