As the Poole siblings were about to enter, a crisp voice suddenly rang out behind them, "Winnie, stop!"
Winnie's expression changed as she stopped and turned around to see Hattie stomping over in her little boots, glaring at her with disapproval. "Apologize!" Hattie demanded.
"Why should I?" Winnie pressed down her displeasure.
Selena had ruined her hard work over the years, and now she wanted Winnie to apologize to her? Dream on!
Christ also stopped in his tracks, turning to meet Leon's gaze with a half-smile.
Leon, holding onto the little Hattie like a rooster, felt a bit of a headache. The doctor had said that Hattie had been under a lot of stress lately and her mental condition was unstable. All her negative emotions would be amplified, so it was best not to expose her to outsiders for a short period of time. But tonight's award ceremony was important to Selena and Nevaeh, and Hattie didn't want to miss it. Leon couldn't bear to leave the sick little girl locked up in the room to watch the livestream, so he brought her along.
However, before they even entered the venue, this happened.
The media's cameras focused on this rare scene, frantically capturing it.
Hattie glared at Winnie. "You slandered Selena. Apologize to her now!"
Winnie frowned.
The matter of Miss Riddle's mental illness had already spread throughout the entire family circle in recent days. If she insisted on making a fuss with a child with a mental illness, it would only make her seem rude.
Winnie suppressed her inner displeasure and pursed her lips. "Miss Riddle, we all know that you have a good relationship with Selena, but you can't blindly defend her without considering the facts."
"What I said, all the students at Capital University know. You can ask her in person later to see if what I said is true or not."
Hattie was not aware of what was happening at Capital University, but she knew that there must be something wrong with what Winnie was saying!
Hattie snorted and pointed her finger at Winnie's nose. "Selena would never destroy your team, let alone bully others with her father's status. It must be you who is talking nonsense!"
Winnie was getting a bit annoyed, but she still maintained her demeanor as a young lady from a prominent family. "If you don't believe me, you can ask the Capital University's students present to see if what I said is true!"
As soon as Winnie finished speaking, the young ladies standing behind her couldn't wait to speak up.
"Miss Poole is telling the truth. On Selena's first day at Capital University, Hamish publicly announced his withdrawal from the laboratory."
"Afterwards, she found the laboratory left by Dean Turner, but she claimed it for herself, even refusing to let Miss Poole use it, even when Selena's hand was injured and she couldn't study."
"She came to school the day before yesterday and told Cameron in person that the data was left by Dean Turner, and the Soo family had no right to touch it. If it weren't for Penelope and the teachers blocking her, Cameron would have definitely quit. Isn't this Selena's fault?"
