Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh

Chapter 713 The Riddle Family Selena sneered, her tone devoid of emotion. "So Hattie should understand their desire to have it both ways, to remain silent about their mother's death and the persecution that followed, and not even retaliate?" Leon's expression darkened, but he said nothing.

Selena laughed sarcastically, her eyes full of disdain. "I thought Mr. Riddle had made a choice and would appear here. It seems | was wrong." Leon's expression remained unchanged, but his tone became colder. "Hattie is my sister. | will do everything | can to ensure her safety.” "Hattie must live!" Selena's voice was cold and merciless. "Tell the new Mrs. Riddle that from this moment on, if Hattie so much as scratches a finger, I'll cut off both her daughter's fingers. If Hattie gets sick once while she's at the Riddle family, I'll make her daughter schizophrenic. If Hattie dies, I'll kill her entire family... If she doesn't believe me, she can try me!" Leon's pupils suddenly shrank, and he felt a sense of irony.

They were the Riddle family's children, and they had to rely on an outsider to ensure the safety of their own children.

Was the Riddle family really such a terrible place in Selena's eyes? After thinking about it for a long time, Leon had to admit that this was the normal way of looking at the Riddle family for someone like Selena.

Leon's gaze was complicated as he remained silent for a long time before saying, "I promise you." Selena sneered and turned around. "You will personally come to pick up Hattie on the 3rd of next month, and you won't bring anyone else from the Riddle family." Leon watched her back and couldn't help but ask, "Lady Selena, besides Hattie, do you have any other questions for me?" He thought that even if Selena didn't like them, she would at least ask about Lady Nevaeh.

But this woman had shown no interest in asking about anything.

Selena tilted her head slightly, her eyes especially cold. "Is there any point in asking about someone who has already died?" What could be changed by asking? Leon choked up for a moment.

Then he realized this fact clearly.

Aunt Nevaeh's daughter, who belongs to the Riddle family, was destined to have no relationship with them anymore.

Leon couldn't describe how he felt, "What about you? You're still alive, don't you want to ask for yourself?" Even if he just questioned them why they ignored her for so many years...

Selena sneered, her eyes devoid of warmth, and turned her head, "You're responsible for Hattie today. Remember to bring her back unscathed tomorrow." As Selena spoke, she raised her hand and opened the door.

Leia's eyes turned red with anger as she stared at Leon, "What's the use of asking now? What did you do earlier?" After speaking, she hurriedly went to catch up with Selena.

Leon watched Selena disappear from sight and remained silent for a while before taking out his phone from his pocket and pressing the power button.

There were more than ten missed calls on the screen.

He opened and checked them, then chose one to call back.

A hoarse voice came from the other end, "How is Hattie doing?" Leon looked at Hattie, who was unconscious on the couch, and spoke coldly, "Not good." "I'll go and pick her up with Uncle David right away--" Leon interrupted the other person's words flatly, "No need, Grandma. If Uncle David shows up, it'll only make things worse. As for you... it's better for you not to show up in Creephia for now." There was a long pause on the other end of the phone before a somewhat anxious voice spoke, "Then... how is she?" Leon heard the somewhat nervous voice and a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes.

She was his granddaughter, but she didn't even dare to mention her name.

He couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Grandma, who are you asking about? Apart from Hattie, is there anyone else outside who deserves the Riddle family's attention?" There was the sound of breathing on the other end of the phone, which suddenly became heavier. "I..." Leon's gaze became intense, "Aunt Nevaeh has been dead for more than ten years, and she's buried in Creephia. Do you want me to pay respects to her?" There was no response.

Leon sneered, "Grandma, since you still have this attitude, don't ask about her in the future. Just treat it like the Riddle family never had her, as usual.” This was the truth.

Over the past decade, the Riddle family didn't even know they had a granddaughter until they heard about Lady Nevaeh's daughter from an outsider.

Leon had an intuition that if the Riddle family had shown concern for Selena over the years, her personality wouldn't have been sharpened to be so cold and ruthless.

Perhaps there is still a chance to salvage the situation.

But now, it's too late for everything.

Selena doesn't even have any resentment towards the Riddle family.

She is completely an outsider, a spectator, who is cold-hearted.

This time, Daphne on the other end of the phone finally came out of some kind of emotional state, and her voice was hoarse as she said, "Take a look at Hattie, if she's better, bring her back as soon as possible. She's been out for so long, and | am worried..." Leon's expression turned cold, remembering Selena's incredibly mocking gaze when she left. He lowered his eyelids and said, "Got it." After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Outside the door.

Selena stood in the hallway, staring at the sky outside.

Suddenly, a pair of long arms reached out from behind her and hugged her slender body tightly.

Selena was forcibly pulled into a warm and powerful embrace, and she instinctively wanted to struggle. Then a familiar gentle voice sounded in her ear, "Don't move!" Selena immediately relaxed, slightly tilted her head, and unconsciously showed a sweet smile on her face, "You're here." Osvaldo rubbed against her slender shoulder, lightly sniffing the clean fragrance in her hair, his blood-red lips contrasting with his pitch-black hair, a mess of seductiveness. "I'm sorry..." Selena was confused and didn't understand why he apologized. She slightly widened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" Osvaldo's eerie gaze focused on her face, and his voice was lower and darker than ever before, "I'm late..." "No," Selena couldn't bear to see a man beg like this, and immediately grabbed his hand. But the temperature on his hand froze her, and her heart suddenly felt a pang of pain. "I'm still here, | haven't left, you're not late!" Osvaldo's eerie black eyes locked onto her, and his slender fingers lightly stroked her face, "You, don't be sad for them." Selena felt that this sentence had a deeper meaning, but at this moment she didn't have the energy to analyze it. Her focus was all on the man behind her.

Osvaldo tightly held her waist, making it impossible for her to turn around, but she could see the side of the man's face.

Osvaldo's face was very pale, and his lips were as red as if they were covered in blood...
