Chapter 916 Past Grudges


    Chapter 916 Past Grudges


    Lady Lauren was taken aback by Selena''s sharpness. She didn''t expect that such a small w could be


    noticed by Selena and remembered by her.


    Lady Lauren looked at the girl''s cold and beautiful face and sighed softly, "You don''t have to worry


    about Penelope. You are the girl that my son likes, and the Anderson family will unconditionally support


    you between you and her."


    Through the mist of tea, Selena lowered her eyshes and asked in a soft voice, "So, is Penelope


    really the blood of both the Anderson family and the Riddle family?"


    Lady Lauren nodded first, and then shook her head, her tone calm, "In terms of blood rtionship, she


    is the blood of the Anderson family, but she cannot be counted as a member of the Riddle family."


    "Penelope is David''s daughter, her mother''s name is Kiera, and Kiera is the true adopted daughter of


    the Riddle family. Penelope... is just riding on her mother''s coattails."


    After Lady Lauren finished speaking, she looked at Selena''s cold eyes and showed a hint of affection.


    "Actually, your mother was not happy when she was young, just like you. She was kidnapped at the


    age of five and wandered outside. She only returned to the Riddle family when she was fifteen and


    became famous in the fragrance industry."


    "And during those more than ten years, the Riddle family adopted Kiera, who looked simr to


    Nevaeh."


    "The Riddle family is big and wealthy, so they naturally don''t mind raising an adopted daughter with


    their biological daughter."


    "But more than a decade of emotional estrangement is not easy to reconcile. Nevaeh and Kiera had a


    bad rtionship, and several things that happened back then were very unpleasant."


    "No one knows whether your mother was happy or not in the Riddle family..."


    As Selena''s aura became colder and colder, Lady Lauren paused her words and suddenly became


    more cheerful. "But she was lucky to have your father love her."


    Upon hearing this, Selena finally raised her eyes.


    Lady Lauren smiled, "Callum was the man that every girl in the capital wanted to marry back then, but


    he only loved Nevaeh. With Callum''s protection, even if the Riddle family was biased, your mother


    never suffered when facing Kiera."


    Selena remembered the stunning woman with wildness in her eyes. So that''s how it came about.


    "What happenedter?" Selena asked.


    Lady Lauren''s smile disappeared, "Later, Kiera died."


    "How did she die?" Selena''s emotions remained unchanged.


    "Car ident," Lady Lauren frowned. "A lot happened at that time, causing Kiera to change her


    personality drastically. She kidnapped Nevaeh regardless of the consequences, threatened Callum.


    Nevaeh had a fiery temper and couldn''t stand it. In a fit of rage, she stepped on the elerator,


    wanting to die with Penelope."


    "The car lost control and crashed into the guardrail. Kiera and Nevaeh were both severely injured."


    "Callum saved Nevaeh, but the doctor in charge of treating Kiera didn''t save her."


    Selena tilted her head slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes. "Did Kiera like my father?"


    Lady Lauren paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, Kiera once tried to use underhanded means to


    ruin the rtionship between Callum and Nevaeh, but she failed. Instead, she had a rtionship with


    David by mistake."


    "And the next day, she med Callum for what happened and nearly drove your mother crazy."


    "Your father, despite looking gentle and handsome, can be ruthless when he needs to be. In order to


    make Nevaeh believe that he had nothing to do with Kiera, he had Kiera examined in front of many


    aristocratic families and the media, causing Kiera''s reputation to be destroyed overnight."


    "Perhaps because of this, Kierater became so crazy."


    "And Penelope''s existence was kept secret by Kiera. No one knew that she was pregnant, gave birth to


    a child, and left that child in an orphanage. It wasn''t until long after Kiera''s death that Penelope''s

    existence was discovered."


    "Did David like Kiera? And then he hated Callum and Nevaeh because of Kiera''s death?"


    "Yes, David thought Nevaeh was responsible for Kiera''s death, and Callum had the ability to save


    Kiera, but he chose to save Nevaeh first."


    "He was paranoid and believed that Callum and Nevaeh were responsible for Kiera''s death."


    "So... what role did David y in the Turner family''s massacre?" Selena finally asked the sharp


    question.


    Lady Lauren suppressed all the emotions on her face and felt her heart ache. She was silent for a long


    time before saying slowly, "When your father left, he ced your mother and you, who was still in her


    womb, in the Turner family, and secretly entrusted the safety of his wife and child to the father of


    Osvaldo."


    Selena''s eyshes trembled.


    Callum must have made this decision because he was worried that if he touched the interests of the


    Far North Laboratory, Lady Nevaeh and the Turner family would suffer retaliation from the Divine Love


    organization.


    Twenty years ago, the Turner family was the most powerful family in the capital, and with the Anderson


    family, they should have been the most secure protection. So why did such a thing happenter?


    Lady Lauren saw Selena''s pale face and raised her hand to hold her hand. "The rest of the story


    should be told by Benjamin in person. Selena, I just want to say to you..."


    "Davidmitted the sin back then, and Benjamin, perhaps even me, didn''t keep our promise to


    protect your mother. We are all to me, but... Osvaldo really didn''t know anything."


    "He was still a child and didn''t understand anything."


    "After knowing that the Turner family''s affairs were rted to the Anderson family, he took all the me


    upon himself."


    "He feels very guilty about you..."


    Lady Lauren remembered Osvaldo''s temperament and her eyes revealed a bit of sadness. She


    pleaded, "Selena, you can me all of us, but please... don''t me him."


    Selena''s resentment towards Osvaldo is the most poisonous poison in the world for him.


    Selena gently withdrew her hand and stood up. "Madam, I must hear the whole story before I can


    decide how to feel about the Anderson family."


    "But don''t worry," Selena remembered what she had said to Osvaldo. "I won''t me him."


    After speaking, Selena turned and walked out.


    Lady Lauren stood up and followed Selena''s back as she walked out. Suddenly, she said, "Selena,


    what are your ns for the Riddle family?"


    Selena suddenly stopped in her tracks. She didn''t turn around, but her icy voice was filled with a


    chilling, bloody aura. "Kiera should be grateful she''s dead. Otherwise, I would break her neck, rip out


    her heart, and scatter her ashes to the wind!"
