Chapter 373 Osvaldo's Mother
Lauren knitted her brows slightly, her face was melancholy, her beauty made people feel endlessly protective.
As she looked at the faces of the two beauties, Luke knew that this meeting was not the least bit pleasant for a mother-in-law to see her daughter-in-law for the first time.
It may be full of contradictions.
Lauren is the elder and may still have the upper hand, but Selena is not one to obey.
Luke frowned and looked at Lauren, "Madam, Lady Selena has a hot temper, if she has offended you in any way, it must be an unintentional mistake, so don't take it personally with her."
Lady Lauren shook her head, her radiant eyes hiding emotions that no one else could see, "It's not what you think."
No one knows better than her how critical and demanding her son's vision is.
And no one understood better than she did just how hard it was for him to like a girl.
Lauren can accept a daughter-in-law with a difficult background, even if she is really domineering and scandal-ridden.
However, she could not accept a girl who did not love her son.
She had never seen in Selena's eyes the slightest hint of care or fondness for Osvaldo.
When she mentions Osvaldo, her tone was of gratitude and appreciation.
Nevaeh's fierceness and determination were well known to all. If she had been willing to bow down back then, she would not have left the capital in the end and died in the distant Creephia.
Selena was her daughter. Lauren knew from the first moment she saw the girl that she was the same as her mother.
The same pride, the same determination, the same obstinacy to the point of preferring to be pulverised rather than bowing down and admitting fault.
Such an admirably brave and strong, yet ruthless and cold girl is destined to be a disaster for the man who falls for her.
In particular, Osvaldo.
Lauren was sad, and exuded an air of vulnerability and helplessness.
The eyes of Luke twitched vaguely as he watched.
Lauren had come to see her daughter-in-law with great joy, but if she returned with such a sad face, the big shot of her family would personally come to Creephia and kill his son.
Vivian stepped forward and held Lauren, softly soothing, "Madam, don't be upset."
Lauren shook her head, the softness and helplessness on her face disappeared in a flash, returning to that condescending coolness of the past, "Tell him after I leave."
Luke was startled, "You're leaving? Without seeing him?"
Lauren smiled, "Luke, do you think that if I tell him that his wife has bullied his mother, he would help me teach his wife a lesson?"
Luke was stunned
Don't expect it.
Lauren became sad, "How could I have given birth to such an unfilial son"
Luke drove Lauren to the airport himself.
Before Lauren boarded the plane, she took one last look back at Creephia behind her.
Giving Nevaeh's relics to Selena was the only thing she could do for her son.
As to whether it would help him keep the girl, who knows?
...
Selena walked out of the manor and soothed her heart.
That was Selena's mother, not hers.
She had already burdened Selena's life, and was not obliged to carry Nevaeh's hatred any longer.
She had her own blood feud.
Her home, her native land, her loved ones are still waiting for her.
She had not yet sent the souls of those who had died on the battlefield in to the Monument of the Souls.
Selena lifted her fingers and rubbed her brows.
Leia drove Selena back to the castle.
She carefully observed Selena's emotions and said in a low voice, "Madam."
Selena shook her head, "It's alright, I'll go and take a nap."
Selena went upstairs to take a nap, unaware that in just half a day, a new opinion about her had emerged.
Just as the gossip about her on the internet had just subsided because of Riddle's intervention in the capital, a group of men who claimed to have had a relationship with Selena appeared on the live streaming platform, each speaking with reason.
There were even people who had flung out alleged photos as evidence.
In a flash, people who had just suffered a defeat on the Weibo platform flocked to the platform as if they were sharks that had caught the scent of blood.
The heat of conversation instantly skyrocketed.
The topic of the Riddle family's second young lady's disordered private life has once again caused a stir in the entire live world.
...
Tonyan Town.
The crew of "Breaking Ground" had just finished filming their morning scenes, and only now did they have time to scroll through their phones.
Then they learnt about Selena's scandal-ridden affairs.
Hattie was angry after reading it, "Bastard."
Estrella watched the girl's eyes turn red with anger and hastily poured her a cup of warm water.
Hattie is only thirteen, and although some bad things have happened to her, she has not really seen the darkness of the world.
The other faces in the cast were unpleasant to read the news.
To use such a vicious charge to victimise a girl, those with a slightly lesser mental capacity would probably not be able to accept it.
Hattie turned around and was about to go find a plane and go back to Creephia.
Estrella stopped her and softly reassured her, "Hattie, it's already happened, it's too late to rush back at this time. Wait longer, with Lady Selena's boyfriend around, Lady Selena will be fine."
Lady Selena's boyfriend is not someone to be messed with, will not let Selena suffer an injustice.
Hattie lowered her head, pondered for a moment, then raised her head, her eyes cold as she asked, "Estrella, when Osvaldo sees these things, will he leave Selena?"
Estrella's face changed and she was somewhat speechless.
Although Lady Selena's boyfriend did not look like such a superficial person, it was impossible for any man to be indifferent when he saw his woman got into such a scandal.
It's not cheating or any other crime, it's a woman who belongs to him.
It is difficult for a man, even if he loves a woman, to remain calm and sensible in such a situation.
And what Selena, who has suffered these things, needs most at this time is protection and comfort.
If he showed the slightest suspicion and distrust of Selena at this time, according to Selena's nature, it would be the end of their relationship.
Seeing that Estrella did not say anything, Hattie ran to find her mobile phone and called Selena.
She dialled the number and it was answered soon.
"Selena!"
Leia's low voice came over the phone, "Madam is sleeping, what's wrong?"
Hattie looked at her watch, it was just after twelve o'clock, but Selena never took a nap at this time.

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...
