Chapter 77
Leah bit her pale lips, her eyes filled with guilt and unease.
She looked at Selena, as if she felt afraid, her whole body trembled, choked up and said, “Selena, it is Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
my fault alone, my existence makes you feel like an eyesore, I’m sorry.”
There seemed to be a flash of pain on her face, and there seemed to be tears coming out of her eyes,
such a look of aggression was so sincere that one could not bear to hurt her.
“But Selena, this is ultimately our family affair, there’s no need to make such a fuss and drag innocent
people into it, if dad knows about it…”
Leah clenched her red lips, her eyes were full of depression and sadness, she said in a dumb voice, “If
you have anger, come at me alone, the students are innocent, we can’t ruin their great future because
of our sisters’ grudges.”
She sniffled, her eyes red, and looked at her pleadingly, seemingly heartbroken to the core, “Selena,
please let them go, as long as you don’t pursue this matter, I’m willing to do whatever you want me to
do.”
The corners of Selena’s lips held an icy smile, she looked at Leah with a hint of playfulness,
“Anything?”
Leah’s heart tightened and cold sweat sprang up on her hands.
But she was well aware of how much this matter would affect her if it did get out of hand.
She was in a difficult position, and had to use a delaying tactic to pacify Selena first, and then-
A deceptively cold light swept across her eyes, but her expression was resolute as she looked at
Selena, “Yes, as long as you can let go of this matter, I will promise you anything you want me to do.”
Selena stared at Leah who was full of determination, cocked her head and smiled slightly, “What if I
want you to voluntarily give up your right to inherit the Riddle family?”
Leah looked up at Selena, with a deadly stare.
Before she could say anything, Angie shouted in a spiteful manner, “Selena, don’t go too far! The
Riddle family belongs to Leah, who are you to compete with Leah?!”
Even Dominic paled slightly as he looked at Leah with worry, lest she might really agree to this
excessive request because of her guilt towards Selena and her desire to clear the air with her.
Selena glanced at the tense and angry expressions of the two siblings of the Walson family, her eyes
arrogant. She coldly smiled, full of disdain and mockery, “This is the first time I have heard that the
daughter of a mistress has the qualification to squeeze out the eldest young lady born from the original
spouse in an open and fair manner to inherit the family property. Miss Walson, are you out of your
mind?”
Angie was extremely angry, her face was red, but she couldn’t refute to refute Selena, she just coldly
snorted in a petulant manner, “If the Riddle family is in your hand, it will be ruined by you. Do you have
the ability to manage the company?! Leah can make the Riddle family better, the Riddle family should
naturally be handed over to her!”
Selena’s eyes were raised in a smile and her tone was clear and light as she let out a sneer, “The
Riddle family was built up by my mother, and she, Leah, the illegitimate daughter of a mistress and the
daughter of my mother’s executioner, has the audacity to say that she wants to inherit the Riddle
family? How can she have guts?”
Leah trembled heavily, a hint of sadness on her face.
Selena pulled up her hair, arrogantly justified, “I, Selena, am the only Miss of the Riddle family, born to
inherit the Riddle family, as long as I am happy, even if I lose what belongs to me, play with it or give it
away, that is still my pleasure. Furthermore, it is not the turn of an outsider like Miss Walson to dictate
the affairs of my Riddle family!”
