To save her own life, she betrayed the person who held the secrets of the city center.
The Riddle Group Empire, even with all their pride and power, could not do such a thing.
This sister was more trouble than she was worth.
It would be better to just use her status to help pave the way for her own advancement. After all, it wouldn't be a waste of the resources that Beatrice had been cultivating for over twenty years.
Selena didn't notice Beatrice's change in expression and continued speaking. "Everything I'm saying is true. As long as you're alive, Lillian won't let you go. Your life is in danger."
Selena chuckled lightly. "Even if Miss White is telling the truth about Lillian, it's also true that you hired someone to kill members of the Turner family. These two things aren't mutually exclusive."
Beatrice gritted her teeth.
She knew denying it now would be useless; she had no choice but to admit it. "I did do this thing, but my intention was truly only because of Lillian's orders."
"She used me to lure you out and create an opportunity for Robert to kill you!"
"But on my first day here, when you refused to show yourself and Lydia told me that you were on leave from work for a few days... I had no other choice but to take drastic measures..."
"Fortunately," Beatrice added quickly,"Miss Lydia wasn't actually killed - I may have been ruthless but I wasn't behind everything."
"Keeping me alive will benefit Miss Turner too!"
It was clear that Beatrice would do anything at this point just to stay alive - Selena's face alone gave her enough psychological trauma since everyone knew that even Riddle Group Empire's queen killed Uncle David with her own hands!
So when Selena said she would make her pay, Beatrice knew that Selena meant it. Selena didn't care about her status as a wealthy socialite in the city center, and she wasn't one to be threatened! After listening for a while, Selena snapped her fingers. Leia immediately walked in from outside the door and gave Beatrice a fierce glare.
Selena spoke coldly, "Leia, investigate recent intelligence on the city center, especially any special rumors that have emerged since my photos were exposed there."
Leia shouted loudly, "Yes ma'am!"
Beatrice breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that Selena was willing to investigate showed that she was starting to believe what Beatrice had said.
As for whether news of Selena's queen-like face would be suppressed by Lillian or not, Beatrice wasn't worried at all. Lillian couldn't suppress it!
Selena's information was known worldwide. And with Riddle Group's new empress ruling for thirteen years and many people having seen the queen's face in person in the city center - even if Lillian could threaten some people not to speak out - could she keep Su Gongzi quiet?
Su Gongzi had definitely already seen information about Selena. He had always been suspicious of Her Majesty's true cause of death and wouldn't miss this opportunity to watch Lillian take control alone.
Sure enough, after a while Leia returned with an angry expression holding a file.
"Madam, this is sent by the young master. The Federal Center City is simply too much!" Selena looked at the information in Leia's hand and understood that it must have been prepared for her by Osvaldo in advance.
Selena smiled slightly and opened the information brought to her by Leia. As she read on, her smile gradually faded.
Her pretty lips tightened as she looked up at Beatrice. "So, the purpose of Center City's visit to the capital this time is not for cooperation, but specifically to come and kill me?"
Beatrice sneered coldly. "Yes, my sister wants to be queen, and your face may stand in her way. So for her sake, you must die!"
Selena's face turned icy cold. After a moment passed, she said to Leia: "Lock Beatrice up."
Beatrice turned pale with fear. "Miss Turner, I have told you the truth! You can't kill me..."
