Rebirth To Be The Revenge Queen novel Chapter 1717

Chapter 1717 - The Weather Has Changed

Carly was startled by Selena's sudden turn away from the administrative hall and towards the door. "My mother is not feeling well, please do not disturb her," she said as she walked inside.

Selena knew that it was impossible to make Madam Samantha leave completely. All they could do was try to keep her away from the upcoming bloody crime.

Finally understanding what Selena meant, Carly opened her mouth to speak but Selena turned back towards her. "Carly, you haven't told me yet who gave you that note to give me," she asked.

Carly's heart skipped a beat and she quickly kneeled down. "Your Highness, please don't ask me that question because... I cannot answer it."

"You just need to remember that whoever it is... won't harm you."

Selena looked straight at Carly with all of her memories restored and instantly felt reassured. She smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking a question. I won't force anything on you."

"But if something happens with him, you must tell me right away okay?"

Carly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded before trying to say something else but Selena had already turned around and spoke first. "Mr. Soo should be arriving soon so go greet him inside."

As Carly looked at Selena's calm demeanor with cold eyes, she suppressed the waves of shock in her heart before bowing respectfully and leaving the room.

Not long after Stanley walked in.

He saw a woman dressed in white sitting elegantly under the eaves with black hair flowing down like silk strands.

Perhaps due to experiencing transformation from girlhood into womanhood process - there were now deep traces of happiness between those eyebrows

Upon hearing a sound, Selena turned her head and met Stanley's gaze, unflinching. Their eyes locked onto each other.

In that moment, something heavy hung in the air.

After a long pause, Selena spoke first. "Stanley."

He looked at her quietly, his fingertips turning white.

"Do you have something to say to me?" she asked.

Stanley gazed deeply into her eyes and smiled tenderly with an unprecedented sincerity. "Selena, I like you. A lot... I really do."

Selena smiled back at him. "You're my best friend, my most loyal partner; we grew up together as childhood sweethearts and will build an empire together."

That was all there was to it.

Her heart belonged to another man.

Her gaze and tone clearly conveyed this message.

On this early morning with the sun just beginning its ascent into the sky, Stanley finally confessed his love for the girl he had grown up alongside holding dear in his arms.

Selena took his confession seriously but firmly rejected it because she did not love him back - not in that way anyway - as evidenced by her unwavering gaze upon him.

She had always been like this since she was young, steadfastly rejecting what she didn't like and continuously liking what she did.

After some time, Stanley finally withdrew his gaze.

He sat down across from Selena and his tone became serious. "There has been a lot of activity in the administrative hall this morning. Miss Governor may not be able to sit still!"

Selena smiled calmly and took on the topic. "Osvaldo is back, which means that behind me, I not only have the support of Riddle Group's empire but also..."

"In this situation," she continued as her pale fingertips picked up a chess piece from the board with a snap sound, "if she wants to kill me again, it's already impossible."

"But for me to kill her is as easy as flipping my hand."

"So..." Selena said while holding up another chess piece. "The best way is to completely eliminate all threats before Osvaldo's forces are mobilized."
