Selena walked into the Rose Palace, and the waiting maids inside all bowed to her before silently leaving. In the quiet space, Selena approached the door step by step. As she was about to push open the door, her heart suddenly skipped a beat for no apparent reason. It seemed like something beyond her control was about to happen.
Selena rubbed her eyelids with her hand and tried to calm herself down. The person Stanley brought her to see shouldn't be someone who would harm her, right? Then where did this ominous feeling come from?
Seeing Selena stop in place, Stanley turned around and asked gently, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"
Selena remained silent for a few seconds before saying, "I need to make a phone call. I'll be back soon."
Stanley watched as Selena walked away step by step until she reached the stairs and took out her phone to call Osvaldo.
"Selena, what's up?" Osvaldo answered quickly on his end of the line.
She heard the sound of a racing car in the background; Osvaldo must have gone out already.
She remembered that he had told her last night that he was going to meet someone today and would tell her about his relationship with that big brother when he came back.
Osvaldo would never deceive her. If he said he would tell her, then he definitely would. Even if the existence of that big brother might hurt her, he wouldn't hide it from her. Because he knew what she wanted most. And this man must have been prepared to make sure she wouldn't be sad or upset while telling her the truth.
Selena smiled slightly and said, "Osvaldo, I'm at the suburban palace waiting for you to finish your business and come pick me up, okay?"
She usually wouldn't make such a demanding request. But tonight... for some reason she really wanted to see him.
Osvaldo's voice was gentle and indulgent as always. "Okay." He seemed to check his watch before giving a definite time: "I'll come get you in forty minutes."
Selena curved her lips into a smile and replied, "I'll be waiting for you."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Selena looked up at the gradually darkening sky before turning around and walking into the Rose Palace.
Stanley watched as she walked back towards him and asked softly," What's wrong?"
Selena shook her head before looking up at him with determination in her eyes," Stanley... I will succeed in avenging Preston and others... right?"
Stanley looked at her with a hint of anxiety in her eyes, his voice firm. "Yes, Your Highness, you will return to that position and seek revenge for everyone."
Selena smiled and pushed away the gloom in her heart as she opened the door.
At the same time, a black sports car parked outside the Wang mansion. Osvaldo got out of the car - he was the one Selena had just called on the phone. His wife was always rational and level-headed; it was rare for her to make such an irrational request.
Osvaldo felt uneasy about it all.
He even considered turning around to find Selena...
But before he could act on that thought, someone walked out from inside Wang's mansion and said, "Excuse me sir."
Horace looked at the young man standing before him.
Even though Horace had been focused on taking care of Selena when she was sick all those years ago, he still remembered this young man who had saved his little mistress's life.
For one thing, his appearance made him unforgettable.
Upon investigation of the mercenary group that had kidnapped Selena, they discovered a crazed woman who revealed that a twelve-year-old boy had killed all of the mercenaries and burned down their hideout to rescue Selena. The thought of a twelve-year-old with such courage and character was chilling. But everything the boy did was for Selena. It could be said that Selena changed Osvaldo's life.
Perhaps it was because of this reason that the monarch allowed Selena to stay by his side in the past year.
Osvaldo walked into the palace, his presence clashing with its atmosphere. As he passed by another person, he caught a glimpse of their face before entering.
