"Otherwise, even if you enter the hospital, it's still light."
Daphne looked at her grandson in distress and suddenly became angry. "Leon!"
Penelope and Kaitlyn who were standing around her hurriedly surrounded her.
Kaitlyn patted her back affectionately, "Grandma, my brother didn't mean it. Don't get too upset."
Penelope handed her a cup of tea and said anxiously, "Grandma, my brother did it for the good of our family. Tomorrow, I will apologize to Lady Selena. I will even kneel down and beg her to let go of her resentment towards the Riddle family..."
Daphne's anger grew even stronger when she heard this.
Hattie spent four months with Selena, but after returning, she refused to get close to her again. This had already made Daphne unhappy. And now, her usually filial grandson had gone to the Turner family and listened to Selena's instigation, and even dared to curse her!
"What did Selena say to you and Hattie? I knew it. She resents me for raising Penelope and deliberately retaliates against her..."
Leon's eyes passed over Penelope's face coldly, interrupting her words. "Enough! Grandma, do you still think Selena would recognize us as the Riddle family?"
Daphne's anger subsided slightly.
Leon lowered his eyelids and sneered, "The Riddle family indirectly caused the death of Aunt Nevaeh, almost twenty years have passed and they haven't shown any concern. Instead, they raised a replacement in her image and have no family ties or gratitude. They even hold a grudge against their mother... Where do you get the confidence to think that she would still care about you, her so-called grandmother? Do you think she still cares about the so-called family ties of the Riddle family?"
Daphne's lips suddenly turned pale, and all her accusations ceased.
Leon concealed the sarcasm in his eyes and said calmly, "It's getting late, let's all go rest."
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.
If his words couldn't change Daphne's attitude, then there was no point in wasting his efforts.
As for the others, if they wanted to be foolish, he didn't care.
At the moment Leon walked out the door, a sorrowful cry suddenly erupted from behind him.
Leon didn't look back and walked into the garden. Just as he was about to open the car door, he heard a cold voice behind him. "Leon."
Leon looked up and saw that the Riddle family's young mistress had followed him out.
He smiled and walked over. "What brings you here to join the fun?"
Erica patted her son's shoulder but asked about something else. "What kind of person is that girl?"
Leon thought for a moment. "She's tough."
Erica's face was filled with realization. "She saved Hattie. I thought..." She paused for a moment, and her face turned cold. "I never noticed before that Penelope could be so troublesome."
Leon looked at his mother.
Lady Nevaeh left the capital when he was five or six years old, so it wasn't strange that Erica knew Lady Nevaeh.
"Mom, what do you want to say?"
Erica frowned for a moment, then shook her head. "I need to confirm something. I'll keep an eye on the Riddle family. Drive safely on your way back."
Leon hugged his mother and left.
...
Selena slept until daylight. The next morning, she got up and dressed and walked out of her room, looking radiant.
Patrick was already sitting at the breakfast table and looked up when he saw her coming down the stairs.
Selena met his gaze and froze.
