After resolving Hattie's issues, Selena touched her hair and said, "If Hattie has time, please help me arrange a meeting with your brother. I have something to discuss with him."
Previously, Selena had ignored the Riddle family due to Lady Nevaeh.
But obviously, the Riddle family had lost the protection of blood relationship.
Moreover, the situation in the Riddle family was more complicated than Selena had imagined, including Penelope and the new wife who had been helping Leah against her.
Since it was inevitable, Selena had to take the initiative to attack.
Hattie didn't ask anything and immediately ran out to make a call to her brother.
Selena watched Hattie's back as she ran out and slowly lowered her eyelashes.
With the matter of Kiera already at hand, Selena found it hard to believe that the new wife of the Riddle family was simply a third party.
Hattie's mother's death was likely related to Callum and Nevaeh.
Selena had previously stayed out of it because she didn't think it was her place to intervene, but now that she realized the cause of Mrs. Riddle's death was not simple, Hattie's hatred had become her responsibility just like Selena's responsibility to Creephia.
Selena's eyes showed a bone-chilling coldness.
Hattie acted fast, and the meeting with Leon was arranged in the afternoon. When Leon arrived, Selena was already sitting in the cafe.
Through the transparent window, Leon handed his briefcase to his assistant, leaned against the car door, and stared at Selena's lazy and elegant profile while slowly lighting a cigarette.
The assistant looked at his master with some surprise. Although Selena was extraordinary, Leon was also not an ordinary person. Strictly speaking, Selena was still his cousin.
In theory, Leon didn't have to go through all this trouble to visit his cousin. But since he received a phone call from Hattie in the morning, his emotions seemed to have changed. The feeling intensified when he saw Selena. It didn't feel like he was here to see his cousin, but rather to negotiate something!
After a while, Leon seemed to have made a decision. He put out his cigarette and made sure there was no trace of the smell before walking in.
In the cafe, Selena heard his footsteps and looked up. Leon sat down in front of her, his eyes clear and noble. He hooked his lips and said, "I have been taking care of that little girl for more than ten years. I can't match the few months that you have taken care of her."
Selena asked Hattie to call him, and she didn't hesitate at all. He had no room to hesitate.
Selena stirred the hot coffee in her cup, smiled expressionlessly, and asked, "So, Mr. Riddle, have you made your decision?"
Leon's expression became heavy. After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "She is still your grandmother."
Selena smiled as if she hadn't heard what he said. "Survival or destruction, this is indeed a difficult problem, but it is a choice that everyone living in this world must face."
"The consequence of wanting everything and trying to have it both ways is that Nevaeh and Kiera ended up with neither."
"Later they learned to be smart and gave up one of them without hesitation to avoid a tragedy from happening again."
"From the moment they made their decision, they naturally lost the qualification to use the family card for the one who was abandoned."
"Mr. Riddle, you are just a chip, and you have no value at all!"
Most importantly, Nevaeh and Selena, who needed to consider their blood relationship, are already dead. Therefore, the Riddle family's two elders are unforgivable!
Leon's expression was complicated. He naturally understood the meaning behind Selena's words. Selena wanted to take action against the Riddle family, and now it was his turn to make a decision between Hattie and Mrs. Riddle. Or it could be said that he had to make a decision regarding the Riddle family's stance going forward.
With Nevaeh and Mrs. Riddle's lives in mind, having it both ways is impossible. If he chooses to protect Daphne, from this moment on, he will become Selena's enemy!
And if he chooses Hattie, he will inevitably have to stand by and watch the revenge that Daphne will face in the future. That's Selena! She is always decisive and ruthless.
Once she's labeled, she may never have the chance to be forgiven in her lifetime.

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...
