Chapter 970 Justice! But what kind of hatred could make Selena defy the laws of nature and morality and want to see Daphne die without peace of mind? Selena had promised her before that she wouldn't lay a hand on Daphne.
Unless...
Leon's sharp gaze fixed on the crying Daphne as he suddenly asked, "Grandma, how did Aunt Nevaeh die?" Daphne's body suddenly stiffened, something flashed through her eyes in an instant as she cried out, "Nevaeh died of illness, that's what Selena told me..." Leon caught the strange moment in Daphne's eyes and his heart suddenly chilled.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe stared at the old woman before him as if meeting his grandmother for the first time.
Under his gaze, Daphne moved her eyes away and inexplicably felt like trembling. "Why do you ask about these things from the past? What you should be thinking about now is how to save Penelope..." "The Riddle family won't lift a finger to save Penelope!" Leon's tone was icy. "She deserves to die!" Before Daphne could protest and cry, Leon waved his hand and the driver forcibly took Daphne onto the car, leaving the Turner family.
Leon took a deep breath and looked up at the Turner family gate. He instructed his assistant, "Call Hattie's therapist." Then, he too left in his car.
Inside the Turner family gate, Patrick stood in the shadows, coldly watching the Riddle family leave. He said in a cold voice, "Contact Uncle Fu and the others... | want the Riddle family to hold Daphne down and personally apologize to Selena!" "Yes!" Daphne was forcibly taken back to the Riddle family by Leon. She had never been treated like this before, and she felt both wronged and resentful. As soon as she entered the door, she found her two sons and cried and scolded them frantically.
Kaitlyn turned pale when she heard Daphne say that Selena wanted to have her killed.
Hunter was furious and turned to angrily say, "Big brother, is this the son you raised? He's helping those disobedient and unfilial children, treating his own grandmother like this?" Issac frowned and stared at Daphne. "So, mother, you went to the Turner family's gate and insulted and beat up the Turner family's daughter for the sake of Penelope?" Daphne was taken aback and seemed to have just remembered that Selena had such an identity. Her eyes went blank and she said angrily, "If she had not been disrespectful to me, how could | have been provoked to hit her? | just wanted her to let Penelope go...
besides, | didn't even hit her..." Issac's face darkened as he stared at Daphne, feeling for the first tthat his own mother was unreasonable. Hunter angrily said, "Issac, is what you're saying even human language? Filial piety comes first, and Selena is a younger generation who was just scolded by her grandmother. How is that a big deal? You're as ungrateful as your disobedient son. Both of you are like ungrateful wretches who can't be raised properly!" Issac glanced at Hunter and sneered, "Since my younger brother is so filial, he must be happy to help our mother and bear the retaliation from the Anderson family and the Turner family." Hunter's expression changed, "Retaliation just because their grandmother scolded them? That's unfilial and rebellious!" Issac chuckled mockingly and turned to leave, "It's a pity that when facing that unfilial and rebellious wretch, the Riddle family can only rely on their blood ties to curse and swear at them..." Erica looked at her husband walking away and glanced coldly at Manny, who stood behind Hunter with his head bowed, before following Issac out.
Daphne watched her eldest son leave, filled with rage, "A bunch of ungrateful children!" Hunter hurriedly comforted his mother, "Mother, don't worry. Your son will definitely teach those two disrespectful brats a lesson..." "Is that so?" Hunter's words were cut off by a furious laughter coming from outside the door. They all looked up and saw Lady Lauren rudely pushing aside a servant, leading a group of high society ladies into the Riddle family estate.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Hunter's gaze swept over the group of gloomy-faced socialites behind her, his expression changed slightly. He greeted her politely, "Lady Lauren, Melissa, Savannah, what brings you here to visit the Riddle family today..." "I heard that Daphne used her seniority to openly enter the Turner family's gate and humiliate and beat up my Anderson family daughter-in-law," Lady Lauren interrupted with a smile, but there was no humor in her eyes. "Daphne is an elder after all, it wouldn't look good for her to meetface-to-face, so | cto the Riddle family personally to ask, Daphne, what right and ability do you have to lay your hands on someone from my Anderson family?" Daphne's face turned pale, and she opened her mouth to retort but couldn't find the words.
Although she didn't actually hit Selena, the fact remains that she laid hands on her. As an elder, Lady Lauren's public questioning left her with no way to save face, and she kept a calm expression without saying a word.
Hunter angrily said, "Selena is my mother's granddaughter. My mother just said a few words to her, but you all cover here making a big fuss. It's really overreacting!" Lady Lauren's smile grew wider on her face, "You don't have to defend the Riddle family. Selena has never acknowledged having any relatives from your family." "She was neither raised nor nurtured by you, where does the Riddle family get the nerve to claim they are Selena's relatives?" Ignoring Daphne's unpleasant expression, Lady Lauren continued, "Daphne, | already told you last tthat the Riddle family doesn't need Selena, the Anderson family and the Turner family do." "You treat Selena like grass, but we treasure her like a gem. You clearly know that Selena is a priceless treasure to the Turner family and the Anderson family, but you still dare to treat her like this. Are you representing the Riddle family by openly provoking the Turner family and the Anderson family?" Daphne's face suddenly changed.
Even Hunter's face turned pale in an instant. The Riddle family couldn't afford to confront both the Anderson family and the Turner family at the stime. While the Riddle family held wealth, the Anderson family and the Turner family held power. Once the Turner family and the Anderson family teamed up, they could easily becan obstacle for the Riddle family... The Riddle family's losses would be incalculable.
Melissa looked at Daphne with disgust, "How could a girl as kind and strong as Nevaeh have a mother like you?" Savannah sneered, "Haven't Nevaeh's affairs served as a warning to you? You can't reason with Daphne, the best way is to make her suffer as well!" Daphne was so angry that a group of younger relatives were causing trouble on her own turf, and was about to slam the table and throw a tantrum when a Riddle family servant rushed in hurriedly.
"Madam, it's not good! Miss Penelope has been beaten by a group of prisoners in the prison! It's said that she is seriously injured and has fallen into a coma..." Daphne felt blank in her mind.
