Selena's eyebrows raised, "Why?"
At this moment, she realized that this was a very important question.
With so many noble daughters in the capital, given Osvaldo's family background, he can have any kind of marriage partner.
Why Isabel, of all people?
What exactly does Isabel have that is worth the attention of Antonio?
Selena's cold gaze shot sharply towards Isabel.
How can a woman with such a cruel heart, and who is also an illegitimate daughter of a noble family, be deserving of Antonio's attention?
He even resorted to forcing his grandson to marry her, even if it meant his own death...
Isabel realized what Osvaldo was going to say. She lifted her hands to cover her ears and screamed, "Ah! Don't say it!! Don't say it!!"
She looked up at Christ in terror, forgetting to even cry, "Brother, don't listen to Selena's nonsense! She's lying about me! The red jadeite is mine! Mine!!!"
She crawled to Christ's feet, her face pale, and reached out to grab the red jadeite, hoping to clutch onto the last straw of salvation.
However, another hand had already picked up the red jadeite before she could. Isabel touched air, her face turning pale as she looked up at the man in front of her who held the red jadeite gently and looked at it lovingly. His voice was gentle, but it made her shiver.
"Is she lying or not? I won't know until I hear it, right?"
Isabel had never heard Christ speak so gently before, but it made her feel like her soul was freezing.
She stared blankly at the man's eyes, which were faintly tinged with blood, and only now did she realize that his arrival at this moment was not redemption for her, but a disaster that could destroy her!
Isabel's face turned pale, her eyes full of fear as if they were about to burst out of their sockets. She weakly screamed, "No, brother, believe me, it's mine! It's mine! I've been with you for over ten years... Selena killed Edwin!"
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and pointed at Selena. Her swollen mouth was bleeding and drooling mixed together, and she said in a crazy tone, "Brother, Selena killed the two bodyguards you sent me and kidnapped me here just to steal my ruby! She deserves to die! This woman deserves to die!"
Selena's eyes flickered with anger, and she was about to get up and teach the woman a lesson, but Osvaldo hugged her waist first.
Selena said coldly, "She--"
Osvaldo gently comforted Selena, who had a bad expression, and smiled, "You're injured and can't aggravate your injuries for that woman."
Most importantly, he couldn't let her get close to Christ.
Why Christ doted on Isabel so much was unknown to others, but he knew.
He had always coveted Selena, and now that he knew the truth, he would only become more ruthless.
Osvaldo's expression was weak, but in an instant, he became cruel.
Selena bit her lip and said, "But--"
Osvaldo rubbed her forehead and said, "Listen to me."
