In a room with pure black tones, a man is sitting upright on a couch, staring fixedly at the screen without any movement in his eyes.
His eerie eyes were glued to Selena through the big screen, shimmering with a touch of warmth and affection that seemed impossible to tear away from her.
I will protect you.
I will help you get revenge.
I will make all the people who bully you disappear completely.
I will make you live a life more happy and carefree than anyone else in this world.
I will personally hand you everything you want.
"I want to be the man you love, trust, rely on the most, the closest to you in this world, and the only man."
Until Selena's slender figure disappeared from sight, the man concealed the pathological obsession in his eyes.
He lifted his lashes that resembled black butterflies and a hint of danger flickered in his eyes as he fixed his gaze on Patrick.
The deep black eyes gleam with inorganic darkness, like a god on a high altar, yet also like the ruler of the eighteen levels of hell.
For a long time, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number, "Find out what the relationship is between the Turner family and her mother."
Selena says that if she doesn't know Patrick, then she definitely doesn't know him.
Patrick has never been to Creephia and has never met Selena before.
Then his favoritism towards Selena can only come from the deceased Nevaeh.
When Luke received this phone call, he jumped with a start.
The tone that makes one feel like they are standing on the edge of a cliff and walking on thin ice... must be related to Selena.
The fragrance competition has officially begun today, and he personally supervised it. What problems could that little rascal possibly cause now?
This issue is clearly still related to the Turner family.
The Turner family... it's trouble again.
Luke's eyes were filled with deep thought as he made a phone call to have someone check on the Turner family.
Adeline arrived at the building where the organizer was located and found the person in charge of the fragrance competition.
She stood in front of the desk with a gentle and proud expression, looking at the person in charge seated behind the desk.
"Mr. Porter, I want to report that there is a woman with a corrupt character who has entered this fragrance contest. Please remove her from the competition immediately in order to protect the reputation of the perfume association."
The person in charge smiled insincerely and asked, "Who is the woman with a bad moral character that Miss Watts is referring to?"
Adeline was dissatisfied with the tone of the other party, but she suppressed her anger and said openly, "Her name is Selena Riddle. She had previously seduced a judge of the Perfume Association and caused a scandal."
The person in charge smiled ambiguously and asked, "What if we refuse?"
Adeline's face instantly sank, lifting her chin and adding a hint of coercion to her tone. "Then I will withdraw from this year's perfume competition!"
She didn't believe it. The organizers would give up on her, the champion of the previous year, for a relatively unknown Selena.
Does Selena have comparability with her?
Adeline smugly thought to herself.
The person in charge looked at her with a dumbfounded expression and said, "The door is over there, Miss Watts. You can leave now."
Adeline's face suddenly changed, "What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what you heard," said the person in charge, checking the time. The official opening was about to start soon. He stood up and walked towards the door. Don't say it's you, even if all the perfumers are gone, Lady Selena will still be the only one left."
Adeline's face turned pale as she watched the other person walk out, suddenly realizing that something was wrong. She ordered her assistant next to her, "Find out what's going on, and get to the bottom of it!"
The Watts family is powerful in M City, few people dares to offend them.
Soon, the assistant returned, with a cold sweat on their face. "Miss, that Selena, she is the young lady of the Riddle family from the capital."
Half a month ago, the young master of the Riddle family specially replaced several members of the organizers and perfume association who opposed her participation in the competition for her sake...
If even the organizer can replace her at will, what does it matter to replace Adeline?
Adeline's face suddenly turned white. "Didn't they say she was an orphan without power or influence? How could she..."
"It's not wrong to say that. The Riddle family only started paying attention to their granddaughter in the past month. They didn't care about her for more than a decade, and even acted as if she didn't exist."
"t's a complex matter, involving the true young lady of the Riddle family. They took care of Selena, probably for the sake of their family's reputation rather than genuine concern for her safety."
After all, Selena's identity has been exposed, and the Riddle family cannot deny her bloodline. They openly support her, which may also be because they don't want to be seen as guilty parties.
Two days ago, Selena openly defied the Riddle family for the sake of the Riddle's illegitimate daughter, which is the best proof.
Adeline breathed a sigh of relief and a hint of something flashed through her eyes.
As long as Selena is not the real heiress that the Riddle family values, offending her would just be offending her based on her identity.
Adeline lifted her feet and walked towards the art gallery.
Although she threatened to withdraw from the competition just now, it is impossible for her to do so.
Patrick rarely appears in M City, she cannot miss the opportunity to establish a good relationship with him.
Furthermore, Selena does not yet have the qualification that merits her giving up the championship.
Leia had bought everything Selena needed and was about to go find Selena when she suddenly received a call from Luke.
Leia picked up her phone and hopped up the stairs, "Mr. Jordan, Madam has already gone inside, why are you calling at this time?"
There was a hint of hesitation in Luke's voice as he asked, "Did Lady Selena encounter any trouble just now?"
Leia blinked her eyes and said, "I just went shopping for Lady Selena and didn't follow her..."
M City is not Creephia, Christ is not here, there is no need to be so vigilant.
Leia noticed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Mr. Jordon, what's wrong?"
Luke hesitated for a moment before saying, "Go inside and find Lady Selena immediately. Ask her to make a phone call to your master."
Although it is not clear what has happened, it is important to calm down a man who is on the verge of becoming evil to prevent any potential harm.
Leia widened her eyes, and her first reaction was that Lady Selena had been bullied again!
What a jerk!
Leia's face instantly showed a murderous look and she quickly ran towards the inside.
Selena entered the art gallery before the start of the competition. As she didn't like the noise, she found a quiet resting room to close her eyes and relax.
Selena was lying on the couch in the lounge, and as soon as she closed her eyes, not even a minute passed before she heard the startling sound of a video call request.
She opened her eyes wide, looked at her phone, and then smiled.
Selena pressed the answer key.
Osvaldo's exquisite face appeared on the screen, his eyes seemed to be darker than usual, with a familiar tenderness, "I really like it."
Selena knew what he was talking about and smiled slightly, "I have good taste."
Osvaldo's lips curved up slightly, his expressionless face becoming more alive and attractive with this small arc, catching people's attention.
The corners of Osvaldo's lips hooked, his expressionless face was more than vivid because of this tiny curve, good-looking and side-eye catching.
