"Could it be that Beatrice killed herself?" Robert asked in a cold tone. "Your Highness, if you cannot provide evidence to prove your innocence in the murder of Miss Beatrice, then please forgive us for being rude."
As Robert spoke, the guards standing by Lillian's side quickly raised their guns and aimed them at Selena.
Stanley's eyes turned icy as he watched the scene unfold. He knew Selena wouldn't be defenseless.
But even so, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her in this situation.
No one spoke up for Selena. As an outsider with no value other than her face, she was naturally left to fend for herself.
Selena looked at Lillian. To today's Lillian, Beatrice was a stain on her reputation. Using Beatrice to kill her would have been an unexpected joy; failing that would still allow her to pin the blame of killing a noble on Selena.
Even if she couldn't convict Selena of anything, she could use her as a tool to get rid of this "stain".
Her cousin was truly suited to be an unfeeling ruler.
In the midst of this cold silence, Selena raised her hand and patted little Gaia on the shoulder.
Little Gaia wore a mask over his face and looked down at everyone below him with cold eyes.
The people in the lobby were chilled to the bone by the small doll's sweep. Before they could recover, little Gaia jumped off Selena's shoulder and ran to the electronic screen in front of the hall, tapping away on the keyboard with her small white hands.
Soon after, two people appeared on the big screen. It was Selena and Beatrice. Selena stood by the bed while Beatrice was opposite her, speaking about how Lillian used her to kill Selena...
Robert's face changed slightly when he saw this scene.
Lillian remained calm and only looked at little Gaia crawling back onto Selena's shoulder with a deep gaze. Onscreen, Beatrice's hysterical voice came through clearly.
"Miss Turner, when you were in the capital, Lillian couldn't kill you because you were lucky! Now that you're part of the royal court, Lillian won't tolerate your existence anymore. She'll spare no expense to kill you!"
Everyone present heard these words clearly before witnessing Beatrice suddenly go crazy and charge towards Selena with a knife.
Then everyone saw it clearly: Beatrice really killed herself...
Silence fell over everyone.
Selena walked down the stairs step by step in high heels. As she passed by Lillian she smiled but spoke coldly: "Miss Lillian, I remember all three assassination attempts in the capital as well as today's ambush; I will repay them doubly someday."
With that said, Selena gracefully walked towards the door.
She was very clear.
Leaving aside Lillian's position as governor, as the only candidate for female emperor, it is impossible for the Riddle Group Empire to not consider how they will treat Lillian, an outsider with no blood ties. Even if she were to openly admit that Lillian harmed her.
Everyone stared at the graceful and composed figure of the woman walking away, as if they were seeing someone familiar from before...
In that moment, many people had a thought in their hearts.
If she were truly of imperial bloodline, how great would that be...

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
