Be spoiled after rebirth novel Chapter 1583

Chapter 1583 Liar

"Selena daring to do this can only mean that she has absolute certainty to thwart your assassination plan."

Robert's lip curled, about to speak, but the woman's voice interrupted him, unhurried and steady, "Robert, I know what you're thinking, but remember, your task is to buy time."

"Mr. Soo refuses to return to the Empire because of Selena. For me, this is a rare opportunity. I need such a chance to stabilize the situation."

"Now listen, your next task, regardless of the success of the assassination plan, you cannot die before I go to the capital."

"Even if you fail, I will rescue you from Selena."

Robert suddenly smiled, "Even at any cost?"

"Yes," the woman's voice exuded absolute confidence and dominance, "I need you to witness, step by step, the glory and honor of the Empire achieved with me."

A glint appeared in Robert's eyes. "Miss Lillian, you are the most suitable person for that position."

Compared to the current Queen who took a day off for the sake of "beauty," the woman on the other side, who could discard all emotions for power, was more suitable for that position.

Lillian chuckled, "Whether it's Selena or Stanley, their biggest weakness will always be emotions."

If Selena didn't value emotions, she wouldn't have died on the battlefield. If Stanley didn't value emotions, she wouldn't have stubbornly stayed in the capital, giving Lillian an opportunity.

Now, there was another person...

Emotions were indeed the most weakening factor.

However, she would never let such weakness threaten her. She only needed two things: power and ambition.

Lillian smiled, her voice still calm and gentle, "Furthermore, ensure she returns safely, just like you."

The "she" referred to could absolutely not be Beatrice.

"Yes, Miss Lillian."

The person on the other end of the call hung up.

Robert stood in the darkness, looking at the hung-up phone, recalling Lillian's words.

"For the sake of a man, 'Her Majesty' even set aside official matters. In Robert's eyes, such behavior had already lost the principles of being a sovereign."

But at the same time, he envied that man.

Because the woman he liked would never waste even a second for him.

...

In the small villa, after dinner, Osvaldo took Selena for a walk in the garden. Due to the rain, Selena wore Osvaldo's trench coat, while Osvaldo held an umbrella, shielding her from any drops.

Walking arm in arm, Selena whispered, "This is the first time I've been so bold..."

But she had no regrets. On the contrary, she felt a bit delighted.

It turned out that being delayed by beauty was such a wonderful thing.

Selena rarely daydreamed, especially when she was by his side. Probably out of a sense of compensation, her thoughts were always focused entirely on him.

For the first time, she suddenly ran off to think about something else while talking to him. And judging from her expression, she was probably thinking about a certain person.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Osvaldo's eyes. He raised his hand and gently touched Selena's face, asking tenderly, "What is Selena thinking about?"

Selena coughed nervously. "I'm thinking about a certain... arch-enemy."

Osvaldo raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"

Holding Osvaldo's arm, Selena looked up at him and asked, "Osvaldo, if someone lied to you when you were a child, and you met her when you grew up, would you be angry?"

Osvaldo recalled the past when he was swindled by a certain little scammer, fell silent for a moment, and said, "It depends on what she lied about."

If Aarav hadn't helped him win back his wife, and considering the relationship between Selena and that certain person, Osvaldo thought he would definitely not take revenge but might play a trick on her.

After all, back then, he was like a fool, holding a bunch of flowers every day, waiting for that little scammer to listen to his confession for a whole half month, but never hearing a true word from her!

Selena's eyes glanced around. "... What if she lied about everything? Just... never said a truthful word..."

Osvaldo: "..."

That situation would be a bit serious.

Selena blushed and buried her face in his arms, saying softly, "It wasn't intentional..."
