Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo)

Chapter 956 Take it Back Osvaldo's eyes were dark, and the corner of his mouth was hooked, appearing both pleased and satisfied yet dangerous.

"Heh..." He made a light sneer, as if he couldn't be bothered to mention it.

Selena instantly detected a different meaning in his tone, and she looked at him with slightly widened eyes.

"You..." Osvaldo looked at her with anxious and expectant eyes, his smile becoming wider and his voice gentle and doting. "The 'Sacred Pearl’ is the most advanced weapon in the mechanical field today, and its owner will always be the one who stands at the top." Selena's heart skipped a beat. "Then why are you..." Allowing Diana to take away the 'Sacred Pearl'? Treating her as a 'life-saving benefactor'? Osvaldo stared at her with a touch of bitterness on his face, his voice tinged with a hint of darkness. "Because my true life-saving benefactor refuses to show herself. She would rather let me take the credit than come forward and tell me that she saved me..." Selena's fingertips trembled, and a sense of numbness surged through her heart.

Osvaldo forcefully lifted her chin and looked deeply into her eyes, his tone full of warm encouragement. "Selena, are you angry with me about something?" Selena trembled uncontrollably, even at the nerve endings. For a moment, she realized that the man in front of her seemed to have already seen through everything.

This sudden realization caused panic to well up inside her, and she instinctively took a step back.

Osvaldo's gaze remained fixed on her. He reached out and embraced her by the spine, pulling her into his arms, and lowered his head to capture her gaze. His tone was oppressive, as if he was heartbroken. "I won't force you." "I'll wait until Selena is willing to tell me everything about you." Selena's eyelashes trembled, and her eyes were filled with confusion and panic. "I..." Osvaldo comforted his little baby, whom he held close to his heart, and spoke tenderly. "Selena, don't be afraid." No matter what happens in the future, he will use everything he has to cherish and protect her.

Selena lay on his shoulder, gazing at the capital shrouded in the misty rain, her eyes filled with a misty fog.

Biting her lip, she whispered, "Are you really... not going to leave me?" In her distant memories, she vaguely remembered that more than one person had said similar things to her.

But in the end... they all left.

Stanley said he was her sword and her shield, but she didn't see him until the moment she died.

It seemed that there was someone else who had said this to her.

Who was that person? Selena's expression became bewildered, and her gaze unconsciously began to search again.

Osvaldo noticed that she was absent-minded and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He tightened his embrace, causing Selena pain. She snapped out of her thoughts and looked up to meet the man's dark eyes. He smiled at her, his voice gentle and chilling. "Yes, | will never leave you." Selena stared at the man for a moment, then suddenly smiled sweetly and took the initiative to kiss him on the lips for the first time. A cool breeze blew, and Selena suddenly sneezed.

Osvaldo's long, straight eyelashes trembled as he reached out to open the car door and picked up Selena, settling her in the warm passenger seat. Then he drove back to the villa.

After placing Selena on the sofa, Osvaldo was about to leave when Selena suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve. "Actually... you don't have to withdraw the investment from the institute..." Although Selena wanted to beat Diana to death for her shameless behavior, in the eyes of others, Diana's "life- saving grace" to Osvaldo was genuine. Until Selena exposed Diana's theft, she was still the benefactor of Osvaldo.

If Osvaldo withdrew his investment now, it would make him seem ungrateful. Furthermore, as the eldest young master of the Anderson family, changing his mind publicly would make him lose face.

Osvaldo reached out to touch her forehead and ordered the maid who was waiting nearby to prepare a bow! of warming tonic before saying in a low voice, "She upset you." Selena heard him mention the tonic and instinctively shrunk her neck. "I'm not sick..." Osvaldo squatted down in front of her, bending his lips. "If you don't drink the tonic, you'll have to take medicine." Selena quickly shook her head and backed away. "I just sneezed. I'm not sick. | don't need medicine..." Medicine was a nightmare from her childhood, just the thought of it made her shudder.

Osvaldo smiled. "I promise it won't be bitter." Selena made a bitter face and shook her head, refusing to give in. "I can take a hot bath! Rest early! Or go find the black and white magpies..." Because of this sudden interruption, Selena completely forgot about persuading Osvaldo to withdraw the investment.

At the same time, there was the Research Institute and the Research Department. Diana looked at the person standing outside the door, her face turning pale. "What do you mean, Mr. Pearce?" James had an indifferent expression and couldn't be bothered to explain. "Get to work." The person following him took a step towards the warehouse.

Suddenly, chaos erupted in the Research Department. The group of people standing behind Diana, who looked up to her, began to shout.

"The Anderson family promised to support the Research Department. How could they go back on their word?" "Diana is Mr. Anderson's savior. These resources were promised to us. How could you suddenly take them back?" Diana looked at the scene, her temples throbbing, and her face showing an uncontrollable ferocity.

The Anderson family promised the Research Department a valuable sum of resources because of her "life-saving grace." It was precisely because of the Anderson family's favor, coupled with these resources, and the "Sacred Pearl," that Diana had achieved her current high position.

Just as she was about to take over as head of the Research Department, the Anderson family suddenly wanted to take back all the resources.

Wasn't this a blatant humiliation? They were also telling everyone that Diana's so-called "life-saving grace" was nothing to the Anderson family.

Those who had previously feared her because of this relationship would no longer be afraid of her. And the group of mechanics she had previously crushed would surely take this opportunity to fight back! Diana was infuriated at the thought of possibly losing her current position of adoration and flattery. She shouted with red eyes, "Stop all of you!" "These are the resources Mr. Anderson promised me with his own mouth. Why are you taking them back?" "I am his ‘life-saving grace," and this is what | deserve!" Unfortunately, no one at the scene listened to her no matter how loudly she shouted.

James stood indifferently on the side, emitting a chilling aura, obviously not willing to explain anything.
