Chapter 396 Either you or Leah go in prison
Immediately, Leah's eyes took on more of a wary look.
Selena always seems to have a way of kicking her back down just when she thinks she is about to succeed, making her experience the fall from heaven back to hell over and over again.
Therefore, as soon as Selena moved, Leah reprimanded out angrily, "Selena, what are you going to do to my mother?"
Selena gave her a look, sarcasm in her eyes, "What can I do to Mrs. Riddle in full view of everyone?"
After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Leah and walked towards Mrs. Riddle.
The lawyers around Mrs. Riddle all looked at her with wariness on their faces.
This timid, reticent, soft and deceivable second young lady of the Riddle family, as she is known in the legends, is really too evil.
Selena stood in front of Mrs. Riddle, looking across at the face that Selena had once looked at for more than ten years. The eyes of Mrs. Riddle looking at Selena were forever filled with disgust and dislike, the difference was that at this time, there was horror.
Selena spoke softly, her voice small enough that only the two of them could hear it, "Why don't you treat me better? Even if it's not as good as treating Leah, but you should not hurt me. It's clearly your family of three that owes me."
Why can't you be nicer to little Selena?
She was so small, so kind and fragile, she wouldn't threaten them at all, but if they could have been nicer to little Selena, how could Selena have died?
Why is it that they, who clearly owe Selena and Nevaeh, are always justified in hurting her?
Molly was stunned as she looked at Selena's face, which resembled that of Nevaeh, and met those dark, pure eyes, her mouth moved for a moment, unable to speak for the first time.
She was indeed a mistress and did loathe Nevaeh, but she was not so heartless as to be inhumane.
It is normal for her to dislike Selena and see her as an eyesore since Selena was her husband had had with another woman.
But she is a mother with a daughter of her own, and even though she is not happy with the treatment of an innocent and lovely girl who has lost her mother, she may not really be able to be cruel and abusive.
But Leah...
Leah did not like Selena and always thought of fighting with her. As a mother, she had already let her precious daughter born as an illegitimate daughter, how could she still bear to teach her own daughter a lesson for the sake of her love rival's daughter?
Selena seemed to see what she was thinking and smiled, "Mrs. Riddle, it's all your fault that Leah has turned into what she is today."
Molly was stunned, seemingly not understanding Selena's meaning.
Selena looked at her with a calm gaze, "Haven't you ever noticed that your daughter has long since ceased to be a normal person under your indulgence? Look at the other girls at the scene, and look at Leah, is she still the same as you remember?"
Molly was stunned and subconsciously raised her head to look at Leah.
Leah was sitting in a wheelchair, her eyes deadly staring at Selena, her face full of jealousy and resentment.
Molly burst into cold sweat.
No, no, no--
Her daughter was most innocent and beautiful, intelligent and kind, when did she become so ugly and horrible?
This is not her daughter, this is not what her daughter looks like.
Her Leah was born smart, lively and lovely, first in everything she did, the greatest pride of her life, how could she suddenly, become so strange and ugly?
"It's your fault," the corner of Selena's lips raised, calmly she was telling a cruel truth, "Because you owe her, you've been letting her bully me and insult me, snatching everything I have by any means necessary, but Mrs. Riddle, you forgot to tell her what's right and what's wrong. You never said to her, as other parents do, that she can't rob what doesn't belong to her."
"Leah has lived for twenty years and spent most of her life fighting with me, she has snatched my toys, she has snatched my carnelian, she has snatched my mother's perfume recipe, she has snatched my script, she has snatched my fiancé. Not because she liked them, but because they were mine."
Selena curled her lips mockingly, "Her life has not been one iota of self other than living in my shadow and falling victim to you as a mistress."
"In the future, if I snatch back everything that belongs to me, Leah will be left with nothing, even her loving father and mother are to be sacrificed by her own hands."
With every word Selena said, Molly's face turned white, and in the end, her body shook.
"No, it is not."
She wanted to retort, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't get the words out.
She was shocked to realise that Leah had nothing at all, excluding those things she had snatched from Selena's hands.
She didn't even have a dream of her own.
Dominic was not the man she truly loved, and that man did not truly love her.
She has taken away the chairmanship of the Riddle's and angered Alberto. That man is selfish and self-serving, and will definitely not protect and love her as he once did.
She was in trouble with the law and faces jail time.
Her daughter would be left alone and badly injured, without someone to truly protect her in the future.
Molly was cold, her hands clasped her arms tightly as she looked in Leah's direction, a hint of more panic and heartache in her eyes.
Selena smiled, her tone cold, "Mrs. Riddle, do you regret it? Your life was already a failure, but you have made your daughter an even bigger failure than you."
Molly looked at her, gritting teeth, a heavy dose of remorse appeared in her eyes, along with a strong plea, "Leah is your sister, Selena, please, let her go."
Even though Mrs. Riddle did not want to admit it, she knew that with the backing of the Riddle family in the capital, there was no way that Leah could fight against Selena.
Selena caught that flash of remorse and the corners of her lips curled, "I love to hear that, but unfortunately it's too late, you'll never have the chance to teach her again," she moved closer to Molly's ear and lowered her voice, "Mrs. Riddle, you have mental illness, but Leah does not."
Molly quivered and her eyes snapped open wide.
Selena say in an indifferent tone, "Who do you think sent this batch of punks in? Just because I gave you the chance to replace her in jail doesn't mean that I can tolerate both of you two getting away with it."
"Either you and Leah has to go into prison."
After finishing, Selena stood up straight and finally looked at Molly's white face with a smile, "Mrs. Riddle, goodbye."
Having said that, she turned around, stepped on her heels and walked towards the main entrance of the courthouse.
Molly looked at her back and closed her eyes as the words spilled out of her mouth, audible to the whole room, "I plead guilty."
