Chapter 1629 Three Treasures "We have to go to the city center," said Lillian, interpreting her parents’ intentions from their sudden appearance.
Without changing her expression, Lillian raised her glass in congratulations to Selena. "Congratulations," she said calmly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelena smiled and accepted the toast with composure.
Hattie looked up at Selena, remembering how she had said goodbye to her before. She knew that Selena had already decided to leave the capital since then. Now it was just a matter of when she would leave.
Hattie didn't show any signs of sadness or attachment on her face; she just stood by Selena's side.
After Lillian finished speaking, she finally got down to business. She leaned back casually and faced the audience with a smile. "| brought three treasures withon this trip to the capital and | want all of you here in the capital city to helpredeem them." The young ladies present almost instinctively sat up straight at these words. The incident at the research institute a few days ago had already spread throughout the capital. Miss Lillian was here for Robert, who dared use Sacred Pearl and kill Miss Turner.
All eyes turned instinctively to Selena. She smiled, showing no signs of anger or coldness, even managing to joke a little. "To use the most precious treasures of the central city to redeem a spy... Miss Turner's actions as governor are truly eye-opening." Lillian paid no attention to Selena's mockery and simply replied, "Miss Turner is serious." With that, Lillian clapped her hands and Bianca appeared by her side. Shortly after, three people walked in with trays in their hands. Each tray held a box - one red, one white and one black.
The boxes were made of an unknown material that shone brilliantly under the light. The scent emanating from them was also quite alluring.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBianca placed the boxes on the table at the center of the hall and looked up at all the young ladies present with an air of superiority. "These are three treasures gifted by Miss Lillian to our capital city - each priceless and rare beyond measure." As everyone curiously examined these three items, Bianca turned her gaze towards Selena with a sly smile on her face. "The central city is rich beyond compare; it possesses these three treasures: The Crown Pearl, Bodhi Bone and Hell Flower." "The central city has offered these three treasures in exchange for Mr Hall," she continued.
Selena raised an eyebrow; so Lillian had indeed brought those three items along.
Although Selena didn't pay much attention to such things anymore since she was now penniless without any backing from either Anderson or Turner family members - when it cdown to it - she knew full well how valuable those items were.
Ordinary treasure could be fought over but not these particular ones; they were worth more than what she currently possessed combined! "It's not about the money, it's that you can't even buy it." The Turner family was willing to invest in her, but Selena wasn't too keen on letting them drain their resources just for the sake of winning against Lillian over Robert.
The outcof her match with Lillian had never been about material possessions.
Selena was ready to move on and make other plans when Winnie suddenly stood up. "Miss Lillian's three treasures may be impressive, but when it comes to valuable items, nothing beats those found in the capital.” "I'm no expert myself and would love to see how the treasures from Central City compare to those found in the capital. Who do you think will cout on top?" MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
