《Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh》 Chapter 1 ? Chapter 1Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Pain shot through Selena Riddle''s body as she hit the marble floor. Her head throbbed, and her vision was hazy. She could hear a man growling in anger, "Selena, why don''t you go and die?" A woman''s frightened voice chimed in, "Dominic, you''re mad! What are you wastrels doing? Why don''t you hurry and pull the young master away!" Two burly bodyguards rushed over and pried Dominic''s fingers from Selena''s hair. A middle-aged woman ran to Selena''s side and helped her up. Selena''s body was frail, and she looked at her bloodstained face and head in trepidation. "Selena, are you all right?" the woman asked. Selena struggled to regain her senses. She surveyed her surroundings and found herself in a luxurious hotel surrounded by whispering crowds and flower arrangements. She looked down at herself and saw that she was wearing a snow-white wedding dress that was stained with blood near her heart. It was tragically beautiful. Selena was shocked to realize that she was getting married. She couldn''t remember anything that had led her to this moment. The man in front of her stared at her with undisguised anger and disgust. He mmed a stack of photos on the floor and used Selena of being promiscuous and trying to kill her sister. "You''re so vicious," he spat, "I''d rather die than marry you!" He ripped off the lilies from Selena''s suit, threw them in front of her, and turned away. The middle-aged woman ran after him, calling him a bastard. Selena''s heart ached as she watched Dominic walk away. She felt an explosion in her mind, memories flooding back to her. She knitted her brows and struggled to make sense of the unfamiliar feelings and memories. Suddenly, she couldn''t stand anymore and copsed, losing consciousness. In a chaotic and bloody dreamscape, Selena Riddle watched her young and determinedrades fall dead one by one, while she dragged her sick body through the endless darkness, fighting and running for her life. "Missy, go! Missy, you must live! Missy, return alive and avenge us!" they shouted, urging her to escape. But Selena didn''t make it. Betrayed by those closest to her, she died in a desperate ce, stepping over a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. As she drew her sword and shed through her heart, her enemies watched with a mix of vignce and regret. Since then, there had been no more noble and beautiful Miss Riddle in the world. But in a distantnd called Creephia, another Selena Riddle emerged. In a trance, she heard a voice from God, asking if she would like to experience it all again, to have another chance to live and fight for herrades. With tears in her eyes, Selena agreed. She closed her eyes and carefullybed through the memories that belonged to the girl whose body she had taken over. The other Selena Riddle had been about to get married, only to be stopped by her cruel sister Leah, who showed her pictures of her with another man. In a panic, Selena reached for the photos, but Leah rolled down the stairs and cried out, scattering them all over the floor. The groom publicly repudiated the marriage, leaving Selena to face a barrage of abuse and humiliation. As Selena blinked, she realized she was now in the other Selena''s body, with memories of both merging until they were reduced to silence. She was grateful to be alive and ready to bring all the heroes home and take revenge on those who had wronged her. "You awake yet?" "It''s been two days, is she even alive?" "She got what wasing to her, cheating on Master Dominic and messing around with so many people. Not to mention trying to off her own sister. Someone like that deserves to die." "Nobody''s evene to see her after all this. Upstairs in Leah''s fancy ward, it''s packed with visitors every day. The Riddle family and even Dominic himself are taking care of her. Talk about making a name for yourself." "Who would want to visit her? She''s ugly and vicious. I hope she kicks the bucket soon. I don''t know how much longer I can stand being here." The nurse speaking nced up and saw a slender figure standing in the doorway. Dressed in a blue hospital gown with long hair, a pale face, and red lips, the woman had a gauze bandage tied around her forehead. Despite her worn appearance, her eyes glowed with an eerie intensity as she stared at the nurses. "Ah!" the two nurses cried out in surprise. Selena''s gaze remained fixed on them. "Can you bring me makeup remover, clothes, and shoes?" The nurses winced under her cold stare before nodding their heads. Selena''s faint smile brought a spark of life to her sullen expression. "I won''t be dying anytime soon." The nurses felt a shiver run down their spines. "My mother left me twenty percent of the Riddle shares in her will. So even if I lose everything else, I still have money." The nurses'' expressions stiffened, their eyes widening in shock. Twenty percent of the Riddle family''s shares meant a fortune. Did the Walson family know about this? Even if Miss Riddle had fallen from grace, she was still an aristocrat''s daughter, and it would be effortless for her to stick it to the working ss. The nurses began to sweat at the thought. "Sorry, Miss Riddle, we shouldn''t have spoken ill of you. Please forgive us. We''ll go get what you need now." Chapter 2 Chapter 2 After one of the nurses finished speaking, she dragged the nurse who had just cursed Selena to die and fled. It didn¡¯t take long for the stuff to be delivered. Selena stood in front of the mirror, using a moist cotton pad to wipe away the thick foundation and lipstick. Ever since Angie told Selena that her Dominic liked flirtatious and sexy women, this silly girl made a lot of jokes every day by wearing heavy make-up and clothes that were not suitable for her age and temperament, and earned the title of the number one ugly girl in the celebrity circle. Looking at her true face, which waspletely exposed in the mirror, Selena froze. Her face was bloodless and with little vivid expression, but her pair ofrge eyes were thrillingly beautiful. What shocked Selena was not this proud beauty, but the familiarity of this face. Not only do they have the same name, they even look the same. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Selena lowered her eyshes and smiled faintly, now, when she went back, she even saved herself the effort of exining. She stared at her face in the mirror, her eyebrows lightly arched, with a distinctive charm, ¡°Selena, I will avenge you.¡± Since she had taken her body, it was her duty to seek justice for this good girl, who had died in vain and innocent. *** ¡°Son of a bitch! Are you trying to piss me off? Do you know that before Selena¡¯s mother died, she left her twenty percent of the Riddle family¡¯s shares, with that money, our Walson family will have no problem going to the next level!¡± Mrs. Walson¡¯s heart was aching when she learned the news, so close that the money had flowed into their Walson family. Dominic, dressed in a luxurious couture suit, tall and full of elite aura, heard it, his face slightly sunken, ¡°Mom, where did you hear the news from?¡± ¡°Selena said it herself, it can¡¯t be a lie!¡± Mrs. Walsonughed coldly, ¡°I told you long ago that Selena is the first Young Madam of the Riddle family, her mother had a proud family, there is no way she wouldn¡¯t have left something for Selena, but you got carried away and actually did something like repenting the marriage in public, you really pissed me off!¡± Mrs. Walson gritted her teeth, her chest trembling with anger, pointing at Selena¡¯s ward, ¡°Go now and coax or deceive her to get the marriage license with Selena as as possible!¡± Dominic frowned and said coldly, ¡°As I said, I won¡¯t marry her!¡± ¡°How dare you?¡± Mrs. Walson became angry, but when she thought of Selena¡¯s ugly face, her tone eased. ¡°Dominic, I know you like Leah, but you are facing a twenty percent share of the Riddle family, and with more effort, you are thergest shareholder of the Riddle family.¡± Dominic was indifferent. To have him marry a woman of poor character and upbringing was a dilemma to think about. Moreover, he had already said his vows, so if he went to get a license with Selena at this time, wouldn¡¯t he be humiliating himself? Mrs. Walson added, ¡°Have you thought it through? With that twenty percent of Selena¡¯s shares, the merger of the Walson family and the Riddle family is expected to surpass Olympus Group and be the biggest business hegemon in Creephia, and may even enter the capital. With such huge benefits, can you temporarily have Leah condescend?¡± Dominic¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, ¡°Mom, what do you mean? Mrs. Walson gathered the shawl over her shoulders and she snorted, ¡°In modern times, marriage and divorce aremonce. She made a mistake, so even if you don¡¯t touch her after your wedding, she would not dare toin. For the sake of our reputation, the news of your marriage will not be made public, so this is not against your wordsst night.¡± ¡°She is so devoted to you, as long as you say a few sweet words to coax her, she will give you the twenty percent of shares of her own ord. As long as that twenty percent share is in hand and Selena has no more value to use, you can treat her however you like.¡± Across a tree, on a bench in the garden, Selenazily sunbathed, looking at the blue sky and white clouds overhead and letting out a slight sigh of relief. A nurse ran over and handed over the item in her hand, ¡°Miss, here you are.¡± The sudden noise startled Dominic and Mrs. Walson, who gazed over to see a person sitting on a bench not far away. The person had long hair and wore a pure white silk dress, revealing two calves, and, wore a sun hat that covered most of her face. The only visible chin was delicate. Even if they can¡¯t see her face, the quiet girl showed her nobility. Several drinks were ced on the seat beside her, and she had obviously been sitting here for a long time. After all, it was not a morous affair and the Walson mother and son did not dare to look at her in detail and turned to leave. Before she left, Dominic looked back for some unknown psychological reason. She saw the woman take something from the nurse, an identity card. Should be there to get a license¡­ After this thought crossed his mind, Dominic somehow felt ufortable in his heart, he frowned, pondered for a moment, took onest look and left. ¡°Miss Riddle, what are you doing with your ID card?¡± The nurse asked curiously. Selena smiled at her, his eyes dark, ¡°To get married.¡± *** 5 o¡¯clock. In front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Selena sat on a bench and watched the sparse crowding and going. The first Mrs. Riddle did leave Selena twenty percent of her shares, but for her to spend that money, it had to be after the marriage. In her current situation, finding someone to marry is the fastest and most effective way to solve the problem. She was eventually going home, there was no point in wasting her extra mind in Creephia, and she didn¡¯t have any great im to the name of her partner written on the marriage certificate. After all, this Selena is not the other Selena. After the matter ispleted, she willpensate the man for the corresponding moral damage, and even everything in Creephia can be given to him for free as long as he cooperates well. It didn¡¯t seem to be a good day, as only a small percentage of those who came to the Civil Affairs Bureau were licensed, and arge percentage were divorced. Selena waited drowsily and couldn¡¯t find a suitable one. At 5,50, both the newlywed lovebirds who had received their certificates and the divorced men and women had all gone. Selena stood up from the bench and as she was about to leave, she met a slender figure walking towards her direction. She was on her feet and there was more than a hint of amazement in her eyes. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 It was a man who was dressed in ck all over. Selena could not describe his appearance, for every part of his body looked like it had been carefully sculpted by God, oozing with endearing and obsessive charm. She can¡¯t say what¡¯s beautiful, but it seems to look good everywhere. At the moment, his dignified aura overwhelmed the earth, which seemed to lose its brightness. His dark eyes were so profound and even his fingers were attractive. Selena was shocked by his handsomeness and aura, as well as the scent of his body. After careful recollection, it seems that there are no rumours about this man in Creephia. Who is he? ¡°Young Master, Miss Collins has heard those bad rumours about you and has run away from the marriage.¡± The man¡¯s delicate face was devoid of any extra emotion and his voice was pleasing to ears, ¡°In three minutes, go and pick up a clean female creature from the roadside.¡± Selena, ¡°¡­¡± Female creature? Is it okay to be a random person? He¡¯s almost less picky than she is. Selena stared at the man for a moment, and with an idea in her mind, she stepped forward with a faint smile on her face, ¡°Sir, shall we marry each other?¡± She raised the ID card and money in her hand, ¡°My treat.¡± The man looked over and met her ck and clear eyes. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± He asked, his voice with its ownpelling undertones. Selena smiled faintly, ¡°Selena Riddle.¡± There seemed to be a strange light fluttering under the man¡¯s cold eyes, but it was fleeting, too fast to catch. The assistant standing beside him looked up at Selena in surprise, scowl in his eyes. Selena Riddle? The daughter of the Riddle family who was publicly repudiated by her fianc¨¦ because of her unpleasant private style? Such a notorious woman, after being dumped by a man, dares to seek marriage with their young master, she really does not have any self-awareness. The assistant¡¯s expression was unpleasant to the extreme and he opened his mouth, about to say Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. something, but the man seemed to be aware of it and nced at him gently. With a chill in his heart, the assistant lowered his head and swallowed his objections in cold sweat. The man gazed intently at Selena, his gaze regal, with a touch of scrutiny under his eyes. Selena thought he was weighing the pros and cons, her face was full of confidence as she spoke out to exin, ¡°You need a wife, I need a husband, you marrying me is a win-win situation. After the marriage, I will do my best to cooperate with whatever you need me to do, likewise, when I need your help, you can¡¯t just stand by.¡± Although, at present, she envisages simply needing a married status to use that twenty percent of shares. But nothing is absolute and it never hurts to be prepared for both. The man seemed to be dissatisfied with her exnation, his eyes sank slightly, but in a moment he seemed to have thought of something and pushed down the hint of displeasure, his seductive thin lips spitting out, ¡°My name is Osvaldo Anderson.¡± Selena smiled brilliantly, ¡°I will keep it in mind.¡± Osvaldo Anderson held out his hand to her, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Knowing that the man was agreeing to her request, Selena put her hand into the man¡¯s, and the two walked in side by side a minute before the Civil Affairs Bureau closed. Half an hourter, Selena received her marriage certificate and got into her husband¡¯s car. Inside the understated luxury of the caravan, Selena looked down at the two red licenses on herp, somewhat surprised that she had found a man to get a license so soon. Although it was nned, it was a surreal feeling when she actually became a married woman. She waited outside all afternoon, her hands and feet cold, so she put her marriage certificate away, her eyes closed in some drowsiness. The eyes of Osvaldo fell on the face of his wife. Noticing the visitation, Selena forced her eyes open, her voice rippling with drowsy sleep, ¡°I haven¡¯t had sex with any man, and I¡¯ll clean up those wretched scandals soon, and won¡¯t cause you any trouble.¡± She felt the sight of the man, who, she thought, cared about her reputation. After all, Selena has had so much negative press in Creephia that almost no one doesn¡¯t know her. Silly, ugly, arrogant, vicious, unashamedly pestering Master Dominic. Especially after her fianc¨¦ ruined her marriage at the wedding banquet, rumours of her hical nature spread throughout Creephia, and her reputation became unbearable to the extreme. The dark eyes of Osvaldo were more than displeased, but he said nothing, took off his trench coat and covered her, his tone had a hint of tenderness, ¡°Sleep well.¡± Selena smiled and took the man¡¯s coat, which still had the warmth of his body on it, with a faintly She closed her eyes and, like azy cat,y back on the sofa and soon fell into sleep. The car pulled into a luxurious castle. Osvaldo carried the woman in his arms, all his ways into the castle. The young master, who had never been close to women, had returned with a woman in his arms, and all the servants all have their jaws dropped. But even though the servant, well-trained, were so shocked that they wanted to gossip, none of them dared to make a single sound in front of Osvaldo. Osvaldo carried Selena back to the bedroom, ced her on the big bed, personally bent down to take off her shoes, covered her with the nket, and gazed at the sleeping woman for a while before quietly walking out. ¡°Young master.