Chapter 388 A tough nut
Molly couldn't bear to see her precious daughter kneeling for Selena, grabbing Leah's hand, trying to pull her daughter back into the wheelchair, while saying in a panic, "Leah, it wasn't Selena who made me kneel, it was me who felt sorry for her, that's why I wanted to apologize to her. You're injured, leave it alone, go back and sit."
The lawyer Leah found for her said that the more sincere her apology was at this time, the less chance she had of being sentenced.
So even though she hated Selena to death, she could only humiliatingly kneel here and beg for her understanding, acting out for the judge.
She dragged her wounded body and knelt beside Mrs. Riddle, raising her hand to grab the corner of Selena's skirt, saying sincerely, "Selena, although my mother is not your real mother, she is your adoptive mother, we have lived together as a family for more than ten years. Even if she is not like your real mother, we still have feelings. Can you really bear to see this family fall apart?"
She cried, her soft face full of remorse and pleading, "Selena, forgive mum, I'll make amends for you. I don't want Dominic anymore, I don't want the company either, I don't want anything, as long as you can forgive mum."
The scene of the emaciated mother, the seriously injured daughter, kneeling on the ground and weeping and pleading, caused the people around to sigh and feel a vague sense of compassion.
Although what the mother and daughter did was hateful, it was a scene that anyone with a modicum of conscience could not bear to watch.
Selena elegantly crossed her legs and snorted, "I haven't even said anything yet, and you two have already said all the words, so what should I do to show my cruelty and indifference?"
She tilted her head, and finally said, "I know, when the trial starts later, I will give Mrs. Riddle a hard time, otherwise I would be sorry for your blame just now."
Leah's face faintly stiffened.
Selena showed mockery in her eyes, ""As we all know, I have a boyfriend now, and I have broken up with Dominic long ago. You don't want Dominic, what does that have to do with me? If you say something like that in public, and my boyfriend hears you, there will surely be a misunderstanding. What is your intention?"
Dominic, standing beside Leah, darkened his eyes, staring at Selena's face and clenching his fists.
Leah was choked, a touch of aggravation subconsciously passed over her face, "I, I just..."
Selena continued, "Also, everyone in Creephia knows that because of you and Mr. Riddle, the Riddle's has fallen into ruin and is only an empty shell, so what is your intention in throwing it to me now? Are you expecting me to contribute money and effort to make it flourish again, and then you can sit back and grab it back as the ready-made chairman?"
Leah shook her head, as if she had suffered a great grievance, accusing, "Selena, how can you think like that? I just really want you to forgive mum. I know you don't like me, and you feel that whatever I do is wrong, but you can't accuse me so indiscriminately."
Selena snorted, "You once swore that you would never marry Dominic in this life, and that you would never covet anything left behind by my mother. Which of these two things have you accomplished?"
Leah's expression froze and her face turned white.
Although she is not married to Dominic, Walson's capital injection into Riddle's is almost tantamount to a tacit acknowledgement of her love affair with Dominic, and if she were to try to set it aside, the Walson family would surely be upset and thus withdraw their capital.
The perfume competition has not yet started, and it takes time to prepare for the shooting of Love in City, which is now inseparable from Riddle's.
She needed to use her marriage to Dominic to re-enter the aristocratic circle, so this was something that she could not and did not dare to deny.
Besides, she was now sitting as the chairman of Riddle's company, so she would not dare to deny it.
"A person who can even break her own oath, who would dare to believe what you say?" Selena sneered, not giving Leah a chance to argue, she had continued, "Also, this is a courtroom, the most sacred place in the country. The law is greater than everything, the law does not tolerate bitter drama in this place-"
Her face went colder, "Leah, Mrs. Riddle, what do you take the law for?"
As she said this, there was an extra icy intimidation in her eyes.
The crowd was surprised, and on second thought, looked at the faces of Molly and Leah with more than dislike.
Selena is right, the law is not forgiving, if you commit a crime, you should be sanctioned, if even the law can be changed because of human feelings, then isn't it true that everyone can commit a crime?
Then the society would be in chaos.
Leah and Mrs. Riddle were speechless.
Leah was irritated and gritted her teeth.
What the hell is wrong with this bitch?
How did she go from being quiet and reticent to being so eloquent?
Can a person really be transformed to this extent overnight?
Leah vaguely felt as if she had caught something, but the thought flashed so that it disappeared before she could catch it.
Now is not the time to think about it, so she raised her head and looked at Selena, her face was still covered with teardrops, but her tone was righteous, "Selena, mum is only apologizing to you because she feels sorry for you, she didn't want to change anything with mother-daughter love, it's you who misinterpreted what we meant."
Selena glanced distantly towards the judge's bench and smiled, "Oh, then I can tell you bluntly that even if Mrs. Riddle is truly repentant, I will not forgive her."
When Selena said this, she had already made her position clear.
Although she had suffered a loss, her purpose had been achieved, so naturally she would not linger here to pester.
Molly assisted her daughter into her wheelchair, and with her eyes red again, she looked back at Selena and was escorted to the dock.
After everyone had dispersed, Olympus Group's lawyer said to Selena, "Lady Selena, Bison is sophomoric, he often pushes the plaintiff to collapse in court, confusing himself and eventually leading to the loss of the lawsuit, he will definitely target you later on."
Selena smiled, "If he can drive me to collapse, it's his ability."
The Olympus Group's lawyers gloated when they thought about the scene at the door earlier.
Just because of Lady Selena's incomparably strong mental quality, who could force her to confuse herself and make a slip of the tongue?
Bison is definitely going to fail this time.
Soon, the court was in session.
When Selena was sitting in the plaintiff's seat, Bison stood up and asked her a question with a serious face, "Lady Selena, before I defend my defence, I have a few questions to ask you."
