She had reached the unattainable heights that Selena, whom she had once ruthlessly bullied and humiliated, could only dream of. This enormous gap was nothing short of a mental torture for Leah. Especially when compared to her own miserable, helpless, and lonely situation, Selena's happiness seemed particularly dazzling.
Leah looked at the diamond ring with a malicious expression on her face, and after a moment, she screamed like a madwoman. "Everything is Selena's... Why didn't Selena die?"
The maid downstairs heard her crying and looked up at her disdainfully.
Mrs. Riddle was sent to prison, and Selena had driven Leah out of the Riddle family. Now she was just a despised illegitimate daughter. Even Mrs. Walson, who used to protect her, rarely came to see her lately. After her disgusting character was exposed, who would still treat her as a wealthy young lady? If it weren't for the high salary, no one would be willing to serve her.
She had fallen so low, yet she still didn't know how to repent. This woman was truly beyond redemption!
...
Mrs. Walson also saw the diamond ring and his face suddenly turned white. "We have to put pressure on Leah. Once Selena gets the marriage certificate, she can use her mother's 20% stake. By then, the Riddle family will be completely hers!"
Leah was no longer of any use to the Walson family and would become a burden full of troubles.
Dominic sat on the stairs, looking at the photos Selena had posted on the screen, without saying a word.
Mrs. Walson slapped the table hard, and shouted angrily, "Dominic, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
Dominic looked up at her with a confused look, his face full of frustration, and said expressionlessly, "I heard you."
They had caused such a big mess for the Walson family. The reason why Cyril was still enduring was because of the shares in Alberto's hands. As long as those Riddle family shares could smoothly fall into Leah's hands, they could fill the losses they caused for the Walson family. That was their last hope.
Mrs. Walson saw Dominic's lost and desperate look and suddenly became furious. "What's the use of regret now? If it weren't for you being stupid, who gave up Selena between Leah and Selena, the Walson family would have been thriving. How did it end up like this?"
Despite Mrs. Walson's efforts to convince herself, she couldn't hide her anger and pain at Selena's current value and status.
If it weren't for Dominic's blindness and refusal to listen to her, Selena would have married into the Walson family long ago.
If it weren't for his stupidity and unwillingness to inconvenience Leah even bit, Selena wouldn't have completely given up and broken off the engagement with him, and the Walson family wouldn't have come to this point today.
So many good opportunities slipped through their fingers, and every time Mrs. Walson thinks about it, he can't help but want to strangle Dominic.
"Dominic, listen to me. The reputation of the Walson family has been completely ruined because of you three fools!"
"The Walson Group is on the verge of collapse. If it continues to develop like this, you won't be the young master of the Walson family anymore. You might as well go beg on the street!"
"The profits from Leah's script and all of Alberto's shares must be in our hands. If there is even the slightest mistake, don't bother coming back!"
Hearing Mrs. Walson's furious voice, Dominic clenched his fists and suddenly stood up. "I'm going to find Leah."
He walked out of the Walson family, but instead of going to find Leah, he found a corner and crouched down.
Dominic looked at the hand on the screen wearing a diamond ring, unable to hide the intense disappointment and tremble on his face.
The girl who had followed him since childhood, shouting that she liked him and would definitely marry him in the future, was now wearing a ring... and became another man's wife.
It turned out that watching the person you love lying in another person's arms, with a cunning and charming appearance, was such a painful and oppressive torture.
And Selena, who had almost endured this kind of torture every day, not only had to endure the almost unbearable sadness, but also had to endure his various accusations, verbal abuse, and humiliation, regardless of right or wrong.
She could only endure it silently, watching him dote on another woman, unable to speak out, let alone accuse him.
But she still persisted in her love for him for more than ten years, exhausting all her efforts, hoping that he would also fall in love with her...
Dominic crouched down on the street, his hands covering his head, letting out a suppressed sob from his throat.
"Selena, I was wrong. Come back to me, and I promise to treat you well, okay..."
Unfortunately, no matter how regretful and sad he was, that woman would never come back.
...
In the Riddle family building, Leon also saw those three photos.
The hand wearing the diamond ring is slender and flexible, beautiful and delicate, obviously a woman's hand.
The daughter of the Riddle family is extremely beautiful.
When these photos were released, countless people in the capital couldn't sit still.
Leon put down his phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the ever-changing city of the capital below.
This is the most concentrated area of power in the entire H Country, controlling the most high-end resources, technology, and economic lifelines.
People outside are fighting to get in, but those born here don't want to leave.
Lady Nevaeh left the capital when Leon was only five years old. He didn't have a strong impression of Lady Nevaeh, but vaguely remembered her as a lively and passionate woman.
Compared to Selena now, she is... not alike.
Although Leon has only briefly met Selena, he can clearly sense her coldness and lack of emotions.
But she has now accepted that man's proposal.
Does she really like him... or was she fooled by that man?
Leon suddenly wants to call Selena and ask if she knows what it means to release that photo.
She is Lady Nevaeh's daughter from the Riddle family, and she may not want to answer his call.
After a moment of silence, Leon realizes that this fact is no longer a secret in the capital.
And she is very likely the child of Lady Nevaeh and the Turner family's man.
Once a daughter with their blood enters the capital, all the noble families who once had a grudge with the Turner family will not tolerate her.
The man from the Anderson family is not only a deterrent, but also a trigger for revenge.
But Selena doesn't like it. She orders her assistant, "Send someone to find the contact information for the Turner family."
She doesn't like the Riddle family, but based on Patrick's words at the fragrance competition, she should listen to him to some extent.
"Yes!"
...
At this moment, Weibo has once again become a battlefield.
Isabel, using Michelle's name as the daughter of the Collins family, publicly accuses Selena of being a third party.
