Selena looked at Hattie's terrified face, and softly asked, "What are you afraid of, Hattie?"
Hattie's eyes were confused. "Selena, I didn't mean to... "
Selena looked at her gently. "I know it's not your fault."
she trembled in her arms. "I just wanted to avenge my mother. I never meant to harm that child..."
The teenage girl returned home from school to find her mother's lifeless body and was met with her wicked stepmother taunting her with the truth of her father's affair and her mother's death. In extreme sadness and anger, the girl pushed the woman down the stairs and accidentally killed a five-month-old baby.
That scene of blood became a nightmare that haunted she every night.
Then, in hysteria, she was sent to a juvenile detention center by her own grandparents who had loved her since she was a child, and was forced into a mental illness...
Selena's eyes glinted with cold light as she gently patted Hattie's shoulder. "It wasn't your fault that the child died, it was that woman's fault."
"She wickedly killed her own child and framed you, Hattie."
"You only wanted to avenge your mother, and you did nothing wrong."
"It's all that woman's fault, everything is her fault!"
Under Selena's gentle comfort, Hattie gradually stopped trembling.
...
Leon had just gotten out of the car and he received a call from his assistant, informing him that Selena and Hattie had been arrested again.
Leon was amused by the news.
But he didn't turn around and leave immediately, instead, he strode towards the Riddle family's gate.
Erica had probably heard the news as well, and was waiting at the gate on purpose. She approached Leon and straightened his collar. "I'll go see Hattie, be careful."
Although Erica had retired for many years, she still had connections.
She was the most suitable person to visit Hattie.
Leon patted his mother's shoulder as she walked away.
After Erica left, he lit a cigarette and smoked it before entering the place where Daphne lived.
Ever since Penelope was arrested, the old lady had been bedridden for the most part.
Kaitlyn had been by her side all along.
The servants reported that the young master had returned, and the old lady's face, which had been gloomy for many days, lit up with joy.
"Quickly, let the young master in."
Leon and Hattie haven't visited her for a long time.
Daphne felt upset and wanted to talk to Leon about the recent conflict within the Riddle family.
Kaitlyn, who was with her, saw the joy on Daphne's face and felt a hint of dissatisfaction.
Although she had been the one taking care of Daphne since she fell ill, Daphne was still concerned about her grandson, Leon.
Despite her anger, Kaitlyn continued to act obediently with a smile on her face. She greeted Leon and called him "brother" when he arrived.
When Leon heard her voice, his cold gaze fell upon Kaitlyn's face. She was startled by his look because Leon had never liked her due to her relationship with Hattie.
