Although she was aware of the difficult situation of the Turner family, if the Soo family were to lend a hand and provide assistance, their situation, where they were constantly targeted and suppressed, would improve significantly. But marriage was a sacred thing. The Soo family's help could be earned and seized on her own, but once emotions went off track, it would harm more than just one person.
The most important thing was that she was already married. How could she betray her husband, who was so good to her, just for her own selfish desires?
Osvaldo's deep black eyes burned with intense excitement and eagerness. He gazed deeply at Selena and a sinister smile spread across his handsome face, indicating that he had finally gotten what he wanted.
Vivian was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and even her voice couldn't help but become shrill. "Mr. Turner has worked tirelessly for over a decade for the Turner family, and Miss Turner, for the sake of her own selfish desires, has abandoned the interests of the family. She's truly so selfish and cold-hearted!"
Selena turned around, raised her chin arrogantly, and looked at Vivian with disdain. "What do you have to do with the Turner family, Miss Shaw?"
Vivian glared at her. "As an aristocratic lady, shouldn't you prioritize your family's interests? Miss Turner, you enjoy the protection of the Turner family and the indulgence of your brother, but you are not willing to make any sacrifices for the Turner family or your family... Do you know what this kind of behavior is called?!"
She sneered repeatedly. "Moreover, the Turner family's ancestors suffered a great disaster, but you don't seek revenge for your parents and families. Instead, you are only concerned about your own happiness. Aren't you afraid that they'll be unable to rest in peace?"
Selena's gaze suddenly turned cold. "Miss Shaw, you are right, the Turner family's hatred will undoubtedly come at a cost to the Shaw family!"
Vivian was suddenly chilled by the coldness in Selena's eyes. However, her words resonated with many people at the scene. In the world of high society, except for a few rare cases where two people fell in love and came from similar backgrounds, most marriages were based on benefits. Even those who didn't like the Turner family couldn't deny the fact that Patrick had supported the Turner family's doorframe with his ailing body for so many years.
If Selena had agreed to Alfie's proposal, it would have immediately relieved the Turner family's predicament. However, she openly refused for the sake of her own love.
In the eyes of a group of people who grew up in a struggle for interests, such behavior is indeed too selfish.
Moreover, the Turner family already had a prior engagement with the Soo family.
In everyone's view, it was only natural for Selena to marry Alfie.
Constance pursed her lips and seemed unable to bear it anymore. She reminded Selena, "Miss Turner, the Turner family is not just Mr. Turner alone. As a daughter of the Turner family, you also have a responsibility. You cannot let Mr. Turner bear all the burden, while you only think of enjoying the benefits."
Selena looked at the two women who were constantly picking faults and was about to speak, but suddenly a pair of slender arms reached out from behind her and hugged her delicate body tightly. Selena was stunned for a moment. The next second, the man pinched her chin and forcibly turned her face back. Selena looked at the man who was close to her in confusion.
Osvaldo hooked his lips and his slender, fair fingers gently brushed over her cheek. His voice carried a hint of piety, "What's mine is yours, and I am yours too..."
Selena was stunned and didn't understand the man's meaning at first. Not only did she not understand, but everyone else on the scene also looked at them in astonishment.
The eyes of several young powerful figures were especially fixed on them.
After all, Vivian and Constance had a shallow understanding and thought that grasping the handle of that engagement would make Selena helpless. But these men knew that in this matter, the Turner family's and Selena's attitudes were important, but the real decision-making power lay with Osvaldo. If he did not want to let go, no one could take Selena away from him! In this man's eyes, the so-called engagement and rules were not worth mentioning!
Facing the watchful eyes of a group of people as if facing a great enemy, Luke suddenly took a step forward, walked to Patrick, and handed him a document. Patrick's cold gaze looked over and was full of doubts.
"This is Mr. Anderson's betrothal gift to Miss Turner!" Luke smirked, "Mr. Anderson's entire fortune is in there, and everything he has in the future belongs to Miss Turner."
Facing the stunned gaze of the crowd, Luke added, "Whether openly or secretly, Miss Turner will be the only mistress of the Anderson family. Everything he has will be treasured for her."
Several young ladies couldn't stand still and fell to the ground in shock.
Vivian stumbled back several steps as if frightened, her face turned pale.
