CHAPTER 851 SELENA'S PAST

Chapter 851 Selena's Past

Kaitlyn looked up again after a moment, rubbing her eyes. Manny seemed to notice her gaze and

looked down at her. Kaitlyn shivered and lowered her head, whispering, "Mom..."

Manny touched her hair and spoke gently, "It's okay."

Daphne watched the tense scene with a pang of pain in her heart, but what she wanted to know most

at the moment was the truth about her daughter's death. She spoke angrily, "Everyone except for Leon

and Hattie, get out!"

Hunter, who had just been publicly embarrassed by Leon, didn't want to stay and embarrass himself

further, so he turned around and took Manny and Kaitlyn with him as he walked out. After they left,

Leon lowered his head and looked at the little girl in his arms.

He had only brought Hattie here to help her relieve her unstable emotions these past few days. Seeing

the family's anger, he decided to let the little girl cool down a bit. Hattie had a cold expression on her

face and gave a disdainful snort as the family left.

Leon finally let her down and stood by her side as she looked at Daphne with a cold face. Daphne

looked back at her, but the little girl's eyes held no trace of affection or fondness for her, nor did they

hold any innocence or recklessness. They were just cold and empty.

In her eyes, Daphne was like a completely unrelated stranger. Daphne felt heartbroken, but she

suppressed her resentment as her granddaughter was sick. She looked at Leon and asked in a cold

tone, "Leon, I'm asking you, how did Nevaeh die?"

Leon frowned. Daphne had gone to the Turner family this morning and suddenly asked this question. It

was obvious that someone had mentioned Lady Nevaeh's death to her. But Selena didn't seem like the

type of person to hold a grudge against the Riddle family. If anything, her anger would show that she

still cared about them.

But Leon had never seen any resentment towards the Riddle family on Selena's face. Hattie spoke in a

cold tone, "Aunt Nevaeh died more than ten years ago. What's the use of asking about it now?"

If they had paid more attention to the affairs of Creephia ten years ago, Nevaeh wouldn't have died

without anyone knowing and Selena wouldn't have suffered for so many years. Daphne felt like she

had been stabbed and stammered, "I... I just..."

Hattie sneered and said, "You and grandfather were just too heartbroken and felt guilty towards Aunt

Nevaeh, so you dared not mention her. You were afraid that it would make you sad and hurt, so for so

many years, you would rather show concern for a fake person and imagine that person as Aunt

Nevaeh than pay attention to any news related to her... Since you had already decided to abandon

Aunt Nevaeh and Selena, they have no relationship with the Riddle family anymore. Why are you

asking about them now? Don't you think your question is disgusting?" This content © 2024 .

Daphne seemed to be touched on a sore spot and burst into tears. Leon frowned, seeming to want to

say something but held back after looking at Hattie's face.

These words had been bottled up in Hattie's mind for too long. If she didn't say them all, it would

worsen her condition. Hearing Daphne crying, Hattie thought of how Selena had been living these

years since Leon had investigated. Tears flowed out of her eyes as she said, "I'll tell you how Aunt

Nevaeh died. She was driven to death by a pair of scumbags. That whole family of scum bullied

Selena, who was only five years old at the time, in front of her and caused her to die without any

closure..."

Daphne trembled all over, her whole body seemed to convulse. Hattie showed a smug smile and

continued, "And then that whole family of scum took over her estate, ruined her reputation, and abused

her daughter. Selena hasn't had a good day in over a decade..."

"She was bullied at home and suffered from cold violence at school. Her mother died early, her home

was taken away, her fiancé was taken away, and everything she had was taken away by that family.

Not only that, but they also framed her and bullied her..."

"On her wedding night, the scumbag groom backed out, and she became infamous. She even suffered

from severe depression and was almost raped by a group of men..."

"When she was struggling to survive, what were you, her so-called grandmother, doing?"

Daphne was already in a daze, staring at Hattie blankly, seeming to have forgotten even how to cry.

Hattie looked at her dazed face and thought of Penelope's treatment in the Riddle family over the

years, comparing it to Selena's life. Hatred showed in her eyes as she said, "If Aunt Nevaeh knew how

difficult her daughter had been living after she died, she would be very sad and heartbroken..."

Daphne thought of her daughter, and her heart twitched with extreme sadness. "I... I didn't know..."

"Of course, you don't know anything. All you care about is your Penelope!" Hattie wiped away her tears

and stared at Daphne with a mocking expression. "You knew about Selena's existence a long time ago,

but you refused to bring her home because you were afraid Penelope would be upset."

"You never mentioned Selena, and you even talked about the other members of the Riddle family, but

you never mentioned her."

"Selena helped her mother seek revenge, and yet you still criticize her as if she's the worst of the worst.

You're not even worthy of being Nevaeh's aunt!"

Daphne was deeply hurt by Hattie's accusations. She was getting old and didn't use the internet, and

she deliberately avoided any news about Selena because of her concern for Penelope. Everything she

knew about Selena came from Penelope and Kaitlyn. How could she have known...

Hattie's eyes grew colder. "Everyone in H country knows about it except for you, which proves that

you're not even worthy of being Nevaeh's mother!"

Hattie said what she wanted to say and turned to leave.

Ever since her mother's death, she had developed an indescribable aversion to this place. If it weren't

for fear that Daphne might continue to accuse Selena, she wouldn't have come back.

As for what will happen to Daphne, Hattie doesn't care. She only knows one thing: no matter what

Daphne does, Selena will never acknowledge her or recognize the Riddle family.

Leon glanced at Hattie and called his assistant to protect her before walking over to Daphne and wiping

her tears with a handkerchief. "Grandma, you made a mistake regarding Nevaeh's matter."

Daphne looked up at him. "I..."

Leon sighed. "Hattie just feels that it's unfair, Lady Selena isn't blaming you."

Not blaming her, but also not liking her.

Daphne's eyes lit up slightly. "Leon, Selena..."

"It's impossible..."
