Chapter 1346 Selena misses home Selena could hear the hesitation in his tone and straightened her expression. "What's wrong?" Patrick stared at her for a moment and spoke gently, "If you feel troubled, don't force yourself. There will always be opportunities in the future.” The air fell silent for a moment.
Oscar withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyelids.
Something flashed in Selena’s eyes, and she looked directly at Patrick and smiled. "Patrick, the Turner family cannot retreat.” "Once we take a step back, there will be a second step.” "Those people won't just give up because we've taken one step back." "They will only become more ruthless, using their chips to threaten us, to force us." "Until the Turner family has nothing left, and they are completely eradicated...” Patrick understood this reasoning very well.
But...
He looked at the girl in front of him, her eyes shrouded in mist, with a hint of complexity. "Selena..." Selena smiled and interrupted him, "I'm not just helping the Turner family regain the research institute, but also seeking revenge for my father and mother.” "Only when we have the ability to make those people fear and admire the Turner family, will they naturally lose their qualifications to threaten the Turner family." "At that time, whether it's you or me, we will definitely..." Patrick listened to the girl's cold and pleasant voice, bent down, and gently touched her hair. "Don't think too much. I'm just afraid you'll get hurt." The coldness in Selena's eyes subsided a bit, and she smiled. "They can't hurt me." After speaking, she stood up and walked out.
After Selena left, the lounge suddenly fell silent.
Oscar looked up at his son. "Patrick." Patrick's nerves suddenly tightened as he looked at Oscar, but there was no hint of anything unusual in his tone. "Father..." Some things, even if both parties understood them, as long as they didn't pierce through that layer of paper, nothing would change.

Oscar looked at his son steadily for a few seconds before saying, "Don't mind what Freddie said. The Shaw family's involvement in the research institute ends here." Patrick breathed a sigh of relief. "I understand, Father.” At the same time, Vivian saw Freddie, who had just returned to the lounge.
She immediately went up to him. "Brother, where did you go?" As a traitor, it was not honorable to collaborate with Cassius.
Once exposed, the Shaw family would also be disgraced.
Therefore, Freddie did not tell the Shaw family about his plot with Cassius to drive the Turner family out of the research institute.
Moreover, even though he had offered such a big bargaining chip, Patrick's attitude remained unclear, which made Freddie very anxious.
He loosened his tie and Vivian kindly helped him take off his coat and draped it over his arm. Freddie sat down on the sofa and put his hand on his forehead.
The Turner family had no descendants left except for Patrick and Selena. So, Freddie did not believe that Patrick would not care about the fate of the real Selena.
After all, she was the only bloodline of Callum and Nevaeh.
Moreover, according to Cassius, the current Lady Selena of the Turner family not only took on the identity of the Turner family's daughter and deceived the Turner family, but she was also the enemy of the Turner family.
Once this fact was proven, even if the Turner family were generous, they could not help but be suspicious.
If Oscar and Patrick really accepted this fake Miss Turner, how would they face the deceased members of the Turner family? The trap had already been set.
Now, it remained to be seen how big of a mess would be caused between the Turner family and Lady Selena.
As long as the relationship between the Turner family and Selena was disintegrated from within, the pressure on the Shaw family would be immediately relieved.
It might even go further! The only thing the Shaw family needed to do was wait! Freddie closed his eyes in exhaustion.
Seeing that Freddie did not speak, Vivian secretly slipped her hand into Freddie's coat pocket and took out his phone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe used Freddie's tone of voice to text the words she had been wanting to say and sent them to all the noble families that had taken refuge with the Shaw family.
Then, she deleted the message and put the phone back.
After taking this desperate move, Vivian stood in front of the mirror and looked at the calm and faintly crazy woman in the reflection.
"Selena, you will never take away the man I love..." She fell in love with him at first sight when she was eight years old.
Over the years, no matter how people outside mocked her for chasing after him, no matter how coldly he treated her, she couldn't bear to let go of any opportunity to get closer to him.
This pursuit, like a moth to a flame... How could she just watch that woman take him away and take away the Shaw family's power and pride? Selena stood by the French window, looking at the vibrant garden outside.
Leia walked in from the door, placing her lunch on the table one by one, and then walked behind Selena. "Madam Selena, it's time to eat." Selena withdrew her gaze and looked at she, asking softly, "Leia, where is your hometown?" Leia blinked and shook her head, "Madam Selena, I'm an orphan and don't remember where my home is." Selena was stunned for a moment.
Seeing that Selena seemed unhappy, Leia said with a smile, "Madam Selena, although | don't know who my parents are, my master treats me very well." "My master picked me up from outside. She didn't say where | came from, and | forgot to ask... But it doesn't matter." "My master is too busy to take care of me, so she left me with the Anderson family." "When | arrived at the Anderson family, the young master had already gone out to explore, and | didn't have many chances to see him. It was Madam Laurence and Mr. Jordon who raised me." "But although my master rarely comes back, she cares about me..." Leia looked at Selena's expression and asked, "Madam Selena, do you miss home?" Selena was taken aback and then smiled, "Yes, | do miss it a bit..." Leia immediately said, "Then I'll call the young master and ask him to take you back to Creephia after everything is over..." Seeing that Selena's expression hadn't improved, she picked up her phone, "I'l call the young master now and ask him to take Madam Selena back to Creephia!" In she's view, the matters of the research institute were important, but ultimately, they were all about the Turner family and could not compare to Selena's meaning to the Anderson family.
Besides, Madam Selena obviously suffered some grievances, so she wanted to go home.
"No need," Selena stopped Leia's actions and turned her head to look outside the window. Birds flew by from the blue sky, chirping. She smiled, "It's okay, | just miss home a bit. After the capital matter is over, | can finally... go home."
