Chapter 1463 I Have a Good Prey Now
Emilio chuckled, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"She's not food, kids. Behave and don't cause any trouble here."
The kids nodded and quickly scattered.
Emilio crossed his arms, staring at the unconscious Selena.
After a moment, he extended a finger to her nose, then left the room.
Outside, the woman who had just been buried in the dirt was now sitting on the ground, clutching her hair.
"Emilio, how many times has this happened? How many?"
"Ms. Blake, you need to hide. She's very powerful."
"I know, I listen to you. So, can you not hit me tonight? Can you not torture me?"
Emilio covered his mouth and laughed, his cold demeanor taking on a seductive quality.
"Alright then. Your acting gets better every day; I can hardly tell what's real anymore."
Ophelia immediately knelt on the ground, frantically bowing her head.
"I'm not good; you're the best."
Emilio laughed again, "Get up, Ophelia. I have a new prey now, so I won't be hitting you for a while."
"Thank you, Emilio," she said, her voice trembling. "Thank you, Emilio."
Ophelia's tone was numb, hard to imagine what she had gone through to become like this.
Emilio touched the tattoo on the back of his neck, a smile curling his lips.
Seeing his smile, Ophelia shuddered and suddenly hugged herself, retreating.
She murmured, "Octavia, I'm sorry, Octavia."
"Ms. Blake, stop going crazy. Find a place to hide."
Hearing this, Ophelia quickly held her head and ran off.
Emilio took a deep breath, rubbing his temples.
The group of kids stood around, watching intently, as if Selena was a delicious meal.
They were waiting for Emilio's command, ready to tear Selena apart at any moment.
Emilio's voice was gentle, "Go rest, everyone."
The kids became very obedient in front of him, nodding sweetly.
Selena was completely unaware of this bizarre situation.
When she woke up the next day, she felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Emilio brought a thermometer and took her temperature.
"Selena, you have a fever."
Selena also felt feverish, shaking her head. "Did the Warner family contact us?"
"Yes, the workers are still building the small courtyard. This morning, someone gave me a land transfer document. All the land around here is mine now."
Selena sighed in relief, patting his shoulder, "That's good."
"Selena, do you want to go to the central island? With Valencia's power, if you negotiate with him, he could send you there."
Of course, Selena wanted to go. She needed to find Raymond as soon as possible.
She had Emilio buy a phone, one for each of them.
Then she took some fever medicine safe for pregnant women and went to negotiate with Valencia.
"Mr. Warner, I won't misuse my shares, but you must help me find someone."
The Warner family was a top family on the outer islands, with their own network of information among the wealthy.
Valencia accepted the proposal, having his people search the outer islands and posting an important message on the Warner family's official website—Penny was to become the new CEO.
Anyone following the Warner family would want to know who Penny was.
Selena hadn't used that name in a long time. She wasn't sure how deeply BK's influence reached here, so it was better to be cautious.
If Raymond was on the outer islands, he would understand what Penny meant.
At that moment, she was sitting in the Warner family mansion, while Ursa knelt outside the hall, as per Valencia's orders. Selena had to personally forgive her.
Ursa felt nothing but resentment, her fists clenched tightly.
Selena sat inside, sipping tea, with Valencia accompanying her.
"Ms. Fair, my people have been searching all day, but there's no sign of the person you mentioned."
"Mr. Warner, I'll wait one more day. If there's still no news, please send me to the central island."
Valencia nodded, sighing slightly. "Ms. Fair, I'm cooperating with you because I don't want to see the Warner family fall. Your sharpness can be both a blessing and a curse. Take care."
His words raised Selena's opinion of him.
But she only smiled lightly, "I don't trouble others unless they trouble me."
Valencia said no more, simply having someone escort her out.
As the car drove away, Selena couldn't shake the feeling she was being followed.
She glanced in the rearview mirror but saw nothing behind her.
