Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh novel Chapter 324

Selena took Hattie by the hand and walked to the wicker chair in the living room and sat down.
Hattie looked into Selena's eyes with a hint of coldness in them and uttered, "Selena, do you have something to tell me?"
Selena met the girl's dark eyes and raised her eyebrow.
Hattie was more perceptive than she had thought.
Selena looked seriously at Hattie, who was standing in front of her, and said slowly, "Someone from the Riddle family has come to Creephia to bring you back. Are you willing to go back with him?"
Instead of hiding it from Hattie, Selena chose to let Hattie know and make her own decision.
After all, the only person who could be responsible for Hattie's life was herself.
A suggestion of worry flickered in Selena's eyes. She lowered her head, clenching her fists.
Hattie did not ask who the person that had come to look for her was. She might have guessed the person's identity.
Now Hattie's father must be focusing on his new wife and the baby twins. He would not bother to care about Hattie.
As for her grandparents, they must have long since been coaxed into submission by the self-invited grandchildren and simply assumed Hattie was dead.
At this time, the only one who could still think of her and come to take her home was her cousin.
After a moment, when Hattie raised her eyes again, the anger in her dark, clear eyes was replaced with toughness, "Selena, I would like to go back!"
If she left the Riddle family like this, the family would forget about her and her mother completely, and that woman and her children would be able to steal her inheritance with ease. Hattie would not let them take it so easily.
The sadder and more painful it was, the harder Hattie had to work to face the difficulty.
When she could take over the Riddle family one day, she could protect Selena and avenge her mother, and no one would be able to bully them anymore.
Appreciation swept across Selena's face.
She pressed Hattie's shoulders and looked into her eyes, "Hattie, remember, you are the rightful Lady of the Riddle family, the rightful heir of the Riddle family. Even if the twins are favored more, they are all doomed to be always inferior to you."
"Don't be afraid."
"Hattie is the most excellent girl. I believe that you will be able to get what you want some day."
Hattie looked at Selena for a moment, and then suddenly threw into her arms and wrapped her arms around Selena's waist.
Selena raised her hand and patted Hattie's slender shoulder, offering her comfort and encouragement.
Hattie chose to go back, as Selena expected.
The girl was tough, intelligent and determined, and she knew better than anyone else that the Walson family was not the place for her.
She could not rely on Selena forever.
If she wanted to survive and avenge her mother, the only person she could rely on was herself.
Hattie lay in Selena's arms and nuzzled her shoulder fondly, "Selena, can I go back after I finish filming Breaking Ground'?"
Selena gently stroked her hair, "No one can take Hattie away until the filming is finished."
Standing behind the staircase, Osvaldo heard the conversation between the two sisters.
It was obvious that even Hattie could not stop Selena from leaving him.
Such ruthlessness displeased Osvaldo, but he could not go and bite her neck and viciously tell her that he could unconditionally shelter Hattie for the rest of her life as long as Selena asked.
Selena seemed to notice something. She looked up and saw Osvaldo standing on the stairs like a noble dark lord of the night. His exquisite and perfect face was beyond description.
Meeting her gaze, Osvaldo smiled, and he said to Hattie, "Leon is here and he wants to see you."
Hattie retreated from Selena's arms. She would like to meet her brother who had loved her since childhood.
Hattie lifted her steps upstairs, and when she passed by Osvaldo, she heard a whisper as if by mistake, "Don't mention Selena before him."
Hattie pursed her lips and agreed.
There were too many bad people in the Riddle family, and it was not good for Selena to get involved with the Riddle family now.
When she took over the power in the future, she would take Selena home above board.
Hattie returned to her room and soon came down with her school bag on her back and a pair of small leather boots. After waving goodbye to Selena, Leia personally drove her to meet Leon.
Selena watched Hattie leave and sighed slightly.
Osvaldo walked over and leaned down slightly. His long and slender fingers brushed her eyelids. A touch of tenderness shone in his eyes, "A penny for your thoughts."
A lazy smile appeared on Selena's face, "Hattie is a good girl. She is intelligent and decisive, and has a clear idea of what she should hate or love. She will definitely be able to go far in the future."
Osvaldo immediately understood what she meant.
A smile flitted across his face, "You want me to protect her?"
Selena smiled lightly, "For such a potential stock, investing in advance will not be a loss. You saved her and helped her. In the future when she takes control of the Riddle's power, she will definitely return the favor."
Even though Selena had selfish thoughts, she did think so.
An eerily dark, deep worry flickered in Osvaldo's eyes. He stared at her, "Why don't you protect her yourself?"
The smile on Selena's face disappeared.
The dark and deep voice of Osvaldo had a hint of endless attraction, "The matter of the Riddle family is far more complicated than you think. If it could really be easily solved, your mother would not have been driven to Creephia twenty years ago. Hattie is just a girl. She may not survive in this fight."
Selena's face fell slightly.
She looked into his eyes for a long time before she said, expressionlessly, "I believe in her. She didn't die in the juvenile reformatory. She will not die in the fight either."
She had the ruthlessness and madness as Hattie did.
They were both avengers.
They would live with all their might until their enemies were dead.
Osvaldo saw Selena's eyes. He raised his hand and smoothed her eyebrows. He looked a bit pale, "Don't show such an expression..."
His heart... would ache.
Selena saw the worry in Osvaldo's eyes and thought that he was afraid that she would feel bad in her heart because of the neglect of the Riddle family and smiled, "It's alright. I don't care about them."
Whether it was the Riddle family in Creephia or the Riddle family in capital, it had nothing to do with her.
Osvaldo was angry at her indifference, yet heartbroken at her toughness.
The man's eyes were dark and his tone was gentle, "It will not happen again..."
She would not be put through all that despair and pain again, and would not be kept awake by nightmares even in her sleep.
Selena's eyes widened in slight surprise. She didn't understand.
Osvaldo lowered his head, his thin lips rubbing against her brows, and he softly promised, "If you get in danger again, you must wait for me. No matter where you are, I will find you."
Selena froze for a moment, and then smiled happily.
She thought that one of the best things that God had arranged for her to come from the violent battlefields to Creephia was for her to meet a very, very good man.
