Selena felt a chill run down her spine as she heard those words. She looked at the man across from her, his face adorned with a smile. He had long black hair that trailed down to his waist, a fitted white shirt, black pants and black leather gloves on his hands. His dark eyes were calm and peaceful, yet there was an intimidating aura about him that made it hard to look directly at him.
He appeared young but there was something in his gaze that hinted at the wisdom of age. He could have been twenty-eight or thirty-eight years old for all Selena knew. But most importantly, he was a complete stranger.
As Oscar's voice filled Selena's ears with anger and surprise upon hearing the name "Jerome Turner," Selena's slender body shook violently.
Jerome Turner! The one from the Turner family who died when he was just sixteen years old...
But he called her "little friend."
There was only one person in this world who ever called her that.
He had truly crawled back from hell!
Selena closed her eyes slightly and bit down on her teeth lightly as she prepared to speak but before she could say anything, the man across from her spoke first.
He stared at Selena for a moment before furrowing his brows slightly and saying: "You've... changed back?!"
A lump formed in Selena's throat as those words echoed through her mind. The words she wanted to say never left her lips as she remained silent instead.
The man stared at her for a moment, then glanced over at Osvaldo standing beside her and raised an eyebrow. "So it's still this kid, huh?" he said.
"Just say that old bastard is making a fuss for no reason. He already has someone ready-made, but he still wants to cultivate someone with the surname Soo..."
Selena's heart trembled and her eyes stung.
She wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Osvaldo took Selena's icy hand and shielded her behind him.
The man looked at her reddened eyes and waved his hand before turning his gaze to Callum. "Let the adults handle things; kids shouldn't interfere," he said with a light laugh. "Take your little brat and stay away."
Selena didn't hear the last sentence as it was spoken in a low voice.
At the same time, Oscar spoke up too, addressing Osvaldo: "Take her away!"
This was the feud between the Turner family and God's Love Church.
If Selena stayed behind, she would only make things worse.
And Osvaldo didn't want Selena to get involved in another struggle between faith and family again either.
Without hesitation, he turned around with Selena in tow and left immediately.
But they hadn't gone far when they heard intense fighting sounds coming from behind them. Selena turned back for a glance.
Her Uncle David was there.
Callum and Oscar were also there.
The long-standing feud between "God's Love" and the Turner family finally came to an end.
The war lasted for a full day and night.
The next evening, Oscar returned with a comatose Callum.
Selena didn't ask about the final outcome.
Patrick told her that the person had been injured and taken away by Mr. White.
