Chapter 1570 Threat!
Selena's question immediately caught the attention of Oscar and Patrick. Oscar looked at Selena's face, but couldn't read her
expression.
Patrick asked, "Why do you want to know?"
Selena touched her face and said, "I'm just curious. Why do people always say | look like... my father?"
If anyone else had heard this question, they might not have thought much of it. But Oscar and Patrick knew exactly what Selena
was asking.
She wasn't the real daughter of the Turner family.
But she looked so much like their daughter and had a personality similar to Callum... it was too coincidental.
Oscar shook his head and gave a definitive answer, "No."
As the eldest son of the previous generation, he had seen both his younger brothers born. If he said there wasn't another daughter
in the Turner family who had been cast out or hidden away somewhere, then it must be true.
The mother couldn't have been a Turner family member either since they didn't have any daughters who were missing or unknown.
Her father was from Riddle Group's royal family... so why did she resemble someone from the Turner family so closely?
After pondering for a moment without finding an answer to her question, Selena pushed it aside and remembered something about
Diana obtaining Sacred Pearl at research institute. She stood up saying,"Uncle , cousin , Diana has obtained Sacred Pearl which
means trouble is brewing . I'll go deal with her issue."
After speaking these words, Selena walked out with quick steps.
Patrick got up to see Selena off, while Oscar stayed in the lobby, pondering over her question. This girl had a face identical to his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtniece's and a personality that was strikingly similar to Callum's. Was it really just a coincidence? He couldn't help but think of the
person who had swapped the two Selenas using "God's Light" from behind. Why did it have to be these two girls? Both Selenas
were in mortal danger and someone behind this knew about their existence and also knew when they were in trouble.
Oscar felt like he had grasped onto something important. As he watched Selena leave, his expression becinscrutable. After
seeing her off, Patrick walked back into the room and asked his father if there was anything he wanted to tell Selena earlier.
Oscar looked up at him with a serious expression on his face,"The power struggle for control of Central City is intense right now
and | have ssuspicions that we shouldn't burden Selena with just yet."
Selena didn't have any spare energy at the moment anyway; telling her would only add more weight on her shoulders.
Before Patrick could say anything else, Sherman suddenly walked into the room looking strange,"Young Master, there is someone
outside claiming to be Miss Turner's friend who has call this way specifically to visit The Turner Family."
Both Oscar and Patrick were taken aback by this news as Selena didn't really have any friends in the capital.
Selena had just left when the visitor arrived unexpectedly. Patrick furrowed his brow while Oscar spoke up, "Please let him in." A
few moments later, Sherman ushered in a young man who was handsand elegant with gentle eyes and an alluring aura that
made it hard to look away from him. Oscar almost immediately guessed his identity at first glance.
Patrick looked at the man's handsface, which carried a smile but for sreason made him feel guarded. "And who might you
be?" he asked.
The man smiled politely and replied, "My nis Stanley Soo. | am Selena's childhood friend."
Under the indifferent gaze of the Turner father-son duo, Stanley remained composed as he added, "We grew up together."
Oscar lowered his eyes while Patrick's expression changed slightly. Selena had just been honest with them about her past and now
this person appeared out of nowhere.
Patrick turned to Sherman and said firmly, "Sherman, please take everyone else out."
Sherman looked at this guest whose charisma was off-the-charts before leading everyone out of the living room.
In the lobby, only the Turner family father and son and Stanley were left.
"Mr. Soo, please have a seat," Oscar said.
Stanley walked over to sit across from Oscar and looked at the man in front of him. "Thank you for taking care of Selena during her
year in the capital."
Patrick's face darkened slightly. Although he knew Selena wasn't his blood relative, it was still jarring to have someone cout of
nowhere and openly try to take what was his.
Oscar remained calm. "It was nothing."
Stanley smiled slyly. "Selena has always been a kind and grateful child. She doesn't mind when others owe her, but she hates
owing anyone else. She's willing to endure hardships for that reason alone."
"She must have told you everything about her relationship with the Turner family by now," Stanley continued. "Thank you for not
hurting her after learning the truth."
Although Stanley's words sounded gentle, there was an underlying coldness that both members of the Turner family could sense.
The fact that they hadn't hurt Selena meant that they had earned Stanley's gratitude today; however, if they had hurt Selena in
any way, this guest from central city might not be so friendly towards them.
Patrick spoke softly: "Selena has helped us a lot; we will never blher."
Stanley's eyes deepened as he maintained his smile: "Thank you, Mr. Turner."
Oscar scrutinized the young man sitting across from him with something hidden in his eyes: "Mr. Soo chere today; is there
anything else?"

Stanley smiled elegantly, "I will soon bring Selena back to the city center, but before that, there is indeed one thing that | need
your help with."
He looked into Oscar's eyes and continued, "Mr. Anderson from the capital and Miss Turner from the Turner family are engaged.
This is a well-known fact in both the Turner family and throughout H country."
"I hope you two can help safeguard this marriage for Miss Turner."
"Miss Turner has been alone for half her life and it's rare for her to find such a good match. As her uncle and cousin, we cannot let
her suffer any more hardships."
Oscar immediately confirmed his suspicions as he stared sharply at Stanley. "She's with you!"
Stanley smiled but did not deny it. "Rest assured Mr. Turner, Miss Turner is currently safe withbut she still needs tto fully
recover before returning hunscathed once Selena returns to the city center."
"Just don't forget about the engagement between the Andersons and Turners," Stanley reminded them.
Patrick understood what Stanley meant by this statement and his face changed instantly as he said accusingly,"You-"
But Stanley turned towards Patrick calmly saying,"Selena has been my fiancé since childhood; she was always meant to be my wife
once we were of age."
"It was because of a mistake on my part that | lost her which led her to beca daughter of the Turner family."
"All mistakes must eventually return back to their origin... isn't that right?"
Patrick was moved by his deep affection in his eyes so much so that he could no longer say anything angry except warn him
gently,"What you're doing will hurt her!"
She doesn't love Osvaldo from your family! She hasn't even met him yet!
The relationship between Selena and that man was obvious to everyone. Doing so would make both girls sad and upset.