¡± The old butler was waiting outside the door, obviously having learned of his marriage license, his face beaming with joy, ¡°What does young madam like? I will now immediately order someone to prepare it.¡± An eerie, dark stream of light swept across Osvaldo¡¯s eyes. In the car he had finished reading what his assistant had researched, about all of Selena¡¯s past, and the information showed that the girl liked flirty and demonic things. But when he saw her, she was in a white and in dress, with a clear and warm smile, and not a trace of anything that matched the profile at all. When the old butler saw that he was silent, he said, ¡°I asked them to pack out several rooms around the house to make a cloakroom for young madam, she is young, lively, cute, simple. All kinds of style of clothes and jewellery will be prepare for a room, young madam can always pick something she likes.¡± Osvaldo, with a mysterious look in his eyes, suddenly opened his mouth and spoke of a colour, ¡°Blue.¡± The old butler froze, thinking that Selena had told him, and smiled, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go and have someone buy all the blue clothes in Creephia right now.¡± When Osvaldo finished speaking, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, but there was not the slightest trace of it on his expressionless face. As he was about to go downstairs, he said, ¡°Get a study ready.¡± The butler happily went off to get ready. Osvaldo sat down on the sofa in the living room and had made a phone call. Azy voice withughter came from over there, ¡°Congrattions, finally married, how is Miss Collins? I heard she¡¯s a beauty, please bear with her even if you don¡¯t like her, don¡¯t lose her or I¡¯ll have to go through the trouble of finding you another woman.¡± ¡°Luke.¡± A touch of pleasure showed in his dark eyes, ¡°I got a ¡­ good woman.¡± Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Hearing the excitement in his tone, Luke Jordan was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue, ¡°Who? It can¡¯t be that Miss Collins, can it?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s she?¡± There was a silence. Luke, ¡°¡­¡± No way, he won¡¯t even reveal her name? Based on Osvaldo¡¯s disposition of treating women, it¡¯s rare to find a woman he likes. Luke uttered, ¡°As long as you like her, no matter who she is, I will immediately go and invite her back to be your wife!¡± As long as this man likes it, he doesn¡¯t even discriminate against homosexuality anymore. Osvaldo let out a lowugh, ¡°She¡¯s in my bed now.¡± Luke, ¡°¡­* So she¡¯s been brought home, no wonder it¡¯s so perverse. Being a man, he can understand. Osvaldo spoke again. ¡°Give me the position of president of Olympus Group.¡± Luke was stunned, and when he reacted, his eyes lit up, ¡°You¡¯ve finally found your conscience and are giving me a holiday, I¡¯ll buy a ticket and get the hell out of here right now-¡± However, cold word crushed his fluke, ¡°You¡¯ll be the vice president.¡± Luke, ¡°¡­¡± What the hell kind of twist is this? ¡°What do you need the position as president of Olympus Group for?¡± ording to the status and temperament of Osvaldo, he would never ask about Olympus Group if there was nothing wrong. It¡¯s the most boring job, apart from earning some money, it¡¯s hard work and unappealing. The voice of Osvaldo was lowered, with some deep meaning, ¡°It will help her.¡± There was something very strong and hateful in the eyes of his wife. The most likely reason she would suddenly seek him out for marriage is that she was hurt to the core and wanted revenge on those who had hurt her. The only one in Creephia who can crush the the Riddle family and the Walson family is none other than Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org. Olympus Group. Luke, ¡°¡­¡± Visually, it can only be the wife he just found that is important to him. Osvaldo pinched his brows, his voice deep, ¡°She has a bad reputation in Creephia, you protect her.¡± ¡°Got it, if anyone dares to curse her a word at Olympus Group, I¡¯ll immediately tell him to get out of Creephia. No matter how the outside world spreads, but the one can make Osvaldo eye on her, Luke absolutely cannot doubt her character. Otherwise, he may not even know how he died. Thinking of Selena¡¯s experience, Osvaldo spoke coldly once again, his tone lightly touched with a touch of intensity, ¡°Within three months, I don¡¯t want to see the so-called Riddle family and Walson family in Creephia again!¡± Putting down the phone, Osvaldo returned to his room silently. Selena curled up, crouching on the pillow, her long ck hair scattered all over her shoulders, her brows slightly furrowed as she slept quietly and peacefully. Standing at the edge of the bed, Osvaldo leaned down, his fingers touching the bandage on her forehead, sliding down along her pale face andnding on her lips, rubbing them tenderly. He leaned in close, and between breaths, he could clearly smell the girl¡¯s scent. In her sleep, Selena seemed to notice something and subconsciously opened her eyes. Osvaldo¡¯s fingers brushed through her ck hair, gently patted, ¡°It¡¯s okay, go to sleep.¡± Selena¡¯s long and slender eyshes fluttered, she did not feel malice, but instead, a faint warmth that seemed to have been missing for centuries. She rubbed against the pillow, like a baby, and wrapped her arms around him, revealing a touch of inexplicable fondness, and soon fell asleep again. Osvaldo gazed her sleeping face, lowered his head and dropped a tender kiss on her brow, ¡°No matter who you are, where youe from, what you have experienced, I will not leave you.¡± When Selena woke up the next morning, the sun was already pouring into the room. She vaguely remembered being carried into her bedroomst night, so she wasn¡¯t surprised at this point. It was just surprising that she could sleep so soundly in the arms of a strange man, without even the slightest hint of wariness. She tapped her forehead, unable to think straight, and tossed her mind aside for the moment. She got out of bed, went into the cloakroom and, from the room of clothes, picked out a long blue dress, a very simple style, which, on her, was as beautiful and warm as her nature, with a faint quiet coolness. She had her breakfast, after the doctor changed the medicine on the wound on her forehead, put on her hat and was ready to go out. At this moment, with his legs casually folded, Osvaldo sat on the sofa and kept gazing at her quietly. It was only when she was ready to leave that he stood up, walked over, grabbed her slender wrist and handed her a copy of the equity transfer, his voice gentle, ¡°The bride-price.¡± Selena froze for a moment, then opened it and looked at it twice. It was a letter of transfer of shares in Olympus Group, all the formalities were in ce, and once she signed it, she could be the new president of Olympus Group. This bride price, ced on any girl in Creephia, would be enough to drive her crazy. Selena did not grow up in Creephia, and she spent more than twenty years on her studies, having no deep attachment to money. But since she had married Osvaldo, she did not refuse his bride price. And, this man in front of her should have already investigated the previous Selena thoroughly to know that at this time, she was seriously short of money. However, to casually give her Olympus Group as a bride price, this man¡¯s identity seemed more powerful than she thought. Selena arched her eyebrows and put the things away, her dark eyes fell on the man and she smiled softly, ¡°Thank you, but wait for me to prepare the dowry.¡± When she finished, she winked yfully at him and turned to walk out the door. Behind her, Osvaldo¡¯s eyes darkened for a moment as he looked at the slender figure gradually walking away, saying a silent goodbye. Selena returned to the Riddle family. She had just entered the door, and she saw Mrs. Riddle Molly, Leah¡¯s mother sitting on the sofa drinking tea. She was dressed in a slim-fitting dress and despite being in her forties, she was still extremely posh and aristocratic. She nced at Selena, saw her dress and froze for a moment, followed by a sh of disgust in her eyes, ¡°Breakfast was left for you in the kitchen, from now on you will squat and eat in the kitchen, and save the underlings from cleaning up the table.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t me your stepmother for being cruel, you have smeared the Riddle family so much, there is no way to ount for it to the Walson family, and it has pissed your father off half to death. He wants to kick you out of the house, but you are after all the one I have watched grow up, I can¡¯t bear to see you be homeless, and I can¡¯t let your father be angry when he sees you, so you will be resigned to it.¡± ¡°In future, all of Lady Selena¡¯s meals will be left in the kitchen, do you hear me?¡± The underlings of the Riddle family were obsequious and said respectfully to Mrs. Riddle, ¡°Yes,¡± Making Lady Selena squat in the kitchen to eat? This is to raise her as a family animal. Selena looked calm, her face was neither angry nor pissed off, she even wore a faint warm smile, ¡°No need, Mrs. Riddle, I¡¯ll move out today.¡± With those words, she lifted her steps upstairs. Mrs. Riddle snapped, knocking her teacup viciously. ¡°Stop right there! You went upstairs by yourself when your elders were still downstairs, how can you be so rude? Are you even dumb in the head after all the scandalous things you¡¯ve done?¡± After saying that, she sank her face and walked to Selena¡¯s side, raising her hand to hit her, Selena dodged and Mrs. Riddle pounced in air Mrs. Riddle¡¯s face twisted in anger when she looked up and was caught off guard by a pair of dark, cold eyes. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Those eyes were intensely ck and lightless, hollow, locked firmly on Mrs. Riddle, cold and piercing. Mrs. Riddle¡¯s face gradually turned white as she was creeped out by these eyes. Selena revealed a warmless smile and said in a cold tone, ¡°Since you like being an animal so much, I will definitely arrange a good ce for you in the future, to ensure that you and them will be inseparable for the rest of your life.¡± Mrs. Riddle shuddered sharply, looking at her step daughter, who had suddenly be a stranger before her, with more than unease in her heart. At this moment, Leah Riddle stood at the entrance of the staircase, wearing a long aqua dress, carrying a bag, her make-up exquisite, looking at Selena¡¯s face, her eyes showing deep jealousy. Her features are not as delicate as Selena¡¯s, but her eyes look pure, making people want to pity her. Leah smiled brightly, ¡°Sis, do you think my outfit beautiful? The dress and the bag are both Chanel exclusives, Dominic sent them especially to please me.¡± Her eyes carried a deep sense ofcency, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you were so close to bing Dominic¡¯s wife, but after that scandal, you still lost all your work, but it doesn¡¯t matter, although you can¡¯t be Dominic¡¯s wife, I will definitely help you find a ¡°good man¡±. I will not let you be alone for the rest of your life.¡± However, listening to Leah¡¯s unconcealed words of bragging, Selena still looked aloof. Looking at Selena¡¯s impassive face, which was not as stoic and painful as usual, surprise swept across Leah¡¯s eyes. As if remembering something, she added in a soft voice. ¡°How did you recuperate from your injury, Sis? I wasn¡¯t hurt very badly, but Dominic had to apany me to the hospital, and got me a vip ward to take care of me personally, and the food was from specially tailored recipes, even when I had to go out for air, he didn¡¯t feel at ease.¡± Selena stared at her and asked an unexpected question, ¡°How much did you sell me for?¡± The scandal happened when it was Selena¡¯s birthday. She waited for Dominic in the hotel with great anticipation for a day, but Dominic never showed up because Leah was sick. Selena waited untilte at night, but Dominic did not appear in the end. Even more coincidentally, there happened to be a couple of men who barged in as her drugs were kicking in, and the security guards ignored her pleas for help. Although Selena managed to escape in the end, the photo of her running away in the street was taken, and the angle was so tricky that it was a cause for reverie. If Selena had not been lucky that day, she would be raped, she would have lost her reputation and been worse off than dead. But now it¡¯s no better, disliked by the man she loves, repudiated, infamous and even dead. Not a bit of life was left for the damsel in distress. That¡¯s cruel! Leah smiled and was just about to speak, but she saw Dominic, who had just entered the house, and her showy expression abruptly faded. Her face was instantly covered with teardrops, her voice was full of self-me and guilt, she raised her hand to grab Selena¡¯s hand, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, that day was my fault, I shouldn¡¯t have gotten sick, shouldn¡¯t have bothered Dominic, shouldn¡¯t have failed to go with you for your birthday, if I knew something like this would happen, I would have never¡­¡± Selena frowned and smacked the hand away. This hand caused her to be beaten, scolded and disgusted every time it reached out towards the real Selena. Selena¡¯s reputation for malevolence is all thanks to this hand. She hit it hard with all the strength she could muster. The loud sound hurts to hear. The back of Leah¡¯s hand was red and she cried out in pain, her tears falling sharply and fiercely. At the same time, two shocked and angry voices came from behind Selena, ¡°Leah! Leah!¡± Mrs. Riddle and Dominic rushed over. Seeing therge red swelling on the back of Leah¡¯s hand, Mrs. Riddle¡¯s eyes turned red, she looked at Selena angrily and pped her across the face. ¡°Bitch, do you have any conscience? Your father wanted to kick you out for doing such a scandalous thing, and it was only after Leah cried and begged that she was able to convince your father, and you are ungrateful, but you even return the favour!¡± Selena stepped back in time, but her cheek was still cut with blood by Mrs. Riddle¡¯s long nails, and she licked her lips, tasting a salty taste. That was blood. Mrs. Riddle¡¯s eyes were vicious and her face was twisted, ¡°Get out! Get the hell out of here right now!¡± Dominic cupped Leah¡¯s hand and red back at Selena, wanting to eat her alive. However, the moment his gaze touched Selena¡¯s face, he was abruptly stunned. The girl standing there, with her declining features, her long, slightly curly hair hanging over her thin shoulders, had a nobility about her as she stood still. This is Selena? Dominic was deeply shocked, when Selena ran after him, she had been heavily made up, he had almost forgotten what Selena originally looked like, to his surprise, to have her heavy make-up Owned by N?velDrama.Org. removed, her real face would be so beautiful At this, Leah was jealous, her eyes filled with teardrops, she said in a stoic and aggrieved manner, ¡®Mom, Dominic, I¡¯m fine, my sister didn¡¯t mean it, because she just encountered those things, she¡¯s in a bad mood, we have to be more tolerant of her Mrs. Riddle said angrily, ¡°Leah, don¡¯t exin for her, we all saw it, this woman is self-absorbed and doesn¡¯t deserve any sympathy at all!¡± Selena raised her eyebrows, in the past eighteen years of her life, she had note into contact with a woman of Leah¡¯s type, outwardly benign but inwardly vicious, making full use of her advantages to use those around her to harm people This woman was a born actress. As she had done countless times in the past with the real Selena, it was such a cautionary tale, fully reflecting her kindness, Selena¡¯s viciousness, making Mrs Riddle hate Selena and making her fianc¨¦, Dominic, speak ill of Selena, was this wornan¡¯s usual measure Sooner orter she would help the innocent girl who had died in vain to tear off the mask of Leah¡¯s disguise Selena was not interested in continuing to watch this drama, she had more important things to do when she came today. Dominic was annoyed to see her just walk away with a look that waspletely devoid of the infatuation and coquetry she had shown him in the past, ¡°Selena, apologize to Leah!¡± Selena stopped walking and looked back at him, the mockery and chill in her eyes creeped Dominic out. Her lips curled into a smile as she looked coldly at him and Leah and cursed out, ¡°Scum and bitch.¡± Chapter 6 Chapter 6 As a woman, an honourable Young Madam, Selena was raised from her childhood in such a way that she was not allowed to use foulnguage, but now that she was Selena of Creephia, she can do so. It¡¯s quite great of swearing! Dominic¡¯s face stiffened abruptly. Leah¡¯s face became even whiter and her body shook as if she was about to faint. She fell mournfully into Dominic¡¯s arms and sobbed, ¡°Sis, I didn¡¯t mean to do it. I¡¯m sorry, I really didn¡¯t mean to expose those photos.