Christ, from the capital, made her feel very dangerous and unpredictable.
Selena's cold, mocking gaze fell on Christ's face, "Christ Poole?"
Christ's eyes sank.
There was no denial.
Luke once said that Isabel had harmed this girl.
For the executioner who connived at Isabel, it is only natural that she would know his name and loathe him.
He just didn't expect that she would be so quick to guess it on her own.
She really does know James.
This girl is more intelligent than he had thought.
The sneer on Selena's face grew heavier and heavier, hooking up her red lips, and her voice was cold, "That Christ Poole who connived at Isabel's brutalization of innocents and loss of conscience?"
Christ frowned, a touch more displeasure under his eyes.
He did like this girl.
But it was far from the point where he could lower himself to actively ingratiate her.
After all, Isabel was someone he had defended for more than ten years and had deep feelings for. Naturally, he would not really punish Isabel just for the sake of Selena whom he had only met three times.
Selena's emotions at the moment, from Christ's point of view, were just a girl's momentary anger after being aggrieved and hurt, as long as he patiently coaxed and compensated her, it was no big deal.
Christ did not speak, only his breath sank around him.
The atmosphere in the box, however, grew tighter and tighter.
The crowd strained their hearts and looked at Selena in disbelief.
Everyone could see at this moment that the look in Selena's eyes at this moment was clearly a grudge against Isabel.
Associated with the evil things Isabel did, the mood of the crowd was a bit indescribable.
They watched Selena, and just when everyone thought that she would throw a tantrum at Christ, she turned her eyes away.
Christ's eyes sank.
He was prepared that Selena would question him, or even scold him in a rage, but he did not expect her to turn her eyes away without saying a word after she had established his identity.
Such an icy calm is definitely not a good thing.
It could only mean that the grudge between this girl and Isabel was far deeper and more difficult to resolve than he had imagined.
As Christ was just about to speak, he saw Selena's eyes fell on the man who had just spoken up.
Christ's brow furrowed even more as he raised his eyes to look over, did she not only know James, but even knew the Riddle family?
That man did not expect that Selena would look at him either.
He looked at Selena's dark eyes, a hint of something vaguely swept under his eyes, and asked, "Miss, you know me?"
Selena stared at his eyes that were a bit similar to Hattie's and asked, "Who are you?"
The man smiled, "I am Leon Riddle."
There was a shock in the box.
Selena even heard a number of women whispering.
"Leon Riddle."
"The youngest master of the Riddle family in the capital. I heard that he is the next heir."
"No wonder he can sit on an equal footing with Mr. Poole. Surprisingly, he is the famous and glorious young master of the Riddle family in the capital."
