Chapter 854 Say It Again! As the Poole siblings were about to enter, a crisp voice suddenly rang out behind them, "Winnie, stop!" Winnie's expression changed as she stopped and turned around to see Hattie stomping over in her little boots, glaring at her with disapproval. "Apologize!" Hattie demanded.
"Why should 1?" Winnie pressed down her displeasure.
Selena had ruined her hard work over the years, and now she wanted Winnie to apologize to her? Dream on! Christ also stopped in his tracks, turning to meet Leon's gaze with a half-smile.
Leon, holding onto the little Hattie like a rooster, felt a bit of a headache. The doctor had said that Hattie had been under a lot of stress lately and her mental condition was unstable. All her negative emotions would be amplified, so it was best not to expose her to outsiders for a short period of time. But tonight's award ceremony was important to Selena and Nevaeh, and Hattie didn't want to miss it. Leon couldn't bear to leave the sick little girl locked up in the room to watch the livestream, so he brought her along.

The media's cameras focused on this rare scene, frantically capturing it.
Hattie glared at Winnie. "You slandered Selena. Apologize to her now!" Winnie frowned.
The matter of Miss Riddle's mental illness had already spread throughout the entire family circle in recent days.
If she insisted on making a fuss with a child with a mental illness, it would only make her seem rude.
Winnie suppressed her inner displeasure and pursed her lips. "Miss Riddle, we all know that you have a good relationship with Selena, but you can't blindly defend her without considering the facts." "What | said, all the students at Capital University know. You can ask her in person later to see if what | said is true or not." Hattie was not aware of what was happening at Capital University, but she knew that there must be something wrong with what Winnie was saying! Hattie snorted and pointed her finger at Winnie's nose. "Selena would never destroy your team, let alone bully others with her father's status. It must be you who is talking nonsense!" Winnie was getting a bit annoyed, but she still maintained her demeanor as a young lady from a prominent family. "If you don't believe me, you can ask the Capital University's students present to see if what | said is true!" As soon as Winnie finished speaking, the young ladies standing behind her couldn't wait to speak up.
"Miss Poole is telling the truth. On Selena's first day at Capital University, Hamish publicly announced his withdrawal from the laboratory." "Afterwards, she found the laboratory left by Dean Turner, but she claimed it for herself, even refusing to let Miss Poole use it, even when Selena's hand was injured and she couldn't study." "She came to school the day before yesterday and told Cameron in person that the data was left by Dean Turner, and the Soo family had no right to touch it. If it weren't for Penelope and the teachers blocking her, Cameron would have definitely quit. Isn't this Selena's fault?" The students standing with Winnie were all classmates and friends with her and Penelope.
The rumors about Selena at Capital University were spread by them, so they naturally helped Winnie at this moment.
Most people who look up to Capital University's top students naturally don't believe they would stoop to lying.
In an instant, a group of onlookers’ impression of Selena plummeted.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I didn't expect Selena to be so good-looking, but such a domineering and selfish person..." "It's outrageous to say that the Soo family is not qualified to touch Dean Turner's things. The Soo family and the Turner family may have a grudge, but the sin does not fall on the descendants. Besides, medicine knows no boundaries. Mr. Soo is a medical genius who everyone has watched grow up. He was forced to give up his favorite medical field by Selena during this vacuum. It's really sad!" Hattie's eyes turned red with anger. She wanted to defend Selena, but she was helpless without knowing the truth. She could only stare at Winnie angrily and say, "You're lying!" Winnie glanced at her with a hint of impatience in her eyes. "Miss Riddle, even though you're still a child and sick... you still need to know when to stop!" The people behind her also sneered and taunted with a smug look on their faces.
"Miss Riddle, just because Selena is related to you by blood, you can't force everyone to blindly like her like you do, can you?" "What we said are well-known facts. Which sentence falsely accused Selena?" "I heard that this mental illness is divided by age, and the younger the less obvious, but Miss Riddle is only thirteen years old. Why does she seem so abnormal? If she continues to associate with people with twisted values, she may really become a crazy person who randomly takes up a knife in the future..." Leon's eyes narrowed and he was about to speak when a cold voice interrupted the heated mockery. "Why don't you just ask me directly what your problem is?" The voice was smooth and alluring, yet with an indescribable pressure. Although not loud, it was like a hammer striking everyone's nerves and immediately drew the attention of the entire room.
Christ, who had been standing at the door watching the show, focused his sharp gaze forward with a hint of malice in his eyes. Winnie bit her lip. Leon rubbed his forehead and felt his headache worsen.
Subconsciously, everyone turned their heads and looked behind them. When their gaze fell on the two figures walking together, they couldn't help but gasp in amazement, feeling as if their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.
The black-haired girl in the lotus green dress had a beautiful face with thick, black eyebrows and a charming smile. Her appearance was captivating, but her eyes were black and filled with a murderous aura. Her noble and dignified temperament overwhelmed her delicate appearance in an instant.
The man on her arm caught the attention of everyone in the room with just one look. Those who had been ogling Selena like wolves suddenly felt a chill run down their spines and averted their gazes. They didn't know what expression he had on his face, but they could sense his power.
Under everyone's gaze, Osvaldo raised his hand and pulled up the collar of Selena's dress to cover her snow- white collarbone. "Don't let those people get too close to you," he said.
Selena frowned as she looked at Hattie, but when she heard the man's words, she turned to Osvaldo, seeming to not understand his meaning. Osvaldo gently brushed his finger over her lips, leaving a mark, and smiled lightly.
"It's okay." Selena redirected her attention, scanning the group of people led by Winnie, and finally fixed her gaze on one of them. "Say what you said just now again!" she demanded.
