The Turner family still referred to Oscar as "Young Master" out of habit.
Oscar stared at Selena for a moment and said in a flat tone, "Go inside first."
Following Oscar, Selena walked into the hall. All the servants were busy, and Selena wanted to go back to her room to call Osvaldo. But as she started to climb the stairs, she suddenly heard Oscar's voice behind her.
"In here, you don't have to be so restrained," he said.
Selena stopped in her tracks and turned around to face Oscar in the center of the hall. Her tone was firm. "You know who I am."
It had been almost a month since Oscar returned to the Turner family. During this time, he had had enough time to find out Selena's identity, including her name, age, and personal involvement in the underground city incident.
If their positions were reversed, Selena wouldn't want to face the Turner family either, even if she knew they were innocent. Innocence was not always a reason to escape punishment, especially when compared to the Turner family's blood debts.
It was too difficult for the Turner family to keep from blaming the culprit for the loss of so many family members.
Considering that Oscar didn't harm her after learning her true identity, Selena believed that he was already being very generous.
Oscar's pitch-black eyes met Selena's pale face. "Perhaps I cannot avoid blaming the culprit, but I will not hurt you."
Selena smiled but did not relax her expression. She nodded at Oscar and said, "I'll go back to my room. Uncle, please rest well."
After Selena left, Oscar sat in the hall for a moment before suddenly saying, "Take Principal Marshall's call."
Although he had not known Selena for long, Oscar could see the strong and resilient mentality in the girl who had been resurrected in his niece's body.
Her sudden abnormal behavior must have been related to something that had happened at Union University.

Selena returned to her room, locked the door, and sat down on the bed barefoot. Then she took out her phone and stared at the screen for a while before finally dialing Osvaldo's number.
The phone rang twice and was answered. A gentle voice of a man came through, "What's wrong, Selena?"
Although he had reminded her many times, Selena never called him unless there was a problem.
A sweet smile unconsciously appeared on Selena's face, "I'm back to the Turner family tonight, you don't have to wait for me to have dinner."
When she was at the villa, unless Osvaldo was not in the capital, he would come back every night to have dinner with her.
There was a moment of silence on the other end before the man's gentle voice continued, "I'll come see you tonight."
This was the signal for him to climb through the window.
Selena felt a sense of anticipation and smiled, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Selena sat quietly on the bed for a moment, carefully analyzing the situation in the capital before picking up the book on the table.
