Selena laughed.
Suddenly, Hattie seemed to remember something and frowned as she said to Selena, "Oh, by the way, Selena, my brother asked me to tell you to be careful lately. It's better to have Osvaldo accompany you when you go out."
Remembering Manny, whom she had beaten, Selena smiled meaningfully and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
After hearing Selena's words, the two girls stopped worrying and began to calculate how much money they could earn today.
...
After the results of the gambling conference came out, not only did the Soo family lose everything, but their family reputation was also ruined.
It was more humiliating than being rejected by the Turner family last time!
Nicholas was furious, and the servants of the Soo family didn't even dare to make a sound when they walked.
Alfie returned to the Soo family and locked himself in his study.
Aurelia waited outside and waited until it was dark, but Alfie didn't come out.
Heartbroken, Aurelia returned to her own courtyard alone.
As soon as she closed the door, Aurelia knocked all the teacups off the table, unable to control the resentment on her dignified and beautiful face.
She was so humiliated and wronged, but Alfie didn't even comfort her...
This fact made Aurelia heartbroken and indignant.
She lay on the table and burst into tears.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Aurelia wiped away her tears and got up to open the door. Wyatt walked in.
Aurelia respectfully called out, "Grandfather."
Wyatt looked at her swollen eyes and said, "The situation in the capital is not something the Bennett family can handle. That man doesn't love you, and staying here is not good for you."
When Nicholas first came to the Bennett family because of Aurelia's fate, Wyatt had refused.
But Aurelia was stubborn and insisted on going to the capital, so he had no choice but to agree.
Aurelia couldn't control her tears and said, "But Grandfather, I love him..."
Wyatt saw her persistence and frowned, "Why be so persistent for a man who already has someone in his heart?"
Aurelia opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.
Wyatt said in a deep voice, "Don't tell me you haven't realized this!"
How could Aurelia not have noticed?
She had already discovered it when Alfie took Selena's wedding dress as his own. She just didn't want to give up.
Aurelia looked up at Wyatt with tearful eyes and said, "He doesn't love me now, but he will in the future. As long as I become his wife, his heart will return to me someday..."
Wyatt looked at her disappointedly. "I agreed to the Soo family's proposal of marriage because you said you liked him. But he's not interested in you at all. Despite this, you still refuse to give up?"
Aurelia knelt in front of Wyatt. "Grandfather, I really like him. If I give up now, I will regret it for the rest of my life..."
Wyatt's face turned colder. "If the Soo family were an ordinary family, it would be fine. But you've seen it today. The Soo family is lacking in familial affection and full of ambition. If you marry into such a family without your husband's favor, it's like throwing yourself into a pit of fire!"
Aurelia cried and shook her head, but her eyes were firm. "Grandfather, please fulfill my wish!"
Wyatt looked at Aurelia's determined face and closed his eyes. "Remember, this is your own choice. No matter what happens in the future, you can't blame anyone else."
"You're willing to bet everything for your own future, but I can't let the Bennett family gamble with you."
"Tomorrow morning, I will find an excuse and take Edith back. From now on... take care of yourself."
Aurelia gritted her teeth. "Thank you, grandfather."
Wyatt left.
