While Selena was arranging the follow-up matters, the direction of public opinion on Weibo reversed.
There has been a lot of gossip about Selena in these few days.
Many black fans criticized her for being cruel, and even ordinary fans were blaming her for being too heartless.
After the few sentences Selena said outside the hospital were broadcasted, a wave of new rumors came crashing towards her.
At this moment, the direction of public opinion suddenly reversed.
First, Hannah suddenly recorded a video on her Weibo account and detailed what had happened at the hotel, taunting Selena with a smile in her tone.
“I really don’t understand. The Walson Group went bankrupt entirely because Leah bullied the Riddle family’s young lady. Yet you guys are all blaming Selena… what kind of logic is that?”
As soon as the video was released, it caused a huge backlash.
“Is Leah insane? She’s been bullying Selena for so many years, and now she dares to bully the legitimate young lady of the Riddle family… does she think she can bully the Riddle family from the capital?”
“I feel ashamed for those who have ever criticized Selena. Leah is the one at fault, yet they were blaming Selena for no reason. No wonder Selena couldn’t be bothered to explain. Their brains are messed up!”
Next, the official website of the Walson Group announced that they would be expelling the first branch of the Walson family and that Talon would officially become the next leader of the Walson family. They also posted the agreement letter of Selena’s unconditional gift of 8% shares to the Walson Group.
When this Weibo post came out, those who previously criticized Selena for being ruthless and cruel seemed to have been slapped in the face.
Some people hurriedly deleted their posts, some apologized to Selena in the comments, and even more people flocked to Leah’s Weibo account to curse at her with even more vicious words.
…
Inside the castle.
Selena held the ring and looked at it from the afternoon until evening.
When it was dark, she closed the box, opened her phone, and called Margot.
“Margot, come pick me up in Creephia.”
Margot seemed stunned for a moment, then replied with a grievance, “Selena, the Qin estate is filled with password mechanisms everywhere. I can’t get out…”
If she could get out, she wouldn’t have obediently been trapped for so long.
Selena smiled gently and said, “Find the right time for them to go out, prepare the tools, and then send me a video. I’ll tell you how to break the password mechanisms.”
Margot cheered, almost jumping with joy. “Wait for me! I’ll come to Creephia soon to pick you up, and I’ll take care of those bastards who dared to bully you before!”
A faint sound of footsteps came from behind, someone was approaching. Selena softly said, “Okay,” and ended the call.
She turned around, looking up.
Osvaldo walked over with a nocturnal aura, his jet-black hair partially covering his eyes, making it difficult to discern his true emotions.
However, the chilling and desolate aura emanating from him was unmistakable.
A sweet smile graced Selena’s face. “You’re back…”
Osvaldo came closer and naturally embraced her. His voice carried a hint of laziness. “Why are you sitting here alone?”
Selena raised an eyebrow. “I was waiting for you to come back.”
From afternoon until evening.
Osvaldo lifted his long eyelashes, his deep gaze locking onto her eyes. “Waiting for me?”
Osvaldo’s eyes were too dark and too cold, beautiful yet sinister, as if they could pierce through one’s soul.
Meeting Osvaldo’s gaze, Selena inexplicably felt a flutter in her heart, sending shivers down her spine.
She paused for a moment, unable to speak out the words she had intended.
Gathering her thoughts, Selena said, “I…”
Osvaldo’s gaze swept over the jewelry box she held in her hand, his eyes turning icy.
He smiled, his gaze fixated on Selena with an intensity that bordered on stubbornness. He calmly and gently said, “I’m tired, darling. Would you accompany me for a while?”
Although the words were tender, they made Selena’s hairs stand on end.
She widened her eyes, looking at Osvaldo who held her. “I need to tell you something…”
Somehow, she felt that something was amiss…
Osvaldo chuckled softly. “Hmm…”
He lowered his head, his lips brushing against her ear, so close that his voice seemed to resonate in her mind. “But I don’t feel like hearing you talk right now.”
It was the first time Selena had received such rejection from Osvaldo, and her expression was slightly bewildered.
Osvaldo had been unusually out of character today. Selena bit her lip, looking up at Osvaldo with a hint of unease. “What’s wrong with you?”
Osvaldo held her tightly in his arms, like a doll in his grasp.
The man chuckled, and his slender fingers brushed over her lips. “You, behave, okay?”
Selena shivered, looking at his almost too-perfect face, her face turning pale.
“If you don’t behave, I won’t be able to control myself and punish you,” Osvaldo lowered his head, smiling gently to soothe her. “But don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you.”
Selena felt a bit uneasy. She had become accustomed to his tenderness, and his sudden change in behavior made her feel uneasy.
The last time Osvaldo’s emotions had been so abnormal was when he had been injured…
The thought of his recent abnormal behavior made Selena’s heart skip a beat.
Selena’s heart tightened, and she grabbed the man’s hand. “Did you get hurt again?”
Osvaldo lowered his long eyelashes, hiding the strange and insidious look in his eyes. He pretended to be gentle and weak. “It’s just an old injury acting up again…”
Selena panicked, nearly jumping up. “Then let’s hurry back and find a doctor…”
Osvaldo’s lips curved into a charming yet sinister smile. “Do you have something important to tell me?”
Selena grabbed his arm, trying to pull the man up from the wicker chair. However, she couldn’t move him no matter how hard she tried. She compromised, “I won’t say anything today. You should go see a doctor first. Then, can I accompany you to sleep?”
Osvaldo’s dark and eerie eyes turned into a solid form, wrapping around her layer by layer, swallowing her up. He repeated, “Will you really accompany me to sleep?”
Selena didn’t sense the ambiguity in his words and coaxed him gently. “It’s my fault. You’re injured and tired. I shouldn’t have told you these things. Shall we go find a doctor immediately?”
Osvaldo’s gaze swept over her face before finally smiling. He finally condescended to move his steps, allowing Selena to lead him into the hall.
The butler was waiting for the two to have dinner. When Selena brought Osvaldo back, he immediately said, “Madam, young master, come and eat.”
Selena whispered, “Noah, hurry and find a doctor. Osvaldo’s old injury is acting up.”
The butler turned around and immediately went to find the family doctor…
