"I'm not Dominic, put away your act!"
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Leah's face as she bit her lip, looking at Mrs. Walson. She whispered, "Madam, what happened tonight was really unexpected. I never thought Angie would..."
"If I wasn't sure you didn't have any ill intentions, do you think you'd still be sitting here talking to me?" Mrs. Walson's gaze was sharp.
Leah's face twitched, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
Before tonight, even if Mrs. Walson didn't like her, she wouldn't have spoken to her like this.
But tonight, Angie suffered such humiliation. She was in the wrong in front of Mrs. Walson, and on top of that, the Riddle family was no match for the Walson family. Now there was no one to support her.
Leah had to endure Mrs. Walson's dissatisfaction in silence.
Leah lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Madam. Angie grew up with me. Please believe me, I never thought of hurting her..."
Mrs. Walson snorted coldly. "Whether you're sincere or not, I don't have time to listen to you. I just want you to do one thing!"
Leah seemed to guess what Mrs. Walson was going to say and was terrified. "Madam, I..."
"Don't tell me you can't do it," Mrs. Walson stared into her eyes, her face cold with insight. "I know exactly how capable you are. In the face of Selena and the Riddle family from the capital backing her, you dared to come up with such a vicious plan to deal with her. Do you dare to tell me that you have no one backing you up?"
Leah trembled and said in a low, timid voice, "But... they may not agree to it..."
"Then you find a way to make them agree," Mrs. Walson's tone became more forceful. "Angie has already suffered so much harm. I absolutely will not allow this matter to be exposed, let alone allow the Walson family to suffer any losses because of it."
M City was the Watts family's territory, and the Walson family didn't have enough power to suppress the Watts family. They were at a loss.
Therefore, they needed someone who could suppress the Watts family and the Perfume Association and appear as a representative.
And that person could only be contacted through Leah.
Leah looked hesitant. "Madam, it's not that I don't want to help, but I really..."
"Leah," Mrs. Walson's tone suddenly softened. She approached Leah, patting her on the shoulder. "I know you're a smart kid. As long as you're willing, there's nothing you can't do."
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you can find a way to keep the Watts family quiet, I'll take care of the Perfume Association and the media's mouths."
Leah thought for a moment before saying, "Madam, I promise you, I'll try my best."
Mrs. Walson smiled satisfactorily and touched Leah's hair, "This is my good daughter-in-law."
Leah suddenly looked up and looked at Mr. Walson, "But, even if we silence Adeline and the others, what about Selena and Ghost, and the young master of the Turner family?"
These three people are the most difficult to offend, and it's impossible to bribe them.
Mrs. Walson gave Leah a meaningful glance, "Before I came here, I looked at the information on those two people. They are not the kind of people who will lower themselves to slander others, as long as..."
She grabbed Leah's hair and spoke with a stern warning, "No one should mention this matter in front of them on purpose!"
Leah was in pain from being pulled and her face turned pale, "I definitely won't mention it."
Mrs. Walson sneered, let go of her hair, and lit a cigarette for herself. A hint of sorrow appeared on her face, "As for Selena... I will personally talk to her."
The Riddle family from the capital openly defended Selena, and Leon personally acknowledged her as their granddaughter in place of the Riddle family...
Selena became the most prestigious young lady of the Riddle family from the capital.
Every time Mrs. Walson thought of this, she couldn't help but feel regret and anger.
If Selena had married Dominic back then, the Walson family would now be in-laws with the Riddle family from the capital, and success would be within reach. But all of this was ruined by Leah.
Mrs. Walson thought of this, and his expression towards Leah became even worse. She warned her with a glare and then walked out.
After Mrs. Walson left, Leah slowly lifted her head, her face full of cold resentment.
After a moment, she picked up her phone from the table and sent a text message to an unmarked number.
This text message was not entirely due to Mrs. Walson's threat.
The main reason was that she had carelessly handed over the biggest leverage to Angie.
Angie was impulsive and spoiled, and once she woke up and saw her reputation ruined, she would become furious and say something that would cause her to lose her greatest value and reliance.
Therefore, Leah had to help Angie and suppress this matter.
With a "buzz," a new text message arrived on her phone.
Leah looked down at the content and a sly expression crossed her eyes.
She tightened her grip on her phone and turned her head to look at the top floor of the hotel opposite her.
That was where Selena lived.
Tonight, Angie and she had both suffered such a huge setback, but Selena had not suffered any losses.
Not only had she not suffered any losses, but she had even cleared her name within the perfume industry and dispelled suspicions of seducing judges.
Leah thought of Selena's proud and beautiful appearance, and her forehead turned red with anger.
Although the surveillance footage showed that it was just an accidental mistake that led to Beatrix dragging Angie into her room tonight, Leah had a feeling that there was a deeper level of intrigue at play.
Someone must have helped Selena behind the scenes and helped her escape danger.
Furthermore, the other party even helped Selena take revenge on them harshly.
Who was this person?
Ghost or Patrick?
Why do they want to help Selena?
Leah stared fixedly at the window of the room where Selena slept, recalling how Selena was able to sleep soundly when they were in such a mess...
Leah's eyes were filled with endless resentment and jealousy.
She remembered three years ago, when she was the one who was in control of everything, while Selena was the poor victim who was bullied to the point where she couldn't even reach the stage.
But now everything has completely turned upside down.
They both cried all night and couldn't sleep.
Selena, under the protection of a mysterious man, was recklessly doing as she pleased.
Selena!
...
Time slipped away bit by bit.
The sky gradually brightened.
Leia rubbed her eyes and was about to wake Selena up when she suddenly heard a low and dark voice from the opposite side, "Let her sleep longer."
When Leia heard this voice, she shuddered, and all her sleepiness instantly disappeared.
She looked up at the man lazily leaning against Selena's room, her expression a bit tangled, "But... the award ceremony is at nine o'clock..."
Getting up now would be just in time.
The man casually dropped a line, "Let them all wait."
