Chapter 1675: Selena just went home.
Madam Samantha turned around abruptly, her gaze following the sound to a man standing in the
darkness. He had an elegant demeanor, with pale skin, black hair and deep eyes that seemed to have
seen a thousand things.
After staring at him for a moment, Madam Samantha spoke. "Callum left the central city years ago and
never returned." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"I've been waiting all these years for the owner of that red jade pendant," she continued. "But I've never
seen them again."
Her words shocked everyone present, including Daphne who was struggling to free herself from her
restraints. Even Leon and Hattie were stunned.
Madam Samantha knew Callum? Selena's mother knew him too... what did this mean?
Daphne's attention was drawn to Madam Samantha's mention of the red jade pendant - something that
Callum had given Nevaeh as a token of his affection.
There were rumors about its origin being extraordinary but Daphne had never paid much attention until
now when she realized it might have come from Madam Samantha herself.
Madam Samantha gave Callum a red jade pendant for some reason, promising that if there was ever
danger, he could take the pendant to the central city to find her. However, Callum passed the pendant
on to Nevaeh.
Samantha... Callum... Nevaeh...
Daphne's face turned ashen and she collapsed completely onto the ground. She finally understood that
since Nevaeh's death, Samantha would never let her go.
Why didn't she realize that it was Madam Samantha who sent out that red jade pendant?
If she had known...
If she had known, Nevaeh probably wouldn't have had a chance to leave the capital alive.
But now, the owner of that red jade pendant might have already become Kiera or Penelope.
Kiera and Penelope would bring this red jade pendant with them to the central city and become
honored guests of Riddle Group and Cummings family's most precious bloodline...
With people from the central city and Cummings family backing them up, why should Daphne fear
anyone finding out the truth?
What is Riddle Group?
What is Turner Family?!
If only she had known earlier...
She was so close to achieving her dream of wealth and glory... just a little bit more...
The feeling of just missing each other is far more unbearable than never having had it at all.
Daphne laughed maniacally, her smile filled with regret and resentment.
No one paid attention to Daphne's madness; they were all pondering another question.
Madam Samantha knew Callum. Was the switch between the two Selenas really an accident?
No one spoke.
Madam Samantha was silent for a moment before saying, "However, Callum's disappearance over
these years should be related to his wife."
"If he really is in the underground city, perhaps you will be able to see him soon."
But how can they see Callum again?
Nevaeh is already dead...
Silence fell upon them.
Madam Samantha also thought of Nevaeh's death and gently lowered her eyelashes. "That child has
recovered well for now. When the time is right, I will have someone send her back unharmed."
Oscar whispered softly, "Thank you so much for your help, Madam."
Madam Samantha nodded and said goodbye.
As she was about to get on her carriage, a petite figure suddenly ran out from the darkness and
shouted, "Wait!"
Madam Samantha paused as she looked at the little girl running towards their carriage.
She stared at the other person's still childish face for a while, her eyes somewhat dazed. "What's
wrong?" Hattie looked into the other person's eyes. "I want to ask you, Selena... are you doing okay
now?"
Madam Samantha curved her lips into a smile. "Which Selena are you asking about?"
Hattie's eyes turned red and her expression was indescribable whether it was happiness or sadness.
"I... I just want to know, is that okay?"
Madam Samantha looked at the young girl in front of her and suddenly said, "My daughter didn't have a
good time when she was your age."
When Selena was thirteen years old, the underground city event broke out and she experienced for the
first time what it felt like to be surrounded by thousands of crying people with shattered beliefs.
It was also when she killed someone for the first time - that man who had loved her since childhood.
Others may have only seen her coldness and strength but only Madam Samantha knew that year after
year, Selena suffered from nightmares and often woke up crying.
That year marked an end to all of Selena's innocence as she learned how to become an empress.
Hattie looked at Madam Samantha. "Did you accompany her well? Did you comfort her?"
Madam Samantha paused for a moment before answering.
Did she accompany Selena well? Did she comfort Selena?
Yes, but…her daughter might not know it.
Hattie said, "Selena is doing well now. That must be because you were there for her when she was sad
and gave her comfort and encouragement."
"For a child, a mother's presence is enough to heal everything."
Madam Samantha was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "You're right."
She looked at the little girl in front of her and said gently, "Your two sisters are doing well. It's just that
there are some things that your older sister needs to help with right now, so she can't come back
temporarily."
"When the time comes, she will come home."
Hattie wanted to ask if the other sister would come back too.
But suddenly she remembered that this woman in front of her was Selena's mother and Central City
was Selena's home.
Selena had just gone home.
She couldn't selfishly take this lady's daughter away from her.
Madam Samantha saw the disappointment in the little girl's eyes and smiled slightly. "When my
daughter was thirteen years old, things were not going well for her. Your other sister also had a hard
time... so you have to do well, okay?"
Hattie nodded vigorously with bright eyes. "Okay!"
After Madam Samantha left, Oscar turned his gaze on Daphne.
He looked at Daphne's crazy appearance and a faintly cold smile appeared on his lips. "Daphne,
pretending to be crazy is not such an ingenious trick."
Daphne's body trembled slightly as Oscar turned and walked away. With the Cummings family no
longer a threat, Daphne could finally fully atone for her past sins.
Meanwhile, in the heart of the city, Selena was unaware that her mother had left the empire. She sat in
her study, staring at the words on the wall and pondering how to bring Lillian down.
It was difficult since she had no blood ties to Riddle Group and Lillian was their only heir. Killing Lillian
would mean cutting off Riddle Group's bloodline.
In such a situation...
