Hattie immediately nodded, "Mm, this is a secret between Hattie and Selena, and nobody should tell anyone!"
Selena smiled, "Good."
In the hall, the sisters were talking, and the man behind the stairs turned and left quietly.
...
Selena rested in the room for three days, and after confirming that the injury on her wrist wouldn't affect her surgery, Osvaldo finally relented and allowed her to return to school.
At seven o'clock, Leia parked the car under the shade of a tree, and Selena stepped out and looked up at the familiar campus, smiling slightly.
Suddenly, a sudden gaze fell on her.
Selena frowned, turned her head, and saw a man standing on the steps of the coffee shop across the street.
Although she was too far to see his expression, he was looking at her motionlessly.
Leia's eyes showed a guarded look, blocking Selena behind her, her brow furrowed as if to kill a fly. "What is this Mr. Poole doing here again?"
Every time Christ found Selena, it wasn't for a good reason.
As a result, every time Leia saw him, she subconsciously raised all her defenses.
Selena's eyes flashed with something, she patted Leia's shoulder and said, "Wait for me here."
Leia was taken aback, "But, Madam-"
Selena shook her head at her warningly, "It's okay."
Leia glared at Christ as a warning but ultimately obediently waited in place.
Selena walked towards Christ, stopping three meters away from him, looking at him unblinkingly.
Christ didn't seem to have rested well these days, his face looked haggard, and he had faint dark circles under his eyes.
He looked at the girl standing in front of him, her eyes clear and cold, with a hint of distance.
After staring at her for a while, Christ spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse, "You hate me, don't you?"
Selena smiled, moved her gaze away from him, and looked at the sunrise in the distance, her voice very soft, "No."
Christ's eyes darkened, and he heard Selena say, "I just feel... regretful."
Selena had so many powerful protectors, but unfortunately, none of these people appeared while she was alive.
Christ's face turned ashen, his lips tight, biting down on his teeth. "So you..."
It made sense. If Selena hadn't remembered, given her personality, how could she have revealed her secret to him?
She even agreed to let him take Isabel away.
"I agreed to let you take Isabel away because he asked," as if she knew what he was thinking, Selena turned her head, staring into his eyes, and said extremely coldly, "Even if you didn't do anything, I wouldn't have let Isabel live."
After all, Christ's feelings for Isabel, whom he had grown up with, were not fake.
Selena had no doubt that this man would let Isabel go if she had asked him to.
She agreed, but until now, she hasn't been able to relax and feels that letting Isabel go was a wrong decision.
Looking into the girl's icy eyes, Christ felt as though even his fingertips were frozen.
Isabel is one of the killers.
As a result, Christ also became an accomplice.
Selena regarded fulfilling the wishes of the deceased girl as her responsibility, but she never thought of taking possession or enjoying everything that belonged to Selena without remorse.
Whether it was Talon or Christ, they were all Selena's emotions.
Even Osvaldo should have been Selena's fiancé.
A faint ripple passed through Selena's eyes.
But he was the only man she had actively pursued, so he was different from the rest.
The rest had nothing to do with her.
So rational, yet so ruthless.
Selena snapped out of her hidden emotions, raised her eyebrows and looked at Christ. "I don't know what you'll do when you find out about that secret, but if you try to use me to threaten Osvaldo, I won't hold back."
After speaking, she turned and headed towards the school gate.
Christ stared at her back, his face turning pale, and gritted his teeth. "Do you really think I would choose to hurt you for my own benefit... what about Osvaldo? Do you really trust him that much?"
Selena's footsteps paused slightly, and she lowered her curled eyelashes. "He won't hurt me."
Christ laughed out of anger, his eyes filled with heavy sarcasm. "Selena, you don't understand at all what kind of person that man is..."
Selena tilted her head slightly and looked at him. "What exactly do you want to say?"

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...
