She remembered all the efforts Selena had made to rescue the people in the underground city. Leia's lips trembled violently.
The man looked at her with a slow withdrawal of his hand, stood up straight, and looked at her with his pitch-black eyes. His tone became gentle, "You have lost your parents and your home. You are in pain."
"But you are not alone in your pain."
"The Turner family also lost their loved ones and their home. They are also in pain."
"Everyone who died in this disaster was also in pain."
"You are not the first, nor the last, nor the only one."
"But none of you can be called innocent. The most innocent person... is only her!"
The Turner family were involved.
Leia was one of the people from the underground city.
They were all not qualified to be called innocent.
The most innocent person was Selena who had to take responsibility and personally killed that person under duress during this disaster.
In an instant, a glint of sharpness and killing intent seeped into his eyes as he said,"You... are just bullying her because she is kind!"
The anger from members of The Turner family could barely be contained while Leia's resentment towards them was completely exposed simply because... Selena was too kind!
Leia was stunned.
She opened her mouth to argue, wanting to say that she didn't think that way, that she was just in too much pain. But facing the man's chilling gaze, she couldn't find the words to defend herself.
Muttering to herself, she asked, "Then who should I... hate?"
She had lost everything. She shouldn't hate Selena. So who should she hate?
Aarav looked at her bewildered expression and spoke with a clear voice. "Someone will come... to ease all of your resentment."
He shouldn't have made this trip.
It was too risky.
If Selena found out about his efforts, they could all be for nothing.
But her sister was hurt and heartbroken.
The dungeon held the biggest knot in her life.
Hearing forgiveness from a victim's own mouth would gradually release Selena from the shackles of guilt and regret in her heart.
Aarav looked at the pale figure on the ground with cold eyes. "Don't try to hurt her again or blame or torture her anymore... otherwise--"
Leia shuddered involuntarily at his words.
Finally, Aarav gave one last glance at Leia before turning around and walking towards the door until he disappeared from sight quickly.
Leia stared blankly at his slender back for a long time before finally coming back to reality.
Selena injured her shoulder and after the bullet was removed, Osvaldo ordered her to rest properly. Fortunately, the main structure of the construction plan had already been determined and Lab 717 and people from the Central City Research Institute would take over from here.
Two days later, while Selena was napping at noon, she suddenly received a message. Leia wanted to see her.
Osvaldo's expression turned cold as he was about to refuse but Selena sat up suddenly and said, "Let her in." Osvaldo frowned.
Selena looked up at him and kissed his lips slightly. "You can watch over us personally. Nothing will happen."
Leia was soon brought in. After being locked up for a few days, the young girl looked thin and haggard. She looked at Selena who lay in Osvaldo's arms with an equally pale face but didn't say anything despite moving her lips several times.
Selena carefully observed Leia's expression and asked aloud, "What happened?" This seemed to open some kind of switch as Leia couldn't suppress her emotions anymore after holding them back for so long.

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...
