"Riddle family colluding with the enemy and selling out the country, the evidence is conclusive, and this is an unchangeable fact!"
"Besides..." Selena paused, looking down at Maddox with a chilling gaze in her eyes. "You have already lost the qualification to use Hattie to talk to me about emotions."
Maddox raised his head and looked Selena in the eye. "After all, Hattie is a member of the Riddle family. Once Riddle family is accused of such a crime, she will not be able to escape the fate of being despised by others!"
Selena smiled, but did not speak.
Maddox was about to say something, when a voice suddenly came over, "Enough, Grandpa!"
Maddox looked up and saw Leon walking in from outside the door, with several bodyguards pushing a wheelchair behind him. Someone was sitting in the wheelchair.
Hope lit up in Maddox's eyes. "Leon, as long as you are willing to bring Hattie back to the Riddle family, everything in Riddle family belongs to you!"
"I will take care of those two bastards myself and guarantee that they will never come out to hinder your relationship with Hattie again!"
"As long as you are happy, everyone in Riddle family is at your disposal!"
Upon hearing Maddox's words, Manny suddenly felt a sense of unease deep inside.
Ache had completely destroyed the signal of the hospital, making it impossible for Deacon to pass on the message.
One small misstep led to Manny not knowing the fact that Hunter and Maddox had already regained consciousness.
She just listened to Maddox's unusual words at the moment, her eyes becoming suspicious and uncertain.
Leon looked at the scene of Maddox kneeling on the ground and begging Selena. He remembered the time when this old man was unbeatable. A few traces of exhaustion and sadness surged in his eyes. "Grandpa, don't you understand? It's too late..."
Maddox glared at Leon, "No matter what, you are still Riddle's descendants. How can you watch Riddle family be burdened with such a notorious name?!"
Leon looked at Maddox's eyes, which were crazed with anger, and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Hattie is dead."
"What did you say?" Maddox was stunned.
Daphne was also stunned. "What do you mean Hattie is dead?!"
Leon walked step by step to Daphne, squatting down, looking at the terrified and disheveled face of the old woman, and the nervousness and fear in her eyes. He sneered sarcastically, "Hattie is dead, killed by the snake and scorpion that you and Grandpa raised."
"She is dead without a whole corpse, and from now on, you don't have to worry about her returning to Riddle family and taking away Ache and Kaitlyn's things."
"She will never appear again to bother you."
"After you and Grandfather caused the death of her mother, you also caused her death... are you satisfied?!"
Daphne's aged face turned pale, tears welling up in her eyes. "How could this be..."
Leon looked at her sorrowful expression and felt an intense sense of hatred and disgust. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Not only did Hattie die, but also your beloved Ache."
"When you gave him auntie's heart, did you ever think about how kind of a person she was..."
"Hattie was her daughter. How could she just stand by and watch her own daughter die?"
"So her heart, along with your beloved Ache, died together with Hattie. You tell me, is this not retribution?!"
Daphne's soul trembled in an instant. "No... no..."
