Chapter 1168 The Origin of the Engagement

"Oscar!"

"Commander!"

The people from Zone Six rushed over in a frenzy.

Sidney tightly held Oscar's shoulder, his eyes reddening, "You brat... You actually came back!"

Oscar looked at his former comrades and revealed a faint smile on his overly pale face.

As Patrick led Selena over, the others moved aside without a word.

Patrick suppressed his trembling and respectfully called out, "Father."

Oscar's gaze fell on Patrick's face and stared at him for a while before turning to Selena.

Selena met his gaze and resisted the urge to look away. "Uncle."

Oscar stared at her for a moment, his face emotionless as he softly said, "Patrick, Selena, come and push me over."

Principal Marshall let go of her hand, and Patrick walked over, pushing Oscar in the direction of the main seat.

Selena stared at Oscar's back and unconsciously clenched her fingers.

Suddenly, a hand wrapped around her waist.

Selena looked up and saw Osvaldo standing beside her, but she didn't know when he had arrived.

Osvaldo held her tightly, his exquisite features revealing a sinister air, but his tone was gentle, "Selena, don't be afraid."

Selena was stunned.

Osvaldo's gaze was deep, as if he could see into the depths of her soul. His slender and fair fingers gently brushed over her eyes. "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

Selena looked at his handsome and delicate face, her eyes filled with affection.

Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed.

She smiled at Osvaldo and whispered, "I believe you."

Osvaldo's sinister gaze suddenly brightened.

He stared at her face closely, as if he couldn't get enough of looking at her.

Selena said with a smile, "Wait for me."

Then she turned around and walked towards Patrick.

Until this moment, the people in the hall came back to their senses.

Apart from the Turner family's genuine joy and excitement, the faces of the other aristocratic families looked grim.

Lady Lauren looked at Oscar, who had suddenly appeared, and thought of what Benjamin had said earlier. Her eyes were full of suspicion. "Benjamin, is it you..."

Benjamin knew what she wanted to ask and explained in a flat tone, "When I pulled him out of the pile of corpses back then, he was on the brink of death."

"Therefore, as soon as Alfie was born, Nicholas set a lifelong rule that he could never marry."

"Mrs. Soo came to the Turner family to seek comfort from her sister. My wife, who had a kind heart, couldn't bear to see her young nephew suffer a lifetime of loneliness, so she pleaded with her father to arrange for him to marry one of the Turner family's daughters."

"My father saw how cute and naturally intelligent Alfie was, and felt empathy for him, so he agreed that if the Turner family had a daughter, the two children could be raised together."

"But at the time, the agreement was that if the Turner family's daughter was willing, the engagement would be valid, and if she was unwilling, the Soo family had no right to force her."

There was an uproar among the crowd.

Disbelieving eyes turned to Nicholas and Mrs. Soo.

Nicholas' hand holding the cane trembled, his face covered in wrinkles, looking so gloomy that water could almost drip from it.

Mrs. Soo's face was pale, and she kept her head down, too afraid to look at her shocked children beside her.

Lady Lauren sneered, "Zofia, you really have no shame, only more shameless!"

Alfie suddenly closed his eyes, and the cinnabar red mark between his eyebrows looked even more sinister.

The hall fell into silence for a moment.

No one expected that the origin of the engagement between the Turner family and the Soo family would turn out to be like this.

Even more unexpected was that Nicholas would sacrifice his grandson's happiness for a baseless superstition.
