Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh

Chapter 1148 If you hit me, I'll hit your daughter The Riddle family's refusal to help Penelope had already caused Daphne a great deal of stress. And on top of that, both Leon and Hattie had been ignoring her lately, which made Daphne even more uneasy.

"That's your daughter, how could you lay a hand on her?!" Daphne exclaimed.

"Mom, you know she's my daughter, but have you seen how she treats me as her father? There's no love for me in her eyes!" Hunter retorted.

"And then there's my older brother and Leon. They're trying to take care of my daughter, but they're actually inciting her to defy me!" Hunter added.

"How can we not teach this little brat a lesson?!" Hunter looked at Daphne with a self-righteous expression.

Daphne was so angry that she clutched her chest. "Don't you know that your daughter is sick?" "Every time you see her after she returned from Creephia, you either scold or beat her. Why can't you show her some more care?" Daphne asked.

Hunter felt a pang of guilt in his heart, but he still argued, "It's her fault, mother. Haven't you seen how she treats Kaitlyn?" Daphne loved Kaitlyn dearly, but Hattie was also her granddaughter, whom she had raised. She couldn't bring herself to mistreat Hattie just for the sake of Kaitlyn.

Especially after hearing Hattie's screams outside Selena's villa and Leon's subsequent words, Daphne was terrified.

Thinking of Hattie’s mother's death, she almost couldn't bear to look into the child's eyes.

Daphne was about to say something, but she suddenly saw Leon leading Hattie over.

Hunter saw them too and shouted angrily, "What are you trying to do, you little brat?" Leon stroked Hattie's hair and said, "Go ahead, I've got your back." With a cold snort, Hattie rushed towards Kaitlyn and slapped her hard on both cheeks before anyone could react.

The crisp sound of the slaps reverberated in everyone's ears.

Kaitlyn felt a sharp pain spread throughout her body from her cheeks, and the pain was so intense that her whole body went numb. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as she cried out in pain, "Mom..." Daphne was stunned.

Manny ran over with red eyes and hugged her.

Hunter's face twisted in anger, and he raised his hand to slap Hattie.

His hand was blocked by Leon halfway through, and Leon gave him a cold glance before looking down at Hattie. "If your hand hurts, you can find someone else to do it." Hattie snorted again and ran away, slapping Kaitlyn twice hard as she went.

Hunter was trembling with anger, and his roar almost changed his tone. "Leon!" Leon let go of his hand and said coldly, "Uncle, you can continue to attack Hattie, but | guarantee that every time you lay a hand on Hattie, it will be doubled back on your illegitimate daughter.” Kaitlyn took four slaps in a row, and her face was completely numb from the pain.

Hearing Leon's words, she instinctively hid in Manny's arms, trembling with fear.

Hunter's face was distorted with anger. "Leon, how dare you treat my daughter like this?!" Leon smiled without any warmth. "Because this is the Riddle family, and Miss Riddle needs to teach a lowly illegitimate child a lesson. Does she need a reason?" There was a hint of a sneer in his tone. "Or do you want me to personally deal with my illegitimate half-brother?" Hunter was horrified. Ache was his only son and the only male heir to the Riddle family except for Leon.

If anything happened to Leon, the Riddle family's biggest inheritance would definitely fall to Ache. It was not surprising that Leon wanted to eliminate this threat.

Leon elegantly flicked the ash off his cigarette and spoke in a cold tone. "Do you want to try, Uncle? Do | dare?" Cold sweat instantly covered Hunter's back, and he opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

Manny hung her head quietly, as if she didn't exist, and no one could see the expression in her eyes at the moment.

Only Kaitlyn, who was hugged by her mother, could clearly feel the strength of her mother's embrace, as if she wanted to crush her. Her whole body was stiff and cold like a dead person.

She was so scared that she couldn't even cry.

In the midst of the silence, Daphne watched the scene of her descendants turning against each other with a heavy heart. "Leon, Ache and Kaitlyn are also your brother and sister. How could you..." Unfortunately, Leon seemed indifferent to Daphne's accusations. He didn't even look at her, just stared at Hunter with a cold and lifeless tone, saying, "If you want your illegitimate son and daughter to live, take good care of Hattie. You're not allowed to call her little beast’ or "cheap girl’ and you're not allowed to lay a hand on her. Otherwise..." The coldness in his noble eyes made Hunter and Daphne shiver. Hattie looked disdainfully at Kaitlyn and said, "If you dare lay a finger on me again, I'll hit your daughter!" Leon rubbed Hattie's hair and led her away. Until they were out of sight, Leon stopped and looked down at Hattie, "Did you vent your anger?" Hattie hummed and frowned, "Brother, that illegitimate daughter came to me just now and asked me to take her to the Turner family's banquet.” "She knows very well that | won't agree to take her there, so why bother coming up to me?" Leon's eyes flickered. The invitation to the Turner family's banquet was not widely circulated, but it wasn't rare either. After all, everyone knew that with the Turner family's reputation in the police world, once they decided to make a move, there would be no shortage of senior police officers in attendance. The invitation to this level of banquet was hard to come by, and even the four great families in the capital didn't receive one.

As for the Anderson family, they shouldn't bother to show up after trying to abduct their daughter.

As for the Poole family, since the Union University event, everyone knew that Christ had feelings for Selena, so the Turner family would never send them an invitation.

The grudge between the Shaw family and the Turner family was well known.

As for the Riddle family... they naturally didn't receive an invitation.

Therefore, at least half of the attendees at the Turner family's banquet would be uninvited troublemakers. With so many troublesome people gathered together, even if that woman had bad intentions, she wouldn't be able to harm Selena.

Christ and Alfie may not be good people, but they wouldn't want to hurt Selena.
