Chapter 1690: Settling Accounts

Osvaldo looked at Selena's expectant eyes in silence. It was obvious that if he had met Selena herself

as a child instead of the milk bun, Aarav's identity would have been revealed long ago.

Aarav was Selena's brother, and they were most likely twins due to the high probability of genetic

inheritance in the Cummings family. This explained why Selena had suddenly started coughing up

blood before - it wasn't her who was injured, but Aarav.

Selena stared at Osvaldo without saying a word, hoping for an answer. After a moment of silence,

Osvaldo rubbed her hair and asked if she really wanted to know who he was.

Selena nodded firmly and said that she needed to know who he was. Her dark eyes lost their shine as

she spoke about how everyone had kept this secret from her and even erased parts of her memory.

Osvaldo knew exactly who "they" were - those responsible for hiding the truth from Selena all these

years. He promised not to keep any secrets from her anymore.

When Selena was five years old, she distinctly remembered having a brother. But when they met again

as adults, she claimed to be an only child with no siblings. It was clear that all her memories of Aarav

had been wiped clean.

Because he was also connected to Aarav's memories, his own memories were erased as well. As

Selena put it, being able to remember even the slightest bit about him was already difficult enough.

Osvaldo held Selena's hand tightly and said, "Let me go see someone tomorrow and then I'll tell you

everything, okay?" He needed to meet with the monarch himself for both Selena's sake and for

information about Aarav.

Selena felt a little disappointed but knew Osvaldo wouldn't lie to her. Plus now that she knew Osvaldo

was the same boy from her childhood memories, finding out more about her big brother would be

easier.

So even though she wasn't thrilled about it, Selena agreed by saying "Okay."

Osvaldo pinched her cheek and said,"After we settle this matter let's talk about something else!"

Selena replied with a blank expression on her face.

Osvaldo smiled slightly,"Do you know how long I waited back then?"

Selena still had no idea what he meant so remained silent.

Looking at her guilty expression Osvaldo spoke in an icy tone,"Do you know how close I came to dying

alone?"

Even though she didn't have this memory herself, Selena instinctively knew everything Osvaldo said

was true.

She was real, and almost caused the other person to lose their life. Otherwise, she wouldn't feel guilty

every time she thought of him subconsciously...

She weakly said, "Honey, I'm sorry. Don't be angry..."

Although she made a mistake, didn't she end up sacrificing herself in the end?

This is what they call digging a hole for oneself.

Osvaldo's gaze swept over her little spaghetti strap dress and his expression became dangerous.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Osvaldo spoke up, "Come in."

The man guarding outside walked in and saw his master holding his wife on the sofa with an

expression that almost split open his face.

He suddenly remembered that the voice of the girl he brought in earlier sounded like Osvaldo's phone

ringtone owner.

Although Osvaldo's men had seen Selena with their own eyes before, for nearly a year now, their

master's phone ringtone with that sweet and soft "honey" had left a deep impression on them.

Both sides wore masks to meet each other...

One couldn't help but say that this couple really knows how to play...

The man sighed inwardly, though his expression remained serious. As instructed, he displayed the

surveillance footage from downstairs on the large screen.

Then, he respectfully walked out, ensuring to close the door thoughtfully behind him.

Soon, Osvaldo saw the scene of Selena intimately holding hands with Ace of Hearts as they walked

into the hall.

Upon seeing this, Selena realized it was not good, but before she could explain herself, the screen

showed Ace of Hearts lowering his head and kissing her cheek. This image was reflected in Osvaldo's

eyes.

Osvaldo's eyes turned dark and ominous.

Selena trembled violently and finally realized that she had been set up by Opal.

"No, Osvaldo, listen to me--"

"I'm not listening!" The man coldly interrupted her words and forcefully stripped off her strapless dress

before making her lie down on the sofa.

Osvaldo leaned over her. "Selena, I think... we need to settle our accounts!"

Selena's back pressed tightly against his chest as she listened to his dangerous voice in fear.

She wanted to explain herself but just as she opened her mouth, he silenced her with a kiss. And from

then on she never had another chance to explain...

Downstairs,

Ace of Hearts glanced at his watch; it wasn't time yet which meant there was an 80% chance he hadn't

fooled anyone tonight. This also meant that White Crow wouldn't have a chance to come out tonight

either.

Ace of Hearts smiled and walked out of the dance floor towards the door outside.

He got into the sports car parked outside the gate, started it up and headed towards the outskirts of

town. Half an hour later, he stopped the car outside a villa.

The person who got out of the car looked completely different now. She was a stunningly beautiful

woman with fiery red hair that contrasted with her snow-white skin. Her fox-like eyes were slightly

narrowed at the corners, giving her a seductive look that could make anyone weak in their knees.

She stepped out of the car in high heels and walked towards the villa. As she entered through its doors,

she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Not far away from her was a tall and slender figure sitting at a stone table, looking down at some chess

pieces on it. Upon hearing footsteps approaching him, he raised his head to see who it was standing

outside.

With just one glance from him, Ace of Hearts froze for a moment before quickly regaining her

composure and putting on an alluring smile. "What brings you here so late tonight?" she asked

playfully.

Stanley placed down his white piece onto the table and chuckled softly upon hearing Ace's voice.

"Sorry about this sudden visit," he said apologetically.

Ace of Hearts covered her mouth as she laughed charmingly while walking over to Stanley's side. "Why

bother waiting under White Crow's tree when you can come see me instead? Am I not beautiful enough Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

for you?" she teased flirtatiously.

Stanley smiled gallantly as he complimented Ace's beauty without hesitation: "Of course you are!

You're easily one of most captivating women I've ever met."

Ace of Hearts continued smiling as she lifted Stanley's chin up gently with delicate fingers...
