Patrick coughed lightly and calmly but said, "After you find her, it's best to bury the existence of the ruby completely in Creephia. Most likely, it was brought back by that man..."
Within the capital, they still have confidence in dealing with it internally.
Osvaldo watched personally, and those aristocratic families dared not make any moves in public and could only do small things behind the scenes. But once it involved those people from back then and Selena's situation, it would be far more dangerous than it is now.
After all, even the prestigious Turner family was destroyed in that catastrophe. They all understood that although Selena's background was only vaguely known at the moment, it would not remain a secret for long after the Creephia University incident.
No one could guarantee that if Selena returned to the capital in the future as Lady Nevaeh and that man's daughter, with that mysterious ruby, whether she would encounter a similar disaster.
Patrick's intention was clear. Anyone who had seen the ruby and was connected to the power in the capital must disappear completely.
These men were not good people to begin with, and if it involved Selena's life and safety, they would be even more ruthless than anyone else.
Osvaldo's eyes narrowed, and he hung up the phone, stepped on the brakes, and ran into the hotel as as possible.
...
Inside the hotel room, just as the knife was about to plunge into Selena's heart, a slender hand grabbed Isabel's wrist.
Isabel's sharp and hoarse laughter came to an abrupt end.
Selena coldly looked down at her and mocked her, "The bodyguards were hit because Christ had them protecting you. This trick not only kills those who protect you, but it won't work on those who dislike you!"
With a sudden force, Selena caused intense pain in Isabel's wrist, causing her to scream, and the knife fell into Selena's hand.
The next second, Selena held the knife to Isabel's neck. The cold blade still had a hint of a bloody smell and was close to her throat. With just a light stroke, it could cut her throat and cause fresh blood to pour out.
Isabel's face turned pale, and she struggled violently, "No no no! Don't kill me! Help me! Please help me!!"
Selena sneered, turned her head to a certain direction in the room, with a cold tone and a hint of ridicule, "As expected, they are all families who can't show their faces in public, and they actually partnered with such a foolish person..."
With Selena's words, seven or eight people walked out from various corners of the room.
Leia stood in front of Selena at the first time, holding the lucky cat and staring at them with a murderous look.
The man in charge wore an exaggerated fox mask, and his hairstyle and dress were particularly wild. He stared at Selena and sounded like a curious young boy, "Why are you okay?"
Incense was lit in the room, and normal people who inhaled it would fall into a deep coma within three minutes.
But they had been waiting for so long, and both Selena and Leia, who was protecting her, stood there perfectly fine.
This obviously made the man particularly puzzled.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Selena's eyes, and she laughed lightly, "Before taking the job, don't you investigate my information? To the champion of the national fragrance industry, using aphrodisiacs is really stupid!"
The man with the fox mask stared at her, his eyes cold, and lifted his lips slowly, "I see. Although you are very smart, unfortunately, you guessed wrong about one thing..."

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...