¡± At the mention of the photos, Dominic¡¯s face turned unpleasant, and the look in Selena¡¯s eyes once again took on disgust, ¡°Leah, you don¡¯t have to me yourself, a woman like her is entirely to me for what happened to her today¡± The corners of Selena¡¯s lips curled, and no expression of heartfelt guilt could be seen on her face at all. She looked down at Dominic in a condescending manner and smiled coldly, ¡°As a man, how can you be scum to this extent?¡± Dominic can no longer be described aspletelyme. Before, Selena, so fond of him, treated him as the salvation of her life. But this is the man who joined forces with the mistress¡¯ daughter who killed her mother, destroyed her home and took over her status, and caused her more than just her reputation to fall apart, he also cost her her life. For Dominic and Leah, she was bound and determined to screw the scum and the bitch! Dominic¡¯s face instantly twisted up in violent anger, ¡®Selena, you are simply shameless!* ¡°I am shameless, but I was born beautiful, much better looking than Leah that you are holding in your arms.¡± Selena swept a nce at Leah and smiled brightly, her eyes full of arrogance, ¡°Whether it¡¯s her birth, or her looks,pared to me, Leah is a piece of trash on the ground.¡± The soft expression on Leah¡¯s face was so close to being untenable. She looked warily and unexpectedly at Selena in front of her, always feeling that this sister, today, had be different. Leah scrutinised her for a long time, and although she had changed her clothes and removed all that unsightly make-up, she was indeed Selena. If this bitch¡¯s face hadn¡¯t been so beautiful, how could she have joined forces with Angie to set her up? She just didn¡¯t expect that a failed wedding feast would make her no longer as stupid as before. Selena naturally saw what Leah was thinking and just gave a disdainfulugh. Selena was not stupid at all. She was a very smart girl. The reason why she was set up by Leah and Angie was simply because, she really liked Dominic too much. She would do whatever the man liked, no matter how unconventional. It¡¯s a pity that this scum failed such a good girl. Selena patted her heart, soothing her somewhat sad heart, not bothering to look at these three people one more time, she lifted her steps and walked upstairs. The three people watched Selena walk away, as if she had no regard for them at all, so they collectively contorted their faces. Selena walked back into her room. Ever since the death of thest Mrs. Riddle, Selena has not had the slightest warmth in the Riddle family. Her room, with its cold and lonely style, has no hint of warmth at all. Selena sighed slightly, a trace of pity rising in her heart. She hung the curtains up and opened the window, letting the sunlight in and dispelling the coldness. Then, after looking around, Selena walked over to the desk and pulled open the drawer. She had no attachment to the Riddle family, and the reason she made this trip was because the previous Selena had been left something very important behind. Selena searched carefully in the drawer, but found nothing. A cold light shed in her eyes, and without wasting any extra effort, she strode out on her heels. Downstairs in the living room. Mrs. Riddle was helping Leah¡¯s hands with medicine. Both mother and daughter looked very unpleasant. Dominic sat on one side, his brow knitted, and although he was talking to Leah, his eyes always unconsciously looked upstairs. At Dominic¡¯s distracted look, Leah bit her lip and lowered her head, ¡°Dominic, I am so sad.¡± Dominic asked in a soft voice, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I know it¡¯s my mother and I who are bad for destroying my sister¡¯s home, but¡­¡± Leah sadly lowered her head and snuggled into his arms, sobbing sadly, ¡°Things like birth are not something one can choose, and if it were possible, I wouldn¡¯t want to hurt anyone, but my sister just called me a child born of a mistress in public.¡± Dominic hugged her and grunted coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t take what she says to heart¡± Leah looked at Selena who was walking down the stairs, and her lips curled into a smile Usually, when Selena saw the way Dominic pampered her, her expression was both painful and sad, but she had to force a smile, lest Dominic would dislike her even more. As long as she holds Dominic in her hand, ten Selena cannot escape her grasp. She was always able to use Dominic to hurt Selena. Leah was confident, waiting to see Selena reveal a painful and stoic expression, but this time, she was disappointed. Selena came down the stairs, not to mention sad, and didn¡¯t even look at Dominic. Her dark eyes, staring coldly at her, carried a shocking anger. Leah inexplicably cringed, what the hell was wrong with this bitch today? Not only is she a lot bolder, it¡¯s surprising that she evenpletely disgusted Dominic When Dominic heard the sound of footsteps, he subconsciously pushed Leah away and turned his head to look. Just then, he saw that Selena had already walked closer, her eyes were coldly staring at Leah, her tone was full of coldness, ¡°Hand over the script in the drawer of my room!¡± A hint of something shed under Leah¡¯s eyes and her face was soft as she asked, ¡°Sis, what are you talking about? What script? I haven¡¯t seen the script at all¡± As she spoke, she turned her head to ask Mrs. Riddle on the sofa, her voice puzzled, ¡°Mom, did you see the script in my sister¡¯s room? Did the nanny lose it when she cleaned the room?¡± Mrs. Riddle said angrily, ¡°What script? She¡¯s just a fool, she¡¯s always bottom at every exam, saying she can write a script, does anyone believe her? She¡¯s missing her stuff, yet shees to you to ask for it, clearly she¡¯s deliberately ndering you!¡± Selena took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. This mother and daughter, who killed Selena¡¯s mother, stole Selena¡¯s home and her fianc¨¦, even wanted to steal herst dream. Leah said in a panic, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t say that, Sis, what kind of script do you have? I will help you find it right away.¡± Leah stood up and walked towards Selena, sayingforting words, but in an angle that Dominic couldn¡¯t see, she smiled petntly and said to Selena with her mouth shape, ¡°Bitch, I took your script, what can you do about it?¡± Selena raised her hand and pped Leah hard across the face. With all the strength she could muster, there was a resounding p. 2/2 Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Leah was directly pped by her and heavily fell to the ground. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Leah!¡± Mrs. Riddle and Dominic immediately came up to help Leah Dominic¡¯s anger was so high that he raised his hand and punched Selena in the face, but his fist stopped fiercely when it was a few centimeters away from Selena¡¯s face Selena looked at him with an eerie chill in her eyes. In those clear eyes wrapped in ice, Dominic suddenly saw his own blood-drenched self. He seemed to have a feeling of frozen blood, and he suddenly shivered Leah copsed in Mrs Riddle¡¯s arms, originally thinking that she had been beaten so that she could see an even worse scene of Selena, but surprisingly she did not receive the expected harvest. Leah trembled with pain, forcing her face to twist, and before she could make a sound to act, her chin was suddenly lifted forcefully by a cold hand. When Leah raised her head, she met Selena¡¯s dark eyes. ¡°Leah, you stole my father, stole my home, stole my fianc¨¦, it is time you took all these rubbish, but Selena had a sharp cold light in her eyes, her voice was cold to the core, ¡°In this world, there are always those things that no one else can snatch away!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve written a script that will bring you glory or drop you in pieces and blood!¡± ¡°If you dare to steal, be prepared to pay a terrible price, wait and see, I will make you infamous and repentant!¡± Leah was taken aback by the coldness in her tone, and shivered in vain. She endured the pain in her face and said in a cold voice, ¡°Sis, there should be a limit to your nonsense, your script is missing and you say I took it, do you have any proof?¡± Selena threw her away in disgust and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, her eyes were filled with arrogance and coldness, ¡°I don¡¯t need that, Leah, remember, sooner orter, I will make you kneel on the ground, holding my script, crying and begging me to take it back, you-¡± ¡°Shameless scum!¡± When Selena finished, she mmed the handkerchief on Leah¡¯s face and turned to walk out. In the early sunlight, her slender spine was straight, her blue skirt, about to reach the ground, was dignified. Leah¡¯s face twisted as she stared deadly at Selena¡¯s back, her body shaking with anger. Selena didn¡¯t let out a breath until she walked out of the house. Even if she is not the real Selena, she still feels sorry for that kind and tender girl. She looked down, to her heart, and said tenderly, ¡°In this world, there are three things that no one else can snatch away from you, the food that you eat in your mouth, the knowledge that you learn in your head, and your own dreams. These three things cannot be snatched away by others, no matter how much they do.¡± ¡°Your father and fianc¨¦ are scum, they don¡¯t deserve you, but I promise, I will help you get your dream back intact.¡± After Selena finished, she waited for a few more moments and finally felt much better inside. She lifted her head, looked at the blue sky for a moment and was about to leave, but she heard a respectful voiceing from beside her. ¡°Young Madam, please get in!¡± Selena¡¯s footsteps gave a beat, she turned her head to look over, and saw that at some point, there was an additional man wearing a ck suit with a stiff, cold face next to her. She smiled, ¡°Do you know where I¡¯m going?¡± ¡°Young master has ordered that you should not forget to eat your lunch even when you are busy.¡± The man pulled open the rear door and waited respectfully. It was only then that Selena remembered that, technically speaking, she was now considered a married woman. It¡¯s quite a new feeling to be disciplined by her husband. Selena smiled faintly and lifted her steps to the car. The car drove back to the castle. When Selena went back, Osvaldo was sitting at the dining table, obviously waiting for her. Although Selena¡¯s face was as warm as ever, Osvaldo was still acutely aware that she was not in a good mood. He raised his hand and pulled chair for her. Selena sat down across the table, smiling slightly, ¡°In the future if Ie backte, you don¡¯t have to wait for me.¡± Osvaldo gave her a deep look. 7 His wife, who said she wasing home to get something, ended up returning empty-handed. Although she did not show disappointment, she had suffered a loss. Noticing his gaze, Selena knew what he wanted to ask, and looked up with a faint smile, ¡°There was an ident, and I won¡¯t be able to bring my things over until a whileter.¡± When she finished, she picked up her spoon and drank the soup gracefully Osvaldo looked at her and did not ask more questions. After lunch, Selena went back to her room for a half-hour nap, and when she came downstairs, Osvaldo was leaning on the sofa in a dignified manner, with his long, slender fingertips flipping through something. Selena sat down beside him and asked with arched eyebrows, ¡°Does Olympus Group have ns to make a TV series recently?¡± Osvaldo casually put things down, ¡°You want to be a star?¡± Selena shook her head, ¡°I have a script.¡± She thought carefully for a moment and added, ¡°It¡¯s very well written, and if it is shoot with care, it will be a hit!¡± The previous Selena was a truly talented woman. It was a pity that she met a scumbag and buried her talent. Osvaldo¡¯s gaze was somewhat deep as he stared into Selena¡¯s eyes, ¡°You are now the president of Olympus Group, you don¡¯t have to tell anyone what you want to do.¡± Selena froze, thenughed She had forgotten about the bride price she had received in the morning. She was about to say something about the dowry, but she suddenly saw the newspaper that Osvaldo had thrown on the table, the very news that Selena had been dumped in public at the wedding. She pondered for a moment, looking into the man¡¯s inscrutable eyes, her tone delicate, ¡°Do you have any questions you¡¯d like to ask me?¡± The corners of his mouth curved up in a slight arc, his fingertips stroked her cheek, his tone was firm, ¡°You are now a married woman, it¡¯s time for you to forget your so-called fianc¨¦e.¡± ¡°Give me five days.¡± Selena smiled faintly, ¡°Five dayster, at Cyril Walson¡¯s birthday banquet, I will personally go to break off the engagement Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Although she had already received her marriage license, morally speaking, Selena and Dominic were still in an unmarried couple rtionship. This honorable man, now technically speaking, was still a third party. A light smile appeared at the corner of Selena¡¯s lips, ¡°I won¡¯t let any trouble rm you.¡± Rarely does someone disregard Selena¡¯s notoriety and get a marriage license with her, so naturally she can¡¯t let him be implicated because of her own faults. When Osvaldo heard her words so clear-cut, his fingers paused. His wife is obviously treating this marriage between the two of them as an explicit deal, or a tool to get back at the the Riddle family and the Walson family. But, can it really be what she wants it to be? In the site of thergest charity auction in Creephia, Selena sat in the VIP room on the second floor and All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. watched the scene downstairs with interest. She has had a pretty good life for the past twenty years, but there are bad parts. The biggest disadvantage is the congenital weakness of the body. If she hadn¡¯t, she wouldn¡¯t have be amander and would have gone into battle herself, given her cold and ruthless nature. Given her health and status, Selena rarely appears in such a lively social setting. The auction is even a first visit. When Osvaldo saw herzily lying on the windowsill in a very good mood, his eyes darkened slightly. Selena soon found something that intrigued her. She saw Leah and Dominic in the crowd sitting at the bottom. These two, who previously would have been more restrained in public for the sake of winning fame, have been appearing on the same asion with absolutely no qualms since the cancetion of the wedding. Not only will they not be called scum and mistress, but they have reaped arge number of praise and blessings. Selena held a cup and drank tea, coldness swept across her eyes, thinking that she had lectured too much in the morning and Dominic had brought Leah here specifically to have a break. Selena seemed to think of something and turned her head back to meet the eyes of Osvaldo Osvaldo was also looking at her, with eyes so deep they seemed to want to see through her heart. Selena looked straight at him, ¡°I¡¯m going to fix the Riddle family and the Walson family, maybe even to the point where their families are broken.¡± The identity of Osvaldo is a mystery. But as far as Selena could see, this man¡¯s every word and action carried the coldness and dignity of a superior person. He gave her the Olympus Group without blinking an eye as a bride price. A figure with such aura and drive will never pursue what is right or wrong in the traditional sense. However, there are some things that need to be made clear in advance. After all, no one knew that the real Selena was dead and that Dominic owed her a life The Riddle family was her family. Her revenge, in the eyes of onlookers, definitely falls into the category of ruthless and treacherous. Osvaldo frowned, ¡°Whatever you want to do, just let do it, within Creephia, you have nothing to fear.¡± Selena put on a smile, and although she didn¡¯t think it was necessary, she still exined solemnly, ¡°I have no rtionship with Dominic, whatsoever.¡± The one who was rted to Dominic, Selena, had been killed by his own hand. The darkness in Osvaldo¡¯s eyes suddenly disappeared as he looked at her with a serious face. He leaned closer to her, and said gently, ¡°I know.¡± Even if there had been, he would have broken off the rtionship between thempletely. Selena¡¯s gaze was slightly frozen. It seems that she did not expect that Osvaldo would trust her so much. It doesn¡¯t seem like any man should take her word so lightly. After all, the previous Selena, who loved Dominic, did so many out-of-the-ordinary actions. When Selena thought of it, she felt heartbroken and unworthy for that girl. Osvaldo raised his hand, stroked her hair, put his arms around his slender waist, looked her straight in the eyes, and his voice carried a 1/2 you¡¯ll live better than anyone without them.¡± Selena was once again stunned. She raised a hand to brush his brow with a grateful smile, ¡°I will.