Chapter 709 Why Do People Hit Each Other? "A fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, you and your sister need to understand this!" Selena stared at Hannah's beautiful and arrogant face, her breath suddenly becoming extremely dangerous.
After thinking for a moment, everyone spoke up one after another.
"Selena, let's compromise today. Your sister and Estrella were injured, but Mr. Gibson and Mrs. Walson were also hurt. It's a fair exchange, isn't it?" "It's true that Estrella was hit, but if your sister has issues, it's her own psychological problem and has nothing to do with us." Leah lowered her eyes and upon seeing this, a smirk of satisfaction appeared at the corner of her lips.
Upon hearing these words, Austin's heart trembled.
On one hand, he was afraid of Selena's background, and on the other hand, he was worried that Leon would actually show up.
He always felt restless.

As for the wound on his head and the humiliation he suffered, there would be a chance to get revenge in the future! Austin's face twisted for a moment, then he raised his head and spoke in a patronizing tone, "Selena, | didn't do anything to your sister anyway, and you can't find any evidence to prove that we bullied her. Letgo, and | promise not to reveal that your sister has a mental illness." Facing the expressions of "they've already been magnanimous, it's no longer interesting if she still insists" from the opposite side, Selena's lips curved slightly, and a hint of subtle cruelty appeared in her eyes.
Just as her anger was about to completely erupt, a cold voice suddenly rang out before her.
"As the daughter of the Riddle family, | was born to be a noble woman, destined to be superior and unparalleled... you think you can bullyand just walk away? That's not going to happen.” Accompanied by these terrifying words, a group of people slowly walked out from the corner behind Selena.
The man leading the group wore a snow-white suit, with a gentle appearance and clear features, but his eyes were extremely cold at the moment.
When everyone on the scene suddenly saw this man who appeared out of nowhere, they froze for a moment.
Although Selena claimed that she had called the young master of the Riddle family, not many people believed that she could actually invite him.
After all, it was a well-known fact that Selena was not well-liked by the Riddle family from the capital. But who was this person in front of her? Although she had never seen him before, there was a resemblance to Selena and Hattie in his features that couldn't be denied. Coupled with his dignified and imposing aura, his identity was obvious. The group of celebrities immediately softened in front of him.
Austin suddenly looked up, staring at the man with an icy gaze, his face turning pale. Leah's face also went white, and if she hadn't caught the wall in time, she would have fallen to the ground. With Lady Nevaeh's death and the injustice Selena had suffered for over a decade, she was more afraid of encountering someone from the Riddle family than anyone else.
Why? Didn't that woman say that the Riddle family would never cforward to support Selena and Hattie? Leah's eyes becrestless.
Selena hesitated for a moment, glancing at the closed door behind her. Leon's gaze fell on her face, and after a moment's pause, he spoke up. "Where's Hattie?" Selena looked at the closed door behind her.
Leon turned and pushed the door open and walked in. The group of assistants following him did not follow suit. One of them looked at Selena and said respectfully, "Miss, leave the rest to us. You can go rest next to us." Selena glanced at Leah, who had turned pale, but didn't say anything. She lazily leaned against the wall nearby, watching as Leon's men "invited" the group of pale-faced celebrities for questioning.
Austin and Leah were left behind.
The two of them were now pale-faced, indicating that being singled out was not a good thing.

The door to the room opened gently, and Leia walked out and over to Selena. Her face was not good. "Madam." Selena looked at Leia and smiled. "What's wrong?" Leia glared angrily at the two people opposite them, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Madam, are you planning to send Hattie back?" Unless there was a special reason, Selena would never have called Leon to come. Teaching Leah and the group of celebrities a lesson was no difficulty for Selena. But for sreason, Selena had taken the initiative to contact the Riddle family from the capital. When she told Luke about this, he was silent for a long tbefore telling her that Selena might send Hattie away.
Selena did not deny, "Breaking Ground will be finished soon, and Hattie was supposed to go back anyway." "But..." Leia remembered Hattie's mental state and becanxious. "Hattie is still sick, and the Riddle family, except for Leon, can't be relied upon. It will hurt her feelings if she is sent back like this. She's such a good girl. Madam, you can't let her go..." "I'm not letting her go," Selena said firmly. "I already promised Hattie that | would send her back to the capital after we finish filming." "But Madam, aren't you worried?" Leia was getting emotional. "Hattie can stay here as long as you're willing to protect her. The young master will protect her for the rest of his life. He can even help Hattie seek revenge!" "Even if she doesn't have a mother, Hattie has her brothers and sisters to protect her, so she doesn't have to suffer so much!" "I can't protect her for the rest of my life," Selena's voice was very calm. "Her leaving is inevitable, and one day..." She will also leave.
Leia was so anxious that she was about to cry.
She couldn't understand why Selena, who was always so insightful, was so persistent in sending Hattie away.
She was about to speak up to persuade her when the door of the box was opened from the inside, and Leon walked out, his aura colder than when he went in.
Selena's expression was inscrutable as she stared at the man for a few seconds before picking up her phone and making a call.
The call went through, and Selena snickered with a hint of indulgence in her tone. "Investigate whether the new young master of the Riddle family is really sick today. If he is, ignore him. If he's not... make it true." Leon paused in his tracks.
The others were shocked to hear this, staring at Selena as if she were a demon.
The person on the other end seemed to have said something, and Selena smiled. "I understand.” Leon stared at her for a moment before walking over to her.
Selena didn't look up, still looking at the phone screen while talking, "What? Does Mr. Riddle want to accuse me? Or stop me?"
