Chapter 1182 You Know Your Uncle Has a Daughter
Matilda glanced at Selena again.
The girl's smiling face with delicate eyes made her feel somewhat familiar. She had once seen the
same elegant and cold smile on a young man, not because of his appearance, but because of the
feeling he gave off.
But Selena was the only daughter of the Turner family, and Nevaeh and Callum had only one daughter,
so she shouldn't have any connection with the other person.
Matilda collected her thoughts and stepped on the accelerator. The black sports car sped towards the
outskirts of the city.
...
At the same time, Osvaldo's car stopped at the gate of the Anderson family's mansion.
The man in black got out of the car and walked expressionlessly into the house.
Lady Lauren heard from the butler that her son had come back and was looking for someone. She saw
Osvaldo walking in alone and raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Why are you the only one back?
Where's Selena?"
Osvaldo's tone was very flat, "She's busy."
Although Osvaldo still had a poker face, Lady Lauren could tell from his demeanor that his mood was
not good. She knew exactly who could make him behave this way.
Lady Lauren was about to ask, but Osvaldo spoke first, "Where's Grandpa?"
"In the study," Lady Lauren looked at Osvaldo thoughtfully and said, "Son, your grandfather is getting
old and his health is not good. If he has any requests that you can fulfill... try to accommodate him as
much as possible."
Osvaldo turned and walked towards the study.
Lady Lauren sighed softly as she watched Osvaldo's departing figure.
She could probably guess the reason why her father-in-law had specifically asked Osvaldo to come
back today, and she wasn't sure if Osvaldo would agree to it. If this grandfather-grandson pair ended
up having a falling out... Lady Lauren began to consider whether she should ask Selena to intervene.
Benjamin stood beside her and saw the worry on Lady Lauren's face. He frowned, "Is this boy
disrespectful to his grandfather?"
"I know..." Lady Lauren frowned as well.
Although Osvaldo was a bit cold, he still had the respect he should have for his elders.
If not, she wouldn't have agreed to Antonio's unreasonable request and almost married Isabel.
So far, no one dares to accuse her son of being unfilial.
Lady Lauren is worried about other things.
Her sparkling pupils suddenly fell on Benjamin, "Benjamin, if you were in your son's position, would you
agree to the old man's request?"
Benjamin replied flatly, "I never answer hypothetical questions because they are meaningless except to
increase anxiety."
Although Osvaldo was his son, they were completely different people.
There is no comparison.
Lady Lauren understood the meaning in her husband's words, and her eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
She looked at Benjamin's face, which seemed to have come straight from a fantasy world, and thought
of Osvaldo's face, which was almost a carbon copy of his father's, and couldn't help but sigh at the
strength of the Anderson family's bloodline even after so many years.
Why didn't they have a daughter back then?
Thinking about it, it's still better to have a daughter-in-law.
At least her son doesn't have a cold face when she's around.
Osvaldo came to the study and pushed the door open.
Antonio sat in front of the table, concentrating on writing with a brush. When he heard the sound of the
door opening, he didn't look up.
Osvaldo didn't say anything either, standing still with a blank expression, his deep black eyes fixed on
the old man behind the desk, without any extra emotions.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.
Antonio finished writing a character before putting down his brush and washing his hands.
Then he waved his hand, "Come and see how well I wrote this character."
Osvaldo walked over as instructed and glanced at it casually, saying in a flat tone, "It's just a lifeless
object. There's no need to evaluate it."
Antonio choked and stared at Osvaldo, blowing his mustache and glaring, "When you face that girl,
you're all sweet words, aren't you?"
"How come you can't say anything nice to your grandfather?"
If this happened in any other family, even if their elderly wrote the ugliest character, no one would dare
to say anything negative. This young man in their family just chokes people with a single sentence.
But Antonio couldn't argue with him yet.
If Osvaldo could say it, it meant he truly believed it in his heart. Words were just words, no matter how
beautiful they looked, they were lifeless and had no relation to people.
Of course, this was regarding others. Selena's handwriting was an exception. He dared to bet that even
if Selena's handwriting was ugly, he would still praise her to the heavens with a clear conscience.
Antonio looked at his grandson's poker face, and with a grunt of irritation, crumpled up the paper he
had just written and threw it into the trash can before sitting down with a flourish.
Cutting to the chase, he asked, "Do you know that your uncle has a daughter?"
Penelope was Cassius' daughter. This was not a secret in the capital. After all, when the Riddle family
inexplicably adopted Penelope, who bore a striking resemblance to Kiera, it was bound to attract
scrutiny from interested parties. Once investigated, everything would become clear. Even many people
back then had sympathized with Nevaeh's plight.
But this was a family matter for the Riddles, and outsiders had no business meddling. Furthermore,
Penelope was not only Kiera's daughter but also Cassius'. Although the Anderson family did not
acknowledge her, blood ties were still genuine.
It could be said that Penelope had been able to thrive in the capital for more than a decade because of Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
the Anderson family.
After Antonio finished speaking, Osvaldo's eyes suddenly turned frigid. "You want me to let her go?"
Antonio felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared down by Osvaldo. He also knew that Penelope
owed Selena a debt.
But the Anderson family had already essentially abandoned Cassius, and he couldn't bear to see his
second son's only bloodline perish as well. Antonio forced himself to keep eye contact with Osvaldo
and said, "After all, she is your uncle's only child!"
Osvaldo sneered and retorted, "Grandfather, do you know why Selena hates the Riddle family so
much?"
Antonio's voice turned cold and hard. "I just want you to spare her life. The Anderson family will never
acknowledge her!"
Osvaldo chuckled darkly and asked, "Why not?"
Antonio choked up. He couldn't bring himself to say the rest of his sentence while looking at Osvaldo's
handsome and callous face. The Anderson family members were all ruthless. Especially this grandson,
who didn't care about blood relations. Except for Selena, all other women were just roadside weeds in
his eyes.
It should have been obvious that blood ties were not a bargaining chip that would make Osvaldo
compromise.
