Chapter 1635 - Gift of the Ages
The lid of the box was lifted, and everyone's gaze followed instinctively. In the next second, they all
exclaimed in unison and took a step back in shock.
Selena saw what was inside the box, and her heart trembled violently. In an instant, her mind was filled
with excitement.
Lillian's gaze suddenly became fixed, and the smile on her face disappeared.
Inside the ordinary-looking box lay a pure black silk lining with two items placed quietly on top.
When everyone saw what those two things were like, their eyes became hot and shocked.
On the left side was a crystal-clear white scepter with a slender body that shone brilliantly. The top of it
had an exquisitely carved thorn bird that looked lifelike as if it would fly out at any moment. At its center
lay a smooth and dazzling pearl that shone brightly from every angle. At first glance, it looked like it
could conquer everything around it.
Everyone present knew how valuable this scepter was at first sight – It is one of those rare treasures
that only appear once every thousand years!
All who laid eyes on this scepter couldn't help but feel shaken to their core as they gasped for air in
amazement.
They thought this gift couldn't get any better until their gaze fell upon something else...
In an instant, all breathing sounds in the hall vanished when everyone's attention focused on
something to their right - They lost all words at once!
It was... a crown!
An exquisite crown designed specifically for women! Its simple yet elegant design made entirely from
pure white material shone brilliantly under light; encrusted along its body were sparkling rainbow-
colored gems while its centerpiece red gemstone appeared more anciently magnificent than Lillian's
own red gemstone! With just one look at it up close you could see how radiant it truly is!
Everyone stared blankly at this beautiful crown; holding their breaths as if time stood still before them.
The lobby was silent as a tomb.
After what seemed like an eternity, Bianca suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud, staring in Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
horror and disbelief at the scepter and crown in the box. She muttered to herself, "This can't be... it's
impossible..."
The sudden noise finally snapped the other heiresses out of their extreme shock. They stared fixedly at
the two objects, their eyes filled with intense desire and envy. Their faces were pale and their
expressions were utterly lost.
Several of them couldn't hold back their tears and cried on the spot.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, perhaps they wouldn't have been so heartbroken.
But seeing this scene firsthand made everyone unable to control the bitterness and jealousy in their
hearts.
Such a gift... truly breathtaking!
The Ruby of Central City was indeed impressive, but that Holy English Emperor had already become a
thing of the past. Selena... she was still alive and flourishing!
Which is more impressive: an empress who has passed away or one who is still alive?
Osvaldo told Lillian boldly that he would bring Selena back to her rightful place as empress - he would
make her the only empress!
Lillian looked at that crown slowly before clenching her fingers tightly together.
Selena lowered her head, gazing intently at those two items while sparkling with some kind of crystal-
like luster within her eyes - symbols representing queenly authority: The scepter representing power;
The crown signifying royalty itself...
These two things couldn't have been prepared in a short amount of time.
She suddenly realized that those long and powerful hands had been carefully preparing gifts for her a
long time ago, waiting patiently for the right moment to gently and eagerly present them to her.
That meant that Osvaldo had known her true identity long, long before.
But there was no fear or hesitation in him.
He still silently waited in place, waiting for her to come to him and say, "My name is Selena. I'm from
the downtown area."
Selena suddenly closed her eyes and suppressed the warmth in her eyes.
After a moment, she finally regained control of herself and turned to Lillian with a stern expression.
"You lost!"
Lillian looked up at the woman standing on the flower platform with cold eyes fixed on her.
She suddenly saw the woman who used to sit on the throne with pale skin and black eyes.
Despite having such a weak body, she possessed an incredibly strong spirit.
During her thirteen-year reign, she ensured that people lived happily under the Union Empire's rule
while also keeping their country safe. The world was peaceful during this golden age of hers as well.
She was truly an enlightened ruler!
However... she wasn't someone Lillian wanted to follow!
Lillian composed herself again after laughing lightly. "I won't admit defeat nor will I ever lose."
"Miss Turner, we'll meet again soon."
After Lillian finished speaking, she nodded to the many young ladies present and walked away with
elegant steps.
Bianca watched as Lillian left and then, after a moment, remembered the bet she had made with
Selena. She looked at Selena fearfully and quickly got up to follow her.
After Lillian left, Selena looked at the many young ladies present and said, "Today was perfect. Thank
you all." Then she also walked towards the door.
Leia picked up the gifts on the table and frowned as she looked at Alfie's and Christ's gifts. She wasn't
sure if she should return them after using them or not.
After what happened with Soo's family, Selena hadn't seen Christ or Alfie again. Leia wasn't sure what
Selena thought of those two men right now either.
Winnie watched as Selena left with mixed emotions. Seeing that Leia didn't seem to want to take those
two things back, Winnie spoke up: "My brother's gifts will never be taken back once given out. Miss
Turner accepted them when they were offered."
Alisha laughed and said: "You go back with Miss Turner first; later I'll send someone to deliver these
two gifts to The Turner family."
Alisha was James' sister from Osvaldo's faction. When Leia heard Alisha's words, she took Osvaldo's
gift and went after Selena.
Selena got into her car and waited for a moment before asking when Leia got in: "Where is Osvaldo
now?"
Leia knew that at this time Selena must want to see Osvaldo; smilingly replied: "The Young Master is
working outside right now; does Madam want me to find him?"
Selena rarely disturbed Osvaldo when he was busy working - no or rather never did so - but this time...
She remained silent for a few seconds before smilingly saying: "Okay, let's go find him."
Leia burst out laughing and stepped on the gas pedal. "Yes, ma'am!" she replied.
Forty minutes later, the car pulled up in front of a towering building.
Selena got out of the car and looked up at the skyscraper, finally getting a clear understanding of
Osvaldo's work environment.
As soon as she entered the building, all eyes were on her - no one had ever seen their boss's wife
before. After a momentary shock, they quickly regained their composure...
