The onlookers watched the disheveled Selena and the proud and arrogant Vivian, feeling a complex mix of emotions.
No one could have predicted that Miss Turner, who was always so high and mighty, would be bested by a woman like Vivian.
Despite their disdain and contempt for Vivian's character, many of the young ladies couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy as they watched her bask in her victory.
After all, who wouldn't want to be in the position of the Anderson family's mistress?
And who wouldn't want to be with a man like Osvaldo?
Vivian was the only one who had succeeded.
As Vivian was about to continue gloating, Selena, who had been bowing her head, suddenly raised her face. Her dark eyes locked coldly onto Vivian's. "My man will never be left to you, even if I don't want him!" she declared.
...
In the bathroom, Osvaldo suddenly felt something stir within him, and his heart skipped a beat. The next second, he turned around and strode out.
...
As Selena spoke, she raised the gun in her hand and aimed it at Vivian. The look of triumph on Vivian's face turned to fear, and she screamed, "You crazy woman!"
Terrified that Selena might actually shoot her, Vivian panicked and ran towards the crowd.
Just then, the sound of a door opening was heard from behind her.
Vivian's heart leapt with joy, and her face twisted into a look of fear and helplessness. She turned around and ran towards the newcomer. "Osvaldo, Selena's gone crazy, she's trying to kill me..."
The onlookers, who had been staring at Selena in fear, turned their attention to the door.
Even Christ and Alfie, who had been silently watching Selena, looked up and fixed their gaze on the newcomer.
The only person who didn't move was Selena, who stood still in her spot. She stared at the door, which she had been unable to open no matter how hard she had tried, with no expression on her face.
Osvaldo emerged from the door, walking towards her.
His hair and clothes were damp, as if he had just taken a shower. As soon as he lifted his head, he saw Selena standing across from him, holding a gun aimed at him.
She was being supported by another man, and her delicate body was standing there shakily, like a broken doll. Her face and body were covered in blood, and her dark eyes looked at him with no warmth.
As Osvaldo met the gaze of those familiar yet unfamiliar eyes, a sour and uneasy feeling crept up through his heart. It felt like someone had opened up a wound in his heart and extracted the most precious thing from it, leaving him bleeding and wounded.
His body trembled slightly.
Vivian clutched his sleeve and cried pitifully, "Osvaldo, Selena wants to kill me..."
Selena looked at Vivian, who was hiding behind Osvaldo, and coldly said with a triumphant smile, "Get out of here!"
"Get out of here!"
Two voices almost overlapped, and with the sound, there was a woman's sudden scream.
A cold wind blew before anyone could react, and Osvaldo had already reached Selena, snatching her back from Christ's grasp and holding her tightly in his arms.
The man's face turned pale, and his slightly choked throat seemed to contain a heart full of blood. "Selena..."
Selena struggled frantically in his arms. "Let go of me! I don't want you! I want to kill her, kill her..."
As she spoke, blood dripped from the corners of her blood-stained lips.
