Selena nervously pinched her ear as she talked on the phone.
She didn't dare let the young master know that the daughter of the Turner family had already been abducted by a man.
After hanging up, Selena continued to focus on her drawing.
...
In the capital, at the Turner family mansion.
Patrick placed his phone on the table and looked out the window at the garden, letting out a slight sigh.
The old butler stood beside him and asked, "Young master, Miss Selena...?"
Patrick asked coldly, "Has Mrs. Soo not left yet?"
"No," the old butler looked worried, "She has been waiting downstairs."
Patrick turned and went downstairs.
In the hall, Mrs. Soo was sitting on the sofa. When she heard footsteps, she looked up.
Patrick spoke indifferently, "Mrs. Soo, Selena will not marry into the Soo family. The engagement between our families is over."
Mrs. Soo's gentle expression turned cold in an instant.
She stood up from the sofa and said, "Patrick, you should know that if it weren't for my sister's sake, I wouldn't have come here alone."
Patrick sneered, "Then Mrs. Soo, you should also understand that from the moment the Soo family laid their hands on the Turner family, the sisterhood between you and my mother, and the friendship between our families, ceased to exist."
Mrs. Soo frowned, "The Soo family was at fault in the past, but at that time, even if the Soo family did not act, someone else would have."
"Their methods would have been even more ruthless than the Soo family's!"
Patrick's face grew colder, "So I have to thank you for not wiping out the Turner family completely?"
Mrs. Soo choked up.
The fact that Patrick was still alive and attending medical school was not because of the mercy of the Soo family's men, but because of the Anderson family's efforts.
Mrs. Soo knew that the Soo family was in the wrong in this matter, and there was no justification for it.
She softened her tone, "Let's not talk about the grudges between the Turner family and the Soo family... Alfie is your cousin. Can you bear to see him live a lonely life?"
Patrick's tone was icy, and he didn't back down, "Alfie's life should not be traded for Selena's happiness."
"If she marries Alfie, she will be happy," Mrs. Soo straightened her expression. "You know what kind of person Alfie is. He can only marry Selena in this lifetime, and he will treat her well no matter what."
"I can also guarantee that Selena will not suffer any grievances in the Soo family."
Patrick's tone grew even more indifferent, "Selena doesn't like him."
Everyone knows that Miss Turner and the young master of the Anderson family have fallen in love.
Mrs. Soo's expression turned somewhat ambiguous. "Patrick, Selena doesn't know about this. Don't tell me you don't know what kind of person the young master of the Anderson family is?"
"No girl would be able to accept such a cold and ruthless man. As her brother, how could you give your sister to such a man?"
Patrick's eyes showed a hint of mockery. "Lady Lauren married Benjamin. Mrs. Soo, can you honestly say that she's not happier than you?"
Mrs. Soo's face suddenly turned pale.
Lady Lauren's happiness was evident to the entire capital.
Benjamin doted on her to the extreme.
After dinner, Selena trained in the basement for a few hours. When she came out, it was already 10 o'clock at night. "Love in City" was scheduled for the prime time slot, and the reaction must have already come out at this time.
Selena was too lazy to see how the drama had been altered. She took a shower, leaned against the bed, and opened Weibo.
She saw four hot searches related to "Love in City," including the top one. Most of the comments praised the explosive plot and the atmosphere was well-rendered. After only two episodes, a large part of the audience expressed that they were already addicted to the show.
From the comments, this "Love in City" drama really had the potential to help Leah turn the tide.
Selena sneered. She was just about to put down her phone when Luke called her.
Selena answered the call.
Luke asked in a deep voice, "Lady Selena, have you watched 'Love in City'?"
Selena casually opened a book and said, "Based on the comments, it seems to be not bad."
Luke was speechless. "You're not even angry?"
If it were someone else, they would have been in tears at this point. This young lady was still in the mood to praise the other party for doing a good job.
Her mental resilience was truly impressive.
Selena blinked and asked, "My script was modified, but it still received so much praise. Shouldn't I be happy?"
This seemed to make sense, but he still felt that something was off.
Although Luke was not a screenwriter or an actor, he had supported "Breaking Ground" from the start. Seeing Leah steal the script and win big, even this calm CEO was a bit angry. Not to mention the actors who participated in "Breaking Ground."
They all gathered at Olympus Group now, looking at the characters in "Love in City" that were copied and modified, and feeling disgusted.
They were getting angry, but Selena, as the chief screenwriter and director, remained calm.
