Chapter 972 Have you really thought about it? Selena grabbed Osvaldo's hand and smiled, "I'm fine." Daphne only makes her feel angry and sad, but not to that extent.
Osvaldo rubbed her forehead and asked, "Do you want to rest this afternoon?" Selena tilted her head and thought for a moment.
She was originally planning to visit Milana in the afternoon.
But Osvaldo never interferes with any of her actions, and his treatment of her can be described as completely obedient.
When the man suddenly made a request, it seemed that it was because she had been poisoned and needed to recuperate.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt seemed impossible to refuse.
So Selena smiled and said, "Okay." Osvaldo held her hand and walked out.
Selena turned back to Leia, who was hiding behind the stairs and peeking with her big eyes covered, and said, "Bring Hattie with us." The little girl was sick, and Selena was worried about leaving her alone in the Turner family.
Leia immediately went upstairs to pick up Hattie.
That afternoon, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Taxation Bureau suddenly intervened in the investigation of the Riddle's finances under the pretext of investigation.
Many of the Riddle's projects were forced to shut down.
To make matters worse, the Riddle's network suddenly suffered a major virus attack, causing the entire inteindustry to collapse overnight and becinoperable.
Economic empires like the Riddle's, with intertwined roots, are all affected when the main company is in trouble, and its other industries are instantly affected.
Such a disastrous blow, even if it was just for one day or even just one hour, the losses for the entire the Riddle's cannot be estimated.
For a time, the whole the Riddle's was in turmoil.
Many of the capital's aristocratic families were also in an uproar.
Everyone knew that this was the Anderson family and the Turner family retaliating against the Riddle family for Selena, and they were gloating while secretly fearing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven the former Riddle family of the four major families couldn't resist the joint revenge of the Anderson family and the Turner family, so what would happen if they were targeted by other families? Compared to the leaders of the major families who are watching the situation, the daughters and wives of the major families are mostly jealous. Selena felt aggrieved. The Turner family and the Anderson family went to great lengths to help her, and this honor was absolutely unique in the entire capital! While they gritted their teeth with envy, they also thought Daphne was really foolish. She implicated the entire Riddle family just for an adopted daughter...
The Riddle family. Hunter paced anxiously in the hall, his face full of anger. Although the Riddle family hadn't fallen apart yet, it was inevitable that there would be losses, especially in his industries.
The other members of the Riddle family also sat with grim faces. Angus walked in from outside with a dark look on his face.
"Master David, we haven't found Miss Hattie." Hattie was with Selena, guarded by Osvaldo. Even though Hunter was Hattie's father, they couldn't just barge in and demand her return.
"Unfilial daughter!" Hunter's face turned pale.
Issac glanced at him with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "David, don't you know that Hattie was beaten by her mother and is now in the hospital unconscious?" Hunter's face changed, and his brow furrowed. "| just wanted her to say a few words. Can't she just wake up?" Leon's face turned cold when he heard this. "Enough! Uncle David, you should be grateful to Hattie. If it weren't for her blocking Grandmother's slap, Lady Selena would have been hit and the situation of the Riddle family would be even worse than it is now!" "And why are you looking for Hattie for such a big matter? Do you want her to plead for the Riddle family?" Leon sneered. "Believe me, if you do that, whether your other daughter can see the sun tomorrow is an unknown variable." Hunter was humiliated by the father and son's mockery and his face turned white. "What should we do then? That unfilial daughter always talks about how Selena saved her and was good to her. Now that the Riddle family is in trouble, why can't she go and plead for them?" "Don't forget, even if Selena can clear her relationship with the Riddle family, she can forget about having a good life!" Issac coldly sneered. "David, | think you've really gone mad!" Leon shifted his gaze away, too lazy to speak again. Hunter's face was almost distorted with anger at the father and son's stubbornness.
The other shareholders of the Riddle family didn't say anything, but the disapproving look in their eyes towards Hunter was unmistakable. What kind of person could be so cruel to his own daughter? The Riddle family was fortunate that their future wouldn't fall into his hands. Although they looked down on Hunter, they still needed to address the matter at hand. One shareholder looked towards Leon and said, "Young Master, now is not the tto be prideful. We need a solution for the Turner and Anderson families." Leon tapped his slender fingers on the table and smirked, "A solution... hasn't it always been there?" The people in the room were initially stunned, but then they suddenly understood what Leon meant. The reason why the Turner and Anderson families targeted the Riddle family was because Daphne openly bullied the young lady from the Turner family. The conflict caused by Daphne naturally needed her to step up and resolve it. It was obvious that the Turner and Anderson families wanted Daphne to apologize to Selena in person.
Once they realized Leon's plan, he stood up, put on his coat, and casually buttoned it up. He then addressed Issac, "Father, I'll be relying on you for the next few days." Issac, who anticipated the chaos that would occur in the Riddle family, waved his hand, allowing his son to leave quickly.
As the grandson, Leon could hide, but as the son, he had no room to do so. Leon smiled and walked out of the room, where he saw Erica waiting for him outside the front door. Erica walked over and helped her son adjust his collar. "I told you before that | wanted to meet Miss Turner... what did she say?" Leon stared into his mother's eyes and suddenly asked, "Do you have something to say to her?" Erica's eyes seemed to be clouded by something as she spoke flatly, "I don't know if it's right or wrong to say it, but... that child has the right to know." Leon's eyes turned cold as he asked, "Is it related to Aunt Nevaeh?" Erica didn't deny it. Leon's heart sank bit as he stared into her eyes and asked, "Mother, have you really thought this through?" Erica smiled and said, "Maybe what I'm doing is bit rebellious as a daughter-in-law, but Leon, remember, before having this identity, your mother was a police officer!" Leon remembered her brave deeds when she was younger and smiled, hugging his mother before leaving.
