Be spoiled after rebirth novel Chapter 1680

Chapter 1680: White Crow Dish.

Selena was surprised to hear the news. After all these years, she thought he had forgotten about her and was prepared for rejection. But to her surprise, he agreed so easily.

Feeling a sense of happiness she couldn't quite explain, Selena suddenly remembered that he was not only her childhood savior but also someone who had been involved in some shady business.

If Osvaldo found out about this "past," he might think differently of her. After all, it was Selena who asked him to confess his feelings.

Selena shuddered at the thought and coughed nervously before telling Leia about their plan to declare bankruptcy and asking Ace of Hearts for two people that night.

Ace of Hearts hesitated before giving a warning: "Why don't you ask your husband if he's going out tonight?"

Their White Crow family wasn't known for their emotional intelligence or reliability. If they broke another promise or made another mistake, Selena feared there would be nothing left of her by the end of the night...

Unaware of Ace's hidden meaning behind his words, Selena replied innocently: "My husband won't be happy if I go out to meet a stranger."

"I'll just ask him a few questions and come back right away. Don't let him find out," she added hastily.

Ace didn't say anything more...

However, Osvaldo also kept his identity hidden from Selena.

In a way, they were both equally matched.

This was the perfect opportunity to lay everything out on the table.

Ace of Hearts didn't try to persuade her, "Okay, I'll send someone to take you to the Biaxian Winery tonight."

That was Osvaldo's territory.

There was no need for Selena to worry about any danger inside.

After hanging up the phone, Selena replayed that blurry memory in her mind and confirmed that he was trustworthy. She turned around and went back into the lobby.

She had been busy in her study all morning when she received a call from Hattie. Hattie told her that Daphne had been arrested and Leon had started gathering evidence against Maddox Daphne. Once they had enough evidence, they would formally bring Maddox and Daphne before a court of law.

Selena pondered for a moment after hearing Hattie's words. "No one came to save Daphne?"

If Daphne were just an ordinary person, how could she have so easily replaced The Riddle family's mistress and daughter?

Hattie remained silent for several seconds before deciding to tell Selena the truth. "Yes, there was someone who almost got Daphne out of there but then suddenly this beautiful lady showed up... she seemed like your... mother..."

Hattie thought it was simple enough; that woman clearly came specifically to help Selena get revenge.

Selena knew her mother cared about her and would be happy.

When Selena heard Hattie's words, she froze.

Her mother went to Beijing?

Selena squinted slightly, "What did that aunt say to Daphne?"

Hattie repeated everything that happened last night in detail. Of course, after Leon's instructions, she only mentioned things related to the Riddle family and didn't mention anything about the Turner family.

After listening quietly for a long time, Selena finally said, "Thank you Hattie. I understand. Since Daphne has lost her backing now, you can investigate without worry."

"Okay Selena."

Selena hung up the phone and looked at the clock on the wall. It was 11am and Osvaldo had not yet woken up.

If they knew that Madam Samantha's surname was Samantha when they were in the capital city together then Daphne would have skinned them alive!

Madam Samantha's maid had watched Selena grow up, and she respected, feared, and loved the only princess of the empire. When Selena questioned her about Madam Samantha's involvement with the Cummings family, the maid felt a chill run down her spine. "Little Princess, Madam is your mother; she would never harm you," she said.

"She didn't tell you about your maternal grandparents for your own good," added the maid.

Selena asked in a casual tone, "Are the Cummings family good to my mother?"

The maid hesitated before replying cautiously, "Yes. If they weren't good to Madam Samantha, not even a monarch would let them off easily."

Selena was taken aback by this response. She realized that if the Cummings family were bad to her mother or mistreated her in any way, then even if her mother forgave them for it - which was unlikely - her father certainly wouldn't.

She was overthinking things again.

"If they are good to my mother," Selena continued with a furrowed brow. "Then why have I never met my grandparents? Does this mean that they don't like me as their granddaughter?"

The maid broke out in cold sweat at this question; there was no right answer to such an inquiry.

After waiting for a moment with one hand propping up her forehead and realizing that there wasn't going to be an explanation forthcoming from the servant girl anytime soon; Selena waved dismissively and said: "It's alright; you may go now."

She didn't want anyone around who couldn't provide answers anyway – especially someone who might make things worse by saying something wrong or inappropriate.

As far as people went though – those close to Madam Samantha were still given respect from Selena regardless of how much information they could provide on certain subjects…

Selena sat on a stone bench made of warm jade, picking up a white jade chess piece from the table with a thoughtful expression.

She had always wanted to understand why her mother had been so distant with her. Despite caring for and loving Selena deeply, she also resisted getting too close to her.
