Those voices accusing Selena of righteous indignation were like having a scoop of ice water thrown over their heads, and were instantly cut off.
Unlike the smearers, the sensible ones who had been insisting that Selena was right, instantly came back to life and started to step back like crazy.
[Ahhhhh. Lady Selena's amazing. With her upright, kind, and brave values, who dares to say she has any problems now, scumbags??]
[Selena is really beautiful and kind-hearted, if this were on my shoulders, I would definitely not be able to resist hitting that girl. She is so shameless at a young age, lying and robbing others.]
[I just want to ask those who were insulting Lady Selena earlier, don't they feel any shame? After being humiliated many times, why haven't they learned their lesson and stopped insulting others?]
[Kaitlyn is still so young, but her character is already so domineering and bad, and she's pretending to be pure, how can she be when she grows up in the future? That silent video must have been sent out by her on purpose to get back at Lady Selena.]
[It's disgusting, how dare an illegitimate daughter be so arrogant and domineering? Listen to what she says, is that something a human being can say?]
[I had always thought that the Riddle family in the capital was highly regarded and had a distinguished reputation. However, I never expected that they would allow a mistress to take the place of the legitimate daughter and openly compete with her for her status. This just shows that aristocratic families are indeed very corrupt.]
[Wait, Lady Selena seems to be a member of the Riddle family from the capital's bloodline as well, right? She was scolded so badly, and no one from the Riddle family came out to explain a word, instead letting so many people scold her and choosing to defend a bad and evil bastard daughter... I am so angry. So disappointing.]
[Do you guys think that the name, Hattie Riddle, sounds a bit familiar?]
[It is. Isn't that the child who had been following Selena around before, the one who was beaten by Isabel?]
In less than ten minutes, someone found the video of Hattie being beaten by Isabel earlier.
The crowd looked at Kaitlyn's righteous and domineering smile and compared it to the scene where Hattie was thrown down the stairs by Isabel and no one cared, a wave of anger swept out from their hearts.
But anyone with conscience couldn't bear to see such a picture, and they went to chech news about Hattie and Kaitlyn.
Never underestimate the power of netizens, in less than an hour, the new Mrs. Riddle was thoroughly checked up.
So, when the previous Mrs. Riddle died, the scumbag couldn't wait to welcome the new wife into the family, followed by Miss Riddle being sent to a juvenile facility, and the scandal of the illegitimate son and daughter blatantly taking over the nest swept the entire internet in an instant.
Overnight, the Riddle family of the capital was pulled off the pedestal and became infamous.
When the Riddle's name in the capital was searched, there is no longer the awe of the past, and the labels "scum, mistress, illegitimate son, illegitimate daughter" are all over the place.
The Riddle family's reputation, which had been maintained for decades, had unexpectedly tended to be vaguely ruined overnight.
...
M City, in an upscale hotel.
Originally, Kaitlyn found out that someone had posted a silent video of her online. She was pleased to see everyone helping her scold Selena. However, suddenly, the scandal of the family of four was exposed on the Internet, which made her feel embarrassed..
Kaitlyn looked at the overwhelming curses and realised abruptly that she might have gotten into a big trouble.
She was in a panic and her phone rang.
Kaitlyn was taken aback, seeing the number flashing on the screen, and as soon as she got through, she panicked and shouted, "Mom, what should I do? I--"
"Listen, Kaitlyn." A woman's voice came from the other side, calm and intellectual, "I've arranged for reporters to find you, they'll be at the hotel in about an hour, then they'll take you to Selena. You go and apologize to her, you can cry or beg, even if she makes you kneel, you have to kneel down. If your apology doesn't satisfy her and save Riddle's reputation, then you don't come back."
Kaitlyn's face lost all its blood, she was scared and cried, "Mom, I was wrong, don't leave me alone."
"Do you know how much trouble you've caused?" The woman's calm voice had more than a hint of anger, "Your father and I have tried everything to keep things down, and now, you can only go and apologize to those two sisters. The trouble is yours, if Riddle's reputation is really ruined because of you, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Kaitlyn's body swayed, stunned.
"Is that what I usually teach you?" The woman said coldly, "I sacrificed a child to drive Hattie out and let you stand firm in the Riddle family. You ruined a bunch of my efforts with a few words, do you know how angry those two old ones in the Riddle family are at this moment? They have already sent someone to look for Hattie, if she comes back, can we still have a good time?"
Kaitlyn trembled with disbelief. She could never have imagined that just yesterday she was the pampered princess of the Riddle family, and today she had fallen into a state of disapproval from others.
Kaitlyn cried out, "Mom, I know I'm wrong, I'll never dare to do it again, I'll go apologize."
The woman snorted coldly and said, "Listen to me carefully. When treating Selena, you must be respectful and show your true nature as a child. Don't try to play tricks on her, or else you won't even know how you died."
Kaitlyn sobbed and choked up as she asked, "Who is Selena..."
If she had known that Selena was from the Riddle family, she would never have dared to offend her.
She had seen everyone from the Riddle family in her time, where on earth did Selena come from?
The woman sneered, "You don't need to know who she is, you just need to know that she has someone behind her and we can't afford to offend her at the moment, so it's enough that we have to give in."
Kaitlyn did not dare to have any opinion, and obediently complied.
The woman hung up the phone.
Kaitlyn was in the hotel, angry and annoyed at the thought of having to apologise to Selena in full view of everyone later.
...
Selena woke up at six o'clock the next morning.
Thinking that she should want to call Hattie, Leia brought the phone over to her.
Selena shook her head, "In a while."
She got out of bed and, without changing her clothes, went into the bathroom to wash up.
By the time she came out again, Leia had brought in breakfast, and Selena sat at the table, looking out to sea.
Leia knew she hadn't slept much last night by the way she looked and her breath was wan.
Leia frowned and was worried, Selena said, "If later, Kaitlyn wants to come over with an apology, there is no need to stop her."
Leia froze.
Kaitlyn is coming to apologise?
Why?
As she was just about to enquire, there was a knock at the door.
