Chapter 1672: The Cummings Family
Chapter 1672: The Cummings Family
The hidden secret that had been buried deep in Daphne''s heart for years suddenly came to light. She
stared at Leon in disbelief, wondering how he could have known about it. Maddox was also involved in
this matter, and the descendants of the Riddle family hated him to the bone. Even if Maddox was
confused, he would not have voluntarily revealed this secret.
So... how did Leon find out?
Daphne''s eyes clearly showed her confusion.
Leon bit his cigarette and looked at the hideous old woman under his feet, feeling both sad and
ridiculous. The mighty Riddle Group had been yed around by such a woman, and in the end their
reputation was ruined because of her...
Just because of this woman...
Leon''s foot pressed down with force.
Daphne spurted out another mouthful of blood and her eyes became fierce. "Even if I''m not your
biological grandmother, I''m still your aunt by marriage. If you kill me, it would be an unforgivable act..."
Leon couldn''t help butugh at her words.
Looking beyond thatyer of filter, he realized that Daphne and Kiera were so simr - equally
malicious and shameless!
"I won''t kill you," Leon flicked off some ash from his cigarette butt. "I need to keep you alive so that all
the truth can be revealed."
He looked down at Daphne again. "The truth about how you killed your grandmother, Nevaeh auntie
and second auntie will be exposed to everyone."
"When you''re alive," Leon continued coldly,"you''ll face endless public condemnation; even after death,
you''ll leave behind a stench for thousands of years."
Daphne''s aged face suddenly twisted, and even if she had no shame, she did not want to fall to the
point where everyone would condemn her.
"Leon, you''re crazy. If you tell everyone the truth, your family, the Riddle family, will also be a
Leon let out a "ha" and said, "The Riddle family has long been a joke. Why bother with one more?"
"As for Maddox, he killed his wife and abandoned his daughter. He is not even worthy of being a
human, how could he possibly have the qualifications to be the head of Riddle Group?"
"You will go to the public court with Maddox, and your actions from that year will be gradually and
"I look forward to seeing how exciting Kiera''s expression will be when she finds out the truth."
Daphne''s aged face twitched uncontrobly, with waves of distortion.
"Nevaeh''s life is a tragedy."
Isn''t Kiera also a joke?
"At least Nevaeh still has her own career and Callum, and she also left behind Selena, such an

outstanding daughter."
Due to the greed and lust of her own parents, Kiera engaged in an incestuous rtionship with her own
brother and shamelessly gave birth to a pair of twins.
"If she knew the truth, she would definitely tear apart Daphne and Maddox''s hearts."
By then, Maddox, Daphne, and Kiera - this family of three - will be the object that makes everyone
sick to their stomachs when mentioned.
Roughly aware, Leon will definitely not show mercy to her subordinates, Daphne''s face suddenly
became fierce.
She shed the pretense of kindness and her expression turned cold and vicious, like a crimson snake.
"Leon, I advise you to release me. Otherwise, you and Hattie, including that little slut Selena, can forget
about staying alive."
Leon raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
He was genuinely curious. With Selena already being the princess of the Riddle Group Empire, where
did Daphne get her confidence to threaten her?
Daphne spoke coldly, "I am Lte Cummings, daughter of the Cummings family - one of the most
powerful hidden families in the world. Even the Riddle Group Empire must give some respect to our
family, let alone a small group like Riddle Group in the capital."
"Do you think your grandfather chose me over my foolish sister back then because he loved me? Do
you really believe that Maddox would abandon his own daughter just because he loves me?"
Daphne sneered, "It''s only because my foolish sister was too busy being a housewife and raising
children that she didn''t bother to help out and support The Riddle Family with any assistance from the
Cummings Family."
"But I''m different. I can help him. Without Lte Cummings, do you think Riddle Group in the capital
would be where it is today?"
"If we''re going to talk about it bluntly - your group is nothing but a bunch of opportunists!"
Leon looked at Daphne''s self-righteous expression and couldn''t help butugh.
Howe he hadn''t noticed before how simr Daphne was to Kiera?
There was no reasoning with someone as malicious as her; Leon didn''t want to waste any more time
on this conversation.
"Take her away," Leon ordered coldly.
Two bodyguards walked out from behind Leon and grabbed onto Daphne.
Daphne panicked; she didn''t want to go through court proceedings or be someone everyone
hated and despised when mentioned by name. She didn''t want Kiera finding out about what had
happened either so she could hate her even more...
And most importantly - she didn''t want to die!
Daphne shouted, "What are you still doing?! Even if I made a mistake, I am still the daughter of the
Cummings family. Do you dare to let me die here?!"
Apanied by Daphne''s violent howling, a figure emerged from the darkness.
That is an ordinary-looking man, with no outstanding features on his body, but he has a kind of
intimidating aura.
He grabbed Hattie''s hand and looked at Leon, "The Cummings family''s daughter has made a mistake,
and only the Cummings family has the right to punish her. Others do not have that qualification."
Leon narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Hattie stomped her feet and yelled fiercely, "Brother, don''t worry about me. Kill that old woman! She
shouldn''t be alive, and she must not live..."
Daphne smiled when she saw the personing.
"She just knows."
Although her father and mother were angry that she had killed her foolish sister, they would only punish
her and never let her die before their eyes.
Who made it so that Irene has already died, and she is their only remaining child?
Daphne arrogantly raised her head and said, "If that little bitch dares to say another word, kill her for
me!"
The man nced at Daphne and tightened his grip slightly, saying in a condescending tone, "I am a
member of the Cummings family. Outsiders have no right to interfere. But since you are also part of the
Cummings family, I will give you a chance."
"Release Lady Irene, and I will return this little maid to you!"
Leon nced at Hattie and slowly moved his feet.
Daphneughed heartily.
