"I'll personally take her there," Osvaldo said.
Leia was shocked. Given Osvaldo's extreme paranoia, how could he actually allow Selena to meet a man who coveted her? He even wanted to personally escort Selena there.
Unless... Selena's reason for meeting Christ was really as compelling as she said. It was enough to make Osvaldo back down and even choose to condone it.
Leia immediately turned to find Christ's phone number.
...
A slender hand picked up the vibrating phone on the table. The man's handsome face showed no surprise as he looked at the flashing number on the screen.
Christ held the phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the capital outside for a moment before pressing the answer button.
A cold voice of a young girl came through the speaker, "Mr. Poole, are you free tonight?"
Christ's lips curled up. "Miss Turner wants to have tea with me?"
Selena's voice was warm and elegant. "I don't know if I have the honor."
Christ's eyes darkened. "Of course, but the condition is that you can't bring him along!"
Selena paused for a moment before her tone wavered slightly. "I can't hurt him for anyone."
Christ sneered and hung up the phone.
Then he lowered his eyes and called Osvaldo.
...
An hour later, Selena put on her coat and walked out of the villa with her long hair loose. When she stepped out of the gate, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Osvaldo leaned against the car door with his black hair and eyes, cold white skin, and exquisite features that were too distinct in the dusk.
The man's deep gaze quietly fell on her, and he walked over and reached out to touch her hair.
Selena came to her senses and tried to explain, "I..."
Although she didn't know much about love, she was the most responsible and empathetic girl. When she refused Christ earlier, she didn't know that Osvaldo already knew about it. She just didn't want to hurt him in any way.
It was only now that Selena realized that she was the only one who had left the house. Leia didn't follow her.
Osvaldo's translucent fingertips brushed her eyes, and his eyes looked at her with bone-deep tenderness and compassion. "Selena, don't be afraid."
Selena's curled eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.
Osvaldo took her cold hand, opened the car door, and led her to the passenger seat.
Then, he drove the car and took her away from the villa.
A black sports car drove smoothly on the road, and Selena held her chin with her delicate white hands, looking at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window with bustling traffic and colorful lights. Suddenly, she said, "I've been to the capital before."
Osvaldo's eyes became even darker, but he didn't say anything. A layer of heart-wrenching emotion seemed to be shrouded between his delicate eyes as he listened quietly to her.
Christ mistook Selena, who grew up in the capital, for someone from a faraway city. It was clear that there was a problem.
"But I can't remember anything..." Selena's voice was muffled, and she seemed particularly concerned and uncomfortable about her memory loss.
She raised her hand and pressed her forehead with restraint. It seemed that not only Selena's memory was missing, but there was also a deeply buried unforgettable past, which made her feel an unprecedented sense of oppression and loss of control whenever she touched upon it.
Selena felt uncomfortable, but more than that, she felt lost.
Her memories from childhood to adulthood were complete and there was no sudden appearance of people like Christ. Then why did she still feel this empty and uncomfortable feeling?
It was even more uncomfortable than the feeling she had during the fragrance competition when something suddenly appeared.

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...
