Selena was startled and thought that Christ was going to harm her, so she immediately stepped back.
But she was a step too slow and her wrist was caught by Christ.
With a slight force from Christ, Selena felt pain and the glass shards in her hand fell to the ground. In an instant, she was held tightly in Christ's arms.
At the same time, Isabel, whose jealousy had clouded her mind, saw Selena being restrained. With a fierce expression, she grabbed the teapot on the table without hesitation and smashed it towards Selena's face.
"Destroy this bitch's face and see how she can seduce men again!" Christ had his back to Isabel and didn't realize what was happening until it was too late to stop it.
Selena widened her eyes, unable to dodge while being held by the man.
Just as a pot of boiling water was about to be poured on Selena’s face, a loud noise suddenly came from the door.
With a "bang," the door of the villa's hall was kicked open by someone.
A fruit knife flashing with cold light flew in from the doorway and accurately struck the teapot.
Suddenly, the teapot shattered and water splashed everywhere.
Two maids screamed in pain.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsabel, who was the closest, was hit directly by the hot water. She screamed in agony and fell to the ground heavily because the maid let go of her. With the knife flying past her scalp, it landed in the ground in front of her.
A few strands of hair slipped down from her head.
It was almost a close call. The knife could have pierced her head.
Isabel stared blankly at the shaking knife in front of her, forgetting the pain and turning pale.
When the teapot exploded, Christ held Selena’s head and shielded her in his arms. However, he was splashed with water.
When the teapot hit the ground, Selena was the only person who remained unharmed.
The two maids were stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Christ raised his eyebrows, suddenly looked up, and looked towards the entrance.
Dozens of fierce-looking black-suited bodyguards barged in, forcefully pushing aside anyone in their way and confronting Christ's men. The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.
And a man cloaked in darkness walked in from the door.
Osvaldo's first glance was on Selena, who was forcefully held in Christ's arms. His gaze showed a deep sense of hostility.
After a moment, he suddenly realized that she might have been frightened or burned somewhere. He lowered his eyelashes gently and spoke softly, but there was something heart-wrenching in his tone.
"Let her go!" Christ suddenly saw Osvaldo and had a moment of confusion.
He had thought of everyone who might come knocking at his door, but never thought it would be this man.
No one knew better than him how cold and unfeeling the man across from him was. In this world, there were hardly any people who could move his emotions, let alone make him personally come to ask for someone.
In an instant, he remembered that this man had gone out of his way to protect the girl in his arms in "Attract to Love." In all of Creephia, only he had the ability to completely erase a person's traces right in front of his eyes.
Christ burst out laughing with anger.
What kind of relationship did this man have with the girl in his arms? Christ stared at Osvaldo motionlessly, his handsome face gradually stained with blood.
The air was thick and heavy like a sponge soaked in blood, making people shudder.
Selena heard Osvaldo's voice and finally came to her senses. She struggled to lift her head from Christ's embrace and looked over.
Seeing Osvaldo, she subconsciously took a step towards him, but her wrist was caught by Christ.
The man's gaze was dark and oppressive as he stared at her.
Selena's eyes grew cold. She suddenly remembered that Christ seemed to have saved her again just now, and her beautiful face became incomparably dark.
She was about to speak when a sharp scream suddenly rang out, breaking the suffocating silence in an instant.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIsabel finally came to her senses from the bone-chilling fear, followed by an indescribable pain that spread throughout her body.
She covered her face and cried out, "Ah... it hurts, my face, brother, save me... save me..." Christ's eyes became cold and he gave her a chilly glance.
He had clearly warned her not to touch the girl, yet she dared to destroy her face in front of him.
It seemed that Isabel had not taken his warning seriously.
Or maybe he had spoiled her too much in the past, giving Isabel the illusion that he would never blame her no matter what she did.
Christ snorted coldly and said, "Don't bother with her!" The two maids who were about to go forward to help Isabel heard Christ's words and immediately retreated, standing still and holding their breath.
They looked at Isabel and felt that she was both vicious and ignorant to the extreme.
Anyone with eyes can see that Christ has a strong interest in Selena. She dared to use such cruel means to destroy Selena's face in front of a man...
Where did she get the confidence to be so openly cruel? When Isabel heard Christ's cold words, she suddenly realized what she had done in a fit of rage. She didn't even care about the pain and cried and explained while covering her face, trembling with fear.
"Brother, it's not like that... | didn't mean to. She was trying to kill me first, and | was so scared that | lost my mind for a moment...
That's why I..." There was no warmth on Christ's face, only coldness in his eyes.
If Selena hadn't been held back by Christ, she would have rushed over and kicked Isabel to death.
If she was really disfigured by Isabel today, she would definitely dismember her right away.
Isabel was extremely frightened and regretful. She couldn't even cry out in pain, only tremblingly grabbed Christ's hand and cried out incoherently.
"Brother, please believe me. | really didn't mean to. | was just too scared, and | don't even know her... She hit me, hurt me, and even wanted to kill me. I lost my mind for a moment, that's why..." "Miss Collins has harmed so many people, there are at least 800 if not 1, 000 victims. Are they all just out of their minds? You have done so many wicked things, are they all unintentional?" Selena sneered, her eyes full of sharpness and disgust. "Those women who were harmed by you, having their faces destroyed is the least of their fates... Shouldn't | thank Miss Collins for only throwing a teapot at me instead of throwing me to a group of beasts to be abused?" Isabel had finally turned the page on those things and when she heard Selena bringing them up again, her heart suddenly tightened, and she was so frightened that she almost wanted to scream.
That bitch Selena must have done it on purpose!
