Soon, only Daphne and Manny, who was holding her arm, remained on the scene.
Daphne's face was pale, and she was trembling with anger. She had come here today to ask Selena to release Penelope and stop targeting the Riddle family. Although Selena had hinted that the crisis at the Riddle family had been resolved, she still refused to release Penelope!
Daphne was unwilling, but had no choice but to turn around and get into the car. Suddenly, she remembered that Leon had hung up on her call earlier, and couldn't help feeling uneasy. "Let's not go back yet, let's go check on Hattie," she said.
Manny spoke softly, "Madam, the hospital called earlier about Ache and Penelope. It seems that their condition is not very good..."
Daphne became anxious, "Let's go to the hospital!"
The driver frowned, "But Madam, Miss... "
Daphne interrupted, "With Leon watching over her, what could possibly happen? Let's go to the hospital now!"
Although the driver was reluctant, he had no choice but to obey as a servant.
As they were about to get into the car, Manny turned around and looked at the tightly closed black iron gate. He thought of the sentence Selena had said to her earlier, and a cold look flashed across his eyes.
...
After Selena finished breakfast in the hall, she took Leia and left. Once she was gone, Patrick's cold eyes turned to Osvaldo.
Selena was not a person to become emotional for no reason. The only times she had become emotionally unstable in the past were when she found out Callum was still alive during the International Perfume Competition, and when she was poisoned.
This time...
Thinking of Selena's dislike for Daphne, Patrick suddenly had a very bad feeling.
Osvaldo stared at Selena's back until she was out of sight before turning his gaze back to Patrick. He said coldly, "Tell Leon to choose between the Riddle family's elders and the Riddle family!"
Patrick's eyes suddenly widened in alarm.
...
Leia drove Selena to the Rose Manor on the outskirts of the city. Selena got out of the car without even glancing at her surroundings, and walked straight into the estate.
Although it was winter, all she could see were roses in full bloom, spreading their fragrance everywhere.
As Selena's gaze fell upon the red roses, she thought of the rose garden at the Turner family mansion, where Callum had planted roses for Nevaeh over the past twenty years, only for it to become another woman's lifelong heartache.
At the end of the rose garden, Milana sat barefoot on a rattan chair, playing with a deep red rose in her hand. There were several empty bottles scattered messily on the table in front of her.
Selena walked up to her and stopped a meter away, speaking politely, "Miss Poole, I've come to retrieve something my father left with you."
Milana raised her gaze, her eyes icy. "You haven't avenged him or the Turner family yet!"
Selena smiled. "I will avenge every one of them."
