CHAPTER 857 NO NEXT TIME

Chapter 857 No Next Time

Christ gave a cold stare at Osvaldo's profile, not wanting to witness this heart-wrenching scene any

longer, and turned away.

Osvaldo kissed Selena for a long time before gradually releasing the hand that was holding the back of

her head, and instead wrapping his arm around her waist.

With a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, he looked like a gentle and lazy dragon. Although he had

no intention of hunting at the moment, he could swallow the person in his arms anytime he wanted.

If it weren't for the support of the man's long arm, Selena would have collapsed by now.

She suppressed the feeling of weakness in her body and looked at the camera, her cheeks turning red.

She tried her best to maintain a polite smile.

Taking advantage of the stunned moment of the crowd, the Cooke sisters had already rushed to the

front.

Candy had been in a hurry to find Selena and hadn't even noticed Osvaldo by her side. When she ran

closer and met the man's bottomless dark eyes, she was startled and took a step back, apologizing

repeatedly.

As she apologized, she grabbed Nova who was standing next to her. But Nova was completely

oblivious to the danger and directly hugged Selena.

Candy's face was full of horror.

"Nova, you idiot!"

Nova hugged Selena's neck and said anxiously, "Selena, don't go. We at Capital University welcome

you. Many students like you, but you seem difficult to approach, so they can only like you secretly..."

As the enthusiastic girl hugged her, Selena felt uncomfortable and tilted her head slightly. She coughed

and was about to speak, when suddenly a hand reached out and grabbed Nova by the collar, throwing

her far away.

Selena's expression froze.

Osvaldo's long fingers reached into Selena's collar and, in full view of everyone, rubbed from the front

to the back as if wiping away something unclean.

Finally, he gently rearranged her clothes and hair and smiled, "Your dress is a bit messy."

Selena covered her face with both hands, her cheeks burning.

She felt that something was not quite right...

As she lifted her head to speak, she saw Osvaldo turn his head and stare at Nova.

Nova's eyes widened, looking completely bewildered. As soon as she met Osvaldo's gaze, she

seemed to see some kind of indescribable terrifying creature, and she hid behind Candy, her body

tensed and her hair standing on end.

"She has an injury on her hand."

Selena subconsciously looked down at the bandage wrapped around her palm, and her tense emotions

relaxed. So he was worried about her injury...

The man added in a flat tone, "There won't be a next time."

Selena's nerves tensed again. Before she could figure out the meaning of this sentence, Candy spoke

without taking a breath, "I understand, I promise there won't be a next time, my sister didn't mean it,

please don't hold it against her!"

Selena remained silent.

She looked at the Cooke sisters and comforted them, "It's just a minor injury, I'm fine, don't worry."

Candy hesitated and looked at Osvaldo, as if trying to read his thoughts. She nodded cautiously, "No,

it's just that my sister is clumsy and we're on a tight schedule. If she accidentally hurts you again, the

loss would be greater..."

Osvaldo silently averted his gaze.

Candy breathed a sigh of relief.

Selena laughed. Although she still had a vague feeling that something was not quite right, neither

Osvaldo nor the twins had any ill intentions towards her, so she didn't bother to delve deeper.

She looked at the little girl hiding behind her sister's back and said with a smile, "It's okay, I won't leave

Capital University."

Perhaps because Osvaldo ignored them, Candy's pressure suddenly decreased. She cautiously stuck

out her round head from behind Nova and, after making sure that the dangerous man had calmed

down, she was attracted by Selena's words. She smiled and pointed behind her, "Selena, look, I have

laid a foundation for you. You must do your best today!"

Selena looked over and saw countless hands reaching out from the crowd, all eager to greet her.

"Lady Selena, don't listen to those gossipy girls, Capital University welcomes your arrival!"

"Capital University is the number one institution in H Country, strength represents everything. If Hamish

approves of you, then you are the NO. 1 of our Capital University!!"

A boy was lifted up by the crowd, waving a glow stick in the air and shouting hoarsely, "Selena, come ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

on!! Win the championship! Capital University supports you!!"

As Selena looked at these lively and passionate faces, her previously calm emotions suddenly added a

rare feeling of boiling blood.

Selena took a deep breath and, under the dazzling media lights, raised her chin, smiled brightly, and

said firmly, "The championship will definitely be mine!" After speaking, amidst the excited cheers of

students from Capital University and Creephia University, she took Osvaldo's arm and walked towards

her battlefield tonight, wearing high heels.

Behind her, Winnie stood frozen, watching Selena being surrounded by stars and walking away. After a

moment of hesitation, she suddenly raised her hand and stared at the group of wealthy heirs behind

her.

The group trembled and lowered their heads in fear. Winnie had never felt so embarrassed before and

angrily questioned, "Whose idea was this?"

She hated Selena and wished she would disappear from Capital University, but as the daughter of a

prominent family, her pride would not allow her to resort to such despicable means. If this incident was

spread tonight, her perfect reputation as the number one lady in Capital would be ruined.

The girl closest to her spoke with some fear, "No one, we just misunderstood..."

They already disliked Selena and were even more jealous and resentful after she found the high-end

laboratory. When they learned that it was the laboratory that Callum left for Selena, they thought it was

only natural. And so they spread these negative rumors about Selena at Capital University.

Winnie laughed in anger, staring coldly at the girls present. "Do you really think I'm stupid and don't

know about the things you and Penelope have been doing behind the scenes?"

The group's faces changed instantly. Winnie was angry at being used by Penelope tonight. "Get out of

here!" she yelled, lifting her dress and walking towards the door.

The group panicked. Originally, they followed Winnie, thinking they could enter the VIP lounge and

have a chance to meet the powerful figures of the various prominent families. But now that Winnie had

left them behind and the tickets were already sold out, they didn't even have tickets to get in. Most

importantly, the news of tonight's incident would definitely spread, and if Principal Chow held them

responsible, they would be in trouble.
