Chapter 1688 Ace of Hearts That evening, Selena packed her things and left Leia at the estate before getting into the car sent by Ace of Hearts.
Osvaldo stood on the steps and watched Selena leave before turning to get into another car. "Go to Bihan Winery," he said.
After Selena got into the car, she noticed that the person in the driver's seat was staring at her.
He was a young man dressed in fashionable clothes with striking features. His eyes were narrow and ended with a bright red teardrop-shaped birthmark near his eyelid. He smirked at Selena and said, "Do you think your husband would be okay withbeing in this car? Would he trust you with me?" Selena looked at his attractive face for a moment before bursting out laughing. "Why did you chere yourself?" she asked.
Ace of Hearts lazily brushed his wine-red hair back. "It's not safe for a girl to go alone to Bihan Winery." Of course, that was just an excuse.
Bihan Winery belonged to Osvaldo; there wouldn't be any safety issues if Selena went there to see him. The real reason was...
Ace of Hearts feared White Crow's recklessness might anger Osvaldo so much that even if she wanted to run away, she wouldn't have anywhere safe to go.
As they spoke, Ace of Hearts handed Selena a mask and sclothes saying,"Put these on." Although it wasn't likely, what if Osvaldo didn't recognize her? Either way, Ace of Hearts definitely had White Crow's best interests in mind! Selena looked at the dress thrown to her by her opponent. As the hottest star in the league, Ace of Hearts’ taste was beyond doubt. But this outfit... did it seem a little off? However, when she thought about the person she was going to meet and their status, if Selena dressed too conservatively and like a proper lady, wouldn't she stand out like a sore thumb? Selena touched her face that looked delicate and harmless no matter how you looked at it. After all, her opponent had been her archenemy for so many years. From the bottom of her heart, Selena didn't want to appear weak right from their first meeting...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking of this, Selena smiled slightly.
At 7:50 pm outside Bihai Winery stood a black supercar.
A young man with good looks got out of the driver's seat and walked around to open the back door.
One foot in black high heels stepped on the ground followed by another. On those fair feet were smooth white legs with a black skirt that only reached just above knee level. Above that was a small sequined black camisole revealing beautiful shoulders.
Her long hair flowed behind in soft curls while red lips were covered by a butterfly mask encrusted with black diamonds.
Ace of Hearts whistled upon seeing this attire before taking off his coat and draping it over Selena's shoulders without hesitation.
Selena reached out and linked her arm with Ace of Hearts, the two of them walking towards the entrance with ease. The guards stationed outside saw them, or more specifically, saw Ace of Hearts and were clearly taken aback. One guard quickly raised his hand in a welcoming gesture and said, "Please cinside." Ace of Hearts led Selena into the hall where they were momentarily blinded by all the flashing lights and colors.
Selena had never been to an event like this before but showed no signs of discomfort.
Speople recognized Ace of Hearts immediately and let out a scream. "Oh my god! It's Opal!" As an internationally renowned superstar, Opal was used to being recognized so she wasn't surprised at all.
Seeing the swarm of girls approaching them, Ace of Hearts smiled brightly and leaned down to kiss Selena on the cheek. "Sorry babe, my date wouldn't be too happy about this." The girls left in a daze.
After taking in their surroundings at the winery's grand hall, Selena said, "They're upstairs.” Opal gave her a sly smile as she looked towards where Selena pointed before patting her on the shoulder."Go ahead; I'll wait for you down here." Selena headed towards the elevator while Ace of Hearts watched her walk away with a meaningful smile."Good luck baby," he whispered before turning around gracefully to join others on dance floor...
Selena rode up in elevator until it reached its destination- top floor.
Unexpectedly, the top floor was unusually quiet.
Selena walked along the black hallway, feeling a bit nostalgic as she looked at the scene before her.
Based on their respective identities, if they were to meet, it would have been with great dignity and solemnity. But now she felt a bit inferior.
It wasn't just because her status was not as high as his; it was mainly because of what had happened between them when they were younger. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty about it.
But he was a man in a high position; surely he wouldn't hold grudges against her for something that happened so long ago? Selena pondered these thoughts secretly to herself.
As she took only a few steps forward, she cface-to-face with a black-suited bodyguard walking towards her. "Excuse me," he said hesitantly upon seeing Selena’s delicate figure in her black dress. "Are you sure you're in the right place?" Selena pulled out an invitation card from her purse.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man looked at the black envelope with a gold rose printed on it and his expression grew even more peculiar. This was indeed the pass to the winery, and most people couldn't even get to the top floor. It was definitely the person his master wanted to see.
The man put away the invitation and said, "Miss, this way please." Selena's slender heels stepped onto the carpet without making a sound as she walked. She casually asked, "May | ask if His Majesty has taken a wife?" As long as he had a wife, he wouldn't bother with her foolish mistake...
The man felt that Selena's voice sounded familiar but couldn't remember where he had heard it before. As usual, they didn't answer such questions but this woman seemed to have sspecial status since she was their master's first female visitor who wasn't avoided or rejected.
If she had any improper intentions...
Thinking of this, the man's gaze towards Selena turned cold as he said in a low voice, "My master already has a wife whom he deeply loves." Selena breathed out in relief upon hearing that there was already someone else. At least now she wouldn't be held accountable for her mistake.
"They only needed to exchange a few words before going their separate ways.
She was looking for a husband, and he was looking for a wife. It was clear and straightforward.
The man thought he would see Selena look disappointed or resentful, but instead she let out a heavy sigh as if she had just released sburden.
The man looked puzzled.
What does his grandfather's marriage have to do with this? But it becobvious that the other party did not have any intentions towards his grandfather in that way. The question earlier must have been a misunderstanding on his part.
Feeling apologetic, the man glanced at Selena and pushed open the door in front of them. "My grandfather is inside. Please cin."
