Be spoiled after rebirth novel Chapter 1405

Chapter 1405 Questioning!

Selena looked at Hattie's terrified face, and softly asked, "What are you afraid of, Hattie?"

Hattie's eyes were confused. "Selena, I didn't mean to... "

Selena looked at her gently. "I know it's not your fault."

she trembled in her arms. "I just wanted to avenge my mother. I never meant to harm that child..."

The teenage girl returned home from school to find her mother's lifeless body and was met with her wicked stepmother taunting her with the truth of her father's affair and her mother's death. In extreme sadness and anger, the girl pushed the woman down the stairs and accidentally killed a five-month-old baby.

That scene of blood became a nightmare that haunted she every night.

Then, in hysteria, she was sent to a juvenile detention center by her own grandparents who had loved her since she was a child, and was forced into a mental illness...

Selena's eyes glinted with cold light as she gently patted Hattie's shoulder. "It wasn't your fault that the child died, it was that woman's fault."

"She wickedly killed her own child and framed you, Hattie."

"You only wanted to avenge your mother, and you did nothing wrong."

"It's all that woman's fault, everything is her fault!"

Under Selena's gentle comfort, Hattie gradually stopped trembling.

...

Leon had just gotten out of the car and he received a call from his assistant, informing him that Selena and Hattie had been arrested again.

Leon was amused by the news.

But he didn't turn around and leave immediately, instead, he strode towards the Riddle family's gate.

Erica had probably heard the news as well, and was waiting at the gate on purpose. She approached Leon and straightened his collar. "I'll go see Hattie, be careful."

Although Erica had retired for many years, she still had connections.

She was the most suitable person to visit Hattie.

Leon patted his mother's shoulder as she walked away.

After Erica left, he lit a cigarette and smoked it before entering the place where Daphne lived.

Ever since Penelope was arrested, the old lady had been bedridden for the most part.

Kaitlyn had been by her side all along.

The servants reported that the young master had returned, and the old lady's face, which had been gloomy for many days, lit up with joy.

"Quickly, let the young master in."

Leon and Hattie haven't visited her for a long time.

Daphne felt upset and wanted to talk to Leon about the recent conflict within the Riddle family.

Kaitlyn, who was with her, saw the joy on Daphne's face and felt a hint of dissatisfaction.

Although she had been the one taking care of Daphne since she fell ill, Daphne was still concerned about her grandson, Leon.

Despite her anger, Kaitlyn continued to act obediently with a smile on her face. She greeted Leon and called him "brother" when he arrived.

When Leon heard her voice, his cold gaze fell upon Kaitlyn's face. She was startled by his look because Leon had never liked her due to her relationship with Hattie.

"Let bygones be bygones..."

"Don't let those bad things affect the relationship between you brothers."

Leon looked at the well-meaning Daphne and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "If you want me to give up something, Grandma, you might as well make it clear."

Daphne was taken aback by the question and perhaps knew she was in the wrong. She moved her lips, but didn't say anything.

"The position of the Riddle family's young master, the position of the Riddle family's head, and the entire Riddle Corporation... all given to him, is that enough?!"

Daphne's expression suddenly changed. "Leon, that's not what I meant..."

"Uncle wants to help him take away what belongs to me, and you ask me to compromise and give way openly... if it's not giving away these things, then what is it?"

Daphne was speechless under the questioning.

Leon's tone was full of sarcasm. "Giving things away isn't enough. It would be even better if both Hattie and I were dead. Then there would be no one left, and Uncle's family could take everything from the Riddle family... right?!"

Daphne hurriedly said, "Leon! What nonsense are you talking about? I would never think like that!"

"Is that really not what you're thinking?" Leon looked at Daphne with dark eyes. "If you didn't have such thoughts, then why did you cause Nevaeh to die for Kiera all those years ago?!"

Daphne's face suddenly changed. "Leon, what are you talking about? Nevaeh died of an illness!"

Leon's eyes were cold and mocking. "You know better than anyone else how Nevaeh died!"

"In your mind, all the children of the Riddle family are not as important as Kiera, whom you raised, and Penelope."

"For those two women, you were willing to sacrifice your granddaughter, granddaughters, and even your grandson..."
