Selena's eyes widened suddenly, and her mind exploded. The fear and uneasiness that had been lingering in her heart suddenly became a reality!
Selena knew that if she didn't want others to know the truth, the best way at this moment was to control her expression and emotions and not let Oscar notice anything unusual. She even knew that as long as she remained calm, she could definitely handle it.
Moreover, from the perspective of blood relationship, no one could deny her identity as the daughter of the Turner family... So as long as she wanted to deny it, Oscar couldn't do anything about it.
But...
Selena looked at Oscar's black eyes and pale face, and couldn't suppress the panic and guilt in her heart.
A hint of resentment flashed in Selena's dark eyes. Perhaps her complexion was too ugly, Oscar paused and his tone softened a bit. He looked into her eyes and asked, "Or let me rephrase, where did my younger brother's daughter go?"
Selena's heart trembled. She knew she should deny it, but her mouth seemed to have a mind of its own and opened coldly and tremblingly, "She's dead."
Oscar was startled for a moment, then lowered his eyelids to cover up the expression in his eyes. Selena wasn't sure if Oscar's gaze at this moment was sad or hateful. She only knew that he must have been certain that she was a fake, since he could ask this question with full confidence.
If he wanted to retaliate against her for taking the Turner family's place, it would be only natural.
Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, Oscar opened his eyes again and his tone was still calm and composed. "You don't seem very surprised that I can tell you're not the daughter of the Turner family?"
Although there were many people in the hall at the time, he was the first to notice the girl's abnormality.
When she looked into his eyes, there was no excitement of seeing a relative. Only the joy and relief of throwing away some kind of shackle, along with some subtle fear and uneasiness.
Selena pulled her lips. Perhaps having been exposed to her deepest secret, she finally abandoned the anxiety and uneasiness, and regained the calmness and composure she should have had. She began to return his gaze and said, "Shouldn't it be me asking you this question?"
"I have never told anyone except Osvaldo that I am not the real daughter of the Turner family. And Osvaldo..." Selena paused, and a hint of warmth appeared in her icy heart. "He won't betray me!"
Oscar's gaze was deep. "In this world, everything deceives, and bloodlines are no exception."
Selena smiled and looked down at her slender wrist. "If I were to cut my wrist, my blood and your blood... they should be able to merge, right?"
Selena suddenly had this idea.
She had never done a paternity test with the Turner family.
But she suddenly had the urge to do a paternity test with the Turner family.
As for what exactly she wanted to prove, Selena couldn't explain it herself.
She just suddenly wanted to do it...
Oscar watched as she began to inadvertently search for a knife, and his tone softened. "It's not like what you're thinking. There are many reasons why I'm sure you're not the Turner family's daughter."
Selena was stunned, looked up at him, and her eyes were sharp and cold.
Oscar whispered, "I've seen all your information. Even if a person changes drastically, they can't be so different overnight."
Selena asked in response, "Just because of that?"
She knew he was a smart commander.
Especially Oscar. He could walk from the sea of thousands of people in the capital to the position of the first commander, and he was certainly not a simple character.
But to conclude that she was not the Turner family's daughter based on a few pages of paper was too hasty.
First, there was no evidence.
