Osvaldo ignored him and just stretched out his long arm to hug Selena, holding her in his arms. At the same time, he completely blocked Christ's line of sight towards Selena.
Selena didn't realize what had happened until she was embraced by the man. A layer of offended anger surged in her eyes. She wanted to speak but Osvaldo stopped her with his hand on her head.
The man looked down at her with a shadow seeming to obscure his eyes, which was somewhat intimidating. "Don't let him see you!" he said.
Selena looked at the man's abnormal cold face in confusion, while the bloody aura in Christ's eyes was almost overflowing.
As they were about to fight, Luke suddenly pulled out a gun from his body and aimed it at Isabel, who had left Christ's protective circle at some point.
The man smiled but his eyes were grim. "Mr. Poole, it would be better if you let her go, or else your most beloved sister will have blood splattered on the spot."
Isabel had been retreating in her wheelchair, afraid of being affected and injured. But when she backed up, she became Christ's biggest weakness.
She looked at the black muzzle aimed at her head and screamed in fear. "Bang!" The bullet was fired, grazing Isabel's hand and causing her to scream in agony.
Christ's temples throbbed. "Shut up!" he said.
Isabel was frightened by his fierce gaze and trembled all over as she covered her mouth. She knew she had caused trouble, but if it could make Christ release Selena and let that bitch leave, it would benefit her too.
Thinking of this, Isabel forced herself to suppress the bone-chilling fear and cried, "Brother, save me... I don't want to die..."
Christ stared at her coldly, his eyes fierce and terrifying. Isabel's face turned pale and she trembled all over. She had always known that Christ was very frightening, but this was the first time she had witnessed such a scene.
Even Luke, who she had always thought was gentle and romantic, looked so cold and frightening with the gun in his hand. This was not an area she was qualified to touch. She didn't want... nor did she have the courage.
Isabel was extremely frightened and tears streamed down her face. "Luke, don't kill me... Brother... save me..." Christ clenched his fists tightly as he stared at Selena, who was being protected in Osvaldo's embrace. Luke wasn't the type to be easily swayed. He said he was going to kill Isabel, and Isabel was undoubtedly going to die.
Christ shifted his gaze from Selena to Osvaldo and let out a cold laugh, "You better make sure Selena doesn't fall into my hands, or I will definitely make her suffer!"
"He will never get what he wants if I have anything to say about it," he thought.
Osvaldo's eyes, which had just softened slightly, grew colder again. To avoid frightening Selena, he almost forcibly carried her out.
Selena seemed to sense the man beside her was on the verge of losing control. She obediently allowed herself to be held like a pretty vase, while the man protected her in his arms.
She could almost feel the two hot gazes behind her, sticking to her back with a chilling aura.
After Osvaldo left with Selena, Luke leisurely put away his gun and smiled cynically, "Sorry for the trouble tonight, Mr. Poole. My apologies."
"Christ is a great character, but unfortunately, he has a teammate who is holding him back too much," he thought.
Luke glanced disdainfully at Isabel before turning and leaving. Osvaldo's men followed suit and left like running water.
In an instant, all the outsiders had left, leaving the entire hall in a deadly silence.
Isabel sat on her wheelchair, trembling with fear, too scared to make a sound.
The look on Christ's face made her unable to speak a word.
The tension in the room was so thick that the next second, with a loud bang, Christ's fist smashed heavily onto the table, shattering it into pieces.
Isabel was so scared that she shivered all over but kept her mouth tightly closed, afraid that the man's fist would land directly on her.
...
Selena was brought into the car by the man and driven home by the driver.
Observing Osvaldo's expression, Selena wrinkled her brows slightly, realizing that her husband was angry.
And it was all her fault.
She needed to coax him.
Selena raised her hand and carefully placed it into the man's cool palm. She looked up at him, her voice soft and sweet, "I have nothing to do with that man just now..."
Even if she did, he was their enemy.
Osvaldo had initially decided to ignore her for a few days to teach her a lesson so that she would remember not to run off with other men again. But he suddenly realized that this was an incredibly difficult task.
Especially her sweet voice made his heart race, and his body reacted as if it had a mind of its own. He betrayed his reason and took control, holding her hand tightly in his.
Selena blinked and her smile became even sweeter.
Osvaldo was stunned.
Since he couldn't resist the cold, the man couldn't resist any longer. He lifted her up and let her sit on his lap, holding her slender waist with both hands.
He held Selena like a delicate doll in his arms.
Selena knew she was in the wrong and intentionally tried to please him, so she did not refuse.
Osvaldo lowered his head and brushed her face, their foreheads touching lightly. There was a hint of intimacy between them.
The man's dark gaze stared at her motionlessly, with a hint of affection in his eyes. He smiled, "Am I your 'brother'?"
Selena's curled eyelashes trembled, and a blush spread across her face. She felt guilty as she said, "Husband is just like a brother."
Therefore, she didn't feel like she was deceiving anyone.
Osvaldo laughed softly and his dark and enchanting eyes locked onto her. Looking at her playful appearance, he almost couldn't resist kissing her right then and there.
Fortunately, he restrained himself.
If he had kissed her while she was still conscious, she might have pushed him away and run far away.
Being married to a beautiful wife but unable to do anything about it was really frustrating.
Osvaldo suppressed his restless desire and ran his fingertips over Selena's delicate eyes. He asked softly, "Why did you go with him?"
Klara and Selena are not related, and Klara is not important enough for Selena to sacrifice herself to save her.
Selena chose to go with Christ for a deeper reason.
A hint of distress appeared on Selena's face, and she sighed lightly. "I lost something important and wanted to go see Isabel and try my luck to see if she took it..."
Osvaldo's deep black eyes glinted with a faint chill. "What did you lose?"
Selena's eyes flashed with coldness. "It's a string of-"

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...
