An unprecedented panic suddenly struck Daphne. She covered her face and cried out in pain, "I didn't mean it, Ache and Kaitlyn..."
She never imagined that Kaitlyn and Ache were not children of the Riddle family.
The elders of the Riddle family glared at her with anger. "Because of a few illegitimate children, you have harmed all the legitimate daughters of our Riddle family and destroyed half of the Riddle family's foundation!"
"For such a foolish and malicious person, there's no need to wait for the ancestral shrine ceremony. I announce now that Daphne is expelled from the Riddle family!"
"From now on, she has nothing to do with the Riddle family!"
Daphne was stunned, and in a panic, she looked up and said, "No--"
As the mistress of the Riddle family for most of her life, once she was driven out of the Riddle family, not only would she feel disgraced, but she would also lose her livelihood.
However, what she faced were angry and disgusted faces.
the Riddle family members at this moment looked at her with eyes that wished they could torture her.
No one had any objections to this decision.
Daphne looked at Leon and cried, "Leon, I am your grandmother. I have loved you the most since you were a child. You cannot treat your grandmother like this..."
Leon walked coldly to Daphne's ear and whispered, "Aunt Nevaeh died, her daughter died too, Hattie may never come back again. Do you think you deserve the Riddle family's protection and forgiveness?"
Daphne looked bewildered, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Leon's words.
What does he mean... Ache's daughter died?
But Leon had no intention of explaining. After he said these words, he didn't even look at Daphne and turned around by himself.
Daphne wanted to explain, but the elders of the Riddle family had lost their patience. "Daphne, if it weren't for your bias and indulgence, how could the Riddle family lose three young ladies in a row?"
They didn't talk about Nevaeh's matter, as almost everyone in the Riddle family had agreed to give up on her at the beginning.
But Selena, if it weren't for Daphne and Maddox's concealment, they could have had a powerful and talented young lady.
Finally, they had Hattie, who had a good relationship with Selena and had hopes of repairing their relationship, but because of Daphne's malice and stupidity, they lost even Hattie, the bridge between them.
Now, the Riddle family has become a laughingstock, and Leon wants to break away from the Riddle family...
Thinking of this, the Riddle family members couldn't conceal their bone-chilling anger.
"Since you have harmed the blood of our Riddle family like this, what qualifications do you have to be the mistress of our Riddle family?!"
"What are you waiting for?! Drive her out now!"
The security guards of the Riddle family received orders and went forward to capture Daphne. Daphne had lived a luxurious life for most of her life and never thought that she would one day be publicly expelled from the Riddle family. She immediately burst into tears and cried out, "Stop! Have you all gone crazy?"
"Leon, are you just going to watch as they treat your own grandmother like this?" Unfortunately, no matter how she shouted and scolded, Leon remained unmoved.
In front of everyone, Daphne was humiliated and expelled from the Riddle family.
From this moment on, everyone in the capital would know that Daphne was no longer the mistress of the Riddle family.
However, when people remembered what she had done in the past, there were not many who could sympathize with her.
Manny watched as Daphne was driven away, and her heart sank.
"Even if I destroy the Riddle family, I will never leave it to you!"
Manny let out a scream of anger and unwillingness. Even if she used all her means and became the owner of the Riddle Corporation, what did she really have?
Leon would leave her with a broken and shattered Riddle Corporation that Selena could easily destroy with a push.
It was a far cry from the power and status that Nevaeh had obtained back then. Even with this Riddle Corporation, she could only have it for a short moment.
This was the result she had obtained at the cost of everything she had for over twenty years.
Manny's face twisted into a fierce expression, "You little bastard! You and your damned kind!"
Leon gave a chilly smile, adjusted his collar with his hand, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to walk towards the door.
the Riddle family members were horrified. "Leon!"
"Young master!"
Leon left the building of The Riddle's with the most elite members of the Riddle Corporation, without looking back at the building that had controlled several major industries and stood in the capital city for decades.
After leaving the building, Leon looked up towards the direction of the Turner family.
Half of the Riddle Corporation's power was his tribute to the Turner family for Nevaeh and Selena back then.
Although this tribute may not be worth mentioning in Selena's eyes today, it was still a partial payment for the Riddle family's sins.
The Riddle Corporation had suffered severe losses, Maddox regretted his past actions, and Daphne was expelled from the Riddle family. Would such punishments be enough to appease the sins hidden behind that doll?
