Chapter 1374 Targeted "What does this mean? Does Daphne and Maddox give up the first branch of the Riddle family and openly support the second branch to take over?!" "Do the old folks of the Riddle family have a problem in their heads? Mr. Riddle doesn't want such an excellent heir and instead brings his mistress and illegitimate daughter to such occasions! It's really embarrassing!" Continuous scolding came towards the Riddle family, and Kaitlyn, who was still young, felt wronged and angry and hid directly behind her mother.
Manny calmly touched his daughter's hair without changing his expression.
Hunter's face was dark, but he still maintained his demeanor and didn't explode on the spot.
As the mistress of the Riddle family, Daphne had been respected for most of her life and had never encountered so much verbal abuse before. She was furious and turned to the servants behind her and shouted, "Why haven't the young master and young miss arrived?!" The servant replied, "The young master and young miss said they are ashamed to be seen with the mistress and illegitimate daughter. Since the old master and old madam have decided to bring them, for the sake of the Riddle family's reputation and integrity, they should no longer be regarded as grandchildren!" The servant was obviously instructed in advance and spoke very loudly. Everyone around them heard it.
Immediately, there was a wave of agreement and teasing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I knew it! How could the Riddle family, such a noble family, tolerate such embarrassing things?" "Mr. Riddle and Miss Riddle are the rightful heirs. Of course, the Riddle family listens to them." "Maddox and Daphne prefer the mistress and illegitimate daughter and openly tarnish the reputation of the Riddle family. They are not worthy of being the ancestors of the Riddle family!" "I'm waiting for Maddox to be usurped, and Daphne to be expelled from the Riddle family!" Daphne's vision turned black, and she trembled with anger all over.
Kaitlyn's face turned pale, and tears of humiliation rolled down her face.
Manny clenched his palms.
Hunter was both angry and annoyed, looking at Maddox, "Father, look at those two unfilial sons..." Maddox's expression did not change, ignoring all the voices, and took the lead to walk inside, "Let's go in!" Other people didn't have the nerve to stay any longer and immediately followed in.
After the people of the Riddle family disappeared at the door, Leon walked over with Hattie, swaying.
Alfie's phoenix eyes were sharp, "What's going on?" Leon gave a humorless smile. "Who knows? Maybe it's just bad luck..." Hattie glared at Alfie with red-rimmed eyes, clearly aware that Maddox and Nicholas were planning to use her marriage as a pawn.
Alfie looked at her for a moment and gently touched her hair. "Everything will be fine." Hattie moved away from his hand and hid behind Leon. "I hate you all!" She knew that as the daughter of an aristocratic family, she had little say in her own marriage. But she was only thirteen years old, how could Nicholas be so heartless as to force her into this? What upset the young girl the most was that Maddox had not refused the proposal.
Alfie looked at his empty hand in a daze, and remained silent for a long time.
Aurelia pursed her lips and walked out. "Miss Riddle, you've misunderstood. This is not Master Alfie's intention." Hattie gave her a cold stare.
Aurelia met her sharp gaze and softened her tone. "Master Cameron is gentle and talented, you and he are a perfect match, and when you grow up, you will understand...” Leon suddenly interrupted her. "Shut up!" Alfie said coldly, "Miss Bennett, you talk too much." Aurelia was startled and turned pale.
Hattie shouted angrily, "If Cameron is so good in your eyes, why don't you marry him?" "Oh, | forgot. Cameron already has Penelope in his heart. Even if you throw yourself at him, he won't want you!" Aurelia had no idea that her well-intended words would anger two well-tempered aristocratic young men.
What made her feel even more embarrassed was Hattie's piercing words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAurelia trembled and said, "Miss Riddle, | was just trying to comfort you. | had no ill intentions..." Hattie disliked Aurelia! Although Aurelia was refined and polite, and had not done anything outrageous to her, Hattie couldn't stand her.
This disgust reached its peak when she unreasonably tried to take Selena’s wedding dress. Yesterday, Selena was there to stop her from venting her anger, but today she had to settle the score with interest.
"I was talking to Alfie, not to you. What right do you have to interfere in the affairs of the Riddle family or the Soo family?" "Don't think just because that old man told you to stand here, you can become the mistress of the Soo family and have the qualifications to meddle in Alfie's affairs!" "Alfie doesn't like you, he won't marry you!" The last two sentences were heart-wrenching and made Aurelia feel weak all over.
It was clear that she was trying to maintain her composure, with a pale face and pleading eyes looking at Alfie. "Mr. Soo, I..." Alfie spoke calmly, "Hattie is young and has poor health. Miss Bennett, you should go easy on her." Aurelia's face turned bloodless in an instant because of Alfie's words.
Many onlookers who had been watching the whole thing spoke out when they saw Hattie bully Aurelia to this extent.
"Miss Riddle, Miss Bennett only said a few words, and her intention was to care for you. You don't need to target her like this!" "Although you're still a child and have psychological issues, you still need to learn to control your emotions. You're being spoiled in the Riddle family, but outside, your temper like this will easily get you into trouble..." "The engagement between you and Cameron was arranged by Nicholas. It has nothing to do with Miss Bennett. Don't blame (Em.
"Miss Riddle, we've been following this matter from start to finish. Miss Bennett really hasn't done anything wrong. You should apologize to her." Hattie rolled her eyes at the accusations against her.
She hated Aurelia! So she absolutely would not apologize to her! Leon looked at the explosive girl with some helplessness and then turned his stern gaze to Aurelia. "Miss Bennett." Aurelia stood awkwardly, her face turning pale, looking at Leon helplessly. "I'm sorry, Miss Riddle. | didn't mean to upset the young lady..." "Miss Bennett didn't do anything wrong and doesn't need to apologize!" Someone in the crowd couldn't bear it anymore. "Even if it's Mr. Riddle and the Riddle family's young lady, they still need to be reasonable, right?" mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLII0fiflO& 1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWL1i10fif10&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
