Chapter 692 Have you been to the capital? Selena didn't reject the idea, in fact, she thought it was necessary. She was initially not very interested in the confrontation with Isabel over the ownership of the red jade, but Osvaldo's words made Selena's anger rise, feeling that the lesson she had given Isabel before was too light.
She should have exposed this woman earlier and killed her! "You said the red jade belongs to you?" Selena sneered, looking at the red jade lying in Christ's palm with an arrogant and elegant expression. "Your mother was a poor dancing girl who lived by attaching herself to the powerful. What right does she have to possess such a treasure?" "The Collins family may be a second-rate aristocratic family, but Michelle, as a daughter of the family, does not have anything like this. As a illegitimate daughter, where did you get such a priceless treasure?" Selena's sharp questioning voice was like a knife stabbing straight at the most vulnerable point of Isabel's heart.
Isabel was dripping with cold sweat, and the look in Christ's eyes beside her made her feel like her throat was being cut.
She racked her brains but still couldn't cup with an answer, only screaming, "Who do you think you are? You have no idea who your father is, and your mother was long ago kicked out of the house. You don't even have the qualifications to set foot in the capital. What right do you have to compare with me?" "I grew up in the capital and have had the red jade for over a decade. You have no proof, but you dare to claim that my things belong to you. You are the most shameless person!” After Isabel hysterically yelled, she turned around and grabbed Christ, her tears falling fiercely and urgently. "Brother, Selena defamed me. My red jade is really what my mother left for me. | don't know where my mother got it, but I've been wearing it since | was a child. It's my thing..." Anyway, her mother had died long ago, with no evidence to prove anything. As long as she refused to admit it, what could Selena do? In any case, she had been with Christ for more than a decade, and she couldn't believe that a few words from Selena could outweigh their years of feelings.

Isabel looked at Christ like this, feeling extremely uneasy in her heart. Her face was pale, as if she was deeply saddened. She cried out pitifully, "Brother, | saved you, how can you not believe me..." Selena frowned. She realized a troublesfact. Even if she forcibly took back the red jade without evidence, she would not be able to justify herself.
This discovery made Selena feel a faint sense of resentment in her heart. Isabel and Leah, these two women, were both shameless. Clearly, they had robbed Selena's things and hurt the kind and innocent girl. After the truth was revealed, they not only showed no remorse, but also had the nerve to portray themselves as victims...
Selena stared coldly at Isabel, seeming to have nothing to say.
Isabel felt bit pleased to see Selena quiet down. She had already thought of thousands of reasons to defend herself in her heart, fearing that the truth about the red jade would be exposed. After all, the red jade couldn't speak, and her owner was the one who was alive, so who was to say what was right? Sure enough, she succeeded in making Selena feel silenced and resentful. The feeling of having something that belonged to her seized by someone else, while she was powerless to do anything, was even more unbearable than not knowing anything.
But Isabel's satisfaction did not last for a few seconds, and it was quickly extinguished. Christ, who had been quiet all along, raised his head and fixed his sharp gaze on Selena, asking a question that made Isabel tremble with fear, "Have you been to the capital?" Isabel's blood turned cold in an instant.
The red jade couldn't speak, but if Selena mentioned the details of the confrontation when she saved Christ that year, everything would be over. Isabel collapsed to the ground, looking ashen.
Selena tilted her head slightly and spoke without hesitation, her tone slightly cold but extremely firm, "No." Christ's pupils contracted.
Osvaldo's gaze was dark, looking at Selena's delicate face.
Isabel originally thought she was doomed. When she heard Selena's words, she was briefly confused, but then a glimmer of light rose in her defeated eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe excitedly grabbed Christ's clothes, crying tears of joy, and said, "Brother, do you believenow? Selena is lying. She never went to the capital. The red jade is mine. Everything that happened today is her trying to frme..." Christ seemed to not have heard her words, as he stared fixedly at Selena with an uncertain expression in his eyes.
Isabel narrowly escaped death, but she didn't pay attention to these things at all.
Selena's unexpected denial made her feel alive again.
She didn't know why Selena denied it, but Selena's denial not only saved her life and solved her worries, but also made her the ultimate winner in this life-and-death situation.
Isabel was ecstatic and immediately accused Selena sharply, "Selena, you've never even been to the capital, so how can you say that my ruby belongs to you? On what basis?" "You covet my fiancé and want to get rid of your reputation as a third party by forcingto give you the ruby. You want to openly possess the engagement that should belong to me. You're such a scheming and malicious woman. Why don't you just die?" Since Leah said that the ruby belonged to Selena, Isabel had not felt so relieved for a long time.
The extrups and downs made Isabel's already crazy nerves even more abnormal, causing her to ignore Osvaldo's increasingly cold gaze and Christ's abnormal gloomy expression.
Selena glanced at her and said, "You idiot!" Isabel's face twisted, and she felt that she had becthe rightful owner of the ruby, with no more fear or guilt towards Selena.
She looked up at Christ and no longer showed any caution, but instead looked at him with resentment. "Christ, | saved your life.
You promised to protectfor a lifetime. But Selena disabled my leg, ruined my face, and ruined my reputation. Why don't you helpget revenge?” Christ slowly lowered his head, staring into her eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "Oh? How do you wantto help you get revenge?" Isabel laughed, unable to hide her arrogant and malicious nature any longer. "Of course, kill her! No, killing her is too mercy for her! | want to disable her leg, ruin her face, ruin her reputation, and then throw her to the slums to beca prostitute, making her wish she were dead!" Selena's gaze becice-cold, and she slowly lifted her eyelashes to stare at Isabel. "Isabel, did | ever tell you that my nis engraved on my ruby?"