¡± Coincidentally, the final item for tonight¡¯s charity auction was released on stage. It was an extremely rare sapphire. The moment this sapphire appeared, the atmosphere was instantly a lot more tense. Sapphires are rare, let alone such arge one. Of the seven coloured stones, pink is lovely and lively, red is atmospheric and elegant, and blue is the most understated and dignified The main thing is that it is so rare and unique that there is absolutely no embarrassment of meeting the same model. The women tugged at the sleeves of the men around them, their expectant eyes glued to it, barely able to move away. The host introduced, ¡°This sapphire was mined three years ago, a rare sapphire that has been mined for hundreds of years and has not yet had an owner, it is priceless and has a reserve price of eight million!¡± Eight million is nothing for the top group of wealthy people in Creephia. Especially those with femalepanions are happy to make a ssh. Immediately, a sign was raised. ¡°Ten million!¡± ¡°Twelve million!¡± ¡°Fifteen million!¡± When the price was shouted at 30 million, there were basically only a few people still holding out. After all, not everyone would spend tens of millions on a sapphire, and not all women, for that matter, are worth a man¡¯s money Amidst a chorus ofints from the women, Dominic opened his mouth with a proud face and a tone of determination, ¡°Fifty million!¡± The crowd looked up and saw that it was the president of the Walson¡¯s, and the few who were still speaking up gave up their fight. The women stared enviously and jealously at Leah, who was sitting beside him, gentle and beautiful, whispering: ¡°Leah is so lucky, she¡¯s obviously an illegitimate daughter, yet she¡¯s treated like a treasure by the young master of the Walson family.¡± ¡°Selena, having a fianc¨¦, dares to have an affair with so many men, she is making her own death.¡± ¡°Yeah, if I were Dominic and had such a shameless fianc¨¦e, I would have picked the talented Leah too.¡± Feeling the countless envious and jealous eyes, Leah¡¯s vanity was immensely satisfied as she took Dominic¡¯s arm, her face a mixture of joy and tenderness. Even if she had robbed Selena¡¯s fianc¨¦ in her capacity as mistress¡¯ daughter, so what? All she gets now is envy and blessings. If Selena wants to fight her, she¡¯s not even close! ¡°Fifty million once! Fifty million twice, fifty million,st calling-¡± Just when everyone thought it had settled, suddenly a low, seductive voice descended. ¡°Half a billion!¡± The crowd was astonished. Upon reaction, they thought they had heard wrong. 500 million? Buy a diamond. After a few seconds of silence, it was an uproar, The group looked up collectively, staggered, and followed the sound towards the second floor. At the railing of the VIP room on the second floor, there was a handnding on it. Through the gap in the railing, a ck figure could be vaguely seen sitting on the sofa. Although one could not see his face, the dignified and awe-inspiring aura of the body was so far away that it took one¡¯s breath away. Leaning against the man, there was another slender, beautiful figure sitting. The women, with faces of madness and fascination, stared in awe at the figure, their hearts beating wildly as they spected about his identity When they came today, the auction said that the VIP room on the second floor was closed and no entry was allowed. They didn¡¯t know why a moment ago, but now they all understand. He was able to make a group of the richest big shots in Creephia give way to clear the field for him alone, how distinguished must this man be? 2/2 Chapter 9 Chapter 9 ¡°Half a billion? Did I mishear?!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they say the VIP room on the second floor was closed today? Howe there¡¯s someone up there?¡± *Spending 500 million on a diamond. Who spent like money like that?!¡± The women looked at the dignified and beautiful figure with fascination and madness, asking each other anxiously. ¡°Who is that man?¡± ¡°He actually asked all the nobles in the city to clear the ce for him! What exactly is this man¡¯s status?!¡± ¡°And who is the woman he is with?¡± Leah¡¯s face was white. She lifted her head and stared deadly at the two upstairs, clenching her fists in resignation and annoyance. Half a billion! It was almost half of Dominic¡¯s fortune, and for Dominic to spend half of his fortune to buy a diamond for her? That¡¯s never going to happen! Leah stared jealously and resentfully at the figure upstairs that had taken her ce as the centre of attention, gritting her teeth in anger. Upstairs. For the sudden call for action by Osvaldo, Selena had a slight surprise, ¡°Actually no need.¡± She doesn¡¯t have much of a taste for diamond jewellery or anything like that. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his voice waspelling, ¡°The most vicious revenge against one person is to snatch away everything she cares about.¡± Most importantly, it was the only way to say that she would not refuse the gift he gave out. Selena¡¯s long eyshes trembled gently, and her expression was more than icy. Isn¡¯t that how Leah, piece by piece, snatched away all of Selena¡¯s things? Thinking of this, Selena¡¯s original words of refusal disappeared into her throat, and she turned to Osvaldo with a grateful smile, ¡°Thank you.¡± She could almost anticipate how those two people look like when she appeared in front of Dominic and Leah wearing this diamond. After resting in the castle for two days, and after the bruise on her forehead had almost healed, Selena drove to the Olympus Group. Luke was informed in advance that she was to take up her official duties today. Fearing that she would be used because of rumours, Luke sent a team of assistants to wait outside the gate personally. As the ck Bugatti pulled up, Luke¡¯s lips curled into a smile and he stepped forward to open the door in a gentlemanly manner. Selena got off and looked at the demonic and elegant looking man across the table, revealing a smile, ¡°Hello, Mr. Jordan.¡± Luke froze. The wife that Osvaldo married was Selena? It was hard for him not to know about Selena¡¯s messy reputation in Creephia. Selena, whose marriage was ruined by the Walson family in public because of her ¡°promiscuity¡±, is the good woman that Osvaldo spoke of? Even though Luke had always been calm, he was so shocked that he almost bit his own tongue. In the past two days he could not help but secretly wonder what kind of woman could make a man like Osvaldo like her. After seeing the real person with his own eyes, Luke suddenly felt that Osvaldo¡¯s vision was really This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. beyond the reach of others! ¡°Miss Riddle, you are really out of everyone¡¯s expectation.¡± Knowing his doubts, Selena just smiled and extended her hand towards him, ¡°In theing period, I may need your help, Mr. Jordan.¡± Luke shook her hand and curled his lips into a smile, ¡°My pleasure, President. This way, please.¡± Selena shook her head and said with a straight face, ¡°No need, I¡¯m here to deliver the script, as for Olympus Group, Mr. Jordan, you are needed¡± After getting justice, she will soon return to her home. There is no energy or time to run and manage a multinationalpany. Luke thought the girl was afraid andforted her, ¡°Miss Riddle, Olympus Group is a bride-price from your husband, you can receive it with peace of mind, and I promise, no one will dare to speak out against it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that case,¡± Selena winked and said yfully, ¡°I¡¯m a college student who hasn¡¯t graduated yet, not to mention whether I can run managing such a bigpany well or not, just in terms of the level of hard work, I can¡¯t afford it.¡± This exnation makes sense. Luke finally knows why Osvaldo tied him up here as a vice president It turned out that he could not have his wife to work hard but continued to squeeze his surplusbour Shit! From now on, he will not only be in charge of the Olympus Group, but will also have to carefully protect this woman. Luke¡¯s eyes were distinctly off, but he was still smiling demonically, ¡°Miss Riddle, please Selena knew he was agreeing, and there was more gratitude in her eyes, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Jordan.¡± Having said that, she stepped on her high heels and took the lead in the direction of the Olympus Group¡¯s gate. Luke took a half step behind her, hands in his trouser pockets, as he observed the woman in front of him. As the president of Olympus Group, a position of power, not just anyone can walk in front of him with peace of mind. And this Selena¡¯s pace light and calm, carrying an elegant and introverted aura, not a hint of shrinkage in sight. He can¡¯t even call her arrogant, because her movements are so natural, like some kind of habit and instinct engraved in her bones. It was as if, she was born to walk in that position. It has nothing to do with the legendary cowardice and brutality. What an interesting woman! About the script stolen by Leah, Selena spent two days rewriting it silently. She had no outline or script, and could only integrate herself into Selena¡¯s memories and feelings to fully restore what the girl wanted to express. She satzily in the sunny warmth of her office, pushed the script in front of Luke and said without haste, ¡°Mr. Jordan, here is a script, I want to make it as fast as possible,¡± ¡°You¡¯re the president, you¡¯re in charge at Olympus Group, if you¡¯re going to be the director for a TV series, no one will dare to make a movie,¡± Luke curiously took the script and flipped through two pages, his expression more than interested, ¡°This script is really well written.¡± Selena looked him in the eye and said bluntly, ¡°This drama will definitely be a hit if it is cast and produced, but there are many storms in the middle of the process, and it might even get into trouble.¡± A touch more cynical yfulness appeared on Luke¡¯s face, ¡°You mean we may lose money?¡± Selena tilted her head and smiled, her gaze clear, ¡°I never make a loss-making deal, and if someone makes me lose money, I will make him go. bankrupt.¡± For example, if Leah dares to despicably steal Selena¡¯s heart and soul, then it will not be as simple as just returning the script, she will have to pay more for her actions. Luke smiled, ¡°That¡¯s good, I love watching the drama, Miss Riddle, I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± Chapter 10 Chapter 10 After agreeing on the details with Luke, Selena walked out of the Olympus Group alone. Olympus Group¡¯s staff were all a bit surprised to see a young girl with long hair and eye-catching features walking out of the lift reserved for the boss of thepany. ¡°Who is this? A new employee? Which department is she from?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, she walked out of Mr Jordan¡¯s lift, what¡¯s her rtionship with Mr. Jordan?¡± Leaving the whispered voices of doubt behind, Selena walked to the roadside drink shop and bought a ss of lime water, holding it and sitting on the roadside lounger. She looked up at the blue-coloured sky of Creephia and missed her home country. The sky there is also such a blue colour But it gives a far less peaceful and serene feeling. It is a ce where even the air smells cold and clear. There were her family, her friends, everything she had risked her life to protect. When she was too ill to see the wind, she used to sit like this in her ss bower, looking up at the blue sky, and asionally seeing the majestic eagles flying with their wings. One day her feet will set foot on her homnd again, bringing home the heroes who died in vain and cing them in the Monument of Heroes with her own hands. Selena took a sip of chilled lime water, suppressing the thoughts churning in her heart, and gave a warm smile to the sky The mobile phone in her bag vibrated, Selena looked at it, the screen was shing a note ¨C ¡°Hubby¡±. She was surprised, and chuckled at the title. Selena had lost her mobile phone before, and in order to prevent the Riddle family and the Walson family from harassing her, she didn¡¯t deliberately go looking for it. This mobile phone was give to her by Osvaldo when she went out this morning. Hubby. Funny. Selena stared at the address for a few seconds, before she pressed the answer button. Olympus Group. Luke gazed at Selena¡¯s back in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the corners of his eyes lifting slightly. He turned around, fetched the remote control on the table and pressed it. The curtain on the wall rises and on the huge screen, a man dressed in ck appears. He sat on the sofa, with deep dark eyes and a face as handsome as it could be, without a trace of expression. Long, slender fingers rest on his knees, and there is an air of dignity all over his body. Luke held the ss of water and said with interest, ¡°You woman is really something.¡± A multinationalpany as big as Olympus Group¡¯s is enough to clothe and feed a person for several lifetimes, and she says she doesn¡¯t want it, such drive and heart is not something that anyone can have. Darkness seemed to freeze in Osvaldo¡¯s eyes, and he gave Luke a cold nce, ¡°If she lose a single hair in Olympus Group, I will tear you apart.¡± Luke felt a pain in his cheeks, and was keenly aware that the mood of Osvaldo did not seem to be good. Was it because his wife had not received his bride price? Is the bride price that important now that she¡¯s married to him? Luke spat inwardly, but under the oppressive gaze of absolute power, he seemed to goad without hesitation and said with a smile, ¡°She is your beloved wife, who would dare to give her the slightest bit of grief within Creephia?¡± In response, he was greeted by the sound of a door mming from across the room. In the castle gardens, two rows of imposing ck-d men stood solemnly. A reserved and powerful man in ck stepped out, stepped into his car and left. *** Selena put on her headphones and elegantly straightened her skirt, her voice soft with a smile, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Owned by N?velDrama.Org. The low voice of Osvaldo came through the phone, ¡°Where are you?¡± Selena froze, followed by a faint warmth in her heart. Like was his man, so she guesses he was worried that she would be given a hard time by the concern. She left without driving. He was worried about her. After all, Creephia is a city that is not at all friendly to Selena. Selena stood up with the lime water in her hand and stepped on her high heels in the direction of the Olympus Group, her lips carried a smile, ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Osvaldo said okay, ¡°Let know if you need help.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Selena removed her headphones and was just about to walk towards the Olympus Group when a luxury car suddenly blocked in front of her. In the car sat a glorious man and woman, the man handsome, the woman delicate, looking like a loving couple. Selena crumpled the paper cup in her hand into a ball and casually threw it into the rubbish bin at the roadside. Leah looked at Selena worriedly and asked with concern, ¡°Are you alright, Sis? Where have you been staying these past few days? Mum is very worried about you, she has called you many times and you haven¡¯t answered, Dominic, let¡¯s take my sister home.¡± She said, tugging at Dominic with her hand, her eyes rippling with watery mist looking at him, full of pleading. Dominic looked at Selena and narrowed his eyes slightly. In fact, in the past few days, he had been sending people to look for Selena in private. Even if he did not care about how Selena was doing, it would be a lie to say that he was not impressed by the twenty percent of shares in her hands. But she had not been found. Dominic indifferently swept Selena a nce, even though he wanted to listen to her mother and be somewhat kind to her for the time being, the habit he had cultivated for a long time still made him subconsciously utter sarcastically, ¡°She may not care for our help, why bother with it?¡± Leah bit her lip, ¡°But my sister is alone and stranded, she grew up spoiled and can¡¯t do anything, she definitely can¡¯t find a job-¡± Just as she said this, she was suddenly interrupted byughter, ¡°How do you know Lady Selena can¡¯t find a job?¡± Selena raised her head, looked at the man who had suddenly appeared. Luke¡¯s thin red lips hooked in an enchanting arc, ¡°Lady Selena, a whole bunch of people from Olympus Group are waiting for you, why are you here to seek for peace and quiet?¡± Selena smiled, ¡°I have an injury, I can¡¯t take up my post for now, Mr. Jordan, please forgive me.¡± Leah¡¯s expression froze as her eyes became startled and uncertain. There is no one in Creephia who does not know Luke. Especially when he is the number one enemy of the the Riddle family and the Walson family in the mall! She spoke softly, her tone taking on a few icy tones as she said with a smile, ¡°Mr. Jordan, are you mistaken about something? My sister is Selena Riddle, she is young and doesn¡¯t know anything, you won¡¯t get any benefit at all from inviting her into Olympus Group, if only to see the Riddle family¡¯s joke, there is absolutely no need.