Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh

Chapter 817 Apologies! "Your Riddle family's blood is so dirty, that man | called ‘dad’ for over ten years is so dirty, your heart is so dirty... | don't care!" Daphne's body shook in disbelief as she stared at Hattie. "What... what are you talking about?" Hattie looked at her coldly. "From now on, | am not part of the Riddle family anymore, just like Selena.” Suddenly, a slender hand rested on Hattie's shoulder, stopping her from continuing. It also made Hattie feel a warm sensation on her cold body.

She looked up and saw Selena standing in the sun after the snow, with a gentle expression on her beautiful face.

At the same time, Daphne also saw the girl who had suddenly appeared next to Hattie. She was wearing a white windbreaker, her long black hair falling over her shoulders, elegant and beautiful, and her clear black eyes had no warmth at the moment, but her aura was almost emanating from within her bones.

This was the first time Daphne had seen Selena. It was completely different from what she had imagined, crude, brutal, gloomy, and domineering. The girl stood there, dressed in white with black hair, exuding an otherworldly elegance.

Daphne looked at the familiar face and tears suddenly slid down her cheeks. She murmured, "Nevaeh..." Penelope looked at Selena’'s appearance, lowered her eyes, and clenched her fists.

Selena didn't look at Daphne, she lowered her head and gently touched Hattie's pale and empty face. "Hattie, remember, you are the young lady of the Riddle family. Compared to you, Daphne is just an outsider. Only you can kick her out, she has no right to kick you out, understand?" Hattie was stunned for a moment, and then tears rolled down her cheeks as she lowered her head. She was just too sad. Even though Daphne had done such a vicious thing before, there was still some affection for her grandmother in her young heart. But Daphne's words just now completely shattered the warmth in her heart. She spoke impulsively and said those things.

Daphne's face suddenly changed when she heard Selena's words. She saw Hattie crying and seemed to realize what she had said. Her face turned pale, "Hattie, I..." But Hattie didn't want to talk to her anymore. She turned around and hugged Selena’s legs like an injured little animal, and once again plunged into her slender arms to heal her wounds.

Selena gently patted the child's shoulder and then lifted her eyelids, looking towards Daphne on the other side.

Daphne trembled as she met Selena’s black and cold eyes and took an involuntary step forward, softly calling out, "Nevaeh..." Selena's voice was cold as she commanded, "Stop!" Daphne's footsteps were instantly nailed to the ground. She realized that this was not Nevaeh but Selena, Nevaeh's daughter and her granddaughter. Remembering the words she had spoken in anger just now, Daphne's face turned even paler. Her mouth moved as if she wanted to explain something, but she didn’t know how to say it.

Selena glanced coldly at her before turning her gaze to Penelope. She looked down at Penelope and said, "Did | not tell you to stay away from me?" Penelope's face turned white as she looked at Daphne's dazed expression, hurriedly explaining, "Lady Selena, please believe me. Today's incident was an accident. Grandma and | just went out to look for Hattie, and we didn't know you were here..." Selena gently patted Hattie's back and interrupted her coldly, "Lady Lauren invited many ladies from the capital today to introduce the Anderson family's designated daughter-in-law. Everyone knows this except for you, Penelope..." "What's most ironic is that, despite your ignorance, you still brought someone to my doorstep," Selena continued. "It's just like last time at the Riddle family's birthday banquet. You knew nothing, but you still managed to cross paths with me. Penelope, do you think everyone in the capital is as muddled as Daphne?" If it were any other time, Daphne would have been angry to hear Selena openly insult her like that. But now, she saw Selena's face, which was almost identical to her deceased daughter's, and was caught in some kind of emotion, unable to come back to reality. She had no intention of defending Penelope.

Penelope's face changed slightly as she gritted her teeth and looked at Selena. After a moment, she suddenly bent down towards Selena and said, "Lady Selena, today's incident was indeed planned by me, but | just wanted you to see Grandma and go back to the Riddle family..." "As long as you are willing to return to the Riddle family, and reconcile with Grandpa and Grandma, even if it means | have to leave the Riddle family, I will have no regrets.” Selena raised an eyebrow and fixed her cold gaze on Penelope.

Penelope couldn't help but tremble.

Selena had seen her before, and this was probably not the first time they had met since Selena arrived in the capital.

But Penelope felt that this was the first time Selena had truly taken notice of her. It was as if Selena had never regarded her as someone worth paying attention to before...

Penelope felt resentful in her heart, but she had to take this step and humbly lower her head, letting Selena scrutinize her.

Selena stared at Penelope for a moment, then asked, "What do you really want?" Penelope's heart tightened. "I don't mean anything else. | just want Grandpa and Grandma to be happy..." "I'm young, but | have good hearing. | heard what Daphne just said," Selena said in a light tone. "Your lie was too clumsy." Earlier, even if Selena had exhausted all means, even if the Riddle family bloodline was cut off, the Riddle family would never recognize Selena.

Daphne had obviously also realized what she had said and the last trace of color drained from her face. She explained subconsciously, "I..." She wanted to say that she didn't mean it.

If she had known Selena was here, she would never have said such a thing.

She also wanted to explain to Selena that she didn't know Selena was here today, otherwise she would never have had a conflict with Hattie.

She had just suppressed her emotions for too long and was driven crazy by Hattie's words.

Who knew...

Although Daphne didn't like Selena, she didn't want to hurt the daughter left behind by Nevaeh, especially when she saw how much the girl resembled Nevaeh.

Penelope immediately shook her head. "Grandma didn't mean it. She was just provoked by Hattie. Lady Selena, please believe Grandma..."
