Leon had no idea.
He just looked at the distant sky, thinking of Selena's dark and profound eyes, hoping deeply that his only remaining sister could return safely.
...
Inside the villa.
As soon as Leon left the Riddle's building, Selena stood up from the pavilion with a graceful movement.
Her slender fingers brushed over her dress, shaking off the scattered flowers on the ground.
She walked towards the hall, and her icy voice came through the wind, "Tell them, from now on, I don't want to see the so-called 'the Riddle Group' in the capital city!"
Leia was startled.
This order from Selena meant that there would be no more Riddle family in the capital city, except for Leon's line, and the Riddle family would face complete destruction.
It also meant that the four major families would come to an end.
The Shaw family was expelled from the research institute, the Soo family, except for Alfie, were all in prison, the Poole family lost half of their power, and the Riddle family had only Leon's line left...
The power struggle in the capital city had come to an end.
Even though Leia didn't like the people of the four families, she couldn't help feeling complicated when she saw this outcome.
When Selena first arrived in the capital city, no one probably expected that the once-powerful four major families would come to an end in this way.
Those slender hands had turned the world upside down.
Leia looked at Selena's slender figure and suddenly felt a deep awe rising from the bottom of her heart.
So much so that the usually lively girl spoke with extra restraint, "I understand, Madam Selena."
Selena sat down on the sofa in the hall, picked up the teapot with her delicate fingers, and poured herself a cup of tea.
She looked at the clear blue tea in the bone china cup, her eyes deep.
As a Manny, that woman had only committed a moral mistake and could only be condemned, but not punished.
But if the skin was peeled off, and the evil face hidden inside was exposed, they could openly judge all her sins!
At that time, the people behind her would not be able to escape either!
...
Inside the small storage room, Ache and Hattie held their breath and listened to the footsteps approaching the door outside.
Hattie almost instantly recovered from the fear of the blood on her hands for the first time, and clenched the gun in her hand.
Ache's hollow eyes were fixed on the door.
Under the vigilant gaze of the two, the door in front of them was pushed open from the outside, and Hunter stood at the door with a gun in his hand, his face gloomy.
Hattie's hand, which was about to pull the trigger, froze in midair, and she stared at the person outside the door with hatred.
Ache, pale-faced, stood behind Hattie to protect her. Before Hunter could speak, he spoke first, "She's your daughter. You killed her mother, do you want to kill her too?"
Hunter was suddenly stunned. He knew Hattie was his daughter and that killing his own child was wrong. But he had just received a call from Manny, who had hysterically demanded that he immediately kill Hattie at any cost. The crazed and distorted voice had made Hunter's heart palpitate and made him more unable to resist.
If it weren't for Ache, he would have shot Hattie the moment he found her. Thinking of Manny's insane and painful voice, Hunter's face darkened, "Move aside!"
He had been indoctrinated that Ache and Kaitlyn were the "fruits of love" between him and Manny, and although he loathed Hattie, he could not harm these two children.
Ache gently grabbed Hattie's hand and didn't move.
Hunter lost his patience and raised his gun, aiming it at Hattie.
