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.

She thought for a moment before leaving the study and telling Leia,"I'm going out for a while. I'll be

back this afternoon. If young master wakes up, please give me a call."

Leia felt extremely sorry for Selena because of Osvaldo's impending affair so naturally she agreed with

whatever her mistress said.

She nodded,"Okay, Madam."

Selena left and drove to Wangting.

As soon as she entered, Selena headed straight for Madam Samantha's residence.

The maid guarding the small building where Madam Samantha lived was surprised to see Selena.

"Little Princess?" she asked.

Normally, when Selena came to see Madam Samantha, she would send someone ahead of time to

announce her arrival. It had been this way for over a decade.

Selena looked into the maid's eyes and asked, "Has my mother returned?"

The maid hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Madam has already returned and is resting now."

Selena didn't want to disturb her mother and found a chair to sit on instead. She then asked the maid,

"Did my mother go to the capital last night?"

Although her tone was questioning, it was clear that she believed her mother had gone there.

The maid looked at Selena with a bitter smile. "Little Princess, please don't make things difficult for

me..."

Every one of Madam Samantha's maids had been carefully chosen and had been with her for many

years. They knew many things about their mistress that Selena did not know.

"I don't mean anything else," said Selena in a calm voice. "I just want to know what exactly is going on

between my mother and the Cummings family."

"Why have I never heard about this matter concerning... my maternal family?"

Since childhood until now, Selena had never heard her mother mention anything about the Cummings

family before.

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…

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.
