“You have a family too, plus you were with Juniper at that time, but why did Hades still take you in?”
“Well…” Selena blinked, thinking she was perhaps an exception.
“Because that guy had his eyes on you right from the start. How cunning!” Pierre angrily stomped the ground with his feet.
Selena shook her head, feeling helpless with Pierre’s jealousy. That matter happened ages ago, but he still won’t forget it and move on. “I might have been an exception, but the Zephyr Organization is more than just a place for orphans. Instead, they tend to keep their eyes out for individuals with potential and strong hatred. I was with Juniper at that time, and that I had a strong will to survive. Because of that, they reckoned I was tougher than ordinary people and chose me.” Soon, she sighed and added, “If it hadn’t been for the Zephyr Organization, Juniper and I would have died on the streets long ago.”
As soon as Pierre heard that, he couldn’t help but feel sympathetic toward Selena. Thus, he decided to put a stop to that matter. “Alright, let’s talk about our business. You may be right, but I doubt Zephyr Organization would ever dare take in someone from an established family like the Murrays. So… does that mean they were not aware of Linda’s origin in the beginning?”
Pierre sat on the couch, finding the matter weirder the more he pondered about it. At that moment, Niall handed over Pierre’s phone to him. Since he was recently too busy capturing Linda, he entrusted his secretary with keeping his phone.
“President Fowler, Admiral Evan Moody has called you several times.”
“Grandpa?”
“He sounded urgent.”
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Admiral Evan Moody might be in his 80s, but his age didn’t seem to take a toll on him at all. Fearing the worst, Pierre quickly called back to find out what was going on. “Grandpa…”
In the meantime, Selena nervously looked at Pierre, whose furrowed eyebrows made her feel even more anxious. When Pierre hung up the call, she asked, “What’s the matter with your grandpa?”
Nevertheless, Pierre only took a deep breath and quietly fixed his gaze on Selena’s face in a fathomless manner.
“Hello, are you there? Say something!” Selena waved her hand in front of Pierre.
“I need a bit of time to digest the matter.” Pierre didn’t dare to speak up about the shocking matter.
At that moment, the maid came and told the couple that they had a visitor. “Sir, Madam, there is someone who calls himself Mr. Murray here. He wants to see you, Madam.”
