Chapter 698: Chapter 698: Sympathy_1

"You didn’t cede control of the Leo Family’s business to get King’s phone call, did you?"

Selena’s face turned pale: "I had no choice, Grandfather’s condition was terrible, you were the only one who could save him."

"Fine! I’ll treat your grandfather first, we can talk about the rest later."

Yan Ling used acupuncture and bloodletting to remove the clotting in the old man’s heart.

The old man soon regained consciousness.

However, due to his age, even though there was no danger to his life, his body was very weak, and speaking was a struggle."

"Old man, I know you have a lot to say right now, but for the sake of your health, let’s keep it short. What are your thoughts on Selena’s proposed marriage to Barrett?"

"Disagree!" The old man immediately responded.

Yan Ling turned to Selena, wanting to know the involved party’s thoughts.

Selena looked unsure, her stance clearly wasn’t as firm on the matter.

"Could it be that Selena really wants to marry Barrett?"

However, from Barrett’s previous conversation with the Underground Emperor, it should be clear that Barrett was attracted to men.

If Selena married such a man, she’d be committing to a loveless life!

As her friend, should she warn Selena or not?

She couldn’t just stand by and watch her friend jump into the fire pit, could she?

"I haven’t decided yet." Selena finally uttered these words after a long hesitation.

Selena always knew in her heart that she loved Wesley and would not marry any other man.

But the current situation left her unsure of what to do.

Wesley had already made a sacrifice for her and the Leo Family. If she bothered Wesley about the Underground Emperor again, she didn’t think she could face Wesley for the rest of her life.

Yan Ling could see Selena’s struggle and knew she didn’t want to marry Barrett.

Given this, she couldn’t just watch Selena leap into the fire pit.

"Selena, if you are unwilling, just boldly say it. You don’t need to consider that much."

Upon hearing those words, Selena turned to Wesley, "I’m sorry, I can’t!"

"You can! Just as long as you don’t want to, I can help you!"

Yan Ling felt great sympathy for Selena.

Given her relationship with the Underground Emperor, if she refused, the Emperor wouldn’t say anything.

"Selena, your marriage should be in your own hands, it has nothing to do with the family or your responsibilities. Understand?"

Selena looked up at Yan Ling, her heart overwhelmingly touched.

Her heart, which was already deeply entangled, only sunk deeper because of this unfaltering support.

It had even gotten to a point where it might be inescapable.

While Yan Ling and Selena were talking, King arrived at the door of the room, led by a manor maid.

When he saw Selena’s lovestruck expression,

He clenched the Scepter tightly in his hand.

Was he already playing the field just after leaving him?

He was fortunate to have arrived, for otherwise, he wouldn’t have caught this suggestive interaction.

The man’s eyes darkened as he knocked the Scepter against the doorframe.

The crisp sound attracted everyone’s attention in the room.

Yan Ling saw King appear, her eyes full of surprise.

Hadn’t he left already?

Or did he come because he was worried about her?

As for why King was here,

We need to go back to when he returned home with Luo Qi.

"King, you can’t possibly be in love with this Wesley character, could you?"

Luo Qi’s question was blunt. Anyone else would either deny it or admit it.

But King was wary of Luo Qi, how could he let Luo Qi find his weakness?

Unphased, he responded: "If you think so, I can’t help it. But, you do remind me, he is quite crafty. What if he uses this chance to escape? Wouldn’t I lose a fun pet to toy with? Turn around, to the Leo Manor!"

And so, they really ended up at the Leo Manor!
