Christ's lips curved into a slightly cold smile as he raised his hand and patted Isabel's shoulder. "As long as you stop trying to kill her, she won't come after you." Isabel's face suddenly turned pale, and a bone-chilling panic appeared in her eyes. "I... I..." Christ was not a fool.
Suddenly, Selena had crippled Isabel's legs and left her name clearly, and Christ figured out what had happened.
Isabel was someone he protected, and although he was angry about what Selena had done, he also had another question in his heart.
Why did Isabel have to kill Selena? He had asked her, but Isabel didn't say anything, and so Christ let it be.
Most of his thoughts were now focused on the girl. As for Isabel losing her legs, he didn't seem to care as much.
Mainly because Isabel had been acting recklessly lately, and he had warned her but she still dared to go and cause trouble.
Christ intended to be cold towards her to teach her a lesson and prevent her from being so bold and making moves against people she shouldn't.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfraid that Isabel might still be harboring unrealistic hopes, Christ reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up at him. He gazed into her eyes and said gently, "I'll be bringing that girl back today. Remember to treat her well, be kind to her, and don't touch her. Otherwise..." His unfinished words were full of an indescribable sternness.
Isabel met his cold, bone-chilling gaze and was instantly filled with fear. Her teeth chattered as she said, "Brother, I... | understand.” Christ was satisfied with her response and patted her face. "Good girl." With that, he pushed Isabel's hand away, turned around, and walked out on his long legs.
It wasn't until Christ had left that Isabel snapped out of her bone-chilling terror. But what followed was a wave of fear and despair that overwhelmed her.
The girl that Christ said he was bringing back was definitely Selena! Isabel instinctively reached up and grabbed the red agate on her neck. If Selena saw it and demanded it from her, she would have no place to hide and would surely die...
What should she do? Isabel was trembling with fear.
She had tried everything to get rid of Selena, but in the end, it was Selena who had crippled her.
When her legs were still good, she couldn't do anything to Selena. Now that she's disabled, how can she deal with Selena? Isabel was crying and smashing everything in the room, full of hatred towards Selena.
That bitch Selena, why does she have to live? Why not just die? And at this moment, Selena has already walked into Zero Point Coffee Shop.
Klara was anxiously waiting in the private room upstairs. When she heard the door being pushed open, she immediately stood up.
When she saw the unfamiliar face, she was stunned for a moment before realizing it was indeed Selena. Klara walked up to her and said, "Lady Selena..." Selena threw her bag onto the table and sat elegantly on the sofa, crossing her legs. "Sit down!" she commanded.
Klara shuddered at her voice and sat down across from her.
Selena took off her sunglasses and looked at Klara's anxious face. The corners of her delicate lips curled into a cold smile.
"Afraid of Leah?" Klara spoke weakly, "Lady Selena, | admit that | was the third party and it was immoral, but | am still a normal person. Normal people would be afraid of Leah..." Selena looked at her coldly.
Under her gaze, Klara became increasingly restless.
Selena sneered, "Klara, it's not wrong for a woman to have ambition, but be careful not to bite off more than you can chew!" Klara's expression changed.
Since Selena had seen through her, Klara decided to not conceal her intentions any longer. She looked up at Selena's beautiful dark eyes and said, "Lady Selena, | want to be Mrs. Riddle!" A hint of mockery flashed across Selena’s lips.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmObviously, the 50 million she got from selling the game planning proposal wasn't enough for Klara. She wanted more.
Perhaps afraid that Selena wouldn't help her, Klara assured her, "But don't worry, aside from Alberto's personal property, | won't covet the Riddle family's shares..." Selena had given her 50 million before, allowing Klara to taste the sweetness of being rich.
The 50 million was enough for her to splurge for a lifetime, but it couldn't allow her to enter high society officially.
Anyway, Mrs. Riddle was already in prison. Selena's plan was to make Mrs. Riddle divorce Alberto, so why couldn't Klara take the opportunity to take over? For Selena, this was just a matter of riding the wave.
Originally, according to Selena's plan, as long as Mrs. Riddle and Leah were destroyed, Klara could leave Creephia with her unborn child and the 50 million.
But she doesn't want to leave now. She wants to become Mrs. Riddle and inherit all of Alberto's estate.
Anyway, Leah will eventually be killed by Selena, and Alberto's health is deteriorating. When that happens, everything in the Riddle family will be under her control, right? As long as Selena agrees to it! Thinking of this, Klara gathered her courage and negotiated with Selena, "Lady Selena, you know that the child in my belly is not Alberto's at all and cannot possibly threaten you." "I will do my best to help you make sure that Mrs. Riddle and Leah end up in the situation you have arranged for them." "Alberto is still your father. He needs someone to take care of him in his current condition..." "You are not just the Miss of the Riddle family in Creephia, but also the Miss of the Riddle family from the capital, and you have a boyfriend and Olympus Group. As someone as insignificant as me, | would never dare to compete with you for anything, so please help me..." Selena sneered, "What will you do if | don't agree to your request?" Klara's expression changed.
What could she do if Selena didn't agree? Could she dare to threaten Selena or quit her job? She didn't dare! She didn't have the qualifications or courage to threaten Selena! If she quit, Selena would definitely not let her off. She would not only get nothing, but she might also go to jail because of it.
Klara looked at Selena's cold face, and a sense of resentment rose in her heart.
Selena was already planning to replace Mrs. Riddle, and she had already said she wouldn't compete with her for anything. She was so powerful, with such status and power, so why wouldn't she agree to let Klara become the next Mrs. Riddle? As Klara was about to say something else, Selena suddenly shouted, "Shut up!" Klara was startled, and then she saw Selena turn her head suddenly, her sharp gaze fixed on the door, and said in a cold voice, "From this moment on, you are not allowed to mention my name again-" In Klara's stunned eyes, Selena's eyes flashed with a cold light as she looked at her and said, "Unless you want to die!" Klara's spine was chilled.
She looked at Selena's cold face and suddenly realized that someone was following her!
