Chapter 1190 Heartache!
Black Crow thought of the chaotic people and things that Selena had faced, and his already sour face
became even worse. He turned around and walked into the laboratory. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Selena had been waiting in the room for a while when she saw Leia tiptoeing in.
Seeing that Selena was awake, Leia untied her restraints and walked over. "Madam Selena, you're
awake."
Selena nodded and said to Leia, "Tidy up, we're going to see the old man."
Leia blinked. "Shall I go and tell the young master?"
Selena smiled and shook her head. "No need."
Leia remembered that this was Osvaldo's home, and there was no need to worry about anything. She
turned around and took Selena's clothes from the shelf.
Selena got dressed, and Leia led her to the courtyard where Antonio lived.
Antonio was brewing tea, and Selena followed the fragrance of tea and walked in.
Antonio glanced at her disapprovingly and snorted, "You've been in the capital for so long, and you
finally remember to come and see the old man?"
The poor old man had been waiting for his daughter-in-law for so many years, but because of the
grudge with this girl, he was still not accepted by his grandson.
Selena laughed and sat down opposite Antonio, gracefully picked up a tea cup from the table, and
started to make tea.
After making the tea, she held a cup in both hands and handed it to Antonio. "Grandpa, please have
some tea."
As the fragrance of the tea filled the air, Antonio, who was worldly-wise, looked at the girl sitting across
from him through the mist rising from the tea.
The girl was beautiful, and her noble temperament was evident in her every movement. It was hard to
believe that she was a girl who had grown up being abused. Especially those eyes... No wonder his
quirky grandson was so infatuated with her.
Antonio took the tea and sighed, "Little girl, do you resent me?"
Selena calmly replied, "From your perspective, I can fully understand your difficulties and predicament.
But from my perspective, if you weren't Osvaldo's grandfather, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you
as a junior."
Seeing that Antonio was not speaking, Selena asked softly, "Why did you arrange the engagement
between Isabel and Osvaldo in the first place?"
Antonio gave her a cold look. "Don't tell me that boy didn't tell you!"
Selena said with a smile, "But I want to hear your explanation personally. After all, if you hadn't made
that mistake, you would have almost ruined the peace of the Anderson family for three generations!"
Antonio remained silent. This girl was definitely here to hurt his heart on purpose!
Antonio snorted twice, "When Nevaeh left the capital, she left with that carnelian. Later, when Nevaeh
died, she kept your existence hidden very well. For so many years, no one in the capital knew that she
had a daughter with Callum."
"That girl from the Sheng family was wearing that carnelian, and I thought she had some connection to
Nevaeh. Just then, my kid seemed to have a fate of being an orphan, so out of a sense of
compensation, I thought of bringing them together to try it out."
Who would have thought that, due to a series of misunderstandings, they nearly ruined their
grandson's marriage.
And Selena has held a grudge against him for so long.
Selena pondered for a moment and said, "Isabel loved to flaunt her possessions. There should be
many people in the capital who knew she had that carnelian. Why has no one paid attention to Isabel
for all these years if that carnelian is so significant?"
Antonio replied indifferently, "There are countless carnelians in the world, especially for us old guys.
We don't pay attention to women's jewelry unless there is a good reason to do so."
"Your carnelian was given to Nevaeh by Callum, and there is only one like it in the world."
"I coincidentally found out that the Sheng family's illegitimate daughter was wearing that carnelian,
which belonged to your mother."
Selena understood.
The significance of Nevaeh's carnelian was only known by a few old guys in the capital, and hardly
anyone among the younger generation knew about it.
This also indirectly illustrated that the significance of that carnelian was definitely not simple.
Selena couldn't understand and put the matter aside. She looked up at Antonio and said, "After the
affairs in the capital are finished, I will consider giving Penelope a chance to live. But before that, if she
has even the slightest intention to harm anyone, even if you intervene, I will not show her any mercy!"
She would not show mercy to enemies, especially to traitors like Penelope. She would not have done
this before.
It can be said that Osvaldo is the only person who has made Selena break her own principles.
Antonio said, "..."
Were these two little bastards intentionally trying to provoke the old man?
Selena noticed his strange expression and spoke in a serious tone, "This is my biggest concession!"
She had decided to give Penelope a chance out of respect for Osvaldo. As for Cassius, he did not
qualify for exemption!
Antonio caught the coldness in her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Sparing her life is enough." As for
the rest, it was up to Penelope's fate.
Seeing that the old man's complexion was not good, Selena changed the subject, "Grandpa, can you
tell me about Osvaldo's childhood?"
Antonio's expression cleared up slightly, as if he had remembered something interesting. He snorted
and waved his hand, "Go get it."
The butler waiting by his side turned and walked into the door. After a while, he came out holding a
photo album and handed it to Selena. "This is the old master's most precious possession, and no one
else is allowed to touch it."
Selena's eyes lit up and she reached out to take it. With excitement and curiosity, she turned to the first
page.
The first thing that caught her eye was a baby photo, with the date carefully marked beside it. The baby
in the photo had crystal-clear skin and distinct facial features. Although he had not yet opened his eyes,
the curve of his eye tails was long and beautiful.
"This is..." Selena exclaimed.
Antonio stroked his beard and chuckled, "This was taken when that brat was just born. Isn't he
beautiful?"
Selena looked at the delicately carved snowball in the picture and couldn't help but laugh. "As a boy,
Osvaldo is really too beautiful."
Osvaldo was born so good-looking, while she was born with physical weakness and was definitely not
good-looking when she was born. In comparison, Selena decided not to let Osvaldo see her baby
photos in the future.
But come to think of it, she had never seen her own photos before the age of five. And she had many
photos after the age of six. Why was that?
Selena was lost in thought when suddenly she snapped out of it. Upon careful reflection, she had
indeed seen very few photos of herself before the age of five, let alone baby photos. But there were
many photos after the age of six. Why was that?
Antonio sneered, "That's because at first glance, I thought it was a girl. I was so happy. But then I
looked again and realized it was a boy..."
