Leaving a few words behind, Selena turned around and opened the door, walking out.
Outside the door was a group of anxious and uneasy people. Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, they all looked over like frightened birds.
The hallway was unusually quiet.
Selena lazily leaned against the door frame, her icy gaze fixed on Leah. "Leah, do you think that you can get away with being pregnant and having that woman backing you up? Are you untouchable now?"
Leah forced herself to contain her emotions and said calmly, "Selena, don't accuse us without evidence. Everyone here witnessed what happened today. Your sister and Estrella were the aggressors, while Mr. Gibson and I were the victims."
She deliberately showed the scratches on her hand and said angrily, "Your sister beat Mr. Gibson until he was covered in blood and she even scratched me. We showed her mercy by not calling the police or retaliating against her because she's a minor."
"Estrella got off easy. She only received a few slaps to the face, while Mr. Gibson's head was bleeding. Selena, you need to understand that Mr. Gibson and I are the real victims in this situation. Your sister is the perpetrator, and nothing can change that fact."
Other people heard Leah's words and began to speak up in anger.
"What Mrs. Walson said is true. Selena, you can't be unreasonable just because that girl is your sister."
"It was the girl's fault from the beginning. We were all talking calmly, but she suddenly grabbed a stick and hit Mr. Gibson in the head. If it were you, could you have held back your anger?"
"That girl didn't look normal. Can a normal person have that kind of look and expression? She hurt someone first, and you're arresting them after the fact. You're going too far!"
"Selena, even if you have the Olympus Group and your boyfriend backing you up, you can't be so domineering. Let us go now!"
Selena looked at the smug expression on Leah's face and remembered the bloody bruises on Hattie's shoulder. Her expression turned cold as she walked over and raised her hand, slapping Leah hard across the face.
Leah realized something was wrong when Selena came over and tried to step back, but Selena moved too quickly, and she couldn't avoid it. She took a solid slap to the face.
"Selena!" Leah's face twisted in pain.
The others were also frightened by the loud slap and all the sharp accusations suddenly disappeared.
Before they could react, Selena raised her hand again and delivered another hard slap to the other side of Leah's face.
Leah's entire face turned pale, indicating how much force Selena had used.
She stared at Selena with resentment.
Selena grabbed both of Leah's hands and looked at the sharp nails, which had lost all trace of blood. Her expression turned even colder. "Leah, do you not want these hands anymore?"
Leah naturally knew why Selena had hit her. She sneered, "Selena, do you really dare to chop off my hands in public? What did I do wrong? Who gave you the right to treat me like this?"
She had been pinched hard, but she didn't regret it.
