Chapter 5
Those eyes were intensely black and lightless, hollow, locked firmly on Mrs. Riddle, cold and piercing.
Mrs. Riddle’s face gradually turned white as she was creeped out by these eyes.
Selena revealed a warmless smile and said in a cold tone, “Since you like being an animal so much, I will definitely arrange a good place for you in the future, to ensure that you and them will be inseparable for the rest of your life.”
Mrs. Riddle shuddered sharply, looking at her step daughter, who had suddenly become a stranger before her, with more than unease in her
heart.
At this moment, Leah Riddle stood at the entrance of the staircase, wearing a long aqua dress, carrying a bag, her make-up exquisite, looking at Selena’s face, her eyes showing deep jealousy.
Her features are not as delicate as Selena’s, but her eyes look pure, making people want to pity her.
Leah smiled brightly, “Sis, do you think my outfit beautiful? The dress and the bag are both Chanel exclusives, Dominic sent them especially to please me.”
Her eyes carried a deep sense of complacency, “It’s a pity that you were so close to becoming Dominic’s wife, but after that scandal, you still lost all your work, but it doesn’t matter, although you can’t become Dominic’s wife, I will definitely help you find a “good man”. I will not let you be alone for the rest of your life.”
However, listening to Leah’s unconcealed words of bragging, Selena still looked aloof.
Looking at Selena’s impassive face, which was not as stoic and painful as usual, surprise swept across Leah’s eyes.
As if remembering something, she added in a soft voice.
“How did you recuperate from your injury, Sis? I wasn’t hurt very badly, but Dominic had to accompany me to the hospital, and got me a vip ward to take care of me personally, and the food was from specially tailored recipes, even when I had to go out for air, he didn’t feel at ease.”
Selena stared at her and asked an unexpected question, “How much did you sell me for?”
The scandal happened when it was Selena’s birthday. She waited for Dominic in the hotel with great anticipation for a day, but Dominic never showed up because Leah was sick.
Selena waited until late at night, but Dominic did not appear in the end.
Even more coincidentally, there happened to be a couple of men who barged in as her drugs were kicking in, and the security guards ignored her pleas for help.
Although Selena managed to escape in the end, the photo of her running away in the street was taken, and the angle was so tricky that it was a cause for reverie.
If Selena had not been lucky that day, she would be raped, she would have lost her reputation and been worse off than dead.
But now it’s no better, disliked by the man she loves, repudiated, infamous and even dead.
Not a bit of life was left for the damsel in distress.
That’s cruel!
Leah smiled and was just about to speak, but she saw Dominic, who had just entered the house, and her showy expression abruptly faded.
Her face was instantly covered with teardrops, her voice was full of self-blame and guilt, she raised her hand to grab Selena’s hand, “I’m sorry, that day was my fault, I shouldn’t have gotten sick, shouldn’t have bothered Dominic, shouldn’t have failed to go with you for your birthday, if I knew something like this would happen, I would have never…”
Selena frowned and smacked the hand away.
