Leon glanced at the number and answered the call as a dark light flashed in his eyes.
An anxious voice came from the other end, "Leon, you need to come back quickly. Your younger brother just had a seizure, and his condition is very critical..."
Leon couldn't help but chuckle.
Suddenly, he understood the meaning behind Selena's request to make this call.
He wondered why that woman, who hated the Riddle family so much, would suddenly take the initiative to deal with them.
"Grandma!" Leon interrupted the other person's chatter, his voice cold. "Do you know what happened to Hattie? If I don't go see her now, then you can forget about having a granddaughter in the future. Do you and Uncle David want to come with me?"
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, and a hint of worry appeared. "What happened to Hattie?"
Leon leaned against the car door and looked at his watch. "She's probably injured..."
The voice on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief. "Then go back and see your younger brother first. You know he's not well, and he could..."
"When you're sure he's okay, I'll go with you and Uncle David to pick her up," the voice continued. "That child has been angry with us and refuses to go home. She must have gone through a lot since she left. Didn't you say she might come back in a few days? How could something happen to her?"
As Leon listened to these words, his assistant behind him couldn't help but furrow his brow.
Did this old lady really not understand what it meant to lose this opportunity?
Leon didn't know how to feel about these words. Suddenly, he asked, "Grandma, do you remember my aunt Nevaeh?"
The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly froze.
There was no sound for a long time.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Leon's eyes, but his tone was gentle. "She's dead, and her daughter is dead to us as well. Perhaps in Hattie's heart, other than me as her brother, everyone else in the Riddle family is..."
He didn't finish his sentence and hung up the phone, turning off his phone as he did so.
Leon got in the car, his eyes cold, and ordered in a cold voice, "Go to the airport!"
...
In the hotel box.
Leia placed Hattie on the sofa, and Selena held her gently, soothing her with a soft voice. Her eyes were almost uncontrollably filled with rage.
She had finally built up Hattie's confidence again, and now it was destroyed by Leah!
That woman...
Damn it!
Selena felt the child trembling in her arms and spoke softly, "It's okay, Hattie. Estrella won't blame you. You did well. If it wasn't for you, Estrella might have been bullied even more..."
Although Selena didn't know exactly what had happened, she could guess roughly.
Hattie sobbed softly like kitten and looked up at Selena with trembling eyes. "Selena, it's my fault. I shouldn't have hit them. If I hadn't hit them..."
They wouldn't have had a reason to detain her, and Estrella wouldn't have been beaten.
"I know it's not your fault," Selena looked at her dark, hollow eyes and felt a twinge in her heart. She spoke softly, "They bullied you first, and that's why you hit them. They're all a bunch of scumbags. Even if Hattie didn't hit them, they would find other excuses..."
"Bad people do bad things, and there are always countless reasons. you shouldn't blame yourself for their mistakes."
Selena's gaze turned cold as she held Hattie's face and stared into her eyes. She spoke coldly, "If anyone's to blame, it's my fault. They only targeted Estrella because of me."
"Leah can't do anything to me, so she deliberately said those things to you. She wanted to make you suffer, feel guilty, and destroy your faith to make me feel guilty and sad... It's all that woman's fault. She deserves to die!"

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...
