Chapter 698 A Secret Between Two People Hattie immediately nodded, "Mm, this is a secret between Hattie and Selena, and nobody should tell anyone!" Selena smiled, "Good." In the hall, the sisters were talking, and the man behind the stairs turned and left quietly.
Selena rested in the room for three days, and after confirming that the injury on her wrist wouldn't affect her surgery, Osvaldo finally relented and allowed her to return to school.
At seven o'clock, Leia parked the car under the shade of a tree, and Selena stepped out and looked up at the familiar campus, smiling slightly.
Suddenly, a sudden gaze fell on her.
Selena frowned, turned her head, and saw a man standing on the steps of the coffee shop across the street.
Although she was too far to see his expression, he was looking at her motionlessly.
Leia's eyes showed a guarded look, blocking Selena behind her, her brow furrowed as if to kill a fly. "What is this Mr. Poole doing here again?" Every tChrist found Selena, it wasn't for a good reason.
As a result, every tLeia saw him, she subconsciously raised all her defenses.
Selena's eyes flashed with something, she patted Leia's shoulder and said, "Wait forhere." Leia was taken aback, "But, Madam-" Selena shook her head at her warningly, "It's okay." Leia glared at Christ as a warning but ultimately obediently waited in place.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelena walked towards Christ, stopping three meters away from him, looking at him unblinkingly.
Christ didn't seem to have rested well these days, his face looked haggard, and he had faint dark circles under his eyes.
He looked at the girl standing in front of him, her eyes clear and cold, with a hint of distance.
After staring at her for a while, Christ spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse, "You hate me, don't you?" Selena smiled, moved her gaze away from him, and looked at the sunrise in the distance, her voice very soft, "No." Christ's eyes darkened, and he heard Selena say, "| just feel... regretful.” Selena had so many powerful protectors, but unfortunately, none of these people appeared while she was alive.
Christ's face turned ashen, his lips tight, biting down on his teeth. "So you..." It made sense. If Selena hadn't remembered, given her personality, how could she have revealed her secret to him? She even agreed to let him take Isabel away.
"I agreed to let you take Isabel away because he asked," as if she knew what he was thinking, Selena turned her head, staring into his eyes, and said extremely coldly, "Even if you didn't do anything, | wouldn't have let Isabel live." After all, Christ's feelings for Isabel, whom he had grown up with, were not fake.
Selena had no doubt that this man would let Isabel go if she had asked him to.
She agreed, but until now, she hasn't been able to relax and feels that letting Isabel go was a wrong decision.
Looking into the girl's icy eyes, Christ felt as though even his fingertips were frozen.
He wanted to say that Isabel had deceived him, that he had never liked her, and that he wouldn't continue to favor her and wanted her to believe him.
But Selena's indifference made him choke, and he couldn't even say a word of explanation.
Selena flicked her slender fingers through her hair and sneered, "Christ, look atcarefully and think about the girl who saved you before. Do you think we're the sperson?” For a moment, Christ saw deep condemnation in Selena's eyes.
But that expression disappeared in an instant, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.
Sstiff and cold thoughts followed her words uncontrollably.
The girl in front of him was beautiful and powerful, cruel and ruthless, while the girl who saved him earlier was kind, pure, gentle, and resilient. Despite being so small and fragile, she had given him a sense of unprecedented security.
Because he would never have to worry that she would hurt him in return.
It was like night and day compared to Isabel later on.
It was ridiculous that it took him until now to realize this fact.
What kind of experience could turn a naturally pure girl into what she is now? Christ recalled the information he had investigated about Selena before. He had not thought much of it at the time, thinking that Osvaldo had poor taste to fall for such a weak and helpless woman.
But now, those self-righteous thoughts were like sharp knives, piercing his heart and clearly showing him his own foolishness and cruelty.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChrist's heart felt heavy and painful as he looked at Selena and dryly said, "I'm sorry..." The infamous Poole family's young master, known for his ruthlessness and never bowing his head to anyone, was now confessing his sins to a woman.
Selena felt only irony and looked up at the blue sky above, "There's no need to apologize between us. It's just the law of the jungle." Selena, who needed to apologize and repent, is already dead.
Isabel is one of the killers.
As a result, Christ also becan accomplice.
Selena regarded fulfilling the wishes of the deceased girl as her responsibility, but she never thought of taking possession or enjoying everything that belonged to Selena without remorse.
Whether it was Talon or Christ, they were all Selena’'s emotions.
Even Osvaldo should have been Selena’s fiancé.
A faint ripple passed through Selena's eyes.
But he was the only man she had actively pursued, so he was different from the rest.
The rest had nothing to do with her.
So rational, yet so ruthless.
Selena snapped out of her hidden emotions, raised her eyebrows and looked at Christ. "I don't know what you'll do when you find out about that secret, but if you try to useto threaten Osvaldo, | won't hold back." After speaking, she turned and headed towards the school gate.
Christ stared at her back, his face turning pale, and gritted his teeth. "Do you really think | would choose to hurt you for my own benefit... what about Osvaldo? Do you really trust him that much?" Selena's footsteps paused slightly, and she lowered her curled eyelashes. "He won't hurt me." Christ laughed out of anger, his eyes filled with heavy sarcasm. "Selena, you don't understand at all what kind of person that mans..." Selena tilted her head slightly and looked at him. "What exactly do you want to say?"
