Poor Miss Turner had no idea and came here alone for Miss Riddle, without any accompanying relatives or elders by her side.
Looking at Selena's slender figure and beautiful face, and hearing Nicholas' aggressive words, many men present felt pity for her.
Alfie's face was already turning cold.
Leia was furious, glaring fiercely at Nicholas across from her, taking out her phone from her pocket and starting to send text messages.
Only Selena remained calm, even with a smile on her face.
Aurelia had been accompanying Alfie outside to greet guests and seemed to have no idea what Selena and Nicholas had just said. Upon hearing about it, she looked at Alfie with tenderness and said softly, "I understand, Mr. Soo."
...
At the gambling convention, many of the capital's elite and powerful were gathered, and the Turner family's faction received a phone call from their people on the spot.
Therefore, the Turner family learned of what happened at the gambling convention in no time.
When Patrick learned that Nicholas had publicly humiliated Selena multiple times, he could no longer sit still and walked out with a cold aura.
The butler was indignant, "Those shameless bastards!"
Nicholas' move was obviously deliberate. Selena would never let Hattie be ignored and would definitely go to the gambling convention. This was specifically targeting Selena!
The Turner family had grievances with the Soo family, but Nicholas could not do anything to Oscar and Patrick. So he resorted to such shameful means to target Selena, a young girl. This was truly shameless!
Oscar had just returned from Zone Six and met Patrick at the door. He said in a calm tone, "If she didn't have full confidence, she wouldn't have said those things."
Patrick said in a serious tone, "But Father, gambling is not about intelligence. Even if Selena is smart, it's difficult to guarantee that she will win one hundred percent."
"If Selena loses, those people will definitely not hesitate to bully her..."
Even smart people are powerless in matters of luck.
Oscar was not worried at all and reminded him, "Worrying only causes chaos. This is not a good thing for both you and her."
Commanding calmness was almost innate for him.
For certain things, they were even cold to the point of cruelty.
And it was precisely because of this unique advantage that they could be invincible.
Once a commander loses this calmness, they are no longer fit to sit in that position.
Patrick was taken aback.
He doesn't not understand Oscar's meaning.
He's just... too guilty and heartbroken!
This sense of guilt and heartbreak is for both Selena of Creephia and the present Selena.
They are both such good and kind girls.
But fate hasn't been kind to either of them...
Patrick raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. "Father, I..."
Oscar could probably guess what kind of threat Freddie used to coerce Patrick. So he could understand his son's anxiety and difficulty.
Oscar pushed the wheelchair forward and spoke for the first time, "For those who are not meant to belong to the Turner family, forcing them to stay is not beneficial to any of you."
Patrick's face turned pale in an instant. He didn't tell Oscar the fact that the real Selena was still alive.
Selena drank another cup calmly while curiously looking around.
Leia squatted in front of her angrily and said, "Madam Selena, we will pick the stones later and definitely smash that shameless old man's face!"
Nicholas was the most shameless old man that Leia had ever seen!
Selena said with a smile, "No hurry."
Leia couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw her confidence. "Madam Selena, how will we pick the stones later? Is it based on size, shape, or something else?" Obviously, the young girl knew nothing about gambling on stones.
Selena turned her head and glanced at Leia, saying, "I don't know either."
Leia was speechless.
Even Hattie couldn't help but look at Selena in shock.
Selena didn't know how to pick stones?
Wasn't she lying earlier?
Seeming to see their doubts, Selena dropped a sentence, "It's my first time to come to such a place."
Hearing Selena's words, the passing people were shocked speechless.
The Turner family's young lady dared to come to the gambling on stones for the first time and boasted that she would take away all the best jade stones in the entire venue. Wasn't she crazy?
Suddenly, a group of people who were not willing to give up before looked at Selena with disdain and turned around to leave.
After Leia and Hattie regained their senses, they immediately contained their shock.
Leia said, "I believe you will definitely win, Madam Selena!"
