While Lady Lauren was showing Selena around the small villa, Osvaldo arrived at a study. He walked in and sat on the sofa, tapping on a sensor without much thought. The large screen on the wall beeped and showed a room full of people.
The person on the other end of the video noticed Osvaldo's arrival and looked over. Luke, holding a cup of water, carefully observed the environment he could see before laughing, "You finally managed to bring Selena back? Congratulations!"
Although he said congratulations, he was complaining inwardly. Osvaldo was the slowest man he had ever seen when it came to pursuing a wife. It had been so long, and he had only managed to bring the girl back. Who knew how much longer it would take for him to get her into bed?
Osvaldo didn't pay attention to Luke's sarcasm and lazily lifted his eyelids, "Have you found anything?"
Talking about business, Luke's expression became serious as he sighed, "There are too many people named Stanley Soo, and you only gave us a bare name. It's impossible to find the specific person in such a short time. The only thing I can confirm is that the person you're looking for is not in H Country."
Regarding the name "Stanley," the only thing Luke could confirm was that the person had a close relationship with Selena. Otherwise, it wouldn't be worth Osvaldo's effort to investigate. He didn't even let Selena know.
Of course, it wasn't deliberate concealment, but Selena had never paid attention to anything her husband did, which made her seem too obedient and sensible.
Looking at Osvaldo's expressionless face, Luke sensed his concern and displeasure and frowned. He continued, "Selena grew up in Creephia and never even left the country. The person you're looking for probably isn't abroad either, Mr. Anderson. If you want to investigate, at least give us more clues."
Osvaldo's slender fingers propped up his forehead, and he sat quietly on the sofa with his long eyelashes drooping, seemingly not hearing Luke's words. He didn't speak, and the conference room on the other side of the screen became quiet as well. After a while, Osvaldo finally spoke up, "Don't waste time within H Country. Go straight to the federation!" His eyes suddenly revealed a dark sharpness.
Luke was confused by Osvaldo's sudden change of mind. "Selena couldn't possibly have anything to do with the federation..."
The federal situation was chaotic, with serious factionalism and complicated circumstances. Moreover, they were too far away to be affected by anything happening over there, no matter how tumultuous it was. Luke had considered searching every place except that area.
Because that place...
Osvaldo lifted his eyelids and glanced at Luke.
Luke hesitated for a moment, his lips twitching, "I'll check as fast as I can! But let me speak first. If this Stanley guy isn't some big shot or has some background, it may not be so quick!"
The Federation was too far away from them, and they couldn't do much about it, it wouldn't be as easy as it is on their own territory.
Osvaldo stood up and walked out, "Tell Joanna to come back."
Luke was speechless.
The only reason why Osvaldo came to pick up this communication was probably just to say the last sentence.
But Selena went to the Anderson family and let Joanna return to the capital. These two things together meant that...
As Luke dialed his phone, he casually hung up the communication.
...
Inside a small villa.
Selena stood in the beautifully decorated room, looking at the furnishings and decorations around her, unable to control the sweet smile on her face.
The room she lived in before in Creephia belonged to Osvaldo.
Later, because she lived there all the time, it was not decorated except for adding some things that girls must have.
