Ace of Hearts smiled and delicately lifted Stanley's chin with her slender fingertips. "Who has the most charm?" she asked.
Stanley looked into her eyes and smirked. "So, where did she go tonight?"
Seeing the coldness in his gaze, Ace of Hearts straightened up and withdrew her hand calmly.
"Or perhaps I should rephrase," Stanley said coolly. "Who did she go to see?"
Ace of Hearts chuckled. "May I ask what identity Mr. Soo is using to ask me this question?"
"If it's just as childhood friends, then I can answer that," Stanley replied.
"But if it's another identity..." Ace of Hearts flicked a strand of red hair from her cheek with a delicate finger. "... I'm afraid Mr. Soo won't get an answer."
In other words, Selena was her master.
She wouldn't reveal Selena's whereabouts to anyone.
Not even this person in front of her.
Stanley smiled slightly and put down the chess piece in his hand. "You still dote on her as always."
Opal raised an eyebrow.
Stanley stood up and smiled warmly. "I apologize for intruding without invitation; this is my apology."
He placed an exquisite jewelry box on the table before turning around and leaving.
Opal frowned at Stanley's departing figure, feeling conflicted inside.
Although she didn't tell Stanley where Selena was, her words revealed a lot of information. Few people could hide Selena's identity from him and Lillian for a whole year. This person... wouldn't fail to guess Osvaldo's identity!
...
The next morning, Osvaldo finally took Selena away from the vineyard. The young girl sat in the passenger seat, looking at the man driving.
