The other party was able to trace Selena by following Klara.
Klara's face showed fear.
Her first thought was Leah.
Selena had warned her before that Leah had hired private detectives to secretly monitor her. But Klara thought the game plan case was over, and Leah had gone to M City and was now in danger herself, so it was unlikely that she would still have the energy to hold on to her.
But... what if it really was Leah's doing?
If Leah saw her in contact with Selena, she would definitely call the police. If she was caught sitting with Selena by the police, the theft plan case would definitely be reopened.
Selena's background and wealth meant that she would not be affected much, but she would definitely go to jail...
Selena saw the guilty expression on Klara's face, and without expression, she sneered and said in a slow voice, "Klara, what happens next is up to you."
Klara's brain, occupied by fear, suddenly cleared a bit.
She looked at the cold and unfamiliar face of the woman across from her and suddenly remembered that Selena had put on makeup to conceal her true appearance. As long as she didn't speak, who would know that she was Selena?
With this in mind, Klara suddenly steadied herself.
She didn't need Selena to give her any more warnings. She picked up the coffee on the table and took two big sips, forcing herself to calm down.
As long as she didn't reveal Selena's identity, no one could do anything to her!
Selena saw that she had calmed down and didn't say anything else. The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and Selena stood up and walked towards the window.
It was already 7 o'clock in the evening and the streets were lit up.
Selena walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down.
She saw the lights of many homes and the hustle and bustle of the city.
Osvaldo's castle was a bit far from the city center, so at night, she could only see the warm and peaceful night view of the garden. It was rare to see such a lively scene.
Selena's lips curved into a smile.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door getting closer and closer, Klara couldn't help but whisper, "Lady Selena, you should call your boyfriend now while you still have time..."
Selena glanced at her.
She really doesn't understand women like Klara and Leah who always rely on men when they have problems. Can't they handle things on their own without a man?
It's really tiring for their men to be always relied on for everything.
Furthermore, in this society where appearance matters, someone like Osvaldo, who is a beautiful and captivating man, should just stay at home. If he goes out too much, it'll make it difficult for other girls to find boyfriends.
When Klara met Selena's gaze, she couldn't speak and just tensed up.
She originally thought that the person outside the door would just barge in, but to her surprise, the person knocked on the door in a polite manner.
Selena lifted her chin and said to Klara, "Go open the door."
Klara stood up nervously, suppressing her frantic heartbeat and tried to act as if everything was normal as she walked over to open the door.
She was prepared to face the police, but to her surprise, the person standing outside the door was not a police officer, but a young man with black hair and eyes. He was so handsome that it was almost too much, and his body exuded an aura of pheromones.
Klara was stunned.
The man glanced at her and his lips curved up into a gentle smile. "Klara."
Klara's mind buzzed, her legs went weak, and her cheeks turned blushing in an instant. She stammered, "Do you... know me, sir?"
Christ felt a hint of annoyance at the woman's obvious infatuation. His voice was light. "May I come in?"
He had to be gentle, or else he might scare away the "little kitty" that he had finally caught.
Klara had long forgotten her original intention and absentmindedly opened the door.
Christ walked in.
Selena was standing at the window in a daze. When she heard the sound, she lazily looked up and saw the man walking in. Her beautiful face dropped instantly.
She thought the person who came would be related to Leah, but she never expected it to be this man.
Thanks to Isabel's repeated troubles, Selena finally remembered this man.
She had just disabled Isabel's leg, and now he was coming to seek revenge?
Selena furrowed her brow, suddenly feeling that something was not quite right.
If Christ wanted to seek revenge for Isabel, he should have gone to Creephia University or Olympus Group to find her. Even if he wanted to kill her in broad daylight like in Tonyan Town before, it wouldn't be surprising.
What was strange was that he spared Osvaldo and Luke, and used Klara to block her... This did not fit Christ's bold and ruthless style.
There was only one explanation.
Christ was not looking for Selena.
He was looking for the identity that she was currently pretending to be, which didn't even exist.
Selena suddenly remembered that she had been communicating with Christ using this fake identity all along. As Selena, she had never met Christ, and he had never seen her either. So, Christ was not looking for Selena, but rather for the person she was at that moment. Selena almost instantly figured out everything. She squinted her eyes and stared at the man standing at the door, her expression turning particularly cold and unfriendly.
As soon as Christ entered, his gaze fell on Selena's face. Naturally, he easily sensed the girl's defensive and displeased attitude towards him. The man frowned. With Isabel's grudge against her in mind, Christ could understand Selena's rejection of him, and tried to suppress his temper to be accommodating. But that did not mean he didn't care. Especially after searching for her for so long and almost flipping Creephia upside down several times, each time he saw her, she always wore such a cold expression. This made Christ particularly unhappy. His aura also sank, scaring Klara beside him and making her shiver.
As soon as Christ entered the room, Klara understood that the man was not there to see her but to see Selena. This made Klara feel endless bitterness and jealousy rise in her heart. Humans are the creatures that can't stand comparison the most. Selena had a better background, intelligence, beauty, money, and power than her, and now, even such an outstanding man was chasing after her... it seemed that all the good things in the world belonged only to Selena.
And she could only be with Alberto, an old and ugly man, even then, Selena refused to address her as Mrs. Riddle. Klara was filled with even more resentment in her heart, but she dared not do anything to Selena. She just smiled and asked Christ, "Sir, may I ask what brings you here?" She thought that since the man knew her name as soon as he entered, maybe he was there to see her?
Christ looked at Selena and smiled, but his words were directed at Klara, "It's nothing big, I just have a question and would like to ask Klara." Klara was surprised to hear that he was actually there to see her! She was delighted and surprised, "Please go ahead."
Christ stared at Selena without moving his gaze, his eyes sharp and dangerous, "What's the name of the young lady who was just sitting here talking to you?"
