Everyone was defying him for the Turner family!
Dexter stared at Christ's departing figure in anger, his expression full of hostility. "Don't stop him, let him go!"
...
After leaving the Poole family, Christ drove to the gate of the Turner family. He leaned against the driver's seat, staring at the gate of the Turner family, slowly lighting a cigarette. The rain outside the car window had not stopped.
When the sky was completely dark, Selena walked out of the Turner family gate with Leia's company. Christ's scorching gaze swept over the beautiful face of the girl, and a hint of relaxation flashed through his eyes. He dropped the cigarette butt in his hand, opened the car door and got out.
Just as Selena heard the sound and turned her head to look, her eyes dimmed when she saw the man standing under the streetlamp. Leia frowned and defensively stood in front of Selena.
Selena patted Leia's shoulder and walked out from behind the girl, looking at Christ with no particular emotion in her tone. "Mr. Poole, why have you come to visit the Turner family so late?"
Christ's deep gaze was firmly locked onto Selena's face. If he hadn't seen her spit blood with his own eyes three days ago, it would be hard to believe that she had really been poisoned just by looking at her appearance now. At this moment, Christ suddenly realized that whenever and wherever he saw this girl, she was always calm and elegant. It seemed as if there was nothing in this world that could make her lose her composure.
Christ felt a sense of indescribable discomfort in his heart, staring at her and saying in a low voice, "I came to see you."
Selena nodded, acknowledging his kindness, "Thank you, but it's late now, the host of the Turner family has already gone to rest, and Mr. Poole should also go back."
Selena turned to leave after speaking, but Christ suddenly called out her name, "Selena."
Selena tilted her head slightly, her eyes looking at him with a polite detachment.
Christ leaned against the car door, his expression concealed by the darkness. His pitch-black eyes were fixed on her, "If I take everything that the Poole family has taken from the Turner family and give it all back to you, can you--"
Before he could finish, Selena suddenly interrupted him, "No."
Christ's eyes suddenly darkened.
Selena felt the two gazes fall on her face, unable to restrain the burning and gloomy emotions, and she moved her eyes slightly away.
If before, she had always thought that Christ was approaching her to compete with Osvaldo.
But now, since she understood Osvaldo's intentions towards her, Selena no longer thought so.
If he really only wanted to compete with Osvaldo, Christ should have relentlessly targeted the Turner family to cause trouble for her, opposed Osvaldo, and not repeatedly help her.
The way this man looked at her was somewhat similar to how Osvaldo looked at her, the only difference being that Osvaldo was looking at her, while Christ was looking at the little girl who had once had a connection with him, and who he had mistreated.
Selena is willing to bear the grudges left by Selena, but it does not mean that she is willing to bear the emotional issues left by Selena.
Christ's kindness can indeed save her a lot of trouble, but it will also bring her more trouble.
"Whether the Poole family is still there or not, I will take back what belongs to the Turner family," Selena said coldly. "The only difference is whether you will become my opponent."
"If Mr. Poole is willing to go easy on us, the Turner family will be grateful. If he decides to go against me, I will not be afraid."
In other words, whatever choice he makes, it doesn't matter to her.
When Selena spoke resolutely and unequivocally, Christ's handsome face turned a strange shade of pale. He gritted his teeth and said, "You should have been mine!"
If he had not mistaken her identity, and if he had not been so eager, she would have been his long ago!
What about Osvaldo?
Selena turned her head and stared at him with her dark eyes, her gaze cold. "I belong to no one but myself!"
