Constance gritted her teeth in anger. If she had known that Selena was a graduate of Lab 717, she would never have recklessly confronted her.
Constance hated Selena with a passion, but now was not the time to retaliate. She had to protect herself first.
"Mom, Selena wants to help Kyra clear her name!"
Mrs. Baxter was shocked, "What happened?"
Constance's face was full of resentment. "She openly used her Weibo account to repost the news from five years ago and claimed that she personally intervened on behalf of Kyra to clear her name on the Lab 717 website!"
"Now the whole internet is paying attention to this matter."
"Who knows, tomorrow morning, that case might be reopened for retrial!"
"And you, mom, were the one who accused Kyra and sent her to prison. If this case is retried, you will definitely go to jail!"
Mrs. Baxter was not afraid, "I am her mother. How dare she!"
Constance sneered, "Kyra doesn't dare, but Selena does. She even killed her own adoptive parents. Is there anything she wouldn't do?"
"This is the Baxter family's business. When will the Turner family interfere?"
Constance remembered what Diego had said in the study earlier today and taunted, "What if grandpa asks Selena to help Kyra?"
Mrs. Baxter's tone suddenly changed, "How could that happen..."
Constance cried, "Grandpa only has Kyra in his heart. He wants Kyra to replace me in the Baxter family. He would do anything for Kyra... "
Mrs. Baxter thought of Selena's ruthless tactics and became somewhat flustered. "I'll go find Kyra! As long as she gives up her appeal, even if Selena wants to interfere, she has no standing!"
Constance looked smug on her face, but humbly said, "Thank you, mom. Rest assured, after this is over, I will definitely become your pride again."
Although Mrs. Baxter was unhappy with what Constance had done to tarnish the reputation of the Baxter family, she couldn't bring herself to be too harsh on her daughter, whom she had carefully nurtured for more than 20 years.
"You'll stay outside for a while. Once the dust settles, I'll come get you back."
"Thank you, mom."
...
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Baxter immediately went to find Kyra. However, she was stopped by a young girl standing outside her room.
Mrs. Baxter initially thought she was a servant of the Baxter family, but only realized the person was a stranger when stopped in her tracks.
She frowned, "Who are you? Kyra has such a nerve to bring anyone to the Baxter family. It's embarrassing!"
Leia stared at the woman with her poised demeanor and sharp expression, squinting dangerously. "I am the bodyguard hired by Diego to protect Miss Kyra from any harm by the Baxter family."
Mrs. Baxter's face turned slightly pale. "You're talking nonsense--"
"In any case, with me here, the Baxter family won't lay a finger on Miss Kyra!" Leia interrupted rudely, pushing Mrs. Baxter as she spoke.
Mrs. Baxter fell to the ground, her face turning pale as she began to scream.
The people of the Baxter family heard her cries and rushed over.
