Chapter 1096 You're Back She had been anxiously waiting outside the whole time.
When Leon walked out, Daphne hurriedly greeted him, "Leon, how is Hattie?" Leon looked at the worried old lady.
If it weren't for the two deceased lives of Nevaeh and Selena, no one would probably believe that she could do such a cruel thing, judging from Daphne's expression right now.
Daphne's heart trembled as she felt Leon's gaze on her, and she asked in a trembling voice, "How is Hattie? Leon, please tell me!" Leon lowered his eyes, "Grandma, what are you doing all of this for..." Daphne's heart tightened, "What do you mean, Leon? What are you talking about?" Leon's tone was icy, "Aunt Nevaeh is your own daughter. You lost her when she was young, and when you finally found her, shouldn't you compensate and love her doubly?" "But what have you and grandpa done?!" Daphne asked.
"For the sake of Kiera, you ignored and hurt her, abandoned her, and even caused her death. And for Kiera's daughter, you and grandpa could be so heartless to ignore her for so many years..." If the Riddle family had paid a little more attention to Selena over the years, how could that poor girl have suffered so much during her life? And how could she have died so young? The blood drained from Daphne's face in an instant, and even her lips trembled.

"You knew that Aunt Nevaeh's death was related to Uncle, so why did you treat Hattie so cruelly?" "Aunt Nevaeh and Selena didn't grow up by your side, and you didn't like them... but Hattie is the one you watched grow up, how could you bear to drive her crazy?" "She's only thirteen years old..." Leon took a deep breath.
Perhaps he was too angry, but this aristocratic young man didn't even care about his manners.
"What have Kiera and Penelope, those two bitches, done to deserve you and grandpa sacrificing all the Riddle family's daughters for their success and wealth?" The last question was like a cold knife that pierced straight into Daphne's weakest point.
Daphne staggered back two steps. If it weren't for the servants of the Riddle family who caught her in time, she would have fallen to the ground directly.
She widened her old and cloudy eyes, trembling all over as she looked at Leon, seemingly unable to believe that her beloved grandson would coldly interrogate her like this one day.
Daphne was struck at the heart and erupted in response, "What can | do?! | love them both equally, but Kiera is the child | raised from scratch! Nevaeh..." At the mention of Nevaeh, Daphne instantly broke down in tears, "I also want to make it up to Nevaeh, but she and Kiera don't get along, and even for the sake of one Callum, they are like water and fire!" "Kiera has liked Callum since she was young, and she has been willing to do anything for him for over a decade! For the first twenty years of her life, she dreamed of marrying him." "But ever since Nevaeh returned to the Riddle family, Callum never looked at her again, and he was even cruel enough to destroy Kiera!" "When Kiera went crazy, she texted Callum, hoping that he would cto see her, but he didn't even satisfy this little request..." "Kiera was heartbroken and committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the bathroom. If | hadn't found her in time, she would have really died in there." "If it weren't for Callum and Nevaeh being so ruthless, how could Kiera have been driven to a dead end? How could she have died?!" Daphne didn't notice the increasingly cold look in Leon's eyes and continued to shout, "As for Hattie, do you think | want to harm my own granddaughter?" "But Hunter is my son, what am | supposed to do? | can't send Hattie to a juvenile detention center. Do | have to watch her report to the police, blow things out of proportion, and send her father to jail?" Daphne cried out in pain, "I never thought that Hattie would develop a mental illness inside..." Leon looked at the old lady who was heartbroken and in pain. Even at this moment, there wasn't a single sentence in her explanation about Selena.
Leon remembered the girl that Nevaeh had left behind and suddenly felt a wave of sadness and exhaustion.
Leon suddenly restrained all his emotions. He no longer tried to reason with Daphne, hoping that she would realize her mistake.
He should have realized earlier that if Lady Nevaeh's death couldn't evoke any remorse from Daphne, then no amount of talking would be of any use.
Daphne will never feel like she's in the wrong when it comes to Kiera and Nevaeh.
Leon turns around and leaves.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaphne watches Leon's departure and panics in her heart, "Leon!" Leon doesn't say anything else and gets into his car and leaves.
Daphne panics even more and grabs the arm of a servant beside her.
She trembles her lips and says, "What does Leon mean? He hasn't toldhow Hattie is..." Standing behind her, the Riddle family's servants couldn't help but show a hint of condemnation and disdain in their eyes upon hearing this.
She had just admitted with her own mouth that she had given up on Miss Hattie. Who would tell her about Miss Hattie's condition? To be so heartless to her daughter and granddaughter for the sake of two outsiders, she is truly a strange person! ...
Four hours later, Callum drove and brought Selena back to the villa.
The servants hurriedly greeted her, "Madam Selena!" Selena already knew everything that had happened at the villa on the way there, but she didn't ask anything and went straight upstairs to Hattie's room.
Selena looked at the child lying in bed and cover to gently hold her in her arms.
Hattie felt the familiar breath, opened her eyes, and forced a smile, "Selena, you're back..." Selena looked at the lifeless look in the child's eyes and said gently, "The doctor said that you woke up on your own this time..." Hattie's eyelashes trembled, she leaned on Selena's shoulder, her voice weak and almost inaudible, "Selena, I'm just too tired. I'll be fine when | wake up..." Selena gently patted her shoulder, "I believes that You will wake up soon. Go to sleep, | will always be with you..." Hattie rubbed against her shoulder, closed her eyes, and her white face looked like a lifeless doll. Selena turned her head and looked at the sun outside the window. Her black eyes gradually becgloomy.
