Hattie ran over to Selena, who observed the girl's expression and, seeing no negative emotions, breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Why did you come so early, Hattie?"
It was still early, but Selena could hear the commotion downstairs, and it seemed that quite a few people had already arrived.
"I wanted to see you as soon as possible, so I begged my brother to bring me," Hattie paused for a moment, hesitated, and then blurted out, "Before we left, Grandma brought the Riddle family's illegitimate daughter and said she wanted to come along too, but my brother firmly refused."
Is Daphne going to switch from a hard approach to a soft one and ask her to release Penelope?
Selena sneered.
She had to admit that Kiera and Penelope were both very fortunate.
Although they were both orphans, they happened to trample upon Nevaeh and Selena, the beautiful mother-daughter duo, and become the elites.
If it weren't for Selena's face, which was similar to Hattie's, she would have suspected that Kiera was actually Daphne's biological daughter.
Selena touched Hattie's hair and asked, "Has anything happened to the Riddle family recently?"
Leon's change of attitude was somewhat unexpected to Selena.
After all, strictly speaking, Selena and Leon were not familiar with each other.
Although they were cousins, a newly emerging cousin was obviously insignificant in terms of affection compared to grandparents who had loved him for over a decade.
It was possible that Leon had a slight feeling of guilt and might do something to compensate Selena, but it was impossible for him to do anything against the Riddle family for Selena.
This was human nature.
Selena did not have any resentment or blame towards them because of this.
Or rather, the Selena who should have had such emotions had already died.
To her, besides Hattie, the Riddle family were all strangers.
Hattie thought that Selena would be happy to hear about her brother's defense of her, but she didn't expect Selena to ask such a question.
It was as if, in Selena's eyes, the Riddle family had given her all the injustice and indifference, which was the most normal thing in the world.
Hattie said, "Selena, it's not like that..."
"Brother is completely disappointed in grandma. She is just a bad person!"
"In the future, brother won't let her bully me and you just because of her seniority!"
Selena didn't expect that her casual question would touch on Hattie's sensitive topic.
She chuckled and touched Hattie's pretty face. "If he doesn't do this, I won't agree he bring you back to the Riddle family."
Hattie opened her mouth to say something, but Leia suddenly walked in from the door and loudly said, "Madam Selena, Madam Laurence just called and said that the master and the young master have set off and will arrive soon..."
Selena's attention was immediately drawn over.
Thinking about seeing Osvaldo soon, Selena's face showed a happy and shy smile.
...
Downstairs.
