She took a step forward, grabbed Klara's hand, stared into her eyes, and said coldly, "So tell me, after I warned you not to go out alone, why did you sneak out in the middle of the night?"
All of Klara's actions came to a sudden stop.
She stared at Selena, trying hard to find a trace of pity and guilt on the young girl's face across from her.
But she failed.
Selena looked at her with an icy expression, without a hint of warmth in her eyes.
Klara's heart also became cold.
She looked away in horror and then saw the gift that had fallen to the ground.
It was exquisite and obviously customized for someone.
Klara's gaze seemed to be held captive, staring blankly at the meticulously prepared gift box.
Suddenly, it seemed as if there were a pair of gentle and slender hands, carefully sealing the carefully prepared gift and eagerly sending it out.
Her gaze inexplicably moved down and she saw the check for one hundred million and the card that was permeated with tenderness even in its edges and corners.
Wholehearted.
Whose heart was being poured out?
For whom was the heart being poured out?
Suddenly, Klara seemed to have lost all her strength, she fell back onto the ground, staring blankly at those things, her face filled with bone-chilling despair.
Leia gave her a fierce glare, then hurried over to help Selena pick up the gift.
Selena was so precious about this gift that she couldn't even bear to leave it alone in the car. She had to hold it in her own hands all the way.
Seeing that Klara's emotions had calmed down, Selena let go of her hand with a cold expression.
Klara had witnessed a man's extremely subtle confession to the woman he loved, trembling all over, unable even to feel jealous.
After a long time, she suddenly smiled, looked up at Selena, and with a gaze that was either envious or pitying, she said sarcastically, "Lady Selena, you have no heart."
Selena was taken aback and squinted slightly, "I have no heart?"
"Everything you do for Creephia is heartless," Klara seemed to have given up and her shrewd face was no longer concealing her sarcasm, "You have no greed, no desire, no hatred, you don't even feel sad or upset for anyone or anything here... if that's not heartless, then what is?"
"Did you see that check? It's something that no matter how hard I try in my whole life, I can't get it. But your boyfriend just casually handed it to you, and from your expression, its only purpose is to make you happy for a moment... "
"And that card, such tenderness and care, it's something Leah can never get in her lifetime..."
"And you, you got both, and they were even handed to you. But I didn't see that genuine sense of cherishment in your eyes."
Looking at Selena's puzzled expression, Klara sneered, "I'm addicted to greed, Leah is malicious and selfish... we both harm people, but at least we live like people who belong somewhere, who have things we strive to get, and you don't!"
"You are like a cold-blooded bystander, carrying out your planned steps without allowing any unexpected occurrences!"
"As a bystander, why stay here? And why go provoke those powerful and outstanding men?" Klara seemed to be suppressing to the extreme, to the point where she couldn't help but speak out with malice, "Lady Selena, you'll see, one day, you'll pay for your coldness and arrogance!"
There seemed to be a moment of deathly silence in the hospital room.
Leia held the gift and frowned, rare for her to not defend Selena.
Selena stared at Klara silently for a long time, then took out a check from her bag and placed it on the table, turned and walked out, leaving only one sentence, "Now, you got what you wanted, you're free."
