Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh

Chapter 971 You're Here "Selena--" "This has nothing to do with Selena," Lady Lauren interrupted Daphne, her smile graceful and dignified, "It was my son who did it. I heard him ordering someone to beat Penelope, and to make it really hurt." "So, Daphne, don't accuse Selena wrongly." Of course, if Osvaldo hadn't intervened, Penelope might have been executed on the spot by now.

Lady Lauren thought of the words the person on the phone had said to Osvaldo, and was somewhat amazed.

She had not expected that the Judicature, which was known for its strict adherence to principles, would really break its principles because of Selena's words.

Daphne covered her chest, shaking with anger. "You..." "You bully my son's beloved girl, and you won't let my son seek justice for her?" Lady Lauren said with a smile, "Daphne, you should be thankful that you are of a certain age and have the status of an elder. It wouldn't look good if my son beat you up.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be beating Penelope, but you!" When Kaitlyn heard this, she was afraid that Selena would really send someone to kill someone, and she trembled with fear. She looked up at her mother, hoping to find comfort and protection.

But when she saw Manny's expression, she was confused.

Manny lowered her head and smiled.

A pleasant, twisted, and somewhat pathological smile.

Daphne was humiliated by these people... why was her mother laughing? Kaitlyn looked at her mother's weird smile and shivered.

Manny suddenly turned her head and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Her gentle and dignified voice made it seem like the previous smile was just an illusion.

Kaitlyn trembled and said, "Mom... Selena said she wants to kill me and my brother... I'm scared..." Manny touched her hair and smiled meaningfully, "She won't." Even if Selena really wanted to kill Kaitlyn and Ache in a fit of anger, someone would step in to stop her.

Before the Riddle family's secrets were completely exposed, they would not choose to go down with her.

When Kaitlyn heard Manny say this, she was not relieved, but even more afraid.

But she didn't dare to ask more, so she just lowered her head and stood quietly by her mother's side.

Daphne was almost fainting with anger. She pointed to the gate of the Riddle family and yelled, "Get out! All of you, get out!" Lady Lauren's smile turned cold. "It seems like you don't think you did anything wrong, Daphne. Don't blame the Anderson family... we'll be ruthless from now on!" With that, Lady Lauren walked away from the Riddle family, and the other noblewomen followed suit, giving Daphne cold looks.

Hunter listened to Lady Lauren's departing words, feeling sweat on his forehead. He looked at Daphne, who was breathing heavily in anger, and saw a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. All of this trouble for Penelope, and now they had offended both the Anderson and Turner families...

Meanwhile, in the Turner family's hall, Selena was tending to Hattie's swollen face. She sat on the sofa, watching as her gentle fingers brushed over the girl's cheek. "Remember, Hattie, this is the last time. Don't let anyone hit your face again.” Hattie looked into Selena's icy yet gentle eyes for a long moment before saying coldly, "She can't hit Selena..." Selena replied softly, "No, she can't. Even if you didn't help me, | wouldn't let her touch me." The real Selena was dead, and Daphne had nothing to do with her. Trying to trap her with family ties was a foolish and impossible move. The Riddle family in Creephia was a prime example of what could happen.

Once Hattie had calmed down, Selena motioned for the waiting psychologist to come forward and examine her. She leaned against the railing and asked Leia, "What's happening with the trial?" Leia's eyes darted around nervously as she whispered, "I was a bit late with my call. Penelope got beaten up by the other inmates in the trial court because of her spoiled and arrogant behavior. She's now in the hospital..." Selena's gaze paused for a moment before she pursed her lips and turned her head slightly. "She didn't fight back?" "No," Leia nodded firmly. "The young master personally sent someone to watch over her. No matter how those people hit her, Penelope performed like a helpless little lady with no skills at all.” Leia suddenly realized that she might have said something terrible.

Selena seemed not to notice the information revealed in Leia's words. She lowered her eyes and began to ponder. She had always suspected that Penelope was the one who attacked her at the fragrance competition banquet. If it was really Penelope, then her identity was definitely on par with that of a top assassin. Would a top assassin be able to hold back and not fight back when being beaten? Selena's eyes sank. There were two possibilities: either Penelope really didn't do it, or someone had instructed her beforehand not to show any flaws in the prison, otherwise she would die faster. Only when her life was threatened could the proud Penelope endure the beating without fighting back.

Selena's slender fingers slowly brushed across her eyes.

Leia knew that when Selena made this gesture, it meant she was concentrating on thinking. So she quietly stopped the psychiatrist who was walking towards them. The psychiatrist was startled, looked up and saw the person walking in from the entrance. Then, he turned and picked up Hattie, who had fallen asleep on the sofa under hypnosis, and went upstairs.

Leia also saw the person who walked in and covered her mouth, feeling a bit guilty, and slipped away. In an instant, there was only Selena in the entire hall, leaning lazily against the stairway with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, a pair of long arms stretched out from behind and hugged her delicate body. Selena felt a familiar warm embrace against her back, was stunned for a moment, then opened her eyes and revealed a sweet smile. "You're here..." Osvaldo's deep gaze fell on Selena's side face, confirming that she showed no signs of sadness other than anger. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek.
