"If anyone sees a man named Callum Turner, please tell him that his wife and daughter have been waiting for him to come home."
After speaking, Selena did not look at anyone, turned back, and gave Osvaldo a faint smile. With the man's accompaniment, she walked out.
The entire venue fell into a silence that was even quieter than before.
Those aristocrats who had not left yet stumbled and fell to the ground upon hearing Selena's words. They had an expression of shock or fear on their faces, staring blankly at Selena's departing figure, their minds blank.
Principal Chow and several Capital University professors who had come specifically to cheer for Selena were shocked upon hearing the news and almost fell out of their seats.
Everyone's expression was blank.
The judges of the fragrance contest were sitting listlessly, one by one looking dispirited, and even lacked the energy to continue the awards ceremony.
The judges who had been bought off closed their eyes when they saw the dead silence on the scene.
They knew very well that this fragrance contest had become the end of their careers.
The bomb that Selena dropped was too powerful. It wasn't until a long time later that there were scattered voices in the venue.
"Lady Selena just said... her father is still alive?"
"Dean Turner... he's still alive..."
"Dean Turner is still alive... but Lady Nevaeh is not..." The woman who said this suddenly covered her face and cried out loud.
"Lady Selena was emotionally stable before she came to participate in the competition, so she had no idea that her father was still alive... It's Leah!!"
This sentence suddenly reminded everyone. In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Leah, who was stumbling and shrinking in the corner in fear.
"That's right, Lady Selena was emotionally stable before she left her seat. It was only after Leah left with her that she suddenly became so depressed and disillusioned. Leah must have told her about her father's news!"
"Leah was just shouting on stage that Lady Selena had power and influence and that she couldn't threaten Selena. But if she used the news about Dean Turner to threaten Selena... this scum!!"
"I understand now! Leah used the information from Dean Turner to threaten Lady Selena and force her to give up "Heartfelt". Lady Selena was already very upset, and now there is another scandal within the fragrance industry. These trash judges are even helping those trash families to persecute Lady Selena... How can Lady Selena not be disheartened?"
"How much have Dean Turner and Lady Nevaeh contributed to our H country? The Turner family has sacrificed so much, with only young Mr. Turner and Selena left... How could Leah... How could she dare..."
At this moment, everyone in the audience stared at Leah on stage with a hatred that penetrated to their bones. Leah, covered in blood and trembling all over, cowered in fear.
All her pride and arrogance shattered into powder in this moment. Her face and hands were covered in blood, and she looked like a pathetic, crazy person with wide eyes.
It wasn't until this moment that Leah realized that Lady Selena had never taken her scheming seriously. Threatening Lady Selena was nothing more than her own self-righteousness.
Everyone in the world was disgusted with her and wished to tear her apart with their eyes and voices. Even Dominic, who had always cared for and protected her, stared at her with a hateful gaze.
Leah suddenly felt cold, and her body shook violently. Selena had told her to have nowhere to turn.
At this moment, she was deserted and hated by everyone... both in H Country and abroad, with no place to stand in the world.