¡± On the surface, these words look dignified and decent, defending Selena in every way, but they are sinister in intent. She was telling Luke that Selena, whose surname is Riddle, and the Riddle family is the deadly rival of Olympus Group. Chapter 11 Chapter 11 At the same time, she is warning Selena that Luke is only using her to fight the Riddle family, and that she remains a roadside trash, not worth mentioning. Selena stood beside Luke and looked straight at Leah with a faint smile, ¡°Leah, can you be any bitchier?¡± Leah¡¯s reddened eyes immediately burst into more tears, ¡°Sis, I¡¯m doing this for your own good.¡± Selena cut off her words, her eyes filled with ice cold, if there was a deep meaning. ¡°Whether I am a fool or not, you know better than everyone, what, scared?¡± She cocked her head, a yful, icy smile pulling at the corners of her mouth, ¡°I haven¡¯t even started and you¡¯re already scared, how can you yter on?¡± Leah¡¯s face turned white at the sarcasm and as she was just about to speak, Dominic smoked a cigarette and looked at Selena who didn¡¯t even give him a nce from the beginning to the end, his eyes narrowed slightly and he spoke out in annoyance, ¡°Enough, Leah, she wants to degrade herself, why do you have to be a good person in vain? She deserves to die out there!¡± Leah said softly and aggrievedly, ¡°But my sister is alone and stranded, she is easy to be cheated, in case she makes a big trouble in the future and involve the Riddle family and the Walson family¡± Luke gave a sneer, ¡°Miss Riddle, you think too highly of you.¡± Leah looked at the man, reserved and voluptuous, and gritted her teeth in hatred. Luke¡¯s lips hooked, ¡°If I want to deal with the Riddle family and the Walson family, I will just need to give an order, do I need to use a woman who was swept away? Do you think I¡¯m as shameless as you?¡± He looked at Dominic whose brow was furrowed, with a few hints of interest under his eyes. ¡°Also, I am not this blind-eyed Mr. Walson, so it is better to say this to the man beside you.¡± When he finished, he stepped aside and made a graceful ¡°please¡± gesture, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Lady Selena.¡± Selena admired Leah¡¯s pale face for a moment, smiledzily and turned to leave in a leisurely manner. Leah looked at her back with a sinister look in her eyes and clenched her fists. Dominic¡¯s thick eyebrows were furrowed deeply, ¡°What made Selena enter Olympus Group? And why does Luke think so highly of her?¡± Leah lowered her eyebrows, her face covered with worry, and said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault, my sister left home with nothing on her, she doesn¡¯t even have a ce to live, in case she degrades herself and follows the example of those women who don¡¯t love themselves and go to extremes.¡± Dominic remembered Luke¡¯s reputation as a ¡°yboy¡±, his face was sullen, ¡°Selena, what a bitch!¡± Selena walked to the car and turned to Luke with a faint smile, ¡°Thanks a lot, Mr. Jordan, I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Luke personally pulled open the car door, smiling, ¡°Lady Selena, let tell me know what you need in the future, and for the sake of my life, please don¡¯t run around.¡± If she was bullied on his turf, Osvaldo would definitely me on him. Selena looked at the warning and coldness under Luke¡¯s eyes, knowing clearly that he was worried that she would be sad because of Dominic and Leah, she exined, ¡°People who havepletely be the past are not qualified to make me sad.¡± Selena, who could be hurt by that pair of scum and bitch, was already dead. To the current Selena, they were just enemies. A brilliant light shed in Luke¡¯s eyes, and a smile grew on his face, pleased with Selena¡¯s perceptiveness and decisiveness. If, having been hurt to this extent, she is still coupled up with Dominic and refuses to take a hard hand, then she is not worthy of Osvaldo. How could such a noble man be a spare tire for other men? Even if Osvaldo loved her, he would never allow such a thing to happen. Selena leaned over and got into the car, drove back to the castle. Just as she walked into the living room, the old butler greeted her with a big smile and handed her an expensive jewellery box, ¡°This was delivered this morning, young madam, see if you like it, let them redo it if you don¡¯t.¡± Selena opened the lid of the box. A delicate ne was seen lying quietly on the precious velvet, carved in the shape of a star, glowing with a light of understated luxury. It is the blue jewel. Selena¡¯s eyes lit up with an unconcealed expression of fondness, ¡°I like it, thank you, Hugo.¡± She brought the ne upstairs, put it away in a drawer, rested for a moment, got up and went into the study. She knew too little about the entertainment world, and it was not easy to find a heroine character who would fit into Selena¡¯s script. Dominic returned to the Walson¡¯s. When his mother saw him walk in, she asked, ¡°Did you find Selena?¡± Dominic lifted his hand to loosen his tie and grunted coldly, ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you bring her back?¡± Mrs. Walson was angry, ¡°Have you forgotten what I told you?¡± Dominic looked high and proud, thinking of Selena¡¯s coldness today, his face was unpleasant, and he asked in disbelief, ¡°Mom, she can¡¯t get away.¡± For so many years in the past, it was Selena who pestered him, and it had be a habit for him to This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org. call on her and wave her away. As long as he gave her good look, Selena woulde back to him every time. In Dominic¡¯s heart, it was just him dumping Selena. It was absolutely impossible for Selena to disobey him. Mrs. Walson was very dissatisfied with her son¡¯s obstinacy and heavily pped the table, snorting, ¡°You really think Selena won¡¯t be angry with you, don¡¯t you? Since you repudiated your marriage, has she evere to you of her own ord? Once a woman¡¯s heart is dead, she can be much more ruthless than a man. If you continue to get close to Leah, and when the twenty percent of shares be someone else¡¯s, you will cry!¡± Seeing that Mrs. Walson was really angry, Dominic frowned and said in a deep voice, ¡°Mom, I know, I¡¯ll go find her tomorrow.¡± When Osvaldo returned home in the evening, he was told by the maid that Selena had spent the afternoon in the study and had note out for dinner until now. Osvaldo lifted his steps upstairs, gently pushed open the door of the study and found the sleeping Selena on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. In the warm yellow light, the young girl¡¯s slender, soft body is curled up, her hands are resting regrly on the side of her face, and her face is tinged with sweetness. Half-read book was scattered on the carpet. Osvaldo walked silently to the girl, half crouched down and gazed down at the delicate and pretty face. She did not sleep soundly, and seemed to have nightmares, her brow furrowed, her soft red lips bitten white, but no sound ever came out Osvaldo leaned over and dropped a gentle kiss between her eyebrows, saying gently, ¡°It¡¯s okay, sleep well.¡± Whatever her nightmare was, it will end now. Her family did not protect her, her biological father did not love her, he will be there for her! Chapter 12 Chapter 12 He stretched out his long, strong arms and lifted the sleeping woman from the sofa, to return to the bedroom. This was originally his bedroom. When Selena came, it became the ce where she lived. He gentlyid Selena on the bed, bent down to help her take off her shoes and cover up the quilt, his long and slender fingers slid over her beautiful face, his dark eyes revealed a hint of suppressed aggression, his voice raspy, ¡°Good night.¡± Got to give the girl time to settle in gradually. If he scares her off, it will be his lost. 3 The next day, Selena drove to Olympus Group on time, but outside the main gate, she was stopped by Dominic. Selena, who was originally in quite a good mood, was instantly affected by the sight of Dominic and said in a cold voice, ¡°Get out of the way!¡± Dominic thought that if he took the initiative toe to Selena, Selena must becent, but he did not expect that beautiful face to be full of coldness and boredom. Thinking of Mrs. Walson¡¯s warning, Dominic suppressed the depression in his heart and tried to soften his expression and voice, ¡°Selena, let¡¯s talk.¡± Selena¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile, ¡°I don¡¯t think that there is anything to talk about between me and you, Mr. Walson.¡± When she finished, she walked around him, stepped on her heels and was about to leave. Dominic was anxious and raised his hand to grab her, Selena dodged his hand, took off the sunsses on her face and abruptly coldened her voice, ¡°This is Olympus Group, not the Walson family, if you dare to act with the slightest disrespect towards me again, I will have to call the security guards!¡± Dominic observed the girl opposite him and found that her¡¯s expression was nothing but indifference and disgust. His heart was inexplicably a bit unpleasant, he said sullenly, ¡°Selena, don¡¯t think that Luke is really treating you well, he just eyes on your beauty and wants to use you to fight the Riddle family!¡± Selena inclined her head, the corners of her lips blossoming into a seductive smile, ¡°What does it matter to you how Mr. Jordan treats me, Mr. Walson? What qualifications do you have to meddle in my affairs?¡± Dominic stared at her smile, his gaze drifted for a moment, and he didn¡¯t resent Mrs. Walson¡¯s proposal so much, ¡°We grew up together after all, I don¡¯t want to watch you being used by others. Selena, I¡¯ll give you one more chance, get married with me, you can still be the young madam of the Walson family.¡± Selena sneered, ¡°Get married? Howe you have forgotten what you said before? You will never marry me in this life, but now you want to get married with me?¡± ¡°That¡¯s your fault, if you hadn¡¯t done such a scandalous thing, why would I have said that?¡± Dominic couldn¡¯t show a trace of guilt on his face and said with a straight face, ¡°You know your current reputation in your own heart, so the news of our marriage can¡¯t be made public.¡± Selena stared at him motionlessly. When Dominic met her cold, clear eyes, his heart palpitated slightly, and he had the feeling that his inner nastiness had been seen through by her. To hide his weakness, he added gently, ¡°But don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll treat you well.¡± This was the softest and nicest thing he had ever said to Selena. Selena revealed a delicate smile, her pleasant voice was ironic, ¡°Dominic, what makes you think that I would be willing to get married with you? In terms of looks, in terms of power and wealth, in terms of drive, you are no match for Mr. Jordan.¡± Not to mention Osvaldo. Dominic was not even qualified topete with Osvaldo. This is the most ufortable thing for a man topare himself to others, especially a man who thinks highly of himself. Dominic was almost furious, but when he thought of Selena¡¯s twenty percent shareholding, he could barely hold down his anger. He suppressed his temper, ¡°Selena, I know you¡¯re angry with me for repudiating the marriage in public, but think about what you¡¯ve done. With your current reputation, there won¡¯t be any men in the whole of Creephia who will be willing to ept you except for me.¡± He was saying that she should be grateful that he was willing to marry her, instead of refusing. Selena tilted her head slightly, her eyebrows furrowed, and from Dominic¡¯s perspective, she seemed to be holding back and struggling. As expected, a momentter, Selena spoke out, her voice not fluctuating in the slightest, ¡°I can marry All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. you, but Dominic, you must at least show some sincerity.¡± Dominic sighed in relief, a sneer passing through his eyes. As expected, she was still the same Selena who was submissive to him, and no matter how she was treated, she could be immediately cajoled if he said a few soft words. His expression returned to condescension as he stared at Selena¡¯s face and asked, ¡°What do you want?¡± With the Riddle¡¯s 20 per cent as a prerequisite, he didn¡¯t mind being generous to her when it came to money. Selena chuckled, her gaze cold, Tomorrow is your grandfather¡¯s birthday banquet, I want you to publicly rify at the birthday banquet that Leah is a mistress, she deliberately seduced you and tarnished my reputation in the first ce!¡± Dominic froze and gave a cold expression, ¡°No!¡± Once that incident became public and Leah became a mistress, his reputation would have to be ruined along with it. Selena¡¯s expression did not show the slightest bit of disappointment as she turned to walk away, her clear, cold mocking voice smashing into Dominic¡¯s ears ¡°Dominic, don¡¯t think too highly of yourself, I am the rightful firstdy of the Riddle family, as long as I get married, the entire Riddle family will be mine, by then, the Riddle family will merge with Olympus Group and will dominate Creephia, you and your Walson family are nothing by then Dominic¡¯s face changed drastically and he raised his head, staring at Selena¡¯s back with a deadly stare. It seemed somewhat unbelievable that such heartless and desperate words woulde out of Selena¡¯s mouth. She used to speak, even in front of him, in a whisper, lest he might be even the slightest bit upset. Now she can actually be sarcastic without changing her face. When the Riddle family merges with the Olympus Group, what happens to the Walson family will certainly not be good It was only at this moment that he was shocked to realise that Selena really hated him now. She had revenge on him! He looked at Selena¡¯s gradually distant back, and at this moment, he had a clear and firm perception. Selena really doesn¡¯t care about him anymore! He could no longer coax Selena back with the same way of the past. Dominic¡¯s heart ached slightly, suppressing the coldness that inexplicably flooded his heart, he clenched his fists. It looks like if he wants to win back Selena and get that twenty percent of shares, he will have to sacrifice Leah! Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Top floor office. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Luke watched Selena reject Dominic, the corners of her lips picked up a smile, fished his mobile phone out of his pocket and dialed a number. ¡°Mr. Jordan!¡± A cold, respectful voice came from other line. Luke¡¯s tone was cold and yful, ¡®Remember that Mr. Walson¡¯s face, and forbid him from entering Olympus Group in the future, got it?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± As Luke had just hung up the phone, there was a knock at the door. ¡°Come in.¡± The door was pushed open and Selena walked in with a smile, looking indeed unaffected, ¡°Good morning, Mr. Jordan¡± Luke stared at her face. It would be a lie to say that he did not have doubts in his mind. Selena¡¯s obsession with Dominic is well known throughout Creephia, the number of ridiculous things she has done for that man is innumerable, and it is only a matter of a few days before she is once again faced with that man¡¯s offer of peace, and she is able to be indifferent. Not even a hint of sadness or resentment can be seen. Unbelievable. However, the more indifferent Selena was to Dominic, the more beneficial it would be to Osvaldo. Although it¡¯s very degrading topare with such a man, but the woman with whom Osvaldo got married was Selena. The corners of Luke¡¯s lips raised into a smile, ¡°Good morning, Lady Selena.¡± He walked to the table, picked up a stack of information and handed it to Selena, ¡°This is a group of female stars with the best acting skills in the entertainment industry, you can pick and choose.¡± Selena took it, walked to the sofa and sat down, slightly lowing her head, her fingers flipped open the information. The warm sunlight shone through the window and fell on her face, giving her a hint of warm light all over. Luke stirred his coffee gracefully, observing the beautiful woman with pure admiration, and then gave a ¡°tsk¡±. What a good-looking woman! Selena focused on reading it, circled a few names with a pen, handed the information to Luke, smiling slightly, ¡°Tell them toe for an interview the day after tomorrow.¡± Luke instructed his assistant to contact the actresses, lowered his eyes to look at the coffee in his cup and asked, ¡°Why not tomorrow?¡± Selena arched her eyebrows, ¡°I have something to do tomorrow, thank you, Mr. Jordan.¡± Script and television are two different things. Selena is not a professional director, so she stays at Olympus Group for the rest of the afternoon, asking professional directors questions about filming. It was not until the evening that Selena dragged her somewhat tired feet and returned to the castle. Osvaldo was back earlier than her. When he was told that Selena had not yete back, he was about to go out and look for her, but just as he turned around, he saw Selena walk in. Osvaldo walked over to her and took her into his arms, letting her sit on hisp, his eyes fell on her face and his tone was cold, ¡°Don¡¯te home sote in the future.