Chapter 1276 Trouble Osvaldo?
Trouble Osvaldo"
Selena thought for a moment and said, "Madam, Osvaldo is doing well."
In other words, she didn't want to bother him.
Lady Lauren covered her slightly twitching mouth with her fan. With such a pure and beautiful daughter-in-law, she must keep an
eye on her for her son and not let those wolves outside take advantage of her.
She was about to speak, but she looked up and saw Patrick walking over.
Lady Lauren looked at the sky, stood up with a smile and said, "Selena, rest early. | will cto see you again next time."
Selena personally sent Lady Lauren to the car before turning to ask Patrick behind her, "What happened?"
Patrick looked at her and sighed, "Lady Lauren cto see you today, and besides that, she also talked to the Turner family about
your engagement with them."
"Have you really... thought it through, Selena?"
Selena's cheeks suddenly turned pink, but she quickly thought of something and asked, "What does Uncle think?"
Patrick shook his head, "I haven't asked Father yet."
"Uncle is an elder, let's ask for his advice first." Selena lowered her curly lashes and said softly.
"Selena, you are the daughter of the Turner family. As long as you are willing, Father will not object." Patrick frowned.
Selena smiled and didn't continue the topic, asking about the research institute, "What is the plan for the Turner family?"
Although Diego had returned the control of the research institute on the surface, he had been away for 20 years, and the institute
had already been eroded by the power of the Poole and Shaw families.
The actual power held by the Baxter family was still too little compared to those two families.

Even with Selena's current prestige in the research department, it was not easy to regain control of the entire research institute for
the Turner family.
Patrick looked at Selena, seeming to want to say something, but ultimately didn't. He sighed, "Selena, Father is back. He will
protect you and guard the entire Turner family. You don't have to work so hard."
If there was no other way, who would be willing to send such a beautiful and obedient daughter out to suffer?
Selena smiled slightly, "I believe in Uncle."
As the former first commander of Capital, Oscar's methods were extraordinary.
Since Oscar returned to the Turner family, the situation in the capital has been changing at a visible speed.
Of course, this change is naturally good for the Turner family.
Selena may be ruthless, but she has not yet gained deep prestige despite her recent rise.
Oscar, on the other hand, is different. If he sets his mind to it, the Turner family can easily regain its footing not just within the
research institute, but even within Zone Six.
Before Patrick could speak, Selena said, "lI promised Osvaldo last night that | would go back tonight... please let Uncle know."
After speaking, she smiled at Patrick and walked away. Leia opened the car door, Selena got in the back seat, and the blue sports
car left the Turner family mansion.
Patrick stood at the door, watching the car with Selena inside until it was out of sight. He then withdrew his gaze, lowered his
eyelids, and suppressed an unknown sigh.
Leia took Selena back to the villa.
The servants had been worried all day due to Selena's sudden departure last night, so when they saw her return, they greeted her
happily.
The butler stepped forward and asked, "Madam Selena, you're back. Why didn't you let the young master pick you up?"
Selena said with a smile, "I decided to cback at the last minute, and Osvaldo doesn't know yet."
She glanced towards the second floor study and said with a smile, "I'll go find him."
Before the butler could speak, Selena had already stepped upstairs.
The butler's words, "The young master isn't in the study at the moment," were stuck in his throat. He watched Selena's back
disappear and thought that it wouldn't hurt to let the young lady visit her husband's workplace since there was nowhere in the villa
that Selena couldn't go.
Thinking of this, the butler happily went to instruct the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Selena arrived outside Osvaldo's study.
She had already developed the habit of entering his territory without knocking. She pushed the door open without hesitation and
said, "Osvaldo, I--"
But she didn't see the person she wanted to see at the desk.
Selena's smile faltered as she looked at the spacious and bright study, and subconsciously made her way in.
She looked around but didn't see Osvaldo, instead, she found a book that she was very interested in.
Selena stood in front of the bookshelf, hesitating whether or not to take the book.
According to her upbringing, she would never touch other people's things without their permission.
However, after being influenced by Osvaldo for so long, she finally gave in and stepped out of the framework and rules she had
followed for over a decade.
The book was placed on a high shelf, so Selena brought over a chair, took off her shoes, and stood on the chair to reach for it. As
she picked up the book, she suddenly heard a tearing sound coming from her chest.
Selena looked down and saw that her clothes had accidentally caught on a hook, leaving a tear.

She was wearing a lotus blue dress today, which already had a low neckline, and after the tear, a large portion of her figure was
exposed.
Panicking, Selena put down the book and covered her chest with her hands.
To make matters worse, footsteps suddenly cfrom outside the door.
She could hear more than one person approaching.
Selena looked around but couldn't find anything to hide behind, so she hurriedly crawled under the desk.
The footsteps outside got closer and closer.
Selena could already hear a man's voice speaking, and it sounded like there was more than one person.
If someone saw her appearing in Osvaldo's study with her clothes in disarray like a thief, who knows what kind of jokes would be
made at her expense.
Selena quickly crawled out from under the desk, grabbed her high heels that she had left outside and hid them.
Just as she finished hiding, the footsteps reached her location.
Selena shrunk under the desk and stared wide-eyed at a pair of slender and straight legs that approached her, and eventually
stopped right in front of her.
Probably out of guilt, Selena stared fixedly at the legs without blinking, and unconsciously breathed lightly.
"I was curious before about how you suddenly becso easy to talk to. It turns out that..."
This was Luke's voice.
Someone then sat down on the chair in front of her and the pair of legs approached even closer to Selena.
The black trousers were exquisitely tailored and had no wrinkles, emanating a strong sense of power. He seemed to have done
something, as Luke's voice suddenly stopped and didn't continue.
