They even cursed her viciously, hoping she would just die!
Having done so much evil and lost all conscience, how could they beg for forgiveness from the girl across from them?
Selena won't let Leah off the hook!
This thought clearly passed through Mrs. Riddle's mind, causing her old, wrinkled face to become twisted and fierce once again.
Having lost a lot of blood and suffered a mental breakdown, she no longer had much sanity left. It was only her motherly obsession that told her that as long as the girl across from her didn't exist, her daughter could live on!
Mrs. Riddle drew the knife from her body and stumbled towards Selena. In her old, murky eyes, all that could be seen was twisted malice.
Selena looked on coldly at the woman on the other side, covered in blood and with a fierce expression like an evil spirit.
"Bang!"--
In the end, Mrs. Riddle didn't make it to Selena's side. She fell at Selena's feet, her head twisted to one side, her eyes wide and unfocused, her blood-stained knife just inches away from Selena's clothing.
In her last moments, she cried and softly called out, "Daughter..."
If only she had taught her daughter well...
...
At the same time.
Leah was sitting in the conference room, discussing the release date for "Love in City" with someone when she suddenly felt a palpitation in her heart.
She looked around, feeling inexplicably annoyed.
Leah spoke in a cold voice, "Love in City" must be released before "Breaking Ground" so that we can gain an advantage."
"But Olympus Group has already set the release date for "Breaking Ground," and on top of that, Selena's influence... we'll be at a disadvantage if we clash with them."
"Don't we have any influence?" Leah said impatiently. "Miss Barrett and the movie star are our ready-made influences."
The office fell silent for a moment.
Rachel Barrett did have some influence. But her influence had already been tarnished in the previous scandal, and on top of that, the screenwriter for this drama was the infamous Leah.
This drama wouldn't have a chance to be released anywhere else. But unfortunately, Leah had someone behind her who spent a lot of money to help her make this drama, and the company couldn't oppose it.
As Leah sensed the unusual gaze of the crowd, she calmly said, "I have confidence in the script of 'Love in City'. You have all heard that 'Breaking Ground' has no male lead, and the female lead is just girl, which puts it at a disadvantage in the market."
"As for the cast of 'Love in City', you all know that both the acting and the plot are impeccable."
"It's even better for the two shows to air at the same time, because 'Breaking Ground' is destined to be a stepping stone for 'Love in City'!"
After Leah finished speaking, she grabbed her bag and left the conference room in annoyance.
...
At the same moment Mrs. Riddle took her last breath, the door suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Osvaldo, with a grim expression, strode past the two bodies on the floor without even a glance, grabbed Selena's cold hand, and pressed her face against his chest.
Then he led her out.
Leia stood at the door, trembling as she watched Osvaldo.
She heard something was wrong and immediately called Osvaldo.
But they were still a step too late.
They all thought Selena just wanted to ask those two people some questions. Who would have thought that Mrs. Riddle would do something so crazy to protect Leah?
Those two people deserved their punishment, and now they were caught in front of the young lady of the house. They deserved their death even more!
Osvaldo took Selena out of the basement and into the warm sunshine.