¡± Selena froze for a moment before reacting that he was caring for her, tilting her head and smiling, ¡°It¡¯s because I forgot the time, I¡¯ll be back earlier next time.¡± Osvaldo circled her in his arms, and his long, strong hands, crossing the slender spine, pressed against the back of her neck. The warm, smooth skin, by the slightest touch, sent a hint of indefinable meaning. Selena felt that their posture too intimate, and was about to push him away, but found that slender hand gently massaged her neck. There was a man¡¯s voice close to her ear, ¡°Not feeling well here?* Selena¡¯s hand pushed, the vital point was controlled by a strange man, she surprisingly did not have the slightest sense of crisis. Her brow furrowed, suppressing the oddity in her mind. Before, Selena had been writing stories for a long time, coupled with her depressed mood, she was rarely happy, and her health was not good She had been keeping her head down all afternoon today and was not feeling well. She didn¡¯t expect such a small perversion to be seen by this man. Osvaldo leaned over her shoulder, his sensual lips brushing her dark hair, his long, slender fingers were extremely skillful, helping to ease her tired nerves. For girls, the cervical spine is not only a vital point, it is a very vulnerable area. Having never had such intimate contact with men before, Selena¡¯s face was slightly flushed. The man¡¯s strong,pelling scent invaded her body. Selena was somewhat at a loss when he teased her so much, avoided his close lips and whispered, ¡°I¡¯m fine, I¡¯m just hungry.¡± Osvaldo suppressed the restlessness deep inside his heart, his dark eyes staring at the back of her neck. The girl in his arms was in shyness, nervousness, panic and even some fear. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. With a lowugh, Osvaldo withdrew his hand and, with great gentlemanly grace, pulled her up from his arms and led her towards the table. The movements were gentle and natural, as if the intense aggression of a moment ago had never been present. Selena gathered her emotions and sat down at the dining table, staring at Osvaldo¡¯s perfect and delicate face. He was in ck, looked dignified, despite his expressionlessness, he still possessed an obsessive magic, like the king of the night. There was no need for such a magnificent and stern man to have any hidden thoughts about her, an orphan girl. Selena shook her head and put aside the distracting thoughts in her mind, bowing her head and eating quietly. After dinner, Selena said good night to him and went upstairs to bed. Osvaldo stared at her back. After a moment, he raised his lips and his voice was so cold, ¡°Tell them that tomorrow¡¯s operation is cancelled! I don¡¯t see anyone!¡± The following day. The Walson family is one of the most powerful families in Creephia, and the 80th birthday banquet for Cyril Walson can be described as a gathering of powerful people, with celebrities and big shots everywhere, making the scene as extravagant as possible. In the banqueting hall, which can amodate thousands of people, the sound of lively and elegant music yed slowly. Dominic was standing in the corner of the corridor on the second floor, dressed in a high quality custom-made suit, with a tall and straight figure and a handsome face, showing the aristocratic son¡¯s arrogance and dazzle in his movement. It¡¯s just that at the moment, he has a deep frown on his face, which makes that charm somewhat less attractive. Mrs. Walson gathered her shawl and came out of the room, seeing this expression on her son¡¯s face, she grunted coldly. ¡°Has Selena arrived?¡± Dominic nced downstairs and said indifferently, ¡°Not yet.¡± Mrs. Walson was dissatisfied, with warnings in her eyes, ¡°Dominic, you have already disgraced the Walson family by repudiating your marriage in public, if anything else goes wrong today and displeases your grandfather¡­ Chapter 14 Chapter 14 When Cyril was mentioned, Dominic¡¯s face finally took on more gravity. Although Cyril is old, the Walson family was built by him, and when he was young, he was a great figure in the shopping mall, and he was in sole charge of power. The Walson family has many children and grandchildren, and the heir has not yet been decided. Thest time he ruined his marriage with the Riddle family in public, it was Selena who did such a scandalous thing in the first ce, put on any man, it would be impossible to ept, so Cyril only turned a blind eye to him disgracing the Walson family so much. If he dares to make any more scandals at Cyril¡¯s birthday banquet and ruin his reputation, he will definitely make Cyril dislike him. Dominic took a deep breath and said to Mrs. Walson, ¡°Mom, Selena asked me to rify in public that it was Leah who seduced me and ndered her in the first ce before she would marry with me.¡± Mrs. Walson¡¯s eyes were extremely cold, ¡°So, you¡¯re telling me that you¡¯re going to choose to give up twenty percent of the Riddle family¡¯s shares for the sake of Leah¡¯s reputation?¡± Dominic wrinkled his eyebrows, suppressing the irritation inside him. Damn Selena, to mention such an annoying condition to him! ¡°Selena has been driven out by the Riddle family, except for that twenty percent of shares, the rest will definitely be Leah¡¯s in the future.¡± Mrs. Walson grunted coldly. In the final analysis, Dominic¡¯s heart is still biased towards Leah and he can¡¯t let that woman suffer the slightest bit. She gathered the shawl around her shoulders, looked at the luxurious and elegant banquet main hall downstairs, and sneered, ¡°If you can coax Selena to get married with you, you canpensate Leah any way you want.¡± Selena¡¯s kind and timid nature has almost taken root in the hearts of these two, and as long as Dominic gives her sweetness, she will forget everything before and is eager to give him her whole heart. When Dominic thought of Selena¡¯s cold gaze, he always felt that something was not quite right. But on second thought, before the marriage was ruined, Selena¡¯s obsession with him raised more than boredom inside his heart. How can a person¡¯s nature really change? In the final analysis, it was just another ploy to get his attention. During the interval when the two were talking upstairs, the Riddle family arrived in full costume. Leah was dressed in a snow-white strapless dress, clear and delicate, slim and graceful, moving to the extreme. The moment she arrived, she attracted many awestruck and envious eyes. With a smile in her eyes, she looked at ease as she started conversation with the many powerful people. It seemed that she noticed Dominic¡¯s gaze and she raised her head, smiling softly at him. Dominic looked at her innocent smile, and at the thought of Selena¡¯s condition of wanting to maliciously hurt her, there was more than disgust in his eyes. Although what happened at the beginning, strictly speaking, was indeed Leah¡¯s fault in the first ce, but it¡¯s not like Leah did it on purpose. Selena wants to ruin her reputation when she herself is shameless, it¡¯s vicious! ¡°This is the Riddle family¡¯s eldestdy, right? What a good-looking girl!¡± ¡°Born into wealth, beautiful and talented, I heard she even won third ce in an international perfume ¡°Amazing!¡± Leah¡¯s eyes showed pride as she lifted her chin. The words of admiration and praise from all around her greatly satisfied her overwhelming vanity. She enjoyed theplimentary or jealous, smiling slightly and feeling nothing but exhration. For the past ten years or so, she has been rejected and despised by these high society celebrities and daughters because of her status as an illegitimate daughter, But today she stands here, star-studded, in the limelight, much envied, signalling to all that she is the only daughter of the Riddle family. As for Selena, she has instead be a notorious and disgusting object of everyone¡¯s scorn. And just as the most Leah was gettingcent, there was a sudden burst of exmation from the doorway, drawing everyone to turn their heads and look over. All of them have been specting in their minds which big shot has arrived. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, a woman slowly appeared in front of people. It was a very young woman, with a smile on her lips, a warm look on her face, in a long blue dress that reflected her smoothplexion, long, slightly curly hair that covered her back. Elegant, regal and full of style. At first nce, almost everyone was choked by the sense of awe that greeted them. At the moment of her appearance, the lively and noisy scene seemed to have all the air taken out of it. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Everyone¡¯s eyes went straight to the wless woman. It was only then that a session of subtle voices rang out after a long time ¡°Who is she?¡± ¡°She¡¯s so beautiful.¡± ¡°There is actually such an imposing and mboyant woman in the city.¡± Leah stood at the entrance of the hall, caught off guard when she saw Selena walk in, and the smile on her face froze For the past ten years or so, she had been dedicated to robbing Selena, so she spotted the two green diamonds on her neck and forehead at almost the first moment The diamond that was bought by a mysterious man for half a billion! Shock, jealousy and resentment flickered from Leah¡¯s eyes, eventually turning thick and gloomy She felt the shock caused by Selena¡¯s beauty and watched as each and every man who was and they could no longer see a single bit of her. Leah¡¯s jealous heart was aching. Did Selena think she could erase her notorious past by revealing her face? Leah hooked her lips and walked over with a step, taking the lead in breaking the silence with an affectionate smile on her face, ¡°Selena, you¡¯re here¡± She walked closer, but lowered her voice and stared at Selena with a look so calm that it was creepy, asking in a low voice, ¡°Selena, how did this diamonde to be in your possession?¡± Selena raised her eyes and looked at this woman who was soft and beautiful on the outside but a snake scorpion on the inside. Leah has been like this since she was a child, but whatever Selena likes, she will steal it by all means, even if she has to pay any price for it. She observed Leah¡¯s jealous expression and felt that this gift was not a bad one to receive from Osvaldo. Selena smiled faintly, her fingers pinching the diamond and ying with it, ¡°Is it pretty? Are you jealous? How does it feel to have something you love and now wear it on me?¡± Her eyes were more than mocking, ¡°I thought how much Dominic loved you, knowing that you liked it, he didn¡¯t even fight for you.¡± Leah clenched her fist, she stared at Selena, with a smile on her face, her eyes seemed to leap out with countless poisonous snakes, twisting Selena all over her body. 2/2 Chapter 15 Chapter 15 The group of people who were close by were shocked by Leah¡¯s address ¡°Selena¡±. Selena? The Riddle family¡¯s daughter, who had just been thrown out of the house for repudiating her marriage? How is this possible? They were all a bit overwhelmed because they were so shocked. Some people who were far away, not knowing Selena¡¯s identity, whispered. ¡°Whichdy is this? All the men in Creephia will go crazy now.¡± ¡°I just thought Leah looked good,pared to this young madam, Leah looks like amoner.¡± ¡°Pfft, is Leah stupid? With such a huge difference in looks and temperament, she actually dares to take the initiative toe up as a background.¡± ¡°I initially thought Leah had a good temperament, but when she stood in front of thisdy, she instantly turned grey and had no light at all.¡± Leah heard the whispers that emerged, and her nails dug deep into her hands before she could barely maintain her decorum. She gazed into Selena¡¯s smiling eyes, and her heart was burning with spiteful jealousy as her eyes turned cold. She hates it when people say she¡¯s not better than Selena! The women were mostly jealous, while the men, on the other hand, had faces of fascination and amazement. Although Dominic had long known how good-looking Selena was, he was still shocked at the moment when he looked at the perfectly beautiful woman standing downstairs. When he had seen Selena reveal her true face twice before, she still had gauze wrapped around her head and her face was sickly pale, but today, her face was rosy, she was dressed up in makeup and decorations, and she walked slowly, her grace and elegance overpowering all the famous girls in Creephia. Mrs. Walson was not very surprised, looking at her son¡¯s bewildered eyes, she sneered, ¡°I told you long ago, Selena is better than Leah, you don¡¯t even think what is her mother¡¯s origin!¡± Unfortunately, Dominic has been so brainwashed by Leah that for more than ten years, she is the only one in his eyes and heart. And Selena had, indeed, been useless before, and now it was toote. Dominic suppressed the slightplication that spilled out of his heart, raised his steps to go downstairs. Selena admired Leah¡¯s cynical eyes for a moment, and smiled full of disdain, ¡°See, without all those schemes and tricks, I don¡¯t do anything, just by standing towards here, you¡¯ve already been ignored.¡± After she finished, she heaved herself away from Leah and stepped on her high heels to walk inside. And at that very moment, Leah grabbed her wrist, raised her voice and said affectionately, ¡°Sis, I know Owned by N?velDrama.Org. I was wrong, I¡¯m so happy that you¡¯re here today.¡± At the same moment, her hand with long fingernails was recklessly grabbing towards Selena¡¯s chest. What she couldn¡¯t have, she would rather destroy than let Selena get it! Selena, who had been prepared for this, sneered and dodged to the side, at the same time, raising her hand, she pped Leah¡¯s face fiercely. In full view of the crowd, Leah received a heavy p on the face Her face tilted to the side and her eyes widened, as if she couldn¡¯t believe it, Selena actually dared to hit her on this asion? She reacted extremely quickly, and with a flick of her body, she was ready to fall to the ground. But before she could act, a thin heel stepped on her foot and crushed it hard on the back of her foot! ¡°Ah!¡± Leah let out a miserable cry, her originally elegant and delicate movements were not maintained, her body lost its weight and plunged towards the drinks tower on the other side. There was a loud tter and the beautifully decorated champagne tower shattered into a heap. In full view of everyone, Leah slumped in a pile of broken ss crumbs, spilled all over by various coloured drinks and liquor, in a wretched and humiliating position, on the ground. She was covered in bruises, staring dead at the red carpet, shaking with anger, her eyes almost spilling out with the sinister look in them Selena! This time themotion was so loud that the eyes of everyone on the scene subconsciously looked over At the sight of this scene, the crowd froze. In dead silence, a clear and nice voice, with augh, was ringing in everyone¡¯s ears, ¡°You have yed the same trick for more than ten years, and note up with something new, even if you are not tired, I am tired of seeing it.¡± Everyone looked in disbelief at the woman who was elegantly holding a ss of red wine and standing with a smile on her face, and they don¡¯t know whether they were stunned or what, but they were all a bit speechless. In the dead silence, two voices in shock and anger stood out clearly, ¡°Leah!¡± Molly and Dominic, one from the hall and the other from the stairway, rushed to Leah together. Dominic helped Leah up from the ground, seeing her covered in wretchedness and her painful face turning swollen, he red at Selena, ¡°Selena, how dare you!¡± Molly¡¯s eyes turned red with distress and she pped over, ¡°Bastard!¡± Selena took a step back and Molly¡¯s p fell short. Selena hooked her lips into a smile, her gaze cold and seeping, ¡°Molly, you actually dare to insult the Riddle family¡¯s real firstdy in public, you really think highly of yourself¡± Molly¡¯s eyes were livid and as she was just about to speak, she was pulled by Leah¡¯s hand, ¡°Mom, I fell down by ident, it¡¯s not Selena¡¯s fault.¡± She endured the pain and stood up, pushing Dominic away, the high heel marks on the top of her shoes were distinct. Her eyes were red and she hissed in pain, smiling at Selena, ¡°Selena, it¡¯s good to see you here.¡± This is Leah, who always knows how to use the advantage and pull the hatchet for her. Selena smiled in an overbearing manner, ¡°But I don¡¯t want to see this hypocritical and ugly face of yours at all. If Mr. Walson hadn¡¯t personallye to the entrance of Olympus Group¡¯s gate to beg me, I wouldn¡¯t havee.¡± Leah and Dominic¡¯s faces both twisted. The others in the hall finally came back to their senses when they saw this scene. ¡°She¡¯s Selena? That seconddy who was kicked out from the Riddle family, didn¡¯t they say she was ugly?¡± ¡°Unbelievable, she¡¯s actually that legendary, foolish second daughter of the Riddle family.¡± ¡°Hmph, even good look can¡¯t disguise her vicious nature!