Adeline couldn't bear to listen to Leah's pretentious explanations and pushed her hard.
She raised her hand to hit Angie but Dominic grabbed her wrist.
Adeline laughed in anger, "Listen up, as long as I'm here, the Walson family will never be able to raise your heads in M City!" Dominic's expression changed drastically.
M City is the Watts family's territory, and Adeline doesn't even bother to hide her intentions towards Ghost.
Angie's shameless actions not only angered Adeline but also completely offended the Perfume Association.
Adeline kicked Angie in the stomach unexpectedly, making her expression even more twisted. "Selena is the bitch who caused this! It's her fault!" Seeing that even at this point, they still shamelessly blamed Selena and showed no remorse or guilt, their eyes filled with disgust.
The surveillance footage clearly showed that Selena never came back since she left, instead, Leia came back first with a bag of medicine.
When Leia arrived at the door, she seemed to sense that something was wrong and listened closely to the door, her expression then became cold.
But just as she was about to kick the door, Leah arrived with Dominic.
Selena never appeared throughout the whole incident.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo wonder Selena was angry.
She went out for a while, only to come back to her room in such a horrible state, almost getting disqualified from the competition and ruining her reputation. Anyone in her shoes would be angry.
"It serves her right!" "She brought it upon herself!" "| think she and Beatrix are a perfect match. One is a scoundrel, and the other is a malicious whore. No one has the right to despise the other!" As Angie heard the insults, a great sense of grievance appeared on her face. She cried out, "Selena caused this to happen to me. That man wanted to ravage her, not me. If it weren't for her, | wouldn't have encountered all of this. It's all her fault..." Dominic's forehead veins bulged. Unable to bear it any longer, he raised his hand and gave her a hard slap, saying, "Shut up!" If it weren't for her evil intentions, trying to seduce Ghost, how could she have been mistakenly dragged into the room by that piece of trash on the ground? If it weren't for her ignorance, and after the incident was exposed, she still insisted on blaming Selena, Selena wouldn't have gone to find the surveillance footage. How could they offend the Watts family and the Perfume Association? Beatrix had already beaten Angie half to death, and this slap from Dominic was merciless, almost causing her to lose consciousness due to the pain.
Angie glared at Dominic with bitter resentment, shaking all over. She felt wronged and angry, saying, "You hit me again for that slut...” As Dominic looked at her unrecognizable face, his heart trembled, feeling some reluctance.
Angie hysterically accused, "You're my brother, you should protect me. Selena is a jinx, no one likes her, she deserves to be alone and bullied by me underfoot!" "She caused me harm, and you not only didn't help me seek revenge, but you hit me instead for her sake... I'll tell Dad and Mom..." "I don't have a brother like you. Get out of here! Right now!" Hearing such a distorted moral perspective, everyone's faces twisted in disgust.
Ghost's gaze turned cold in an instant.
Patrick's eyes also turned bone-chilling.
Selena's tired look faded, and she raised her eyelids.
Leah, however, felt quite pleased.
From childhood, Selena's greatest misfortune was that no one in her family liked her. These words were like a deathblow to her.
Dominic could almost feel that, after Angie finished these words, the temperature of the entire space seemed to have been sucked away in an instant.
Several cold glances fell in this direction, and Dominic felt a dense chill run down his spine.
Unfortunately, Angie had not yet sensed the danger that was approaching and continued to curse.
"I just bullied her, so what? She deserves it! No one likes her. She's just naturally inferior, and being bullied, trampled on, and killed are all her own fault..." A sharp, angry shout cut her off.
Before Dominic could react, Angie in his arms suddenly disappeared.
He hurriedly looked up, and the next second, the color drained from his face.
Everyone in the corridor was taken aback.
Leah's eyes filled with fear, and she staggered back a few steps.
Patrick, who had just stepped forward, stopped in his tracks, and the next second, he closed his eyes as if suppressing some uncomfortable emotion and then retreated as if nothing had happened.
Selena was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows slightly.
No one saw how fast Ghost's movements were. The man who was standing next to Selena a second ago was suddenly on the other side in the next second.
The slender and cold hand choked Angie's neck and slammed her heavily against the wall.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAngie's eyes bulged, her face turned purple, and her legs flailed in the air. Her fragile throat made a crunching sound under the man's hand.
Without a doubt, if the man exerted more force, Angie's head would fall off her neck immediately.
Ghost's low, bone-chilling voice asked, "Do you want to die?" Angie met those cold and eerie eyes up close. The thick, viscous darkness paralyzed her.
Looking into her eyes was like looking at a pile of corpses and rotting flesh.
An endless fear flooded Angie's heart. She cried and screamed, her face twisted as she struggled and begged for mercy.
The man lowered his long eyelashes, concealing the murderous intent in his eyes. After a few seconds, he loosened his grip, and Angie fell heavily to the ground.
Ghost took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped his slender fingers, and coldly dropped two words, "Apologize!" Angie lay on the ground, her face pale, trembling uncontrollably. She was no longer arrogant and malicious. Looking at Selena, she stammered, "I'm... I'm sorry..." Selena curved her red lips, and her eyes became lethargic again. "Enough of the , get lost!" she said.
As soon as she spoke, she instantly dispelled the suffocating tension in the air.
The onlookers looked at Ghost, then at Selena, their eyes filled with suspicion.
Ghost actually protected Selena so blatantly, not allowing anyone to say a bad word about her... Do they really not have a special relationship? Adeline’s heart ached with jealousy, but she had just witnessed how terrifying Ghost could be. Even though she was furious, she no longer dared to pick a fight with Selena.
Patrick coughed and looked at Selena. "If Lady Selena, you don't mind, you can stay at my place tonight. I'll go find someone to arrange it." Selena had not yet spoken when Ghost's voice interrupted him.
He glanced at Patrick but spoke to Selena, his lips curved with a teasing smile. "The two rooms on the rooftop have the same layout. I'll be generous and give you both bedrooms..."
