But thinking that this was Osvaldo's place and these people wouldn't harm her, Selena just went along with it.
Ophelia helped Selena do her hair and then took out some exquisite jewelry from a plate and put it on Selena. Finally, she picked out a white long dress for Selena to wear.
After dressing up, a group of people crowded around the bewildered young girl and walked out of the door, squeezing her into the flower carriage parked at the gate.
At the same time, at the Riddle family.
Leon looked deeply at a newly delivered invitation on the table.
There was a knock at the door. Leon opened a drawer, put the invitation in it, and then walked over to open the door.
Erica walked in with a bowl of hot chicken soup. "You've been in the study for a whole day. What are you busy with?"
To be precise, Leon's mood had been very abnormal since the Baxter family's banquet. Erica could probably guess why.
The aftermath of the Baxter family incident had already been dealt with. Fiona and her family were sentenced to death. Mrs. Baxter was sentenced to ten years in prison. Constance, the mastermind behind the crime, was taken away by Osvaldo and her whereabouts were unknown, but it was not difficult to imagine that her fate was not good.
The Baxter family's encounter with Kyra was exposed, their reputation ruined, and they became a despised existence. Coupled with Constance's cruel treatment of Dante and the Anderson family's intentional or unintentional indulgence, many aristocratic families took the opportunity to strike at the Baxter family.
This once-famous second-rate aristocratic family had lost its prestige in just half a month and was on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for Diego's sake, the Baxter family would have been expelled from the capital aristocratic families.
The encounter of the Baxter family's true young lady reminded many people of Nevaeh twenty years ago.
At the same time, the Riddle family was also frequently dragged out to be criticized. Many people speculated that the young lady of the Turner family would target the Riddle family next.
Leon took the chicken soup his mother handed him and drank a few sips before saying in a calm voice, "I just received an invitation from the Anderson family."
Erica raised an eyebrow, "The Anderson family?"
Leon placed the bowl on the table, "The Turner family is getting engaged to the Anderson family. The engagement ceremony has already been set, and it's in a month."
Erica was shocked.
The Turner family getting engaged to the Anderson family...
This news is enough to make everyone in the capital feel insecure.
Everyone who harmed the Turner family and Nevaeh in that disaster probably won't be able to sleep at night.
This includes the Riddle family.
Erica looked at her son's tired eyes and frowned, but she didn't ask much. She just gently reminded him, "You can't neglect your health even if you're busy. When you're young, you might not feel it, but when you reach my age, you'll have to pay the price."
Leon smiled wryly, suddenly remembering that he hadn't seen Hattie in a few days and asked, "How's Hattie been lately?"
He's been too busy, so he had to entrust she to Erica's care.
Erica helped Leon tidy up his clothes and said in a warm voice, "She's doing fine. Someone from the Anderson family came this morning and took her away. I don't know what they're doing."
Leon remembered the engagement invitation sent out by the Anderson family.
According to that man's character, if even the Riddle family could receive this invitation, then the Poole family and the Soo family certainly wouldn't be left out.
Thinking of Christ and Alfie's thoughts on Selena, Leon felt a headache coming on.
The capital was already chaotic enough, and the engagement between Selena and Osvaldo was just forcing these men to confront their conflicts.
There will definitely be more trouble ahead.
