Chapter 1669: "Where Did The Husband Come From When The Child Has Just Reached Adulthood?"
Chapter 1669: "Where did the husband come from when the child has just reached adulthood?"
"Could it be that Beatrice killed herself?" Robert asked in a cold tone. "Your Highness, if you cannot
provide evidence to prove your innocence in the murder of Miss Beatrice, then please forgive us for
being rude."
As Robert spoke, the guards standing by Lillian's side quickly raised their guns and aimed them at
Selena.
Stanley's eyes turned icy as he watched the scene unfold. He knew Selena wouldn't be defenseless.
But even so, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her in this situation.
No one spoke up for Selena. As an outsider with no value other than her face, she was naturally left to
fend for herself.
Selena looked at Lillian. To today's Lillian, Beatrice was a stain on her reputation. Using Beatrice to kill
her would have been an unexpected joy; failing that would still allow her to pin the blame of killing a
noble on Selena.
Even if she couldn't convict Selena of anything, she could use her as a tool to get rid of this "stain".
Her cousin was truly suited to be an unfeeling ruler.
In the midst of this cold silence, Selena raised her hand and patted little Gaia on the shoulder.
Little Gaia wore a mask over his face and looked down at everyone below him with cold eyes.
The people in the lobby were chilled to the bone by the small doll's sweep. Before they could recover,
little Gaia jumped off Selena's shoulder and ran to the electronic screen in front of the hall, tapping
away on the keyboard with her small white hands.
Soon after, two people appeared on the big screen. It was Selena and Beatrice. Selena stood by the
bed while Beatrice was opposite her, speaking about how Lillian used her to kill Selena... From NôvelDrama.Org.
Robert's face changed slightly when he saw this scene.
Lillian remained calm and only looked at little Gaia crawling back onto Selena's shoulder with a deep
gaze. Onscreen, Beatrice's hysterical voice came through clearly.
"Miss Turner, when you were in the capital, Lillian couldn't kill you because you were lucky! Now that
you're part of the royal court, Lillian won't tolerate your existence anymore. She'll spare no expense to
kill you!"
Everyone present heard these words clearly before witnessing Beatrice suddenly go crazy and charge
towards Selena with a knife.
Then everyone saw it clearly: Beatrice really killed herself...
Silence fell over everyone.
Selena walked down the stairs step by step in high heels. As she passed by Lillian she smiled but
spoke coldly: "Miss Lillian, I remember all three assassination attempts in the capital as well as today's
ambush; I will repay them doubly someday."
With that said, Selena gracefully walked towards the door.
She was very clear.
Leaving aside Lillian's position as governor, as the only candidate for female emperor, it is impossible
for the Riddle Group Empire to not consider how they will treat Lillian, an outsider with no blood ties.
Even if she were to openly admit that Lillian harmed her.
Everyone stared at the graceful and composed figure of the woman walking away, as if they were
seeing someone familiar from before...
In that moment, many people had a thought in their hearts.
If she were truly of imperial bloodline, how great would that be...
Stanley watched Selena step by step leaving with a layer of ice forming on his handsome face. It
wasn't until Selena had completely left the hall that Stanley turned to Lillian and said: "Miss Lillian,
Princess is just recognized by Her Majesty and Madam as their daughter. With your actions today,
where does this leave Her Majesty and Madam?!"
Lillian's tone was indifferent: "Mr. Soo worries too much. I naturally have utmost respect for Her Majesty
and Madam."
"It's just Miss White got emotional and spoke without thinking. The implication being that everything
today was done solely by Beatrice herself. And Beatrice is already dead."
Without any evidence of her death though even those two couldn't do anything to harm Lillian.
Stanley sneered coldly: "Miss Lillian makes sense but I wonder..." He glanced at Beatrice's body before
continuing: "How would your father and mother feel about Miss Beatrice's death?"
With that said Stanley turned around and left.
On a high platform not far away, a tall figure in pure white took in everything with their eyes. The man
watched his daughter gradually leave, and a hint of pride flashed through his deep eyes.
Horace stood beside him, watching Selena's slender figure with some reluctance. "Your Majesty, the
little princess has been spoiled since childhood. Has she ever suffered like this? Shouldn't you..."
The man gave a rare smile. "It is precisely because she has had such an easy life that it worries me
even more..."
But now it seemed that the experience in the capital city that year had helped his daughter grow up.
"Someday, both her mother and I will leave her behind before she leaves us. Before then, she must
learn to face this vast empire on her own."
Selena was undoubtedly lucky.
She was born into thousands of expectations and immediately possessed intelligence and wit beyond
others' reach.
At five years old, everyone willingly gave her all the best things they could offer when she ascended to
the throne.
Compared to those who were full of wounds and scars from life's struggles, this little girl was born with
everything already given to her on a silver platter.
And precisely because of this extreme favoritism towards her led to an overly smooth path for Selena;
as an emperor herself, she never learned how to be patient or endure hardships quietly.
Horace understood what was going through the man's mind but still couldn't help but feel sorry for
Selena...
"As for your fiancé," Horace began cautiously before being interrupted by the man suddenly saying:
"He's just become an adult; where did he get a fiancé?"
Horace fell silent...
"So you knew about his existence all along," Horace coughed. "Everyone thought he didn't know about
Osvaldo, but it's clear that he was intentionally ignoring him."
The young prince was naive and had been wandering around for a year with no one to care for him. It
was easy for a deceitful man to take advantage of him.
"I think the little prince likes him," Horace continued. "Your Majesty, should we consider meeting with
this man? Selena is like family to us and we can't just leave her out there alone."
The man gave a cold smile and was about to speak when someone approached them.
"Your Majesty, the Lady has left the palace," the person said respectfully.
Selena had left with little Gaia in her arms. She walked out of the palace gates and looked up at the
bright sun overhead.
She rubbed Gaia's head gently and whispered, "It's okay to let them be arrogant when you're at a
disadvantage, right little Gaia?"
