Chapter 1342 Cost Selena turned a corner and casually found a lounge with a sign hanging outside. Without looking back, she said, "Stay outside. If the young master of the Shaw family comes, let him in." Due to Oscar's instructions, Leia was not very willing to let Selena out of her sight, but considering Selena’s decisive personality, she did not want to offend her.
"Okay, Madam Selena. Call me if you need anything." Selena nodded and pushed open the door, walking in.
The lounge was very quiet, with a cold emptiness in the air. Selena walked through the aisle and into the inner room, about to sit down. Suddenly, she seemed to sense something and raised her head sharply, her sharp gaze looking towards the balcony outside.

Meeting Selena's gaze, he raised his hand and saluted her from a distance, "Do you have time for a chat?" The man smiled, his voice as rich as good wine, "Miss Turner." Selena was taken aback for a moment, but regained her composure, walking elegantly over to sit opposite him. Her voice was cold, "Of course." Cassius looked at the girl opposite him with a critical, almost harsh gaze. After a few seconds, he smiled inexplicably, "How is that boy so lucky..." Selena could hear a deep, hidden emotion in his tone, and raised her eyebrows, "Are you jealous of Osvaldo?" Cassius neither admitted nor denied it. Selena looked at his face, which bore a resemblance to Benjamin's, and after some: thought, she understood Cassius’ psychology.
She had heard Lady Lauren mention it before. The men of the Anderson family seemed to be very infatuated. When they fell in love with someone, they would do anything for her.
Cassius fell from a proud son to a person everyone wanted to beat up because of his love for Kiera. It was especially difficult to accept when compared to the relationship of Benjamin and Osvaldo.
After analyzing this psychology, Selena looked at Cassius with a cold and playful gaze, "Does Osvaldo know you came here?" Cassius’ eyes were deep, and he picked up the lighter on the table with his long, tobacco-scented fingers, lighting a cigarette for himself. "He is afraid I'll cause trouble for you. He's been keeping a close eye on me recently." "If it weren't for the Shaw family being the insiders, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to shake off his surveillance." Selena smiled. Layers of coldness were added to her black eyes. "Very well!" Although Osvaldo had said many times that she was more important to him than anyone else, after all, this was Osvaldo's uncle.
If she went too far and let the man see it, it would not be good! Cassius detected the coldness in Selena's tone, paused, and looked at Selena with a hint of amusement in his gaze. "Do you want to kill me?" Selena said softly, "Not necessarily. At least until you've gotten rid of what you need to spat, | won't let you die." In other words, he could die after he finished speaking! Cassius looked deeply into Selena’s eyes and after a moment, he suddenly smiled. "You and that boy are really... too alike!" If it weren't for hearing it with his own ears, no one would have thought that such a beautiful and delicate girl would be so ruthless.
Selena looked at him and asked softly, "You have killed so many people, shouldn't you die?" The Turner family had blood debts throughout the family because of his collusion with "Divine Love"! Just for that vicious woman! Cassius looked deep into Selena's eyes, not denying his sins.
He smoked and sneered, "Miss Turner, you seem to have forgotten that this is the capital..." Looking at Selena's cold eyes, he emphasized, "This is not your empire." "You're not her anymore." Selena's black pupils shrank fiercely, and her heart throbbed heavily at this moment. But her loss of composure only lasted for a few seconds before she regained her calmness.
Staring at Cassius’ eyes, she could no longer control her killing intent. "Tell me everything you know!" Cassius sneered mockingly, "I know everything you care about." "It all depends on whether you are willing to pay a price for it." Coldness appeared in Selena's black eyes, "Oh?" Cassius looked at Selena maliciously and smiled, "Like the person you've been looking for, the one who brought you back from the dead.” Selena clenched her fingers on her lap into a fist, but her face remained unchanged.

He stood up and looked down at Selena, speaking in a gentlemanly tone both in his voice and expression, "As long as you give up the position of the dean of the institute, | will tell you who he is." "As smart as you are, you should know that bringing someone back from the dead comes at a great cost." "It's too late. You may never see him again in your lifetime." "I'll wait for your good news." With that, he smiled at Selena, turned, and walked into the nearby partition.
At the same moment that Cassius disappeared, Leia suddenly exclaimed outside the door, "Young Master, what happened to you--" Aloud "bang" was heard as the door was kicked open from outside. Osvaldo stood at the door and when his eyes fell on Selena sitting on the balcony, the tension in his nerves suddenly relaxed.
He rushed to Selena and nervously hugged her tightly. Selena felt the pressure from the man's tight embrace and it hurt her body. She looked at Osvaldo's cold face and smiled, "I'm okay." After confirming that she wasn't hurt, Osvaldo released Selena. He stood up and carefully examined the girl in his arms. Despite her efforts to conceal it, her cold skin temperature betrayed her abnormal emotions.
Osvaldo looked at her calm and composed appearance until now and asked softly, "What did he say to you?" Selena looked at the man's nervous expression and wanted to comfort him. But as soon as she spoke, she couldn't control the trembling of her voice.
"No, he just..." Although she had long suspected the existence of such a person, Selena couldn't control the tremble in her heart when she heard Cassius’ words with her own ears. It turned out that there really was such a person who had pulled her back from the hands of death and given her a second life. And that person may have paid an unimaginable price for it...
Selena took a deep breath, suppressed her fearful emotions, and looked up at the man in front of her.
