Chapter 1696 - The Truth
At first, he thought that the couple didn't care about their daughter.
But later on, it seemed like there was more to it than that.
This man might have deliberately kept Selena in Beijing.
The reason could be related to the Turner family.
Hanley gestured across the table and said, "Sit."
Osvaldo smiled without expression and calmly sat down opposite him.
This person had opened his doors wide to welcome him in. He must have already decided to tell him
everything.
Hanley glanced at Osvaldo and said, "You should thank the Turner family."
Osvaldo's eyes grew cold, with a sharp edge of hostility flashing through them.
That sentence revealed too much information. No one knew Selena's past with the Turner family better
than Osvaldo did. She helped them because her Uncle David had caused harm to their entire family
out of guilt and responsibility. Strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with Selena herself. But Hanley
said that he should thank the Turner family anyway. However, he only cared about Selena.
It means that Selena owed the Turner family something...
In a flash of inspiration, Osvaldo's mind raced.
Even his breath was thrown off balance for a moment.
Hanley's voice was calm. "Do you know why she forgot about you back then?"
Osvaldo slowly lowered his eyelids.
After a long pause, he spoke in a cold and mournful tone. "... She couldn't make it when she was five
years old?"
He should have thought of this earlier.
When Selena was taken away from his arms by someone else, there wasn't much life left in her.
Even with modern medicine being advanced, such fragile little people...
And this man standing at the pinnacle of power wouldn't just watch his only daughter die.
So everything that followed became easy to guess.
There was something extra in Hanley's indifferent expression. "When she was sent back to the Wang
family back then, there wasn't much life left in her."
"And coincidentally, at that time, a man named Callum came to the Wang family with another little girl
who also didn't have much vitality."
Osvaldo shook rarely and unexpectedly not for truth.
But it wasn't for revenge, it was for the man named Callum.
Once a dragon slayer, the warrior had become the very dragon he despised under the harsh winds of
time.
"Callum brought his daughter to King's Court," Osvaldo lifted his eyes and stared at the person across
from him. "He used 'God's Light' to save two children. Since then, Selena hasn't been herself."
Hanley looked at the young man across from him. "As powerful as 'God's Light' is, it can't exchange
two people's souls without preparation."
And more than a decade later, when Aarav realized that his twin sister was in danger, he somehow
managed to switch their misplaced souls back through thousands of miles and space.
A wave of emotion surged in Osvaldo's dark eyes when Selena left him years ago and became
someone else. And now that she had become herself again after all these years, she met him once
more.
There seemed to be an invisible thread connecting them together through time and distance that
brought Selena back into his life after so many years.
And Hanley agreed to let Selena stay in King's Court and help The Turner Family regain everything
they lost because she owed Callum her life - even though it was also for saving her own daughter.
After a long silence, Osvaldo suddenly asked: "What happened with Selena's memory?"
Why did both Selenas have amnesia during their childhood?
Selena lost all memories about her brother - even forgetting about Osvaldo too.
Selena of the Turner family had forgotten everything about her encounter with the Riddle family,
including Christ. There were certainly lingering effects from "the light of God," but Osvaldo didn't
believe that this man had anything to do with Callum's family.
It was likely that Selena had forgotten everything about the Riddle family because something terrible
happened to her there when she was young. She was severely injured and almost died.
Callum and Nevaeh chose to make their daughter forget those dark memories. But what about
Selena's memories?Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
There was a dangerous glint in Hanley's deep eyes as he said, "If you really care for that girl, don't
investigate anything about that person."
Osvaldo sneered, "You don't care about your own son and yet you're trying to stop your daughter from
caring? You two are quite interesting!"
The man across from him didn't even flinch at Osvaldo's mockery.
Osvaldo chuckled coldly, "When she was five years old, she ran out alone looking for her brother and
almost lost her life. You erased all of her memories related to Aarav so it wouldn't happen again..."
Including him!
Hanley didn't deny it.
Osvaldo sneered again, "Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that Aarav is not only your son but also
Selena's brother."
"Selena has the right to know everything about her own brother."
Even if Aarav's existence would hurt Selena, she still wanted to see him.
Because, he was born with her and for her, his brother who gave up everything and worked tirelessly.
This was Osvaldo's choice.
Hanley did not stop him nor did he agree.
In this world, there are always things that will make young people with hot blood make different choices
from their elders who have experienced many things.
As for the final outcome of who wins or loses, it depends on each person's ability.
"One last question," Osvaldo's eyes were tinged with a hint of anger. "Have you had any involvement in
my development within the league over these years?"
Hanley looked at the young man across from him and suddenly smiled. "How do you want me to
answer that?"
Osvaldo's gaze turned cold as he stood up and left.
As expected, experience is still important in life.
At twelve years old, Osvaldo was kicked out of his own home by his father. At twenty years old, he
became the dark emperor of the empire.
He only took eight short years to suppress all rebellious voices and ascend to that position.
During this time, he faced countless dangers such as assassination attempts which were bloody and
cruel beyond measure but never encountered any oppression from Riddle Group Empire
Even if Riddle Group Empire does not intervene in conflicts within the dark zone anymore they would
never allow others to sleep soundly while lying beside them?
The empire may not interfere but they definitely pay attention.
Selena had said just yesterday that she had grown up being "bullied" by him. He had been opposing
her from afar for so many years, yet he never retaliated against Selena in any way. It was clear that
Hanley was involved in this somehow.
