Chapter 973 Arrange a meeting with Christ for "Alright, brave and righteous Officer Wen," Leon said in a gentle tone, "I will arrange the tfor you." Earlier, Selena had mentioned leaving it to fate, but now she must be willing to meet the senior inspector who had married into the Riddle family for many years.
Erica hugged her arms and lifted her chin. "Let the second wife worry about the trouble caused by the old lady. Don't get involved." Selena's lips twitched. "Father is after all--" "If he dares to meddle, I'll kick him out to sleep in the study tonight!" Erica retorted with a glare.
Leon remained silent.
Alright, you win! The Riddle family had not yet resolved their disputes when they faced more problems that night.
Kaitlyn accidentally slipped and fell down the stairs, breaking her leg. At the stime, the Riddle family's illegitimate son was sent to the emergency room again due to illness.
The second wife of the Riddle family faced consecutive blows in one night, which made Hunter furious. Daphne first heard about Penelope being beaten, then the Riddle family's company was attacked, and finally, her beloved grandchildren were hospitalized one after another, leaving her utterly breathless.
Selena was unaware of what was happening in the Riddle family. After Osvaldo brought her back, she had been staying in the flower room, writing. Therefore, she did not hear any of the rumors from the outside world.

Leia stood behind Selena, staring at the snow-white paper, trying to recognize the characters but to no avail. She had seen Selena's beautiful handwriting before, with each stroke in a beautiful, thin gold style that everyone would praise.
But this one... forgive her for her limited knowledge, but she really could not recognize a single character. However, it was very imposing.
Selena smiled slightly. "A famous saying from Caesar of the West... | came, | saw, | conquered." Unfortunately, perhaps she had been too well-educated, and this handwriting was too calm compared to her previous writing.
Leia widened her eyes and was about to ask more when she saw Selena raise her hand and crumple the calligraphy into a ball before throwing it into the trash can.
Leia exclaimed, "Ah, Madam, why did you..." Although she did not understand the characters, she had a strange feeling that if Selena had shown it, someone would have fought over it to buy it.
Selena smiled. "I wrote it poorly, there's no need to keep it." She put down her brush and walked to the edge of the water basin, washing her hands clean. She then took the towel that Leia handed over, wiped her hands, and asked, "Has Hattie woken up?" "No," Leia shook her head. "Dr. Wilkinson said it's good for Miss Hattie's body to let her sleep longer." Selena strolled outside the flower room and looked up at the nearby capital. Suddenly, she spoke up, "If the Riddle family calls again and asks to meet me, please accept the invitation for me." As soon as she finished speaking, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated and fell down.
Leia widened her eyes and felt that the young mistress of their family was really prescient. However, could it be that the Riddle family was calling at this tto either scold or plead with the young mistress? Leia stared at the flashing number on the screen, her expression becoming serious.
She looked at the number and then turned to Selena, only to find that Selena's expression was completely different from what she had imagined.
Selena's face was very cold.
Her dark eyes stared at the flashing number on the screen, emitting a cold chill.
Leia's spine also shuddered, and she keenly sensed that Selena's emotions seemed to be tightly wound.
In the warm sunshine, in the quiet courtyard, the ringing on the table lasted for a long time. Just as Leia thought Selena wouldn't answer, she suddenly heard Selena say, "Give it to me." Leia carefully held the phone and handed it to Selena.
At the moment she touched Selena's fingers, Leia shivered from the icy temperature on her skin.
"Madam..." The little girl couldn't help but call out, "Are you okay?" Selena said faintly, "I'm fine." Then, she pressed the answer button.
Leon's cold voice cfrom inside, sounding like his emotions weren't very good. "Lady Selena, my mother wants to meet you. Do you have trecently?" Leia was prepared for Leon to talk about what was currently happening with the Riddle family, but she didn't expect to hear such a sentence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeon's mother, the Riddle family's grand madam, wanted to meet their young mistress? Leia carefully searched her memory and finally remembered the rumors about the Riddle family's grand madam.
The Riddle family's grand madam was not born into a prestigious family. When she was young, she was an outstanding police officer. Later, she was seriously injured during an operation and then married into the Riddle family...
Now, the woman with a complicated background is going to meet Selena.
Under the warm sunshine, Leia suddenly shuddered for no reason.
Selena's lips curled into a somewhat cold arc, "Of course, thank Mrs. Riddle for me." Leon remained silent for a moment, "No need." If things were really as they thought, Erica would definitely not want Selena's gratitude.
After agreeing on the tand place, Selena put down her phone and looked into the distance with a cold expression.
Leia approached her shakily, "Madam..." Selena lowered her curly eyelashes and hid her warm eyes. After a long time, she said, "It's okay." Before meeting Erica again, she had to see another person first.
Selena turned to Leia and said, "Make an appointment with the Poole family's young master for me." was dumbfounded, "What?" Looking into Selena's eyes, Leia complained, "Mr. Poole has bad intentions towards Madam. Madam cannot cheat on the young master behind his back..." Selena was first stunned, then laughed and reached out to touch the girl's hair, "It's not what you think. | have something to ask him." "Why doesn't Madam ask Young Master?" Leia whispered. "If Mr. Poole knows about it, the young master must also know..." "l..." Selena lowered her eyelashes. "The young master doesn't know about this." That was the real Selena, the connection between her and Christ that no one knew except for the two of them.
Therefore, there were sanswers that no one else except for Christ and the deceased Selena could answer.
Leia suddenly realized something as she looked at Selena's eyes and turned around to leave, "Madam, I'll contact Mr. Poole immediately!" But before contacting Christ, Leia first called Osvaldo and reported everything.
It took a long tbefore a hoarse voice cfrom the other end of the line.