¡± ¡°She really doesn¡¯t have any self-awareness, how dare she show up at the Walson? She can¡¯t be so naive to think that the Walson family will still recognize her as their daughter-inw, can she? If I were her, I would have jumped off a building long ago. How can such a woman still have the nerve to live in the world?¡± ¡°I heard that she was photographed by the media, that¡¯s why Dominic canceled the wedding and she kicked out by the Riddle family. Having such a daughter and fianc¨¦e is really a family misfortune!¡± When Dominic saw that though Leah was bullied, yet she still looked generous and kind, a surge of anger went straight to his head, he looked at Selena with fury and shouted, ¡°Apologize to Leah!¡± Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Selena smiled faintly, ¡°Apologize, who is she?¡± It was clear that her expression did not show the slightest hint of arrogance, but it gave the impression of light contempt and mockery. Dominic pushed away Leah¡¯s hand that was blocking her and his eyes were shady, ¡°Selena!* Selena was holding red wine, looking down on the three people on the floor from above, she was smiling, ¡°I think you really needs to go wash your eyes, Mr. Walson, she-¡± She pointed to Leah. ¡°An illegitimate daughter born to a mistress, the culprit who pissed off my mother to death, now dominates my father, my home, my status as first daughter of the Riddle family, and my fianc¨¦.¡± ¡°You actually want me, the victim, to apologize to her? Dominic, are you really a pig, not even have a brain?¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Leah leaned weakly in Dominic¡¯s arms, teardrops on her face, and shuddered in anger at the words. When Dominic heard such humiliation, his face turned pale, ¡°You are a madman, you don¡¯t know reflect on yourself, you will always just push your mistakes onto others, you deserve to have no one like you, Selena, how can you be so shameless?¡± As soon as Dominic¡¯s words fell, a number of women¡¯s voices echoed from the scene. ¡°Mr. Walson is right, before Lady Selena uses Lady Leah and Mr. Walson, can she exin those scandals?¡± ¡°Some one uses others of being heartless, but why doesn¡¯t she reflect on herself?¡± ¡°If youe from a bad background, you still deserve to be forgiven, if you have a bad character, then you deserve to end up with nothing.¡± Selena nced coldly at the few people who had spoken. They are alldies from the celebrity circle who are in good terms with Leah. Jealousy is in the nature of women. Especially when a notorious woman, who could be sneered at and abused in the mouths of everyone, appears in such a radiant light, the huge imbnce is enough to stir up the hostility in their hearts. It makes them want so badly to tear her expression apart, to make her a wretched mess, to see her be as pathetic and ridiculous an existence as the rumours have it. This is how Selena should be portrayed! They stood behind Leah and looked at Selena with a clear look of ill will and disdain. Selena snorted, ¡°Is it me who is shameless, or is it you scum and bitch who are too disgusting?¡± She tilted her head, her eyes full of sneers, and smiled coldly, ¡°As my fiance, you were with Leah on my birthday, you were with Leah when I was sick, and you were still with Leah when something happened to me. You are always with Leah.¡± But he begrudged Selena of his attention. ¡°You¡¯ve given her so many clothes and bags and cosmetics, what have you given me?¡± Leah took those things every day and unted them in front of Selena, leaving that girl depressed and mentally weakened at a young age, never having a happy day Selena¡¯s eyes, little by little, seeped out an icy chill, and her smile was extremely cold, ¡°My fianc¨¦ hangs out with my sister all the time, yet he still uses me of being insensitive for not taking the initiative to give way, heh-¡± ¡°Dominic, ask yourself, do you have that qualification to righteously use me or not?¡± Dominic met her cold eyes that looked down on him, and his face changed, with a vague hint of weakness at being exposed. Leah¡¯s face was full of panic, sniffling, seemingly suffering from great aggression and humiliation, ¡°It¡¯s not like that, Selena, Mr. Walson and I are always innocent, we didn¡¯t do anything wrong to you.¡± As soon as Dominic saw that she was covered in bruises, the hint of weakness instantly disappeared, and he angrily used, ¡°I did not have any rtionship with Leah, she is a gentle and kinddy, unlike you!¡± Selena¡¯s gaze turned extremely cold as she said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯d rather go find a random person than you, your fianc¨¦ is nothing to me!¡± Dominic¡¯s face twisted, ¡°Get out!¡± Selena gave him a cold nce, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m happy toe here?¡± With that, she turned and walked away. Leah watched her back as she was forced away in disarray, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile. Dominic froze for a moment when he saw Selena turn to leave. Before he could react, there was a sudden angry flourish of fury in his ears, ¡°Dominic!¡± Dominic looked up and met Mrs. Walson¡¯s furious face. His face became stiff. Mrs. Walson was trembling all over. She was just one stepte and he was fooled by Leah¡¯s words. How could she have given birth to such a stupid son? Mrs. Walson pointed in the direction Selena left and looked angrily at Dominic, ¡°Go and apologize to Selena!¡± Leah¡¯s smile froze for a moment. When she opened her mouth to speak, Mrs. Walson looked at Selena¡¯s back as she gradually walked away and gave Leah a cold look, ¡°Leah, Dominic and Selena still have a marriage contract between them, do you think it is appropriate for you to stay in her fiance¡¯s arms in front of Selena?¡± Leah¡¯s face lost all its blood in a sh, and she stood shakily in ce, shaking off Dominic¡¯s hand in a panic, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mrs. Walson, I didn¡¯t, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± Dominic gave her a pitying nce, with some traces of tolerance under his eyes, and turned his head to look at Selena, shouting somewhat impatiently, ¡°Selena, stand still!¡± In the past, even if he had gone too far, as long as he opened his mouth, Selena would turn around and But this time, Selena walked away with determination, and even when she heard Mrs. Walson¡¯s voice reprimanding Leah, she did not look back. Dominic¡¯s face gradually sank. Mrs. Walson watched Selena walk further and further away, and it dawned on her that the twenty percent of shares that had disappeared. She was ruthless and raised her hand, and pped towards Dominic¡¯s face heavily. Before Dominic could react, he was met with a hard p on the face. There was a loud thud. Dominic¡¯s face was struck to the side, and a five-finger mark clearly emerged on his face. Not only was Leah frozen, but the entire banquet hall was stunned by the p. After Mrs. Walson hit Dominic, she scrambled to catch up with Selena, ¡°Selena, I helped you teach that bastard a lesson, I know it¡¯s all his fault, please give him a chance.¡± Mrs. Walson went after her and tried to grab Selena¡¯s arm, but Selena dodged it. Her face was cold and she looked at Mrs. Walson with a sneer, ¡°Mrs. Walson, your son is a scum bag and I wouldn¡¯t want him.¡± Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Mrs. Walson was angry with Dominic, but when she heard her son being belittled by Selena, her brows furrowed, which showed her displeasure. But almost in the blink of an eye, she pushed down the slight displeasure and her face broke into its usual gentle smile ¡°Selena, I know it¡¯s Dominic who has wronged you, but today is Cyril¡¯s birthday party, he¡¯s considered to have watched you grow up, as a junior, you should stay.¡± Selena¡¯s icy gaze swept over Mrs. Walson¡¯s face and she curled her lips into a smile. ¡®Mrs. Walson, you should know that it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to stay to celebrate Cyril¡¯s birthday, but Leah won¡¯t give me the chance to stay, and your son is bent on defending her. Are you thinking that I haven¡¯t been bullied enough by them yet?¡± Mrs. Walson clenched her hand at the thought of what had just happened, barely able to hide the twist on her face. She tried to step forward to pull Selena¡¯s arm, but was once again dodged by Selena ¡°Selena.¡± Selena stood at the front door and would have walked out of the banquet hall with just one step. She looked at Mrs. Walson, her expression blurred between the light and shadows, but her voice carried a bone-chilling coolness. ¡°Mrs. Walson, although you are the elder, there are still some things that need to be said clearly. Other people don¡¯t know what kind of person l am and what kind of person Leah is, but you watch us grown up. You know it very well. Since you have already condoned your son¡¯s choice of Leah, why are you still wasting time on me?¡± And then she continued, ¡°All my things have been snatched away by Leah, now I have nothing left, what else do you want from me?¡± Hearing such sharp and perverse words from Selena, Mrs. Walson¡¯s heart sank suddenly, and her heart vaguely jumped. She stared intently into Selena¡¯s eyes, trying to see something in there. She saw nothing but calmness. In those beautiful, clear eyes, there was no longer a trace of infatuation or love for Dominic to be found. Not to mention love, she did not even see on this girl¡¯s face a trace of the pain and heartbreak of betrayal by the man she loved. In just a few days since the wedding cancetion, the girl in front of her seems to have undergone a transformation, from her appearance to her temperament, she seems to have been reborn. Mrs. Walson had always known that Selena was not unintelligent. On the contrary, ording to her mother¡¯s family background and origin, this girl was better than Leah in all aspects. She is just not as ruthless as Leah, nor is she as sophisticated and unscrupulous as her opponent. Before, when Selena was deeply in love with Dominic, even if she was partial to Leah, she would never have said it to her face. Now Selena suspected her of having ulterior motives. Mrs. Walson knows that there is only one exnation for a girl having such a transformative change- She gave up the man she once loved so much! She will no longer bend over backwards for that man, nor will she continue to hide in a corner, watching him treat another woman with the utmost care, praying for care and warmth from him, as he asionally does. Now standing before her was the one who lived only for herself, the real Miss Riddle! When Mrs. Walson realised this, she was shaking with anger and wanted to go back and p Dominic several times and choke Leah to death. If it wasn¡¯t for her calcted stunt on the night of the wedding banquet thatpletely ruined Selena, Selena wouldn¡¯t have been so extreme! Today is thest chance to have that 20 percent. As she thought of this, Mrs. Walson¡¯s face sank and her voice rose with concern so loudly that the whole room could hear it. ¡°Selena, what are you talking about? You are the future mistress of the Walson family, Leah is just a guest to the Walson family, since I am here, no one dares to kick you out!¡± Selena gave Mrs. Walson a surprised look, yfulness in her eyes. While Dominic has no brains, Mrs. Walson is a plucky and tough one. Leah, who had been secretly observing Selena, blushed steeply and asked, sniffling, her eyes red, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to drive my sister away, she hasn¡¯t been home for days, I¡¯m just concerned about her.¡± She said, looking at Dominic with tearful eyes. Usually, in this kind of situation, Dominic would surely stand out immediately and help her use Selena fiercely. But today, Dominic just stood still and gave her an apologetic andplicated look before turning his All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. head over to look at Selena. Leah lowered her eyes, her pale face filled with an aggrieved expression, her sharp nails embedded deep in her palms, her heart overflowing with anger and disbelief. What¡¯s going on? Why would Mrs. Walson turn towards Selena, and how could Dominic not help her either? While Dominic didn¡¯t say anything, thedies who had helped Leah use Selena before opened their mouths. ¡°Mrs. Walson, don¡¯t listen to Selena¡¯s nonsense, Leah was kind enough to try to bring her in, but she hit Leah and deliberately stepped on Leah, causing her to be sshed all over with wine.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, in full view of everyone, we all saw it, it was Selena who was wrong! Leah is the victim!¡± All at once, the hall was filled with the shrill usations of women in righteous indignation. Selena stood in the doorway, her eyes arrogant, her fingers hooked in a strand of dark hair, facing the many using voices, she merely hooked her lips. The men in the room were impressed. Although they knew that Selena had a notorious reputation, but her looks and temperament were truly captivating. Mrs. Walson seemed to be determined to defend Selena and looked at Leah with a cold face, ¡°Selena wouldn¡¯t hit someone for no reason, Leah, can you tell me why Selena hit you?¡± Standing beside Dominic, a young man spoke up. ¡°When Selena entered, she didn¡¯t mean to hit Leah, it was Leah herself walked over and said something to Selena.¡± Leah¡¯s face was even paler and her lips had lost their blood, and her body was shaky. ¡°Talon, what do you mean by that?¡± Dominic shouted angrily. ¡°Talon Walson!¡± Talon Walson nced at Dominic, his tone still cold, ¡°Nothing, I¡¯m just saying the fact that¡¯s there for all of us to see.¡± ¡°What Talon said is true.¡± Another man with a wine ss spoke up, looked at Selena and smiled, ¡°Selena is such a stunning beauty, all of our attention was on her at that time. It really looked quite like Leah lured Selena into hitting her.¡± Chapter 18 Chapter 18 The eyes of everyone were gathered on Leah. It seemed true. When Leah heard those voices defending Selena, her eyes surged with tears, biting her lips, looking at Selena with a look filled with a sense of vulnerability and regret, saying in a dumb voice, ¡°Selena, I know that I ruined your wedding with Mr. Walson, you hate me and will never forgive me again. But, these days, I¡¯m really worried about you.¡± At the end of the sentence, the words seemed to choke her up. The meaning of her words was a reminder of the ¡°promiscuous¡± scandal that Selena had been involved in on the night of the wedding banquet. Selena stroked her brow, said in an icy cold voice, ¡°Mrs. Walson, my time is precious, it is not for standing here watching Leah act.* Mrs. Walson took a deep breath and almost instantly made up her mind. ¡°Selena, I said that I will never let you suffer one more moment!¡± She coldly swept her eyes at Leah, ¡°Since you refuse to say anything, then I can only go and transfer the surveince, everyone will know what the truth is by then.¡± Leah¡¯s body stiffened imperceptibly, her eyes in tears, ¡°Mrs. Walson ¨C Mrs. Walson cut off her words, her eyes glowing coldly. ¡°Leah, since you say you have not wronged Selena, why should you be afraid?¡± Leah¡¯s hand on her chest slightly tightened, she sucked in her nose, tears in her tears, looking at Dominic with aggression. ¡°Dominic.¡± To a woman of Selena¡¯s notorious reputation, such an act of tant surveince would not have been a loss, but to Leah, it was obvious that she was telling everyone that Mrs. Walson was doubting her character. For a famous girl of good character, such behaviour is tantamount to humiliation. Dominic¡¯s face was gloomy as he clenched his fist slightly and met Leah¡¯s scarlet eyes. He was about to say something to stop her, but there was a cold and stern shout from Mrs. Walson, ¡°Dominic, shut up! Selena is your fiancee, if you can¡¯t remember that, get out of the Walson family!¡± Dominic¡¯s face was sullen, if his mother spoke so harshly to him in public, it must be because Selena had proposed another harsh condition! This woman is getting ahead of herself! He red coldly at Selena, but saw her standing gracefully in the doorway, not even ncing at him. Her face was full of impatience, looked as if she might have turned away at any moment if his mother hadn¡¯t held her back. Dominic¡¯s heart snapped and he realized that once Selena really turned around and left today, it would be even more difficult to get his hands on the 20 percent of the Riddle family¡¯s shares. Talon said coldly, ¡°Dominic, your mother just said that Selena is your fiancee, you don¡¯t trust your fiancee, but without even asking, you help Leah use and humiliate Selena, others will think that Leah is your love.¡± Dominic was distracted and looked coldly at his cousin, ¡°Shut up, Talon!¡± But Talon ignored him and looked at Leah, her eyes full of mockery, ¡°Leah, Selena is my cousin¡¯s fianc¨¦e, there are so many people here, you can go and cry to other people about your grievances, it¡¯s better to be more restrained towards your sister¡¯s fianc¨¦.