Selena's tone remained unchanged as she walked straight towards the center of the stage. "Since I don't know you, there's no need for me to answer your idiotic questions."
This undoubtedly angered the person speaking, whose voice suddenly became sharp. "How dare you curse at me?"
Before Selena could respond, Patrick's icy voice had already sounded. "Lady Selena is right. If you're not an idiot, then it's not your turn to speak at this time."
The person obviously paused for a moment, then sneered angrily, "You are a sickly person who won't live long, what are you pretending to be a hero for? Do you still think the Turner family is the same as before? The capital is no longer under your family's control--"
Selena's gaze suddenly turned cold, and a terrifying aura emanated from her body as she stared coldly in that direction, fixated on the box.
...
Tonyan Town.
Hattie threw the object in her hand onto the ground, startling everyone.
The crowd looked up to see her face, icy and bone-chilling.
Hattie jumped off the sofa and grabbed the phone she had thrown aside, dialing Leon's number.
Leon must have been mentally prepared, as he picked up the phone quickly, but before he could say anything. Hattie spoke first, her face expressionless and cold. "Brother, if you keep dealing with these unsavory things and using your status to make Selena unhappy, I will disown you just like Selena did."
Leon seemed to have said something, but Hattie frowned and for once, worry appeared on her otherwise emotionless face.
What did that woman do to target Selena at the fragrance competition?
Could it be for...
...
At the fragrance competition venue, Selena's sudden anger frightened the people around her.
The crowd looked at her with fear, feeling a bit intimidated.
After a long time, Selena suddenly lowered her long eyelashes, covering up the icy coldness in her eyes.
She suppressed her cold killing intent, smiled faintly, and spoke in a tone devoid of warmth, "Kaitlyn made a mistake with her words, so I made her kneel in front of everyone and apologize to Hattie." She will forever be nailed to the position of illegitimate daughter."
She let out a cold laugh and said, "Whoever you are, I remember what you said with your mouth!"
After a while, she spoke again with a domineering tone that seemed to be trying to cover up her nervousness. "Selena, you're trying to change the subject! I asked those questions to uncover the truth. As a person involved in this, you have a duty to clarify things for everyone. But you keep beating around the bush and don't even have the courage to face the truth. What are you afraid of?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Selena's lips. She withdrew her gaze and ignored her words.
Kaitlyn became even more angry and turned her attention to the Perfume Association. "What is the Perfume Association doing? Mr. Mitchell is a member of your association. Selena has left so many loopholes in her story that it's very likely she's falsely accusing him. Why aren't you investigating?"
