Dominic looked at the hint of sullenness in Leah's eyes before he realized how cruel he had really been to Selena in the past.
Why didn't you treat Selena better at that time?
He had seen with his own eyes how cold and cruel her father and Molly were towards her, and how could Selena possibly be better off after growing up in a family where no one cared?
If he could have been nicer to Selena, maybe he and Selena would not have come to this point.
He frowned and raised his hand to brush the touch of melancholy in Leah's eyes and said in a low voice, "Don't cry."
Leah's cheek twitched violently.
Dominic looked like he was comforting her, but the look in his eyes was clearly looking at another person through her.
And the only person who could make Dominic look like that could be Selena.
How dare he use her as a stand-in for Selena?
To Leah, who loathed Selena, this was a huge humiliation. She turned cold, her tone seeping with endless resentment, "Mr. Walson, do you see clearly who I am?"
Dominic was stunned and snapped back from that daze to see the resentment and sadness in Leah's eyes.
"Leah, I..."
Leah, however, had already turned her face away, using her hair to block the expression on her face, "No need to explain, I know who you were looking at just now. If you can't move over Selena, you can go to her now, and I will completely disappear from your presence."
Dominic was stunned, looking at Leah's pale and stoic side face, his heart rose with endless regret and pity.
"Leah, it's not like that, I really like you," Dominic looked at her face tenderly, "I would think of Selena only because of Angie. She went too far and made me hurt Selena unintentionally, that's why I felt guilty towards her. I love you, only you since the beginning."
The last sentence he said with unmistakable firmness.
It seemed to be speaking to Leah, and it seemed to be convincing himself.
Leah suppressed a cold smile from the corner of her lips.
If he could blame Angie because he was ashamed of Selena, what would he have in mind if he knew that the person who hurt Selena the most was actually her?
Men really do like to deceive themselves.
Whether Dominic likes her or wants to get the Riddle's support through her, even he can't tell the difference.
Leah lowered her eyes and said coldly, "Mr. Walson, I don't want to face you right now, please leave, okay?"
Dominic knew he had done something wrong, but didn't know how he should explain, looking at Leah's side face, he could only leave first, "Get some rest, I'll see you tomorrow."
He placed the flowers in his hands on the table and looked at Leah for a moment longer before walking out.
As soon as Dominic disappeared, Leah could not restrain herself, seemingly out of spite or some other emotion, and cursed out through clenched teeth, "Stupid."
He thought of Selena, but Selena had such a good man, could she still have Dominic in her eyes?
It's true what they say, what you can't have is always stirring in your heart.
...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Leia drove up outside the Riddle's building.
Wearing sunglasses and stepping out on high heels, Selena led Leia to meet the curious and frightened eyes all the way towards the conference room.

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...
