Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553 Isabel needs to get rid of

"I have been protecting her for over a decade, ever since she arrived at the Riddle family... I have always been there for her," Dominic said, his hands covering his head. In a corner where no one could see him, his cold and terrifying gaze made even Mr. Walson feel uneasy upon hearing his tone.

She dared not speak and instead lifted her gaze to the door of the emergency room, her resentment and anger towards Leah growing stronger by the minute.

...

Selena returned to the hotel, ate lunch, and slept for two hours. Finally, she began to feel better. With her hair down and a lazy expression on her face, she sat on a rattan chair and video-called Hattie.

Hattie answered quickly, likely having been waiting for her call. Her pale face appeared on the screen, still looking somewhat sickly, but much better than before.

"Selena, congratulations on winning the championship!" Leia said in a brittle voice.

Selena smiled. "Did you rest well today?"

"Mr. Padilla gave the crew half a day off. We watched the live broadcast in the morning and started filming in the afternoon," Hattie said, her beautiful face showing a hint of something else as she looked at Selena.

Selena looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Hattie told the truth, "Selena, you have to be careful that woman upstairs."

Selena asked, "Do you know who she is?"

"Hattie told me," Hattie said coldly, "the one who spoke to you is nothing to worry about. The dangerous one is the one who didn't speak. She has a military background and is the most vicious person you'll ever meet..."

Why would someone in the military be targeting her?

At first, Selena thought it might be related to Lady Nevaeh, but after some thought, she realized that something wasn't quite right. She hadn't gone to the capital city, and if it were the enemies of the Turner family and Lady Nevaeh coming after her, Patrick's reaction shouldn't have been so calm.

So why was she being targeted?

Selena thought for a moment. She had made enemies in the capital, but the real power players were few and far between.

Christ and the Riddle family, as well as the Shaw family, were among them, but those people seemed to have no direct ties to the military.

Seeing Selena's furrowed brow, Hattie spoke up. "Selena, with Osvaldo around, you don't have to be afraid of her. Diana may be tough, but when she's in front of Osvaldo, she'll cower like a mouse..."

Selena was amused by her tone and a thought occurred to her. Could the person be targeting Osvaldo?

She narrowed her eyes slightly and thought that this guess might be the closest to the truth. She smiled and asked, "Hattie, is Osvaldo popular in the capital?"

Hattie held a beautiful but cold face and said, "No one can compete with you, Selena!"

Selena looked at Leia, who was protecting her, smiled, and suddenly remembered something she promised Osvaldo before. She asked, "Do you know who Osvaldo's ex-fiancee was?"

Hattie pursed her lips and seemed reluctant to speak, but she didn't want to lie to Selena, so she finally chose to reveal the answer.

"Yes, Selena, you even fixed her…"

Selena's face showed surprise. "Who?"

Hattie sneered, "The Collins family's illegitimate daughter…"

Selena was shocked. "…Isabel?"

"Yes," Hattie said sternly, "But Selena, don't be angry with Osvaldo. I asked my brother for you, and he said that Osvaldo didn't like that woman at all."
