Chapter 1142 I'll Chop Off Your Hand if it Happened Again! "She even gave him the Sacred Pearl, what else can't she give?" Osvaldo looked at the young girl's innocent face and let out a low laugh. His devilish black eyes were fixed on her, "Can you tellwho you really are?" The man's gentle and eerie words sounded like a thunderbolt, exploding in Selena's ears.
Her deepest secret was unexpectedly uncovered, revealing the fragile and painful truth deep inside her. She couldn't help but panic.
Seeing Selena's slightly uneasy expression, Osvaldo frowned and realized that he had scared her. "Don't be afraid," he said, holding her arm and kissing her forehead gently. "Selena, | won't hurt you." Selena's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Osvaldo's question had probably confirmed his suspicion that she was not the real Selena. But could he accept that she was a dead person? And what about her homeland, her hatred, the blood debt she owed to the underground city and the Turner family... she hadn't decided whether or not to tell him.
Selena bit her lip and lowered her curled eyelashes.
Osvaldo's deep eyes looked at her intently, and he encouraged her gently, "Selena, you said you would telleverything after the matter in Capital is settled." After a moment of silence, Selena raised her eyes and met Osvaldo's charming gaze. She summoned the courage to say, "l won't regret what | said." This man liked her and treated her well. Whether they would be together in the future or not, he had the right to know everything about her.
Osvaldo smiled and embraced her, his thin lips touching her ear as he chuckled, "You little rascal, are you still hiding from me?" Selena blushed instantly, feeling guilty. "I won't hide anymore..." Osvaldo kissed her and his lips curved into a gentle yet dangerous smile. "Then it's settled, the Anderson family will propose to the Turner family." Selena remained silent.
Ten minutes later, Osvaldo walked down the stairs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConstance had not listened to the butler's advice and was still waiting in the hall.
As soon as she saw Osvaldo, her gaze fixed on his face and she smiled tenderly, "Osvaldo, let's continue..." Osvaldo never looked at her, his voice cold and menacing, "If it happens again, I'll chop off your hand!" After speaking, he walked past Constance and went straight into the kitchen.
Constance stood there, her face pale, tears welling up in her eyes as she bit down on her lip.
She suppressed her jealousy and resentment, packed her things, and walked out of the villa.
Outside the gate, a bright red Ferrari had just pulled up.
Luke got out of the car and frowned when he saw Constance walking out of the villa early in the morning.
Constance stopped in her tracks, concealing her disheveled appearance with a gentle and sweet smile. "Long tno see, Luke," she said.
Luke's gaze swept over her face and he frowned, "What are you doing here?" The news of the Institute had spread throughout the capital yesterday, and Luke, all the way in Creephia, naturally knew about it.
It was only yesterday that he had offended Selena, and now he dared to chere so openly. Compared to other women, Constance was indeed courageous.
Constance did not answer the question, she just smiled and asked, "I just cback to the capital. Aren't you going to welcme back?" Luke remembered that she was the girl Dante liked, and he smiled, "Of course, I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Constance turned around and looked back at the villa behind her, her smile soft to the extreme, "I never thought that after leaving for three years, he would already have a girl he likes..." Osvaldo went into the kitchen to help Selena bring breakfast upstairs. After Selena finished eating, she took Leia to the Institute.
After the events of yesterday, everyone in the Institute looked at Selena's eyes completely differently.
A group of people who really loved doing research could not wait to worship her as their ancestor.
Those who had previously disliked her and mocked her now looked at her with a mix of shock and fear.
As for the high-level staff of the Institute, they didn't even dare to show their faces.
Under the gaze of a group of eager, admiring, and fearful eyes, Selena calmly walked to the research department.
The atmosphere in the entire research department was completely different from the last tshe was there.
It was so quiet that it felt brand new.
Selena sat down in her office and smiled, "Notify everyone, we're having a meeting!" In less than ten minutes, the entire research department had assembled at a speed that had never been seen before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone sat upright and neatly in their seats, looking at Selena eagerly and admiringly.
Especially the group of mechanical engineers who loved research, each with dark circles under their eyes, were extremely excited and obviously hadn't slept all night.
Only the younger generation of the Shaw family, who had previously mocked Selena, were pale and nervous, afraid that Selena would seek revenge or settle scores.
Selena elegantly crossed her legs and got straight to the point, "Two things. Firstly, investigate the historical records of all staff in the research department. Anyone who has taken bribes or embezzled funds, and those who have unsatisfactory records, will be dismissed!" At least half of the people present had their faces changed when she spoke. They looked at Selena in horror, remembering her fierce and dominant style, but dared not oppose her.
However, the group of mechanical engineers who really loved research didn't feel much about this. They just stared at Selena intently.
Selena raised her eyelids lightly and smiled, "Secondly, the designs | drew yesterday are officially being launched today." "All staff members in the research department are eligible to participate. If you don't understand anything, you can asknow." Almost the next second after Selena finished speaking, the group of old mechanical engineers immediately stood up in a rush.
"Minister Turner, | have many questions. How did you merge this angle with the recoil...?" "Miss, | don't understand many parts..." Selena picked up a whiteboard marker and walked to the blackboard casually.
As soon as they saw her movements, the atmosphere in the room suddenly quieted down.
Then, the group of mechanical engineers sat down seriously and orderly, took out their notebooks and pens, and began to ask questions in order like elementary school students.
Selena fluently answered each person's questions, occasionally raising her hand to write down two formulas on the blackboard.
It was not until evening, after it had turned dark, that Selena was able to leave the research department.
Leia immediately handed her a glass of honey water.
Selena had said too much today and her throat was a bit hoarse.
