Chapter 763 Capital The vengeful young lady who was quick to take revenge had only dealt with two insignificant lackeys in Creephia before. It was nothing but a small disturbance.
As for Osvaldo, he was nothing more than a decoration without any presence.
But Selena had gone to Capital, where Osvaldo was in charge of everything. It was the place where that man's word was law.
Luke smiled, his eyes suddenly filled with a hint of anticipation.
Twenty years had passed, and when Callum and Lady Nevaeh's daughter entered Capital with a raging anger and hatred, the faces of those people from back then must have been quite interesting.
A few withered leaves were blown to Joanna's feet, leaving a trail of decayed colors.
The wind was picking up.
Winter had arrived.
Joanna stepped on the leaves and sneered slowly, "Those worthless people... should have died twenty years ago!" Capital, the Turner family.
Although the Turner family was no longer the first family of Capital, their heritage was still deep and their guards were not few.
Especially now, with the news of the head of the Turner family suddenly falling down, spread by all sorts of malicious people, the security of the entire Turner family was more severe than ever.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe morning sun shone on the people standing in front of the Turner family's gate, and their figures were all neat and straight.
A group of men and women in formal dress were surrounded by people, strolling in and arrogantly evaluating the former first family of Capital. Their expressions were all proud and contemptuous, full of schadenfreude, clearly not well-intentioned.
The guard immediately pulled down the alert line and stopped them outside the gate, his face vigilant. "Stop! The Turner family is busy today and not receiving guests. Please leave!" The group of people sneered and directly waved their hands, and their bodyguards behind them immediately pushed aside the two guards at the gate with killing intent.
After clearing the way, the group of people coldly laughed and broke in.
The man at the head of the group walked a few steps and suddenly realized that one person was missing, so he turned around.
"Mr. Poole, why haven't you left yet?" he asked.
Upon hearing this, the others also turned their heads and looked at the man who was left behind with suspicion.
Christ stood outside the gate of the Turner family, looking up at the sky in the distance, and smiled. His eyes were unclear. "The sun is shining nicely today..." The scene suddenly fell silent.
William Gallagher was the first to laugh. "Mr. Poole is right. The sun is indeed shining nicely today, suitable for going out and doing big things!" Claudia Jackson flicked the ash off her cigarette and spoke in a flippant and disdainful tone, "You're right. The Turner family, with their thin bloodline, thin power, and thin influence, should have disappeared long ago. But they insist on struggling to survive and have become a joke that we've been watching for so many years..." "Now, they can at least make us laugh, which is the only value that the capital's first family can still provide. It's now their sunset years, isn't it? It's their honor to have so many prestigious families send them off on their final journey!" While the people of the other prestigious families gloated, Diana, who was part of the research institute, frowned.
Christ looked in Creephia's direction... was it just a coincidence? But then, she suddenly remembered Christ's previous grudge with Selena.
Christ's beloved sister was killed by Selena. She must have wanted to kill the woman, and knowing her usual style, she wouldn't have come along just to join in on the fun.
At this point, Diana put her worries aside and laughed scornfully, "It's a pity that Lady Selena can't see this scene, otherwise her expression would be priceless!" Her words instantly silenced the lively atmosphere.
Several families that were previously damaged because of Selena's actions darkened and looked disgusted.
Claudia sneered, "She's just a bastard with an unknown father. Why should we care about her? She has the sense to stay away from the capital and not try to make her presence known, or else I'd teach her a lesson!" As she spoke, her voice was filled with hatred.
For many years, the Jackson family had been trying to gain control of the Capital Medical College, but Patrick, the sickly boy, just wouldn't die, causing them to waste a lot of effort.
During the Capital University exam incident, not only was her beloved brother forced to drop out of school, but their family's reputation was also ruined. Even their people who were finally accepted into the International Medical Alliance were suddenly removed.
Compared to other families, the Jackson family suffered the most, and their hatred towards Selena ran the deepest.
After Claudia finished speaking, Christ, who had been staring at the sun the whole time, suddenly turned to look at her.
His cold, gloomy gaze swept over her face, emitting a sharp and icy feeling.
Claudia shuddered.
But by the time she looked back, Christ had already withdrawn his gaze, as if nothing had happened.
Claudia clenched her fingers, wondering if what just happened was her imagination.
But she didn't have time to think more about it, as the others had already been stirred up by Diana's words and were heading towards the Turner family mansion with unfriendly expressions.
In the living room, Lydia Turner had stayed up all night, her eyes red, but she still forced herself to stay alert and arranged a series of things.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was originally a collateral bloodline of the Turner family, but because of her outstanding design talent, she was selected to enter the research institute.
Patrick's virus suddenly worsened, and he was the only legitimate heir left. If he fell, the Turner family wouldn't even be able to find a townsperson.
They could only temporarily transfer her over.
When Lydia heard the commotion outside, she immediately tensed up, looked up, and her eyes turned red with anger.
"The Turner family doesn't welcome you, get out right away!" As soon as Lydia finished speaking, she saw Diana sneer and slap her hard, "Lydia, how dare you talk to Professor Chen like that? Don't you want to stay in the research institute anymore?" Selena's two slaps from last time had been weighing heavily on Diana's mind.
She had no chance to get revenge on Selena, so she did everything she could to retaliate against anyone related to her.
Lydia didn't have much to do with Selena, but she was unlucky enough to be related to the Turner family.
Lydia stumbled back from the blow, almost falling down. She covered her face and glared angrily at Diana.
With the support of the Turner family's resources, her talent, and her willingness to work hard, Lydia had always been above Diana in the research institute.
But because of her obsession with design, she had always kept a low profile, so very few people outside knew her name.
However, not long ago, Diana brought back the Sacred Pearl from somewhere, and became the "savior" of the Anderson family's crown prince. Her resources and status skyrocketed, and everyone flattered her.
For a while, she was the talk of the capital.
Lydia's gaze swept over the middle-aged man standing behind Diana...
