Chapter 777 Invitation Although she didn't like to waste time, there were some occasions among the aristocracy that couldn't be avoided.
Selena took the invitation, opened her pen, wrote a name, and handed it to Patrick.
Patrick looked at the name on the invitation, his eyes filled with a hint of complexity. "Just one?" Selena smiled slightly. "One is enough.” Patrick looked at her beautiful and confident face, knowing that her mind was made up, and said nothing more. He handed the invitation to the butler to be sent to the Anderson family.
Creephia, in the hospital.
Alberto was panting on the hospital bed when the door of the ward suddenly burst open from the outside.
Startled, Alberto looked up and saw a group of police officers walking in.
Panic flooded his face. Before Alberto could ask, the leading officer handcuffed him, coldly ordering, "Take him away!" Alberto was forcibly pressed onto a wheelchair and pushed out of the room.
Terrified, he shouted, "I haven't done anything wrong! Why are you arresting me?" The officers ignored his angry screams and, as soon as they stepped outside the hospital doors, Alberto was hit on the head by someone waiting for him outside, causing blood to flow.
Various eggs, rotten leaves, and stones were thrown at Alberto's head.
Alberto screamed in agony.
Someone even broke through the police cordon and came straight to him to beat him up.
Alberto covered his face with both hands, looking like he had been thrown into a garbage dump.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis ears were filled with hateful curses.
"This garbage! A scumbag! Disgusting waste of space and food!" "He should just die! People like him are a waste of air and food!" "He seized other people's property, abused their daughter... a dog is better than this animal!" Hearing those curses, Alberto's mind buzzed, and he suddenly realized that everything he had done had been exposed. Fear overwhelmed him.
He wanted to shout and call for help, but he was already an outcast.
Even his only daughter, Leah, had abandoned him. Once he went to jail, he would never come out again.
In extreme fear and anger, he remembered Leah's words and shouted, "I want to see Selena! No matter what, she's called me Dad for so many years..." This statement ignited the public anger once again.
"Bah! You scum, how dare you call yourself Lady Selena’s father?" "Lady Selena's father is a handsome and charming man known throughout the capital. What qualifications do you, a disgusting insect, have to compare with him?" "This despicable creature still wants to threaten Lady Selena with family ties at a time like this! It's really sickening!" "Alberto, you beast, even if Lady Selena ignores you, if she were to kill you with her own hands, we would all applaud her with our hands and feet!" Faced with the raging insults, Alberto could no longer hold on and spat out blood before fainting.
Inside the Riddle family building.
Leah sat in her office, staring at the live broadcast on her screen expressionlessly.
Such explosive news couldn't be missed by Creephia's reporters, who went live on the scene.
Therefore, Leah could clearly see the entire process of Alberto being beaten, cursed, and eventually passing out due to anger.
However, she didn't show any extra expression on her face.
At this moment, there was no one else in the Riddle family building except for her.
Since Luke exposed the truth about Alberto and Lady Nevaeh's marriage, everyone knew that the Riddle family was finished! Employees who couldn't stand the Riddle family's character left directly, and shareholders who were afraid of retaliation from Selena also ran away with their tails between their legs.
Now, the entire Riddle family was left with only Leah.
In the empty office, there was suddenly a knock on the door, which sounded particularly clear in the quiet space.
Leah's body, which had been stiff for a long time, finally moved.
She didn't go to open the door, and the person outside didn't mind. After a brief exchange, they broke in directly with their people.
Luke took off his sunglasses and said, "Leah, we are here on Lady Selena's orders to take back her mother's things. Do you have anything to say?" This question was nothing short of ironic.
The Riddle family belonged to Lady Nevaeh.
Leah had no relationship with her at all.
Was it useful for her to say she didn't want to return it? Leah sneered and stood up from the desk. "What do you want to say, Mr. Jordon?" Luke smiled and reached out his hand. His secretary behind him handed her a bill that was several dozen pages long. "This is a bill of expenses that your Riddle family, including the three of you and those miscellaneous relatives, have incurred in the past twenty years. If you see no problem with it, then please pay it back." Leah clenched her fists and trembled slightly.
The amount of money her family had spent over the past decade was already a staggering figure.
Now that the Riddle family had been repossessed and she had nothing, she would never be able to pay it off in her lifetime.
Her fiancé's family of four had also been evicted from the Walson family and were still relying on her for support.
This bill could easily drive her to a dead end...
Leah gritted her teeth, took the bill, and smiled at Luke, "I will repay Selena for this bill!" Luke squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the woman in front of him who, until this moment, was able to remain calm except for her pale complexion.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPerhaps they had underestimated this woman...
That's right.
Could a woman who had calculated Selena to that extent, sending her own parents to prison, give up so easily? Leah left the Riddle family building with the bill in hand.
After she left, Luke took out another document and clicked his tongue.
It was the 20% share of the Riddle family that Selena had given him earlier.
Without this share, Osvaldo would not have met Selena, let alone marry her so easily.
Although it was not used, it could be considered a "token of their love" for each other.
Luke put away the shares, waved his hand, and the elite members of the Olympus Group's departments entered one after another, beginning the road to the Riddle family's revival.
Capital.
Selena had been busy until noon, then remembered that she had made plans to go shopping with Lady Lauren, so she tidied up and took Leia out.
After getting in the car, Selena said lightly, "Call Hattie, we'll pick her up." Leia was stunned.
Selena hadn't mentioned Hattie since she arrived in capital.
The previous invitation was only sent to Osvaldo.
Leia almost thought that she had forgotten about Hattie and was worried that her little apprentice would be sad.
Upon hearing Selena's words, she was naturally very happy and took out her phone to send a message to Hattie, asking for her address.
The response was quick, indicating that she had been waiting all along.
