"But trying to fly up to the branch like a phoenix is simply a delusion!"
Hattie was so angry that she wanted to pounce on her, but Selena grabbed Hattie's hand, looked down at the pouting child's face, and smiled slightly, "Be good, don't be angry."
Hattie glared at Cindy viciously, "This woman's mouth is too foul, she deserves a beating!"
Selena patted the child's head and smiled helplessly, "Hattie, as a high and mighty lady, not everyone is worth your attention. If she makes you unhappy, just ignore her. There's no need to waste your energy on someone like her."
Cindy was provoked by the other party's condescending attitude, and was about to curse back, when Selena suddenly looked up and glanced at her.
Selena was clearly smiling, but the coldness emanating from her eyes made Cindy suddenly shiver.
For an instant, there was a feeling of being crushed and broken by the other party's gaze, like being stabbed and bleeding.
Selena's lips curled into a cold smile, "I dared to beat Diana half to death. Is it that difficult to punish someone like you?"
Cindy's face suddenly turned pale.
Diana had a background in the police district, and among all the young ladies present, she was probably the strongest. Selena not only crippled her hands, but also publicly beat her half to death and sent her to jail... why wouldn't she dare to punish Cindy?
Immediately, when Cindy looked at Selena, there was more fear and dread in her eyes.
"Selena is right," Hattie snorted coldly, "Why should I lower myself to argue with a woman who has nothing but a big mouth and no brains? When I go back, I will tell my brother and Osvaldo that she bullied me, and they will teach her how to behave!"
Cindy's face turned even paler, "You-"
Selena looked at the child's petulant face and smiled, about to say something, when suddenly a gentle voice came from beside her, "Hattie, Cindy didn't bully you. We all saw it. Lying is not a good habit. You never used to lie. Why did you suddenly learn to be bad?"
Hattie heard this voice and her pretty face suddenly turned cold, glaring at Penelope with a face full of hostility, "Shut up!"
Penelope walked over, not at all angry at Hattie's attitude, and kindly said with a smile, "Okay, I won't say anything else. It's just that Grandma asked me to remind you to come back to the main mansion for dinner tonight. It's a family banquet, and we should all gather and have a good time..."
Hattie was trembling with anger, wishing she could pounce on Penelope and tear her apart.
Through the doorway, Lady Lauren stood inside, watching the scene with a slight frown.
Leia stood behind her, full of anger. "That shameless woman!" she exclaimed, about to rush out and kill Penelope. But Lady Lauren suddenly raised her hand and stopped her. "Let's watch first," she said.
Outside the door, Selena's gaze fell on Penelope's face. Seeing the expression on her face, Selena gradually stopped smiling. Her eyes moved back and forth on Penelope, who was wearing a white coat and had a cool and elegant demeanor. Then she looked down at Hattie. "Hattie, aren't you going to introduce me to Selena?" Penelope asked.
