Chapter 465 The Origin of the Turner family
Noticing Selena's mood wasn't great, Leia blinked her eyes and tilted her head upwards, seriously
pondering for a moment before saying, "The Turner family used to be one of the Four Great Families in
the capital, but over twenty years ago, it seems that they incurred the wrath of someone and the entire
family suffered a devastating disaster. Overnight, the direct line of descent was almost wiped out."
Selena's slender fingers trembled uncontrollably.
Leia looked at her with a chilly profile and lowered her voice, "The leaders of the Turner family all died
in that calamity, and the whole family was severely weakened. Other families took advantage of the
situation to rise to power, with the Shaw family using the most ruthless methods."
"Thirteen years ago, the Shaw family took over the control of the Institute in the capital and officially
replaced the Turner family as one of the Four Great Families."
Selena stared at the familiar face in the mirror and slowly clenched her fingers.
Leia sensed her breath becoming more intimidating and stopped talking, feeling a bit scared.
Selena's voice was cold and gentle as it came through, "Is there more?"
After all, Leia was still young and had not experienced that era personally. Her understanding of and
knowledge about the Turner family were all heard from other people's mouths.
Leia racked her brains for a while, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "I heard that the last heir of the Turner
family was an extraordinary and stunning young man who was more popular than our young master's
father in the capital."
"After all, that person from the Anderson family, his temper... "
Selena looked at the girl in the mirror, and the natural elegance in her eyes made her realize
something, "Extraordinary and stunning?"
"Yes, how did that saying go?" Leia thought for a moment, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "Unmatched in
elegance and unparalleled in the world. That's him. Unfortunately, such a character died young..."
Selena lowered her long eyelashes to cover the emotions in her eyes and asked, "How did he die?"
Leia shook her head, "I don't know..."
She carefully observed Selena's expression and said, "Madam, if you want to know, you can ask young
master."
Leia didn't know why Selena suddenly became interested in the Turner family.
And why their master, who was clearly present, did not intervene.
Selena seemed to ponder for a moment, turned on the tap and washed her hands.
Then she stood up straight, gathered all the unusual emotions on her face, and returned to her usual
elegant and indifferent demeanor.
Selena turned around and said to Leia, "Go tell the young master of the Turner family that I'll be waiting
for him in the coffee shop across the street."
Leia remembered the drink that their master had instructed her to replace and a hint of killing intent
flashed through her eyes, "Yes, Madam!"
Leia turned around and left for the hall.
Selena left the hotel from the other side.
In the banquet hall.
After Selena left, Leah waited anxiously.
She saw Selena drink that glass of wine with her own eyes, so there would be no accidents.
Dominic stood beside her and seemed to notice her distraction. He asked, "Leah, what's wrong?"
Despite Leah's bad reputation, she was still one of the top contenders for the championship, and
without Selena, she had the highest popularity in the room.
After all, the sales record she set with "Morning Snow" three years ago was unparalleled. Countless
media outlets interviewed her, and top executives from major conglomerates came to talk to her, all
expressing a desire to collaborate.
However, Leah's competition entry for this year had already been agreed upon and would be produced
and sold in collaboration with the Riddle family and the Walson family.
As her fiancé, Dominic was naturally qualified to bask in her success and became the object of flattery.
After he helped turn down several companies that wanted to collaborate, he clearly noticed that Leah
was uneasy.
She frequently raised her hand to look in a certain direction, as if waiting for someone.
Dominic followed her gaze and saw Selena's assistant run over with a panicked expression, saying
something to the young master of the Turner family.
Patrick seemed to frown and walked towards the door.
Then the assistant found a hotel waitress and said something to him before turning around and running
out.
Selena was never seen throughout the evening.
Dominic's brow furrowed as he unconsciously looked around, trying to find Selena. "If you're worried,
Dominic, you can go ask," Leah's low voice suddenly came from his ear.
Dominic was taken aback and lowered his head, "Leah..."
Leah whispered, "You grew up with Selena, so it's natural to care about her."
Dominic looked at her pale and delicate eyebrows and wanted to explain something, "Leah, I..."
Leah's sharp nails dug deep into her palm, and her tone showed no emotions, "Dominic, I've said it
before, you, me, and Selena grew up together, so it's only natural to care about her. If you keep Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
explaining yourself, it only shows that you're... guilty."
Dominic's face changed slightly, "That's not true!"
He looked at Leah and walked towards the waitress, "I'll go ask."
Leah looked at his back, her eyes flickering. After a while, a worried expression appeared in her eyes.
Leah lowered her eyes and her pupils couldn't be seen clearly. "Dominic, where's Selena?" Dominic
looked worried, "Selena's assistant said that Selena suddenly felt unwell and went back to her room."
Leah's crimson lips twitched slightly. To be on the safe side, she naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to
drug Selena in public, as it would be too easy to see through. She just needed to make sure that
Selena could take the first step...
Leah lowered her eyebrows and looked fragile and harmless. She whispered, "Selena is not feeling
well, should we call a doctor? What did she tell the hotel staff?"
Dominic thought the question was a bit strange and glanced at Leah. "She didn't know where to find a
doctor, so she asked."
Leah seemed stunned for a moment, and the curve of her lips deepened. "Selena's assistant went to
find a doctor for her now?"
Dominic nodded absentmindedly as he thought about Selena being sick.
Leah smiled. Originally, she was thinking about how to deal with the skilled assistant. She didn't expect
that the assistant would go help Selena find a doctor, so she wouldn't need her backup plan anymore.
This meant that Selena was now alone and on her way back to her room. Once she entered her room...
Leah's palms were sweating profusely. However, the plan was going too smoothly, and she began to
feel uneasy, feeling that something was not quite right.
Leah looked up and searched around. Suddenly, she frowned and said, "Dominic, where is Angie?"
Dominic was taken aback...
