Selena was taken aback at first, but after understanding what Osvaldo meant, she blinked her eyes.
The person who could be regarded as Nevaeh's opponent was someone who truly had the strength to compete with her on the field and was worthy of respect for their character.
What was Manny worth?
Other than being as ruthless and unscrupulous as Leah, was there anything about her that was worth respecting?
Perhaps it was because of this "disdain" from Nevaeh that made this woman so obsessed with her identity.
Selena looked at Manny, who was so pleased with herself on the screen, and thought of Hattie, who was suffering in agony at the moment, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
...
Manny had shown off enough, and her arrogant and cold gaze returned to Leon. However, he spoke to Mr. Riddle, "Father, as you can see from the voting results, Ache is clearly more suitable than Leon to be the next heir of the Riddle family in the hearts of the shareholders."
"For the future development of the Riddle family, I have to trouble you to take back the power from Leon and hand it over to Ache."
In front of everyone, Mr. Riddle stepped onto the stage and announced expressionlessly, "I declare that from today onwards, Ache will be the next heir of the Riddle family."
One sentence could be said to have shocked the whole audience.
Some shareholders who had hoped that Leon had some hidden cards were instantly heartbroken.
Those shareholders and Riddle family members who had turned to support Manny, however, breathed a sigh of relief and no longer concealed their arrogance.
They looked at Leon and laughed one after another.
"Leon, did you hear that? From today onwards, this is no longer your territory. You can pack up and leave!"
"The formerly powerful young master has come to this, it really is a great pleasure to everyone!"
"Leon, how does it feel to be reduced to a stray dog? Take your spoiled and wilful sister and leave immediately!"
In the face of the mocking and ridiculing remarks all around him, Leon put down the cup in his hand.
He stood up, his hands in his pockets, looking directly at Maddox on the high platform. "Grandpa, are you sure you want to hand the Riddle family over to a sickly bastard with an illegitimate background?"
Maddox had yet to speak, but Manny spoke first, "Ache is the eldest son of the second branch of the Riddle family, a legitimate young master, and also the designated heir of the Riddle family. As for the sickly bastard..."
She had a vicious and sneering smile in her eyes as she looked at Leon. "I forgot to tell you that a year ago, Hunter and I found a suitable heart source and gave Ache a heart transplant. He will recover from his illness soon."
"Father and mother have already known about these things," Manny said, holding the Maddox with one hand and Daphne with the other, with a triumphant look in her eyes. "Ache will be the most outstanding successor of the Riddle family!"
Maddox still had no expression.
Daphne was so guilty that she dared not look at Leon, but she did not push away Manny's hand holding hers, nor did she deny that Ache's condition had improved.
