Lady Lauren sat by Selena's bedside, and suddenly heard familiar footsteps behind her.
She turned around and saw Osvaldo.
He was looking at Selena, his gaze unwavering.
Lady Lauren had learned about what happened to the Soo family through her dark guards. Osvaldo had avenged Selena using the Soo family's century-old heritage and Vivian's life.
Since he declared the downfall of the Soo family, the Anderson family had unleashed its full power and was determined to swallow up the entire Soo family.
Tonight, the capital was destined to be in turmoil.
Lady Lauren stood up and walked over to Osvaldo, helping him straighten his collar. She spoke softly, "Selena is fine. The two doctors said she won't wake up until tomorrow at the latest. I will watch over her. Why don't you go rest?"
Osvaldo had been shot and had undergone surgery without anesthesia. If it were anyone else, they would have already collapsed. His deep, black eyes grew dimmer, and his first reaction was to refuse. "I can't let her leave me..."
"Selena won't leave you," Lady Lauren said with sadness and tenderness. "She's just tired and needs rest. When she wakes up, she'll forgive you."
Lady Lauren trusted her son's judgment.
She also believed that she wouldn't misjudge people.
Although Osvaldo's punishment of Vivian was too cruel for a normal person to bear, Selena wouldn't be one of them.
As for what happened tonight, Osvaldo would have to explain it to Selena himself.
She knew that Osvaldo wouldn't want Selena to be hurt for no reason, and there must be some things that were unknown to others.
Osvaldo didn't want Selena to leave his sight, and Lady Lauren couldn't help but call Benjamin. Benjamin came to the scene in person and forced people to take Osvaldo away.
...
The Riddle's building.
Leon received the news about the Soo family as soon as it happened. When he hung up the phone, he rubbed his forehead wearily, "Another one..."
It had only been a few days, and the Soo family had followed in the footsteps of the Shaw family.
Apart from the Anderson family, the other major families were not peaceful. The whole capital was in chaos, and the smaller families were trembling in fear, as if they were walking on thin ice.
And for those ambitious noble families, such changes are rare and extraordinary opportunities.
Leon was not surprised by the downfall of the Soo family, as he had known Alfie since childhood. If Alfie had really followed Nicholas' arrangement and got engaged to Aurelia, Leon would have found it strange instead.
What really shocked him was Selena suddenly spitting blood.
Many people in the capital wanted to harm Selena, but with the protection of the Anderson family and the Turner family, who had the ability to really hurt her?
The incident in which Osvaldo was nearly plotted against also shook Leon to the core.
No one knows what is really going on with the young master of the Anderson family, but the heirs of several major noble families have heard something.
Ordinary medicine couldn't do anything to him.
Nicholas must know this fact, yet he still chose to join forces with Vivian.
There is only one explanation: he and Vivian are both confident that the medicine will make Osvaldo give up Selena and choose Vivian.
Something flashed through Leon's mind as he pondered the matter.
He had a hunch that tonight's events were related to the woman hiding in their Riddle family...
