When Selena hung up the phone, she had a smile on her face and seemed to be in a good mood.
But when her gaze fell on Ghost, she suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
She stood up, smiled politely and distantly, "Then please, Mr. Ghost." Ghost looked at her deeply and spoke with a cold tone, "It's not a problem." After Selena finished speaking, she turned to Patrick and said, "Thank you, Mr. Turner, for tonight." Patrick looked at her and then at Ghost, seeming to want to say something but holding back. "It's okay. Lady Selena, please rest early." Selena nodded and smiled at Patrick before taking Leia into Ghost's room.
Ghost's thin lips curved slightly as he calmly followed behind her.
Patrick lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a moment before turning to leave.
It wasn't until this moment that the others in the hallway gradually snapped out of their daze.
They stared at Selena's slender figure and watched her calmly walk into Ghost's room, thinking of the man's bone-melting voice on the phone earlier... They were both angry and jealous.
Adeline was furious tonight and glared at Angie fiercely. "Wait for me!" After speaking, she stomped away in her high heels.
The others had also had enough of the commotion and left one by one.
Soon, only the Walson siblings, Leah and Beatrix, who was lying on the ground in critical condition, remained at the scene.
When Angie saw Ghost leave, she burst into tears, her face filled with hatred. "Selena--" Dominic's face was icy as he looked at her coldly. "You can keep crying and making a scene. When the media exposes the photos, not only will you be infamous, but the Walson family will also lose reputation. | want to see how Grandpa will punish you!" Angie's cries abruptly stopped, and extreme fear flooded her eyes.
She had tarnished the Walson family's reputation so badly, and Grandpa Walson would never let her off the hook.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe could have pinned the blame on Selena and cried that Selena had caused her harm since this was Selena's room. Many people would have believed her.
But she had tried to drag Selena into the mud and had angered Ghost, who had promptly brought out the surveillance footage.
Now everyone knew the cause and effect of the incident.
Angie finally panicked, tears streaming down her face as she tugged at Dominic's sleeve, trembling, "Brother, save me... save me..." Dominic looked at her exhausted face and a deep weariness flooded over him.
Leah stood quietly on the side with her head lowered, trying to minimize her presence.
In case Angie remembers what she had done earlier and reports it to Dominic, he would know her true nature.
Fortunately, Angie was caught up in deep panic and Dominic was anxious to resolve the situation, so nobody thought about her for the time being.
With such a big incident happening, Dominic didn't dare to hide it from Mrs. Walson.
Mrs. Walson took a private plane that night and rushed to M City as as possible.
Angie was seriously injured and was sent to the hospital, falling asleep.
Dominic and Leah stood outside the door, listening to footsteps. They looked up and saw Mrs. Walson walking in with a grim expression.
Leah hurried forward, "Madam--" Before she could finish, Mrs. Walson suddenly raised her hand and slapped her hard across Leah's face.
Leah covered her face where she was hit, shrugging her shoulders and unable to see her expression clearly.
Dominic was stunned, "Mom--" Before he could finish his sentence, Mrs. Walson slapped Leah's other cheek with equal force.
With a loud "smack", the sound of the slap was especially clear in the quiet hospital corridor.
Leah staggered back a few steps from the blow.
Dominic finally came to his senses and walked over, embracing Leah, "Mom, why did you hit Leah?" Mrs. Walson's face was full of anger as she looked at him coldly, "You useless thing!" Dominic's face was unpleasant, but he couldn't argue.
He let Angie suffer such a big injury and caused such a big trouble. No matter what, he couldn't escape blame.
Mrs. Walson's eyes turned cold as he stared at Leah, who was being protected in Dominic's arms, and said in a cold voice, "Leah, listen to me. If you can't win the championship at tomorrow's awards ceremony, I'll make sure you learn your lesson.” Dominic couldn't see clearly what happened tonight, but he knew for sure that it was Leah's doing.
Such vicious means can only be done by her and no one else.
Leah wanted to harm Selena, but ended up harming Angie instead.
Leah's body trembled slightly, she clenched her fingers tightly and said with lowered eyes, "I understand... Madam." Mrs. Walson finally gave up, snorted coldly, and turned to walk into the ward to see Angie.
In the corridor, Dominic looked at Leah's bruised face with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, "Leah, why did my mom hit you?" If Mrs. Walson was angry, he would be the first to be hit since he didn't take good care of Angie and let her cause such a big trouble.
But as soon as she came in, she didn't say anything and slapped Leah hard twice, and even said such a warning-filled sentence.
Leah's face twitched violently, looking up at Dominic, tears swirling in her eyes, she smiled bitterly, "I's because my surname is Riddle and | am Selena'’s sister..." Dominic looked at her pale and gloomy face, his breath suddenly hitched.
Although tonight's incident was caused by Angie's own doing, strictly speaking, Selena couldn't be considered innocent either.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, it was her who had grudges with Beatrix, and Beatrix was targeting her. Angie just happened to stumble upon it by accident.
Mrs. Walson's anger towards Selena could be easily justified.
But because of Selena, he directed his anger towards Leah...
Dominic raised his hand and gently touched her face with pity.
Leah's face was covered in blood from being beaten by an enraged Angie earlier, and then slapped twice by Mrs. Walson. She was completely disfigured at the moment.
He hugged Leah into his arms and said warmly, "I'll watch over Angie and my mom, you go find a doctor to treat your face, and then rest well. You still have to show up tomorrow..." Leah's eyes were sour, feeling both sad and moved.
When Mrs. Walson hit her just now, she really missed Mrs. Riddle. If her mother hadn't been in prison, Mrs. Walson would never have hit her.
Although Mrs. Riddle was vulgar, ignorant, and stupid... she sincerely cared for and protected her daughter.
Selena said that she wanted her to experience what it was like to have no mother.
At that moment, she really experienced the huge difference between a child with a mother and one without.
If Selena had been the one who suffered tonight, the only outcome waiting for her would have been a fate worse than death, being disgraced and ruined.
But the person who suffered tonight was Angie, because she had a caring mother and brother, and the Walson family to clean up the mess for her...
Even if she was hurt, she would not be destroyed, and she might soon be able to come out of it again.
This is the difference between having family and not having family...
Although Dominic was seduced by her by dirty means.
