Chapter 1170 Who Are You?
"The Turner family is closed to visitors today. Goodbye, everyone, and thank you for coming," said Oscar in a calm tone, leaving
everyone stunned.
Does this mean that the guests being sent away include not only the Soo family, but also everyone present? Does that mean...
even the Anderson family is being rejected?
Isn't this tantamount to rejecting the Anderson family's marriage proposal?!
The people in the hall were too shocked to react and turned to look at Osvaldo.
Even Selena was stunned.
Osvaldo slowly lowered his butterfly-like eyelashes, his eyes flickering with coldness.
Benjamin, who had been silent all this while, spoke calmly, "Tell me, what is it about my son that you are not satisfied with? I'll
discipline him as necessary."
Oscar's voice was as flat as his expression, "I'm very satisfied with everything about Mr. Anderson."
"And then?" sneered Benjamin.
Oscar whispered, "My satisfaction is not enough. My second brother is Selena's father, and Selena is still young. It's only right to
wait for my second brother to cback before considering marriage for her."
Lady Lauren's smile froze on her face.
It was only now that they understood what Benjamin had meant when he said that the wife his son had just obtained might be lost.
They had just resolved one small problem, and now the Turner family had thrown a bigger one in their way!

What's more, the reason given by Oscar was reasonable and irrefutable!
With Callum missing, it would be heartless for the Anderson family to threaten the Turner family with the marriage certificate. But if
they really waited for Callum to return before Selena could get married, how long would Osvaldo have to wait?
Christ spoke calmly, "Commander Turner is right. Miss Turner is only nineteen years old and clearly not yet of marriageable age. If
Mr. Turner comes back and sees his daughter being deceived and abducted by a man, he will undoubtedly be heartbroken."
Lady Lauren glared fiercely at Christ and then turned her puppy eyes towards her husband.
Benjamin stroked his wife's hair and spoke lazily, "The Turner family's bloodline is rare. When Callum comes back and sees his
grandchildren all around him, he will surely be happy."
This reason was also quite clever.
But on closer inspection, it seemed to make sense.
The Turner family is left with only a few people, especially after Lady Nevaeh passed away and Callum returned to the capital. It's
easy to imagine the feelings Callum had when he saw this scene. At that time, if there were a few more blood-related family
members, it would have been easier to bear.
Oscar's eyes were calm as he said, "It's true, but even though my younger brother is sad, he doesn't need to use his daughter's
happiness to comfort himself."
Benjamin narrowed his exquisitely curved black eyes and said, "My son is already married to the Turner family's daughter. Are you
suggesting that your niece should bear the stigma of breaking off an engagement?"
Oscar coughed lightly and said, "There were no formalities like the Three Letters and Six Etiquettes, asking for the bride's name,
betrothal gifts... How can it be considered a marriage?"
Benjamin's lips curved playfully as he said, "The Three Letters and Six Etiquettes are already completed today. The Anderson
family will find a good day to hold an engagement banquet another day."
Oscar nodded and said, "That's a good solution."
Benjamin sneered, then hugged Lady Lauren's waist and walked away. The two gentlemen reached a consensus in just a few
words.
The others were still immersed in the conversation between the two and were slow to react. Selena looked at Osvaldo with her
dark eyes.
Osvaldo met her gaze with a gentle and indulgent smile on his face and softly said, "I'll cto pick you up tomorrow."
Then he turned and left. The others stared in surprise for a while before gradually coming back to their senses.
"What does the Turner family mean?"
"Isn't it obvious? The Turner family is unhappy that their daughter was taken away without following proper procedures, so they
want the Anderson family to complete all the necessary steps!"
"So... does this mean that the Turner family has accepted the Anderson family's proposal? Are they really going to be in-laws?!"
Everyone was hit hard by these sudden twists and turns.
Constance's face turned pale and she asked, "Are they going to be engaged?" Today was the proposal, tomorrow was the
engagement, and then they would get married. Then those two would be a legitimate couple!
Constance's heart tightened with jealousy and dissatisfaction as she glanced at Selena and made up her mind about something
before turning and leaving. The host family had given the order to dismiss guests, so the others couldn't stay any longer.
In addition, so many things happened to the Turner family today that everyone was busy going back to discuss countermeasures
with the family and didn't feel like staying anymore. Soon, most of the people in the hall had left.
Oscar looked up and asked Selena softly, who seemed absent-minded, "Selena, are you blaming Uncle for not directly admitting
your marital relationship?"

Selena was originally lost in thought. When she heard Oscar's words, she cback to her senses and shook her head, "No, I'm
just... surprised."
Just a moment ago, Selena's thoughts had been focused on her and Osvaldo's fake marriage. She never expected that she would
not only accept his proposal but also becengaged to him and possibly marry him in the future...
The unexpected turn of events made Selena feel a sense of unease that things were out of her control.
Oscar looked at the girl's hidden unease and joy in her eyes for a moment before speaking up, "Patrick, | have something to talk to
Selena about. Go tell Tom to prepare, we'll go see grandfather together."
Selena was taken aback. She looked at Oscar's calm eyes, and all her uneasiness and joy vanished in an instant. A sense of
wariness rose in her heart.
Patrick was also stunned. He wasn't a dull person and could naturally sense the faint panic and fear in Selena when facing Oscar.
At first, he thought it was because Selena had never met Oscar before and was nervous seeing the only elder suddenly. After all,
Selena had shown such emotions when she first returned to the Turner family and saw him.
But at this moment, looking at Selena's slightly pale face, Patrick vaguely sensed that things seemed to be more complicated than
he thought.
He couldn't help but speak up, "Father, Selena--"
Oscar raised his hand to stop him, his tone revealing no meaning, "l won't hurt her."
Patrick thought about it and agreed with him. He patted Selena's shoulder, then turned and went upstairs.
The Turner family's servants also left with great insight.
In a blink of an eye, the empty hall was left with only Selena and Oscar.
Oscar looked at the girl who was staring at him with sfear, staring at her pair of jet-black and clear eyes, and slowly asked a
question, "Who are you?"
