Chapter 1378 My First Time Coming to a Place Like This
Poor Miss Turner had no idea and came here alone for Miss Riddle, without any accompanying
relatives or elders by her side.
Looking at Selena's slender figure and beautiful face, and hearing Nicholas' aggressive words, many
men present felt pity for her.
Alfie's face was already turning cold.
Leia was furious, glaring fiercely at Nicholas across from her, taking out her phone from her pocket and
starting to send text messages.
Only Selena remained calm, even with a smile on her face.
Aurelia had been accompanying Alfie outside to greet guests and seemed to have no idea what Selena
and Nicholas had just said. Upon hearing about it, she looked at Alfie with tenderness and said softly, "I
understand, Mr. Soo."
...
At the gambling convention, many of the capital's elite and powerful were gathered, and the Turner
family's faction received a phone call from their people on the spot.
Therefore, the Turner family learned of what happened at the gambling convention in no time.
When Patrick learned that Nicholas had publicly humiliated Selena multiple times, he could no longer
sit still and walked out with a cold aura.
The butler was indignant, "Those shameless bastards!"
Nicholas' move was obviously deliberate. Selena would never let Hattie be ignored and would definitely
go to the gambling convention. This was specifically targeting Selena!
The Turner family had grievances with the Soo family, but Nicholas could not do anything to Oscar and
Patrick. So he resorted to such shameful means to target Selena, a young girl. This was truly
shameless!
Oscar had just returned from Zone Six and met Patrick at the door. He said in a calm tone, "If she didn't
have full confidence, she wouldn't have said those things."
Patrick said in a serious tone, "But Father, gambling is not about intelligence. Even if Selena is smart,
it's difficult to guarantee that she will win one hundred percent."
"If Selena loses, those people will definitely not hesitate to bully her..."
Even smart people are powerless in matters of luck.
Oscar was not worried at all and reminded him, "Worrying only causes chaos. This is not a good thing
for both you and her."
Commanding calmness was almost innate for him.
For certain things, they were even cold to the point of cruelty.
And it was precisely because of this unique advantage that they could be invincible.
Once a commander loses this calmness, they are no longer fit to sit in that position.
Patrick was taken aback.
He doesn't not understand Oscar's meaning.
He's just... too guilty and heartbroken!
This sense of guilt and heartbreak is for both Selena of Creephia and the present Selena.
They are both such good and kind girls.
But fate hasn't been kind to either of them...
Patrick raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. "Father, I..."
Oscar could probably guess what kind of threat Freddie used to coerce Patrick. So he could
understand his son's anxiety and difficulty.
Oscar pushed the wheelchair forward and spoke for the first time, "For those who are not meant to
belong to the Turner family, forcing them to stay is not beneficial to any of you."
Patrick's face turned pale in an instant. He didn't tell Oscar the fact that the real Selena was still alive.
When Callum left the capital, Patrick was barely five years old, so his impression of his uncle was not
very strong. But Oscar was Callum's brother. They were blood brothers and grew up together.
Oscar would never sit idly by and let Callum's only bloodline be abandoned and ignored.
He was worried that if Oscar found out that the real Selena was still alive and that this Selena was the
enemy of the Turner family, it would make her sad, and... hurt her. So he suppressed the guilt in his
heart and selfishly kept this secret to himself.
But Oscar's words suddenly made Patrick doubt.
Does Oscar really not know that the real Selena is still alive?
Patrick remembered Oscar's indifference towards Selena when he first returned to the Turner family...
Patrick suddenly smiled bitterly.
Perhaps this father knows more than all of them...
At the scene of the gambling stone conference, after a lofty speech, Nicholas left with the Soo family.
The guests at the scene finally began to select and trade the countless stones they valued.
Selena sat down with Leia and Hattie in a place, and had Leia bring over two cups of milk tea.
Those who were paying attention to Selena, wanting to see how she would select stones, were
speechless when they saw that Selena was not in a hurry and had taken Hattie to eat.
The people in the capital who have seen Selena's face-slapping scenes had only a one percent hope
that maybe Selena could really pick good stones. However, the young lady ran off to eat, which was
indescribable.
After confirming that there was no excitement to watch for the time being, the group dispersed and
went to pick stones in groups of three to five.
Selena placed a cup of hot milk tea in front of Hattie and said, "After finishing it, I'll take you to look for
stones."
She had a pale complexion and bloodshot eyes, indicating that she had not been resting well lately.
Hattie knew that Selena was caring for her, so she obediently took the milk tea and began drinking it. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Selena drank another cup calmly while curiously looking around.
Leia squatted in front of her angrily and said, "Madam Selena, we will pick the stones later and
definitely smash that shameless old man's face!"
Nicholas was the most shameless old man that Leia had ever seen!
Selena said with a smile, "No hurry."
Leia couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw her confidence. "Madam Selena, how will we pick
the stones later? Is it based on size, shape, or something else?" Obviously, the young girl knew nothing
about gambling on stones.
Selena turned her head and glanced at Leia, saying, "I don't know either."
Leia was speechless.
Even Hattie couldn't help but look at Selena in shock.
Selena didn't know how to pick stones?
Wasn't she lying earlier?
Seeming to see their doubts, Selena dropped a sentence, "It's my first time to come to such a place."
Hearing Selena's words, the passing people were shocked speechless.
The Turner family's young lady dared to come to the gambling on stones for the first time and boasted
that she would take away all the best jade stones in the entire venue. Wasn't she crazy?
Suddenly, a group of people who were not willing to give up before looked at Selena with disdain and
turned around to leave.
After Leia and Hattie regained their senses, they immediately contained their shock.
Leia said, "I believe you will definitely win, Madam Selena!"
