Chapter 364 Helping Selena to clarify?
Being collaborative in preparation for the filming of 'Love in City', her attitude towards Dominic can naturally no longer be as perfunctory as it was in the past.
Add to that the fact that she has been removed from gentry and she has nothing but shares in Riddle's.
To re-enter the ranks of the gentry, Dominic is now undoubtedly her best bet.
For a while now, their relationship has drifted back to the old sweet days.
It was just that Dominic had come to her at this time, did it have anything to do with Selena?
Leah is not stupid, on the contrary, she is a very clever and cunning woman.
But at the moment, she was confused as to the intention of Dominic coming to her at this time.
"Tell Mr. Walson to wait for a while, I'll be down soon."
"Okay."
After the maid went away, Leah changed into a long white dress, put on light make-up and then headed out of the room in her wheelchair.
Dominic was sitting on the sofa when he heard the sound of wheels and looked up to see Leah sliding down the stairs in her wheelchair.
With a frown, he got up and walked over, helping Leah push the wheelchair to the sofa.
Leah observed his face and her heart sank slightly, but on her lips she asked in a kind and understanding manner, "Dominic, you've come to see me, is there something wrong?"
Dominic looked at her pale face. The Riddle family had recently had a lot of incidents, and Leah had been seriously injured, she was haggard and silent.
It was heartbreaking for Dominic to see it in his eyes.
He touched her face and asked gently, "Leah, did the doctor say when your hands and feet will heal?"
Leah smiled, the right amount of weariness in her eyes, "Don't worry, Dominic, the doctor said my hand and foot will heal in less than a month, it won't affect my participation in the perfume competition."
She has confidence when it comes to perfumery competitions.
Riddle's reputation is currently in tatters and funds are in short supply, so the Walson's has injected a large portion of the funds to fill that hole. If in the end Leah fails to win the trophy, or if 'Love in City' does not become a big hit, then not only will Riddle's reputation not be preserved, but the Walson's will be dragged down.
Leah looked so confident, which made Dominic's heart feel relieved.
But this is not the main reason why he came to see Leah today.
Dominic looked at Leah's bright, watery eyes, paused for a moment and asked in a voice, "Leah, did you see the scandals about Selena?"
Sure enough, he was here for Selena.
While Leah laughed coldly in her heart, her brow furrowed and her smile faded.
She lowered her head, her face pale, and said coldly, "I don't know, I haven't read the news online for a long time, and I haven't paid any attention to Selena. Has something happened to her?"
The next words that came out of Dominic's mouth were inexplicably a bit unspoken when he thought of Leah's comments over the past two months.
But remembering the situation Selena is in today...
"Selena has been exposed to photos of her fooling around with men, and now the whole internet is slandering her, she's getting ruined."
Leah bit her lip for a moment before she spoke out, "So that's it, then Dominic, what did you come to see me for today?"
Dominic looked at her with obscure eyes, "Leah, it's your and my fault that Selena would experience such a thing, I hope we can step in to help her clarify the truth."
Leah jerked her head up and stared deadly at Dominic, "What did you say?"
Let her go and help Selena clarify?
Is she out of her mind?
It is impossible!
Dominic sank his face by her overreaction, his expression was more than complicated, "Leah, you know what happened in that case. If Selena hadn't been sick on her nineteenth birthday, and I hadn't left her alone in the hotel all day, she wouldn't have met these..."
Not to mention the subsequent repudiation of the marriage.
He and Selena would not have come to this point where they are strangers.
This is what Dominic regrets most in his heart.
So when he saw those news, he did not despise and denigrate Selena as he did in the past, but felt guilty and depressed, and always wanted to do something for Selena.
Leah was angry and snorted.
She guessed that Dominic's coming here today might have something to do with Selena, but how could she have imagined that Dominic would come to ask her to step in and go and help clarify things for Selena?
"I'm going to help Selena clarify and then have everyone scold me?" Leah sneered, her eyes stained with tears, "Dominic, you only see that Selena is about to be ruined, then don't you see my situation? Because of my father, I have been living with the charge of being an illegitimate daughter since I was born, and because of you, I have even become the mistress that everyone is shouting and scolding."
"I'm already infamous and have nothing, and you still want me to step in to help Selena clarify. How can you be so cruel?"
Dominic looked at her teary face, seemingly struck by a great blow, his heart rose with pity and guilt, reaching out to hug her, "Leah, I didn't mean that, it's just that it was our fault in the first place, Selena she is innocent. I will take all the blame and consequences, and won't let you suffer any harm."
Leah laughed coldly and said through clenched teeth, "Why must it be our fault, instead of the fact that Selena is a slut and has been hooking up with those people behind your back for a long time?"
Dominic sank his face, "Selena is not such a person."
During this period of time, Dominic often thought of the Selena of the past.
The more he avoided it, the clearer those images appeared.
He remembered the well-behaved and lovely Selena who loved to follow him around and call him with a sweet smile before Leah had appeared.
He didn't know when her smile became less and less, and she became more and more silent.
Selena only had light in her eyes when she saw him.
In order to get a bit of his liking, she listened to Angie's lies, always wore heavy make-up, did all the silly things and turned herself into a joke.
No matter how much he humiliated and disgusted her, she always insisted on liking him and refused to leave him.
But now, that sweet, well-behaved, silent girl is completely gone.
She became a stranger.
These days, Dominic has been regretting, later on, why he did not treat Selena better before.
Since her mother's death, she needed his attention.
Dominic looked at the frozen Leah and repeated firmly again, "Selena is not a slut, it's our fault for hurting her."
Leah's pale lips trembled for a moment as tears abruptly welled up.
She felt sad.
Not pretend to be sad.
But she was truly sad.