¡± Leah¡¯s face turned white, and she bowed her head to hide the sinister look in her eyes. It was normal for Talon to be partial to Selena and dislike Leah, but she couldn¡¯t figure out what was wrong with Mrs. Walson and Dominic today Walson to defend Selena so much. Soon, the person who had been instructed by Mrs. Walson pulled up the footage of that scene from the surveince. After watching the surveince, Leah¡¯s mother Molly immediately shielded Leah behind her and looked at Selena with cold eyes, saying sharply, ¡°Mrs. Walson, did you see everything clearly? Leah really was kind enough to pull Selena in, Selena not only attacked Leah viciously, but hit her. Such a woman of vicious character, do you really want her to marry into the Walson family?¡± Mrs. Walson¡¯s face was full of coldness as she raised her voice. ¡°Molly, you are only Selena¡¯s stepmother, you are not qualified to tell her what to do, and you are not in a position to interfere in the affairs of the Walson family. Molly¡¯s face was unpleasant, shocked and puzzled, and as she was about to continue her usation indignantly, Leah stopped her Leah sucked her nose, a strong and stoic look, looking pity, shook her head to Molly, ¡°Mom, forget it, Selena should beat me, it¡¯s all my fault, I¡¯ve always felt guilty in my heart.¡± Molly said in a stern voice. ¡°Leah, you¡¯re just too kind to be bullied by that Selena all the time!¡± Selena watched the two making a show, and a smile that was cold blossomed at the corners of her lips. Mrs. Walson was afraid that Molly wouldpletely annoy Selena, who, in a fit of rage, turned away, so she raised her voice, saying, ¡°Molly, please watch your words! Everyone in this world is entitled to me Selena, but not you! It is a fact that you and your daughter destroyed her¡¯s family and caused her to lose her mother. You do not tolerate andpensate her, but you even speak ill of her Do you really think that there is no one to help Selena?¡± A lerce look swept across Molly¡¯s eyes, her body shaking with anger. Leah secretly pinched Molly¡¯s arm, tears welling up in her eyes, sniffling, looking at Selena and speaking with a pleading tone. ¡°Mrs. Walson, I know it¡¯s all me and my mother who owe it to Selena, it¡¯s our bad, Selena, I¡¯m sorry, my mother spoke out of turn because of my injuries, please forgive us.¡± When Dominic looked at Leah, who was obviously in a mess, but still begged Selena in such a low voice, his heart was angry and heartbroken, he could not wait to go forward and take Leah into his arms for protection. It was just that Mrs. Walson¡¯s warning was still ringing in his ears, so he could only hold back, his resentment towards Selena deepening in his heart. Selena looked at Leah¡¯s teary-eyes, smiled slightly, and finally opened her mouth. ¡°Leah, you are so ugly.¡± Leah¡¯s body stiffened, and her face turned pale. Compared to Selena¡¯s elegant and noble glow, her dirty dress and wretched description at the moment were indeed ugly. With such an arrogant and domineering look, Selena finally angered Leah¡¯s group of girlfriends. ¡°Selena, don¡¯t go too far! Molly scolded you, but Leah has already apologized, what more do you want?¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°I¡¯m so mad at you, it¡¯s obvious that you hit Leah and caused her to fall and get seriously injured, yet you ask Leah to apologize to you, what do you think you are?!¡± Dominic was slightly relieved to see that someone had finally stood up for Leah. Hearing those voices using Selena, Leah was relieved to see that things were finally going in the direction she had expected once again. She bowed her head and was smug, but she heard a cold voicee into her ears ¨C ¡°Leah, can you exin what you secretly said to Selena with your mouth pattern? And why did you grab Selena¡¯s neck?¡± Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Leah¡¯s face changed, crystal tears shining in her eyes, her face pale, ¡°Talon, I don¡¯t understand what you mean.¡± Talon gave her a cold and sneering look, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter that you don¡¯t understand, we have eyes that will see for themselves.¡± Leah raised her head stiffly and saw that the surveince on the screen was magnified, the angle was extremely tricky, and it was framed exactly at the scene where she raised her hand to grab Selena¡¯s neck. The grim expression on her face was clearly visible to everyone in the room. ¡°I really thought Leah was soft and kind, this sinister look in her eyes creeped me out even through the screen.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t believe she¡¯s faking it, she¡¯s really no good like her mother.¡± Leah felt a strange line of sight fall on her spine, her face pale, her lips almost bitten as she shook her head. ¡°No, I didn¡¯t, I was just trying to go and pull Selena in, she hit my hand and I identally just almost touched her neck.¡± Molly was chided by Mrs. Walson, and there was a heavy resentment in her eyes, ¡°What do you mean? It¡¯s obvious that you are deliberately distorting the facts and wrongly using my daughter!¡± Talon¡¯s face remained unchanged, ¡°Then we can slow it down and y it in front of everyone¡¯ Molly was angry, but never had the guts to actually ask them to slow down the rey. She did not know the reason why Leah attacked Selena¡¯s neck, she just wanted to move the topic away from the surveince and immediately questioned coldly, ¡°There is no reason for my daughter to strangle Selena¡¯s neck. It¡¯s not like she has a treasure on her neck-¡± Leah¡¯s shoulders trembled slightly, her hands clenched into fists, her head bowed as if she had been greatly aggrieved, tears falling down, when she heard Molly¡¯s words, she said in a panic, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t say anything-¡± Unfortunately, she was a step too slow, Selena¡¯s softughter cut off Molly¡¯s words before she could, ¡°Who said I don¡¯t have a treasure around my neck?¡± Her words instantly drew the eyes of everyone in the room to her neck. The crowd was first stunned, followed by countless shouts of surprise that rang out from the scene. Only a diamond ne was seen on Selena¡¯s neck. Sapphire was glittering, beautiful as the stars in the sky. Selena pinched the diamond on the fingertips, a pleasant voice clear into the ears of everyone on the scene, ¡°On my neck, it is something she wants but is not entitled to, she is not capable of snatching it away, so naturally she can only destroy it.¡± Everyone¡¯s eyes were fixed dead on the diamond in Selena¡¯s hand, and a strong sense of shock and amazement emerged in their eyes. ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°The green diamond that was bought for half a billion at the auction house?!¡± When Dominic saw the green diamond, his eyes widened and his body tensed up for a moment. He certainly remembered the diamond. Originally, it was Leah¡¯s fancy and he offered 50 million to buy it for her as a gift, but it was bought by a man who came out of nowhere with 500 million. But now this diamond, which he could not afford to buy, has appeared on Selena. Dominic stared at Selena, clenching his fists, a touch more gloomy and vaguely unhappiness under his eyes. An icy smile unfolded on Selena¡¯s stunning face, ¡°Leah wanted to destroy my diamond, I hit her with my hands, what¡¯s wrong with that?¡± The crowd at the venue stared at the diamond with eyes of envy, jealousy, amazement or deep thought. If the truth was really as Selena said, it was naturally not wrong for her to hit Leah. Leah shook her head desperately, tears rolling down her pale cheeks, and exined, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t.¡± Unfortunately, the video on the surveince was there, and in contrast to her grim and resentful expression on that, the verbal exnation at the moment seemed otherwise-pale and feeble. When Mrs Walson heard that someone had spent 500 million on a diamond for Selena, she was shocked and a wave of panic hit her heart. There are few people in Creephia who can afford to pay 500 million for a diamond. Even if there was a character like that, it is unlikely that he would spend half a billion just to please a woman. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. In particr, Selena haspletely ruined her reputation. Therefore, he could only be coveting something more important in her. Selena had been thrown out of the Riddle family with nothing but the twenty percent of shares in her that was worth such arge sum of money! In this way, even Selena¡¯s sudden coldness towards Dominic had a logical exnation. Between a man who is willing to spend 500 million on a diamond for her, and a scumbag who turns his back on her and keeps hurting her, any woman knows what to choose! 1/2 Mrs. Walson¡¯s heart was racing, and her desire to win back Selena became more determined and imminent at this moment. She swept a grim nce at Dominic, turned her head to look at Selena, her eyes full of pity, and said in a soft voice, ¡°Selena, I know you¡¯ve been aggrieved, I will tell them to apologize to you. Dominic, why don¡¯t you get over here and apologize to Selena?!¡± Dominic stiffened and looked at Selena with a grim expression, feeling from the bottom of his heart that there was no way Selena would really let him apologize to her. The previous Selena had never dared to even have a serious word in front of him, and would do anything to get a look from him. How could such a woman, who loved him with all her heart and soul, be angry with him, but how could she really be cruel enough to humiliate him in public? Selena¡¯s fingers ced the diamond down and stared at Mrs. Walson¡¯s hand pulling her skirt, a coldness rippling across her face. ¡°Mrs. Walson, even though you are an elder, but as I said, my time is precious, let go!¡± Mrs. Walson stared deadly at Dominic, her body shaking with anger. She was about tosh out, but she was interrupted by a loud p. Dominic looked at his father with a grim and angry face in front of him with wide eyes, unable to believe that he had actually received another beating from his father. ¡°Dad-¡± His father stared at him sharply. ¡°Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re embarrassed enough? Today is your grandfather¡¯s birthday, there are so many guests at the scene, what have you done?!¡± Dominic was drenched in cold sweat, and when he looked up, he really saw Cyril standing there on top of the high tform, looking at him with a gloomy face. Dominic met those powerful and deep eyes and gave a jolt, his face bing somber. Cyril gave him a faint nce, then his eyesnded on Selena, ¡°Selena, for the sake of my birthday, don¡¯t make a fuss, okay?¡± Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Selena looked at Cyril coldly, and after a few seconds, she curbed the coldness on her face and pulled her lips into a smile. *Since you have opened your mouth, then naturally I can¡¯t count on it anymore, but, Cyril, I hope that it will never happen again.¡± Selena¡¯s meaning was known to Cyril. Dominic has been treating Selena badly for more than a day or two The ruination of the wedding party alone is a devastating blow to a simple and tender girl Although it was rumoured that Selena had been promiscuous in the first ce, Cyril could see the nastiness in this. The Riddle family¡¯s internal strife is not worth his asking about. Leah has the Riddle family as her backing, and he is happy to see her as the daughter-inw of the Walson family. But from the somewhat hysterical behaviour of Mrs. Walson today, it seems obvious that Selena is now worth more than Leah, and may even have something to do with her mother¡¯s family. And the mysterious man behind Selena, who spent 500 million on diamonds for her, no matter what the reason was, Selena, who appeared in the Walson family today, was qualified to have Cyril personally ask to have her stay. Cyril nced at the stiff-faced Dominic, disappointment swept through his eyes, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Selena, I am here, naturally I won¡¯t let anyone dare to bully you again. Talon, bring Selena to me.¡± Talon walked towards Selena, slightly bending down and extending his hand in a gesture of respectful invitation, ¡°Selena, wee to the Walson family as a guest, please.¡± With a faint smile, Selena stepped on her high heels and walked gracefully towards the main seat. The guests were shocked and silent as they watched this young girl, who was notorious and had nothing to lose, being invited back by the Walson family with the courtesy of a guest. As she passed by Leah and Dominic, Selena stopped in her tracks, slightly inclining her head, her gaze extremely cold, ¡°How dare you ask me to get lost?¡± As the Riddle¡¯s most honourable daughter, she had only been seen because of her poor health, and she had never been in anyone¡¯s home more than a few times since she was a child. Dominic actually dared to tell her to get lost. All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org. Selena narrowed her beautiful eyes and gave the scum and bitch another hard score in her heart, sneering as she walked towards the top of the high tform. Leah was already suffering from double pain on her body and feet, and when she was hit hard by Selena, she was in pain. Molly was staring at Selena with a cannibalistic look, not paying attention to her daughter, and in a moment of inattention, Leah once again fell to the ground in disgrace. But this time, no one stood up for her to seek justice and use Selena. Leah fell to the ground, without shouting or crying, but raising her head and looking up at Selena¡¯s gradually distant back. Her slender, lean back is both stunningly beautiful and exalted. Compared to the way she was in a mess and fell to the ground, it was a huge difference. Leah hung her head, her long hair scattered down, hiding the fierceness and resentment under her eyes. Dominic had suffered one defeat after another at the hands of Selena today, first by his mother and then by his father, and even Cyril was disappointed in him, so a hint of anger was shown in his face. As he listened to Selena¡¯s words, he looked at Selena¡¯s gradually distant back, and his heart surged with a burst of heartbreak and strangeness. Was this really the same Selena who had been submissive to him and had always clung to him? Dominic¡¯s father Brodie sunken his face and gave his son a cold look before turning to the guests at the scene and saying, ¡°Please forgive us for our poor hospitality, and for the next, please enjoy yourself.¡± The crowd all nodded, their eyes looking thoughtfully at Selena, and they dispersed in groups of three or two. Brodie looked at his wife¡¯s angry face and threw a cold, stern look at Dominic, then turned around and walked towards the stage, ¡°Today is my father¡¯s birthday party, if anyone dares to make any trouble, don¡¯t me me for being ungracious! ¡°Someone, take Leah to rest!¡± With these words, Brodie left. Molly helped Leah up from the ground, looking at her daughter¡¯s bruise, she was angry and heartbroken, just about to open her mouth to insult Selena, but Leah stopped her Leah opened her eyes wide to look at Dominic, her eyes reddened, tears in her eyes, and in an instant she lowered her head again, and said with a low sob, ¡°Mom, help me go change.¡± When Dominic looked at Leah¡¯s limping back, full of her hidden grievances, his heart ached and he wanted to take her into his arms tofort her. His feet moved and he was subconsciously about to go after Leah, but a low, angry shout from Mrs. Walson came to his ears, ¡°Dominic, stop right there!¡± Dominic¡¯s body stiffened, and when he returned to his senses, he could only watch as Leah walked away. Mrs. Walson held up the fur on her shoulders and walked towards the stairs, ¡°Come with me!¡± Selena stood on the high tform, holding a ss of red wine, watching Dominic and Leah leave, the corners of his lips curled into a cold smile. Talon stood beside her, seeing this scene, frowned, but spoke out, ¡°Selena, don¡¯t be upset.¡± Selena took a sip of red wine, narrowed her eyes and smiled, ¡°I¡¯m not upset at all.¡± Who is Dominic to make her feel bad? The Selena who would be upset for Dominic is no longer there Selena lowered her long, slender eyshes, hiding the coldness and pity under her eyes. Such scenarios have yed out almost every day in the past. She watched her beloved man neglect her over and over again for the woman who stole everything from her. Dominic and Leah viciouslycerated Selena¡¯s heart, destroying this soft and kind girlpletely little by little. Selena felt a slight pain where her heart was, she put the wine ss in her hand on the table and nodded to Talon, ¡°I¡¯ll go out for a breath of air¡± Talon stared at her distant back until he could no longer see her, and then lowered his eyes. That man is not good enough for you! So, stop grieving for him. Selena walked out of the banquet hall and went to a remote corner of the garden, pressed her hand to her heart and took a deep breath. She lowered her head, looked at her heart and whispered, ¡°I don¡¯t know why you like him, but a man like that is not worthy of your liking.¡± A long, slender arm wrapped itself around her waist. Selena¡¯s gaze went cold, and just as she was about to struggle, she heard a somewhat familiar voice
