In the room, the doctor had just placed Hattie, who had finally regained consciousness, onto the bed when Leon walked in.
Leon approached the bed and saw Hattie's pale and bloodless face. His eyes suddenly grew cold, and he turned and walked out.
He lit a cigarette in front of the window and took a deep drag, trying to calm his anger. Then he asked coldly, "What happened?"
The maid who was taking care of Hattie walked over and said, "Miss Hattie didn't go out or meet anyone. When the abnormality happened, she only had her phone with her."
As she spoke, the maid handed over Hattie's phone to Leon.
Leon took it and unlocked it, carefully examining it. However, there was nothing noteworthy on Hattie's phone except for the missed call from him.
Leon didn't dwell on it and locked the phone again. As long as they didn't lose this phone, they would eventually find out what Hattie had seen.
The maid looked at the man's back and said anxiously, "Lady Selena called yesterday and asked us to take good care of Miss Hattie. If anything happens, we must call her immediately..."
Leon's gaze fell on Selena's cold face on the big screen. He bit his cigarette and, after a moment, lowered his eyelids. "Call her after the press conference."
Hattie was already in this state. At this time, calling Selena would only make her lose her cool, with no benefit.
One person had already been hurt, and they couldn't afford another incident.
...
Creephia, in the hotel.
After listening to Clark's veiled threat, Selena's smile grew even colder. "If there is really any unexpected development, I will definitely find the person responsible and tear them to pieces!"
Selena finished speaking and looked at Leia without changing her expression.
Leia understood what she meant and turned to leave. She immediately called the Turner family and the villa separately.
Patrick and Leon personally answered the phone.
Both of them told Leia that nothing had happened in the capital.
If Selena had made the call herself and not heard Hattie's voice, she would have sensed that something was wrong.
But Leia, who had a simple mind and believed that Patrick and Leon wouldn't lie to Selena, didn't think much of it. She shook her head at Selena, indicating that no one had been hurt.
After confirming that everything was calm in the capital, Selena relaxed.
Leah looked at Selena's calm expression, gritted her teeth with hatred, and said into the microphone, "I have evidence to prove that 'Love in City' is mine, and Selena is the thief!"
Selena gave a cold smile, raised her chin, her beautiful eyes showing both arrogance and disdain.
It seemed that confronting Leah was a very low-level thing to do!
The media and audience at the scene all looked at Leah's self-righteous expression, showing disgust on their faces.
"I really can't understand how someone can be so shameless?"
"You have good grades, especially in humanities, and you loved reading since you were young. I remember you had a little notebook specifically for writing notes and ideas, which was your most precious possession that you always kept hidden from everyone.
"You told me that your life became a dark prison after your mother died. You wanted to escape, but no one was there to support you. That's why you created Phoebe, Amelia, and Sethy.
"Do you remember when I told you about this?"
"Of course, it was on your tenth birthday when you had a high fever. The Riddle family went on a trip, but I was the only one who visited you and gave you a birthday present. You told me what happened."
...
Everyone in the audience heard the voice from the recording device clearly. One voice was very familiar - Selena was sitting there. Although the other voice was not well-known, many people recognized it after a little thought.
"This voice... it's Georgia!"
"Yes! It's her. This is her conversation with Lady Selena. It turns out that Lady Selena had been thinking about Breaking Ground since she was ten years old..."
"I'm so heartbroken. Phoebe is really Lady Selena. The Riddle family is so cruel!"
Fans of Breaking Ground glared angrily at Leah after hearing the background of the show's creation. Hearing how oppressed and dark Selena's childhood was, the young girls who idolized Selena had sharp gazes like knives aimed at Leah.
"Leah, Selena had the framework for Breaking Ground when she was ten years old. What about you?! I don't believe you can boast that your love drama came out earlier than Breaking Ground!"
"If she really dares to say that, I can't help but want to tear her mouth off!"
"That's right. If she could write a script with so many kissing and intimate scenes at the age of ten..."
