Chapter 1422 Liked Him at First Sight
However, even though no one knew what the Anderson family currently had in their hands, no one in the capital dared to oppose
them.
The Anderson family was too mysterious and powerful for anyone to understand or figure out.
When Benjamin was young, he managed to keep the Turner family's only bloodline safe, despite being surrounded by enemies from
various influential families in the capital, including the organization that wiped out the Turner family.
Such skills were not possessed by just anyone.
Not to mention that the Anderson family was also in turmoil at that time.
At this point, Nicholas knew that Osvaldo would not change his mind.
His gaze swept over the glass of fruit wine in Osvaldo's hand, and he threatened in a low voice, "Mr. Anderson, you will regret this!"
Osvaldo glanced at Nicholas with cold eyes.
That glance made Nicholas suddenly feel cold. He felt as though his innermost secrets had been exposed.
However, he had lived for so many years and managed to maintain his composure.
Fortunately, Osvaldo only looked at him once before turning his attention back to the fruit wine in his hand.
With his eyes lowered, no one could see the emotions in his eyes.
Nicholas becinexplicably nervous and tightened his grip on his cane. Suddenly, he seemed to hear the young man opposite
him chuckle, a cold and chilling laugh.
Nicholas' heart skipped a beat, and he broke out in a cold sweat for no reason.
Just as he was suspecting that Osvaldo had discovered something, the young man calmly lifted the glass of fruit wine and drank it

He then casually threw the empty glass onto the table and stood up, walking towards the door.
Behind him, Nicholas glared at his retreating figure with a gloomy expression.
In the silent space, the man gradually moved away from Nicholas’ sight.
He raised his slender hand and grabbed the doorknob, exerting a slight force.
The door opened.
As the man's footsteps were about to step out of the room, his slender figure suddenly froze in place.
At the stime, Leia, who had just walked out of the door to go find Selena, remembered the glass of wine from earlier and
couldn't shake off the sense of unease in her heart.
The young girl hesitated for a moment, then decided to go back and retrieve the glass of wine.
If Madam Selena was going to cook for the young master herself, it wouldn't make a difference if she made it at home.
After turning around, Leia was suddenly stopped in her tracks by several figures blocking her way.
Meanwhile, Nicholas walked into the room next door as Vivian sat on the sofa. She jumped up in fright as Nicholas stared at her
with his hollow eyes, like a venomous snake. "Listen, if you can't make this man abandon the Turner family's daughter as you
promised, | will make the entire Shaw family disappear from the capital city!"
Vivian's heart was pounding heavily. Whether it was out of fear or excitement, she was covered in goosebumps.
Trembling, she asked, "Did he drink it?"
Nicholas snorted coldly, "I'll have someone guarding the door. You use whatever means you have to make it happen as soon as
possible! Remember, this is your only chance!" With that, Nicholas turned and left.
Vivian stumbled into the next room and saw the man lying on the sofa with his eyes closed.
After staring at him for a long time, she cautiously approached him. As she got closer, her heart beat faster.
She had known this man for over 20 years, but had never been this close to him before.
He slept peacefully, just like she had always imagined - handsand gentle.
After enduring many hardships, Vivian finally reached him. Tears streamed down her face as she spoke gently and madly, "I have
worked hard for you for half my life, even at the cost of the entire Shaw family. How could you not belong to me?"
She reached out to touch him, afraid of waking him up, and traced his handseyes from a distance. "Look, you belong to me
now, don't you?"
"Selena, you lost toin the end..."
Vivian was smiling and crying at the stime, her eyes filled with a heart-wrenching resolve as she reached out to touch the
man's collar.
Selena looked at the man standing in the darkness and thought of a phrase. "In this world, there is no beauty like this, either a fox
or a demon."
It was supposed to be the man's engagement day, but there was no trace of joy on his face. He bent down slightly and picked out
the largest and most beautiful flower from the night-blooming cereus garden with his slender fingers.
His fingertips set against the white petals, it was hard to say which was whiter.
Alfie held the flower and walked up to Selena. "This is for you."
Selena didn't take it, and only asked, "Are you giving up?"
Alfie didn't answer the question, he looked into her eyes and asked, "What do you like about that man?"
Selena thought carefully and answered seriously, "I don't know. | just like him when | see him."

Alfie's eyes dimmed, "Even if he is a demon without any humanity or compassion, you don't care?"
Selena's tone turned cold, "He is not."
"He is."
"He's not!" Her voice turned ice-cold.
The Osvaldo she knew might not be a good person, but he was definitely not someone who was so cruel that he couldn't
distinguish right from wrong.
Alfie lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he looked up and said, "Follow this road and you will see for
yourself what kind of person he is."
Selena looked in the direction Alfie was pointing and saw the winding red lanterns, which seemed to have no end in sight. The
hidden meaning in the man's words sent shivers down her spine. She didn't even have tto ask what they had done to Osvaldo
when panic took over her mind.
Selena ran towards the other end of the bridge.
Alfie watched her panicked figure disappear and couldn't help but feel surprised. She was such a strong and tough woman, but just
hearing that the man might have had an accident had made her lose her composure.
After a moment of silence, Alfie followed her.
Behind them, Aurelia, dressed in a red wedding dress, hid in the darkness and watched as the two figures left, her eyes full of
resentment.
Selena ran along the road towards the front, her heart consumed by the possibility of Osvaldo's accident, unable to maintain her
usual calm and composure.
Finally, she reached the end of the road. There was a small building standing there, and a man was standing in front of it.
Hearing the noise, Christ turned his head and saw a pale-faced girl with a panicked expression and short of breath due to running.
"You hatebecause | let Isabel do evil things," she said.
