Rebirth To Be The Revenge Queen novel Chapter 468

With a 'smack'-
A heavy slap landed hard on her face.
Angie's entire face swelled up immediately.
She cried, tears streaming down her face, her whole body filled with fear and despair.
"Bitch! How dare you hit me... how dare you humiliate me..."
"Are you still being arrogant?"
"Are you still shouting?"
"You're ruining my reputation!"
The person grabbed her hair and slammed her head hard against the door.
Angie's head throbbed in pain, tears streaming down her face, struggling desperately, wanting to scream for help, but it was all in vain.
In the silent darkness, the sound of her head banging against the door reverberated clearly, one after another.
Angie convulsed in pain, feeling a warm liquid dripping down her head, tasting the salty taste in her mouth.
It was her blood.
Angie trembled all over, in pain and fear, trying to scream for help, but the person didn't give her a chance, brutally beating her.
Another slap landed heavily on Angie's face, causing her to fall to the ground.
The person seemed to have vented their anger enough, grabbing Angie's hair, lifting up the woman who was already so in pain that she was like a pile of mud, saying with resentment, "This is just to collect some interest, you still owe me the principal..."
Amidst Angie's screams of fear and despair, the person lifted her up and threw her onto the big bed behind her.
Then he smirked and pounced.
After a piercing scream, all struggling and crying fell into complete silence.
...
Downstairs.
Leah stared at the watch on the wall, estimating the time.
She had to lead the people downstairs to Selena's room before Selena's assistant returned.
If she was late and gave Selena a chance to cover up the scene, if she couldn't catch Selena and the judges "cooperating" on the spot, everything she had carefully arranged tonight would be in vain.
Dominic stood beside her, looking at the gathering of celebrities at the banquet, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Selena left early because she was not feeling well, and Leah didn't know why, always absent-minded. In addition, Angie had disappeared at night, and no one knew where she had gone to play.
Dominic felt uneasy. He looked at Leah and said softly, "Leah, it's late, let's go back."
Leah was thinking about what reason to use to lead the fragrance specialists and the media up the stairs, when suddenly she heard a scream from outside the hotel door.
"Ah--"
The sudden sound startled the people in the banquet hall.
The crowd looked towards the source of the sound and saw a woman wearing a hotel staff uniform rushing in with a pale face, trembling and pointing towards the direction of the rooftop. "Selena..."
Selena?
Selena is the most eye-catching contestant in this year's fragrance competition. As soon as her name was mentioned, the attention of everyone present was immediately drawn to her.
Adeline frowned and complained, "What's wrong with Selena again? Is she causing trouble again?"
The tears were in the eyes of the staff member, who was clearly frightened. She was about to say something, but Leah suddenly spoke up and interrupted her before she could say anything.
She grabbed Dominic's hand and said anxiously, "Dominic, Selena must be in trouble, let's go up and see!"
Without giving Dominic a chance to react or refuse, she dragged him towards the direction of the elevator.
When Dominic heard Selena's name, his heart skipped a beat and he was worried that something had happened to her.
Seeing Leah's "forgiving and understanding" appearance, he was even more moved and obediently followed her.
After the other fragrance specialists looked at each other, they put on their high heels and followed suit.
After all, seeing the staff member's pale face, Selena had obviously encountered something bad.
They didn't believe that Selena would be lucky enough to be rescued after not seeing through her joke earlier.
And those media reporters, of course, would not let go of such a big hot news. Like sharks smelling blood, they competed to carry their cameras and followed along.
...
In the peaceful cafe, soothing music flowed.
Selena finished the last sip of her coffee and put down her spoon.
Perhaps because there was no sugar and it was too bitter, she frowned slightly, stuck out her tongue, and showed a rare hint of playfulness in her eyes.
Patrick gazed at the elegant and agile young lady in front of him, poured her a cup of hot tea, lowered his eyes, and casually asked, "Lady Selena, forgive me for being presumptuous... what kind of person is your boyfriend in your eyes?"
Selena's expression slightly froze.
She didn't seem to expect that the man who was just exchanging fragrance experience with her would suddenly bring up this topic so directly.
But strangely... it didn't raise any sense of disgust.
Selena thought for a moment, her lips curling up into a sweet smile. "He's a very kind and gentle man. He helps me, comforts me, protects me... he's the perfect boyfriend."
As far as a marriage of convenience husband goes, no one could do it better than Osvaldo.
Patrick seemed somewhat surprised, looking thoughtfully at Selena.
After a moment, the mist in his eyes suddenly dissipated, becoming deep and cold. "Girls can have boyfriends, but if they want to get married, they need to examine the other person's character for a few more years."
Selena smiled, "Of course."
But she and Osvaldo weren't going to spend their whole lives together, so they didn't need that kind of scrutiny.
She looked at Patrick's black eyes, smiled faintly, and added a hint of meaning to her tone. "Those bad things are all in the past. I'm doing well now and don't need anyone to worry about me."
Whether the Turner family had anything to do with Selena or not, for Lady Nevaeh and "City of Charm," she should say this to him.
Patrick stared at her quietly for a moment, and something seemed to flicker in the depths of his eyes, whether it was joy or sadness couldn't be said.
After a moment, he stood up as if nothing had happened, picked up his coat from where it was leaning, "It's raining, I'll walk you back."
Selena turned to look out the window and only then realized that it had started to drizzle outside at some point.
She softly responded and stood up.
She turned and walked towards the door first. When she opened it, the cold air hit her face, causing Selena to shiver and sneeze.
Her shoulder suddenly felt heavy, and Selena turned her head to see Patrick draping his coat over her shoulders, while holding a sky-blue umbrella with his other hand.
