Chapter 1696 - The Truth
At first, he thought that the couple didn't care about their daughter.
But later on, it seemed like there was more to it than that.
This man might have deliberately kept Selena in Beijing.
The reason could be related to the Turner family.
Hanley gestured across the table and said, "Sit."
Osvaldo smiled without expression and calmly sat down opposite him.
This person had opened his doors wide to welchim in. He must have already decided to tell him everything.
Hanley glanced at Osvaldo and said, "You should thank the Turner family."
Osvaldo's eyes grew cold, with a sharp edge of hostility flashing through them.
That sentence revealed too much information. No one knew Selena's past with the Turner family better than Osvaldo did. She
helped them because her Uncle David had caused harm to their entire family out of guilt and responsibility. Strictly speaking, it had
nothing to do with Selena herself. But Hanley said that he should thank the Turner family anyway. However, he only cared about
Selena.
It means that Selena owed the Turner family something...
In a flash of inspiration, Osvaldo's mind raced.
Even his breath was thrown off balance for a moment.
Hanley's voice was calm. "Do you know why she forgot about you back then?"
Osvaldo slowly lowered his eyelids.
After a long pause, he spoke in a cold and mournful tone. "... She couldn't make it when she was five years old?"
He should have thought of this earlier.
When Selena was taken away from his arms by someone else, there wasn't much life left in her.
Even with modern medicine being advanced, such fragile little people...
And this man standing at the pinnacle of power wouldn't just watch his only daughter die.
So everything that followed beceasy to guess.
There was something extra in Hanley's indifferent expression. "When she was sent back to the Wang family back then, there wasn't
much life left in her."
"And coincidentally, at that time, a man named Callum cto the Wang family with another little girl who also didn't have much
vitality."
Osvaldo shook rarely and unexpectedly not for truth.
But it wasn't for revenge, it was for the man named Callum.
Once a dragon slayer, the warrior had becthe very dragon he despised under the harsh winds of time.
"Callum brought his daughter to King's Court," Osvaldo lifted his eyes and stared at the person across from him. "He used 'God's
Light' to save two children. Since then, Selena hasn't been herself."
Hanley looked at the young man across from him. "As powerful as 'God's Light' is, it can't exchange two people's souls without
preparation."
And more than a decade later, when Aarav realized that his twin sister was in danger, he somehow managed to switch their
misplaced souls back through thousands of miles and space.
A wave of emotion surged in Osvaldo's dark eyes when Selena left him years ago and becsomeone else. And now that she
had becherself again after all these years, she met him once more.
There seemed to be an invisible thread connecting them together through tand distance that brought Selena back into his life
after so many years.
And Hanley agreed to let Selena stay in King's Court and help The Turner Family regain everything they lost because she owed
Callum her life - even though it was also for saving her own daughter.
After a long silence, Osvaldo suddenly asked: "What happened with Selena's memory?"
Why did both Selenas have amnesia during their childhood?
Selena lost all memories about her brother - even forgetting about Osvaldo too.
Selena of the Turner family had forgotten everything about her encounter with the Riddle family, including Christ. There were
certainly lingering effects from "the light of God," but Osvaldo didn't believe that this man had anything to do with Callum's family.
It was likely that Selena had forgotten everything about the Riddle family because something terrible happened to her there when
she was young. She was severely injured and almost died.
Callum and Nevaeh chose to make their daughter forget those dark memories. But what about Selena's memories?
There was a dangerous glint in Hanley's deep eyes as he said, "If you really care for that girl, don't investigate anything about that
person."
Osvaldo sneered, "You don't care about your own son and yet you're trying to stop your daughter from caring? You two are quite
interesting!"
The man across from him didn't even flinch at Osvaldo's mockery.
Osvaldo chuckled coldly, "When she was five years old, she ran out alone looking for her brother and almost lost her life. You
erased all of her memories related to Aarav so it wouldn't happen again..."
Including him!
Hanley didn't deny it.
Osvaldo sneered again, "Your Majesty seems to have forgotten that Aarav is not only your son but also Selena's brother."
"Selena has the right to know everything about her own brother."
Even if Aarav's existence would hurt Selena, she still wanted to see him.
Because, he was born with her and for her, his brother who gave up everything and worked tirelessly.
This was Osvaldo's choice.
Hanley did not stop him nor did he agree.
In this world, there are always things that will make young people with hot blood make different choices from their elders who have
experienced many things.
As for the final outcof who wins or loses, it depends on each person's ability.
"One last question," Osvaldo's eyes were tinged with a hint of anger. "Have you had any involvement in my development within
the league over these years?"
Hanley looked at the young man across from him and suddenly smiled. "How do you wantto answer that?"
Osvaldo's gaze turned cold as he stood up and left.
As expected, experience is still important in life.
At twelve years old, Osvaldo was kicked out of his own hby his father. At twenty years old, he becthe dark emperor of the
empire.
He only took eight short years to suppress all rebellious voices and ascend to that position.
During this time, he faced countless dangers such as assassination attempts which were bloody and cruel beyond measure but
never encountered any oppression from Riddle Group Empire
Even if Riddle Group Empire does not intervene in conflicts within the dark zone anymore they would never allow others to sleep
soundly while lying beside them?
The empire may not interfere but they definitely pay attention.
Selena had said just yesterday that she had grown up being "bullied" by him. He had been opposing her from afar for so many
years, yet he never retaliated against Selena in any way. It was clear that Hanley was involved in this somehow.
