Time slipped away gradually.
When the sky outside the window was completely dark, Selena put down the paintbrush in her hand.
She stood up and calmly walked to the bathroom.
Leia was worried about Hattie and had been sitting restlessly. When she saw Selena standing up, she immediately walked over. She had intended to speak, but suddenly saw the painting Selena had just finished. She was stunned and stared at it for a long time until Selena finished washing her hands and came out, causing her to snap out of it.
Selena wiped her hair with a towel and went downstairs to have dinner.
Leia looked at Selena's back and then turned to look at the painting again. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but seemed unsure how to express herself. She stomped her foot and ran out to catch up with Selena.
...
The moment Selena put down her spoon, the doctor called.
"Lady Selena, Miss Hattie is fine. This situation is mostly due to the little girl's psychological effect. She was afraid that the Riddle family would send her to a mental hospital, which caused her anxiety."
Selena lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I see."
After that, she hung up the phone.
Patrick looked up and saw Selena wiping her fingers with a handkerchief. He was not surprised by the doctor's words and guessed it long ago.
"The struggles of the wealthy families are cruel. Miss Riddle is only thirteen years old, and apart from Leon, there is no one she can rely on... It's normal to be afraid."
Selena's eyes deepened. "The Riddle family won't let a mental patient have the right of inheritance. Now, she is officially at a disadvantage in the competition against the Riddle twins."
"That's not necessarily true," Patrick coughed. "The Riddle family's illegitimate son has a congenital heart disease. Compared to Miss Riddle, he has the possibility of being cured. That young master can die at any moment."
Selena smiled and did not continue the topic of the Riddle family. "There are many things to do tomorrow. Rest well tonight."
After that, she turned and went upstairs.
Patrick saw her back and the words that had been on his lips were swallowed back.
As the person in charge of the Capital Medical College, Patrick knew more about the Riddle family than anyone else. Originally, according to the young master's condition, he couldn't live past the age of fifteen.
A few months ago, he had received several notices of his critical condition, but unexpectedly, he suddenly began to improve in a strange way. At the same time, Mrs. Riddle died under mysterious circumstances.
Patrick lowered his eyes, hiding his expression.
Although Selena appeared calm, everyone could see that Hattie was important to her.
The situation of the Turner family is far more complicated and heavy than that of the Riddle family. Selena has her own pile of troubles that she hasn't solved yet. If she rashly gets involved in the Riddle family's affairs, it will only make her and the Turner family's situation even more dangerous and difficult. It seems that Selena had anticipated everything early on, which is why she appeared so calm. Such a gentle yet ruthless woman...
The next day, it seemed that even the weather felt the unusual restlessness in the air, sweeping away the ice, snow, and haze of the past few days, and becoming clear and sunny.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the entrance of the Capital Expo was packed with people and traffic jams, and the media gathered.
The bright red carpet spread to the end of sight, and countless celebrities and luxury cars drove in. Foreign faces were everywhere, including many famous celebrities in various fields.
