Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Hattie Riddle

Selena stayed at the house for a while and then went to Olympus Group.
Luke said last night that he would send the information on the main cast today.
Selena trusted Luke's vision, as he might be as picky as she was.
He said that girl was good, so she must be outstanding.
Selena knocked on the door of Luke's office with a sense of anticipation.
Luke's voice came from inside the door, "Come in."
Selena walked in on her high heels.
Luke had been waiting for her. He handed her a prepared document on the table, with a smile, "It should be a surprise for you."
Selena's fingers, which were holding the information, tightened.
Surprise?
Luke clearly had something to say.
Selena came back to her sense and flipped open that information, then was really surprised.
Name: Hattie Riddle.
Age: 13 years.
Apart from these two, the rest of the information was a blank.
Naturally, it could not surprise and shock Selena.
What really caught Selena's attention was the photo.
The young girl in the photo, with her delicate face, looked surprisingly like her.
No--
They looked very much alike.
The curvature of the eyes, in particular, was identical.
Only this girl in the picture looks colder than she does, paler than she is, with a stubbornness that comes after the hysteria.
The cold, melancholy look in her eyes reminded her of a bruised but still thorny young animal, who no matter how much she was forced or humiliated, could never be made to bow down.
An urge for something screamed inside Selena.
She was going to save this girl -
She could not save Selena, who was already dead, or herself, who had died once, but she must save Hattie Riddle.
It was like saving the person she once was.
Luke looked at her as she stared motionlessly at the photo and explained in a slow voice, "Hattie had a very happy family, but her father cheated within his marriage and soon after her mother died, her stepmother came to the door with a big belly. This girl was so extreme that she ruthlessly pushed her stepmother down the stairs, causing her to miscarry and kill her five-month-old fetus. This scandal has become a big deal in the capital, and if you take her in, you have to be prepared for trouble to find you."
Selena put down that information, lifted her eyes and said bluntly, "I like her."
Although Selena understood little Selena, she felt angry that she did not fight back.
And this girl's eyes showed her ruthlessness, and Selena liked it.
"As for trouble," Selena licked her lips, a hint of arrogance in her eyes, and smiled brightly, "I don't mind trouble."
Most importantly, there was indeed no better female lead than Hattie.
Selena looked at Luke, "Many thanks, Mr. Jordan."
In order to find a heroine for her, he had to work hard to find one from Creephia to the capital.
Luke smiled, "No need to thank me, thank your husband, he saved this girl."
There was something Luke didn't tell Selena.
The reason why Osvaldo intervened in Hattie's affairs was not only because Selena was looking for a female lead, but in terms of blood relations, Hattie still had to call Selena sister.
Selena froze, then nodded to Luke with a smile and turned to walk out.
Selena came to the entertainment department and happily announced the good news to the entire crew.
At the sound of the words, everyone's spirits were lifted.
The heroine was not only a big problem for Selena, but for the others.
A play, without a protagonist, was nothing at all.
And having a female lead meant that the script was ready for official shooting.
Someone couldn't wait to ask, "Lady Selena, who is the lead actress and when will she arrive?"
Selena smiled faintly, "I haven't seen her yet."
As the crowd watched in awe, Selena added confidently, "But I'm sure that the female lead has to be her."
Whether it is her age, experience or temperament, there is no better female protagonist than Hattie, it is a role simply tailor-made for her.
She was looking forward to meeting Hattie.
The crew got excited when they heard this said.
There were those who lamented the fact that they all thought that if they couldn't find a suitable female lead in the end, in accordance with Selena's fondness for this script, perhaps she would take on the role herself.
But to their surprise, at this juncture, she actually found one.
According to the director's discerning eye, since she gave the girl such a high rating, it meant that the she must not be bad.
Not only Selena, but almost everyone in the cast and crew began to look forward to the arrival of the mysterious female lead.
Selena walked out of the Olympus Group at five o'clock in the afternoon and was then stopped in her tracks by Mrs. Walson who was on guard.
Mrs. Walson dropped the lady's cigarette on the ground and stared at Selena, "Selena, let's have a talk."
Selena looked straight at Mrs. Walson, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Mrs. Walson took a deep breath, her delicate makeup could not hide the haggardness on her face, but her tone was still stern, "I didn't stop you from getting five percent of the Riddle family's shares, and you promised me to let Angie go."
Selena had never even put Angie in her eyes.
Even Selena was quite happy to let her out.
If she slandered her classmates for cheating, she could be imprisoned for a year or two at most, but if she was released and continued to cause trouble for the Walson family and cause problems for her mother and her brother, she would be happy to see it.
So Selena agreed steadily, "Okay."
Mrs. Walson was stunned, probably not expecting Selena to be so nice.
She thought for a moment and softened her voice, "Selena, if you are willing to let go of those past grudges, the Walson family can give you compensation."
Seeing Selena's lack of interest, Mrs. Walson added, "It is the law of survival for the gentry family to step on the low and climb the high, everything is based on profit. You are still young and naive, you might hold a grudge against us, but when you take control of the Riddle family in the future, you will be able to understand us."
"You've only suffered some aggravation, no real loss, beside Dominic and Angie have been taught a lesson."
"There are no permanent enemies and there are no permanent friends, it is the interests that make the strongest chain of relationships."
"The people of the Riddle family in the capital have not come to you for so many years, they must not genuinely care about you as a granddaughter, so why do you need to take things too far?"
Selena's eyes were cold as she stared at Mrs. Walson, and she felt funny about this woman's justifiable logic.
The feeling that just because Selena is still alive, everything can be lightly smoothed over?
"Don't you feel disgusted with yourself for saying that to the victim, Mrs. Walson?"
Mrs. Walson's face changed and she asked through clenched teeth, "Do you really have no any feelings for Dominic anymore?"
