In the end, Selena politely declined Lady Lauren's request to come over, citing the late hour. However, she personally called her and made plans to go shopping with her the next afternoon.
The Turner family was very efficient, and two hours later, Selena had a brand new bedroom and study.
The butler stood to the side with a apologetic expression and said, "Miss, due to time constraints, we couldn't find a professional designer in time. Please bear with it for two days, and once the new room is designed, you can move in then."
There is a strong culture of comparison within the aristocratic circles in the capital, especially among the young ladies of each family, who can argue over even a single dress.
However, the Turner family only had Patrick in so many years, and they had no experience raising a daughter.
Selena, who looked extremely delicate, made the Turner family very worried that she might feel wronged as the new young lady of the house.
Selena shook her head gently and said in a gentle tone, "There's no need for so much trouble. This is already good enough."
As she spoke, she sat down at the desk and opened the things that Leia had just brought.
Seeing that she was going to be busy, the butler and his men quietly left the room.
Selena sat at the desk, concentrating on the distribution of power in the capital, her eyes and brows furrowed with deep thought.
The light outside the window gradually darkened.
She lost track of time and was suddenly startled by the sudden brightening of the lights.
Selena looked up to see Osvaldo standing in front of the desk, his gaze deep and intense.
Selena remembered that the man had said he would come to see her at night before he left, feeling a bit regretful that she had forgotten about it.
She smiled happily at him and said, "You're here."
Osvaldo leaned forward with his hands on the desk, staring deeply into Selena's eyes. "You, you are my wife and should come home with me."
Selena smiled at him and couldn't resist touching his delicate and handsome face. "No need, thank you for doing so much for me," she said, feeling a bit helpless, "I don't even know how to repay you."
Osvaldo stared at her eyes without moving, with a low chuckle. "If I were in danger, would you just stand by and do nothing?"
"No," Selena shook her head firmly. "I would protect you!"
Just like how he had helped her and protected her.
Osvaldo smiled. "So don't hold me accountable for these things."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand to Selena.
Selena glanced at the clock on the wall, realizing that the man was taking her out to dinner.
She smiled and obediently placed her hand in Osvaldo's palm, letting him lead her out of the study.
Before leaving, Osvaldo turned back and looked deeply at the empty study.
On Selena's desk were the freshly written words in four sharp-edged pen strokes.
To kill in self-defense!
...
During the time when Osvaldo accompanied Selena for dinner, the news that the Jackson family and the Gallagher family's properties were being seized, and their officials were being investigated, had spread throughout the entire capital.
The entire upper-class society was in an uproar.

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...
