Selena lowered her long lashes, her eyes fixed on the ring held high by Osvaldo. As she was about to speak, a sudden burst of excited screams erupted from the crowd.
"Marry him! Marry him!!"
"Selena, say yes, say yes!!"
"With those two beautiful faces, not getting married would be a crime!!"
Selena thought back to the opposition she had heard earlier and compared it to the present moment. Her smile became even sweeter.
Her boyfriend was truly capable of anything...
Blushing, Selena smiled, her clear and melodious voice ringing out through the room. "Okay."
She moved the fan that was blocking her face and revealed her stunningly beautiful features to Osvaldo.
Osvaldo's deep black eyes suddenly brightened. He took Selena's delicate hand and devoutly slid the ring onto her slender ring finger. Then, he stood up, embraced Selena, and lowered his head to kiss her crimson lips.
Everything happened so naturally and smoothly that many people didn't even react until it was over. After coming back to their senses, the sky-high screams nearly toppled the roof.
...
In a cool and elegant villa, a man sat on the balcony, his gaze fixed on the Turner family's direction. "The engagement banquet should be over by now, right?"
The person standing beside him glanced at the setting sun and replied softly, "Yes, the engagement banquet went smoothly, and Miss has a fiancé now."
A hint of desolation appeared in the man's eyes. After a moment, a smile formed at the corners of his lips.
Having a fiancé meant having someone to rely on. Even without him, that man would still love and protect her...
She would no longer have to go through the painful death she had experienced before.
"Also, there's one more thing..." The man hesitated for a moment before speaking up. "Young Master, that person has arrived."
The man was taken aback, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes. "How could it be so fast?"
Selena's news had only spread through the Empire this morning. Even if the other party was fast, it was impossible for them to arrive in the capital on the same day.
Something unexpected must have happened in between.
But now was clearly not the time to investigate.
The man gazed in the direction of the Turner family mansion, his face pale and indifferent. "Where is he?"
"Just got off the plane," the subordinate's voice had an indescribable meaning. "After all, he is Miss'... Should we notify Mr. Anderson?"
"No need," the man shook his head, his pitch-black calm eyes deep and misty. "Since he's here, no one can make him leave. This is for the best."
After all, whether it was him or Osvaldo, no matter how fierce their competition was, they could not harm Selena.
The Empire already knew about Selena's news and the crisis she would face was unimaginable. In a situation where he couldn't openly protect her, the arrival of that person at this moment was a good thing for Selena's safety.
Finally, the man looked in the direction of the Turner family mansion, cut off the attachment and reluctance in his heart, and stood up slowly. "Let's go."
His slender figure turned and blended into the dusk.
The purpose of his stay here was to see Selena's engagement with his own eyes. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, Selena has a good protection network, and it is time to leave.
The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief instantly. The master's body had long been pushed to its limit, and if he didn't go back now, anything could happen at any time.
...
Inside the Turner family mansion, as Selena was being led by Osvaldo to toast the elders, she suddenly froze.
She unconsciously turned her head and looked in the direction of the villa.
