Chapter 17
Mrs. Walson was angry with Dominic, but when she heard her son being belittled by Selena, her brows furrowed, which showed her displeasure.
But almost in the blink of an eye, she pushed down the slight displeasure and her face broke into its usual gentle smile
“Selena, I know it’s Dominic who has wronged you, but today is Cyril’s birthday party, he’s considered to have watched you grow up, as a junior, you should stay.”
Selena’s icy gaze swept over Mrs. Walson’s face and she curled her lips into a smile.
‘Mrs. Walson, you should know that it’s not that I don’t want to stay to celebrate Cyril’s birthday, but Leah won’t give me the chance to stay, and your son is bent on defending her. Are you thinking that I haven’t been bullied enough by them yet?”
Mrs. Walson clenched her hand at the thought of what had just happened, barely able to hide the twist on her face.
She tried to step forward to pull Selena’s arm, but was once again dodged by Selena
“Selena.”
Selena stood at the front door and would have walked out of the banquet hall with just one step.
She looked at Mrs. Walson, her expression blurred between the light and shadows, but her voice carried a bone-chilling coolness.
“Mrs. Walson, although you are the elder, there are still some things that need to be said clearly. Other people don’t know what kind of person l am and what kind of person Leah is, but you watch us grown up. You know it very well. Since you have already condoned your son’s choice of Leah, why are you still wasting time on me?”
And then she continued, “All my things have been snatched away by Leah, now I have nothing left, what else do you want from me?” Hearing such sharp and perverse words from Selena, Mrs. Walson’s heart sank suddenly, and her heart vaguely jumped.
She stared intently into Selena’s eyes, trying to see something in there.
She saw nothing but calmness.
In those beautiful, clear eyes, there was no longer a trace of infatuation or love for Dominic to be found.
Not to mention love, she did not even see on this girl’s face a trace of the pain and heartbreak of betrayal by the man she loved.
In just a few days since the wedding cancellation, the girl in front of her seems to have undergone a transformation, from her appearance to her temperament, she seems to have been reborn.
Mrs. Walson had always known that Selena was not unintelligent. On the contrary, according to her mother’s family background and origin, this girl was better than Leah in all aspects.
She is just not as ruthless as Leah, nor is she as sophisticated and unscrupulous as her opponent.
Before, when Selena was deeply in love with Dominic, even if she was partial to Leah, she would never have said it to her face.
Now Selena suspected her of having ulterior motives.
Mrs. Walson knows that there is only one explanation for a girl having such a transformative change-
She gave up the man she once loved so much!
She will no longer bend over backwards for that man, nor will she continue to hide in a corner, watching him treat another woman with the utmost care, praying for care and warmth from him, as he occasionally does.
Now standing before her was the one who lived only for herself, the real Miss Riddle!
When Mrs. Walson realised this, she was shaking with anger and wanted to go back and slap Dominic several times and choke Leah to death.
If it wasn’t for her calculated stunt on the night of the wedding banquet that completely ruined Selena, Selena wouldn’t have been so extreme!
