The vengeful young lady who was quick to take revenge had only dealt with two insignificant lackeys in Creephia before. It was nothing but a small disturbance.
As for Osvaldo, he was nothing more than a decoration without any presence.
But Selena had gone to Capital, where Osvaldo was in charge of everything. It was the place where that man's word was law.
Luke smiled, his eyes suddenly filled with a hint of anticipation.
Twenty years had passed, and when Callum and Lady Nevaeh's daughter entered Capital with a raging anger and hatred, the faces of those people from back then must have been quite interesting.
A few withered leaves were blown to Joanna's feet, leaving a trail of decayed colors.
The wind was picking up.
Winter had arrived.
Joanna stepped on the leaves and sneered slowly, "Those worthless people... should have died twenty years ago!"
...
Capital, the Turner family.
Although the Turner family was no longer the first family of Capital, their heritage was still deep and their guards were not few.
Especially now, with the news of the head of the Turner family suddenly falling down, spread by all sorts of malicious people, the security of the entire Turner family was more severe than ever.
The morning sun shone on the people standing in front of the Turner family's gate, and their figures were all neat and straight.
A group of men and women in formal dress were surrounded by people, strolling in and arrogantly evaluating the former first family of Capital. Their expressions were all proud and contemptuous, full of schadenfreude, clearly not well-intentioned.
The guard immediately pulled down the alert line and stopped them outside the gate, his face vigilant. "Stop! The Turner family is busy today and not receiving guests. Please leave!"
The group of people sneered and directly waved their hands, and their bodyguards behind them immediately pushed aside the two guards at the gate with killing intent.
After clearing the way, the group of people coldly laughed and broke in.
The man at the head of the group walked a few steps and suddenly realized that one person was missing, so he turned around.
"Mr. Poole, why haven't you left yet?" he asked.
Upon hearing this, the others also turned their heads and looked at the man who was left behind with suspicion.
Christ stood outside the gate of the Turner family, looking up at the sky in the distance, and smiled. His eyes were unclear. "The sun is shining nicely today..."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
William Gallagher was the first to laugh. "Mr. Poole is right. The sun is indeed shining nicely today, suitable for going out and doing big things!"
Claudia Jackson flicked the ash off her cigarette and spoke in a flippant and disdainful tone, "You're right. The Turner family, with their thin bloodline, thin power, and thin influence, should have disappeared long ago. But they insist on struggling to survive and have become a joke that we've been watching for so many years..."
"Now, they can at least make us laugh, which is the only value that the capital's first family can still provide. It's now their sunset years, isn't it? It's their honor to have so many prestigious families send them off on their final journey!"
While the people of the other prestigious families gloated, Diana, who was part of the research institute, frowned.
Christ looked in Creephia's direction... was it just a coincidence?
But then, she suddenly remembered Christ's previous grudge with Selena.
Christ's beloved sister was killed by Selena. She must have wanted to kill the woman, and knowing her usual style, she wouldn't have come along just to join in on the fun.
