Selena smiled sweetly and said, "Shopping for clothes."
Osvaldo looked into her dark eyes with a deep gaze and caressed her hair for a long time. "You little rascal, grow up quickly."
Selena could hear the husky tone in his voice and blushed.
Osvaldo held her down for a while before reluctantly lying down beside her, holding she in his arms and turning off the light at the same time.
The room became dim.
Under the faint light, Selena rested her head on the man's arm and rubbed against him, closing her eyes contentedly.
...
After the situation in the research institute stabilized, Selena had some free time and focused all her thoughts on her engagement with Osvaldo.
Leia walked in with an invitation card and looked extremely agitated.
"Madam Selena!"
Selena, who was sitting on a rattan chair reading a book, put it down and looked up to see the girl with eyebrows that were not eyes that were not eyes standing in front of her.
Selena couldn't help but chuckle. "What's wrong?"
Leia handed the invitation card to Selena in an angry manner. "The Soo family just sent a special envoy to deliver this to Madam Selena."
Selena raised her eyebrows.
Unless there were special circumstances, Leia would not have brought the invitation card to her.
Selena's slender fingers took the invitation card and scanned it, her eyes showing a hint of confusion. "A stone gambling tournament?"
Leia held her chin with both hands and squatted in front of her, saying angrily, "The Soo family is one of the oldest families in the capital, with a heritage that has been passed down for many generations. Nine out of ten antique, jade, stone gambling, and Feng Shui industries in the capital belong to them..."
Selena played with the invitation card with her slender fingers and stared at the girl.
Even if the Soo family was rich, it wouldn't make Leia so angry.
Leia was angry as she said, "Madam Selena, I received another piece of news in addition to this invitation card."
"The Riddle family will also participate in this stone gambling tournament."
"Moreover, there is news that Nicholas intends to announce the engagement between Hattie and the Soo family's second young master at the tournament."
Selena's eyes grew cold.
Nicholas invited all the major families in the capital to participate in the stone gambling tournament, and Maddox announced that he would attend in person. This was clearly a blatant demonstration against the Turner family.
Given the Turner family's style, they naturally wouldn't pay attention to it. But not only did Nicholas send her a separate invitation, he also threw out such news!
Everyone knows that Cameron was previously in a relationship with Penelope. However, Penelope was arrested on charges of treason and could never have the chance to marry into the Soo family again, even if she had the opportunity to come out in this lifetime.
In preparation for today's event, the Soo family had sent someone to Myanmar to bring back a batch of raw stones.
Perhaps because they lost face at the Turner family's last event, the Soo family deviated from their usual low-key approach and made the scene extremely grand and luxurious.
Nicholas arrived at the venue early with all the Soo family's children and grandchildren.
The spacious hall was filled with all kinds of raw stones, seemingly endless at first glance. Although there had been many exciting events in the capital recently, most people were just bystanders. Rarely did opportunities arise to get rich quick like this one.
To select good raw stones, guests invited by the Soo family had arrived early. Ordinary jewelers gathered on the first floor, while the elite of the major families were arranged on the second floor. Alfie stood at the door, graciously welcoming guests, while Aurelia stood by his side, exuding elegance and charm, looking like a couple.
The truth about the engagement between Mr. Soo and Miss Turner was already well-known to the public. While people cursed Nicholas for his shamelessness, there were also sympathizers for Alfie. Now, seeing the exceptionally beautiful and poised Aurelia by his side, people's emotions were complex. However, this was still the Soo family's turf, and even if they disliked it, no one dared to openly say anything.
When the Riddle family arrived at the venue, it caused a great stir.
Not only had Maddox come, but even Daphne, who had been claiming illness and bedridden, had also come. The woman supporting Daphne, who was intimately walking beside her, was not the familiar Mrs. Riddle.
Looking at Kaitlyn, who was held by the woman's hand, and Hunter, who was guarding the mother and daughter, the identity of the other party was about to be revealed.
A chorus of gasps echoed in the hall.
"Mr. Riddle, didn't he nail this woman to the position of the third party? How does she have the qualifications to appear so openly at this event?!"
"Mr. Riddle and Mrs. Riddle haven't shown up, and the ones who came were the third party and her family. The Riddle family is really..."

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
