Chapter 978 Jokes While Selena was sleeping, the Riddle family was in chaos. Penelope was in prison, Kaitlyn and Ache were both injured and ill, hospitalized, and even Daphne's beloved grandson had been harmed. She not only hated Selena's heartlessness, but also felt a chill down her spine.
Especially that night, the situation at the Riddle Corporation not only did not improve, but the losses became more severe.
Daphne, who was lying in bed unable to sleep, felt a stabbing pain in her heart when she heard Hunter say that Ache's condition had worsened and he almost couldn't be saved. She immediately sat up and called a bunch of people, and early in the morning, she led them to the small villa where Selena lived.
When the major families who were observing the situation heard this news, their spirits were shaken. The wealthy wives and daughters who liked to watch the quickly put on their makeup and rushed over in their cars. After all, whether it was the famous and noble Riddle family or the loyal Turner family, who among them was not high and mighty in their daily lives? The chance to see these two families become a joke was too rare, and naturally, no one wanted to miss it! When Leon received the news, he laughed so hard that he was almost angry. He was about to rush over to stop them, but suddenly remembered that Hattie was sleeping in the next room and stopped in his tracks. Perhaps it was because Daphne had been too smooth sailing for the past few decades that she couldn't even see the basic situation clearly until now. She actually thought she could threaten Selena with that little bit of blood relation. It was time for her to see reality! Leon turned around and walked back. His assistant was shocked, "Young Master, you know Miss Selena's methods. The one who will ultimately suffer and feel disgraced is surely the old lady. You..." If Daphne felt disgraced, it would mean that the entire Riddle family would feel disgraced! If he let this go, they would really become the laughingstock of the major families! Leon's expression was cold, "Is the Riddle family lacking in things to be ashamed of?" This was not a wise move to provoke Selena at this time. The assistant was speechless.

How could Daphne be so foolish to let things come to this? At this moment, outside the small villa, it had just become light. Daphne stood in the cold wind with a look of anger on her elderly face. Manny held her arm and softly advised, "Old lady, the wind is too strong. Your health is not good. Let's go back..." Daphne snorted, with a fierce look on her face. "So Selena wants me to apologize to her in person? I'll apologize to her, as long as she can handle my manners!" The wealthy ladies who were watching the show nearby, not afraid of causing trouble, heard Daphne's words and added fuel to the fire with laughter.
"Madam, please don't say that. Even if Miss Turner speaks out, she still has to call you grandmother. How can a grandmother apologize to her granddaughter?” "Mrs. He is right. If Miss Turner really dares to do this, it would be outrageous!" "In fact, Miss Turner is at fault in this matter. Madam, you only scolded her a little, but she dared to be willful and even attacked her own siblings, you, and the the Riddle's company. She is really ruthless..." Daphne was struck in the most painful part of her heart, staring at the black iron gate of the villa, and a few black airs surged in her eyes.
Almost everyone thought that if Daphne personally apologized, Selena, in order to preserve her reputation, would greet her with anger and panic. However, in fact, they had been waiting for ten minutes in the freezing cold wind, but there was still no movement from the iron gate on the other side.
Could they not have heard? It shouldn't be...
Daphne brought so many people and made a grand entrance. In this high-end villa area with advanced security systems, how could the people inside not see them? Could it be that Selena was too scared and pretended not to see? The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed, so the group continued to wait and watch.
They waited for several hours until everyone's face was almost frozen stiff.
It wasn't until dawn when a silver Rolls-Royce drove into the garden.
The group shivered and gritted their teeth, looking over.
The car door opened, and Patrick walked out, coldly glancing at Daphne before leading the way outside the gate.

In their view, Patrick was obviously called by Selena to support her under panic! They knew it, who wouldn't care about their reputation? Patrick had just arrived at the entrance when the large black wrought-iron gate, which had remained motionless, was opened from the inside by someone. The security guard came out and said, "Mr. Turner, Miss Turner is not awake yet. It may take a while. Please come in and have some hot tea while you wait." Patrick nodded and was about to enter when he heard Daphne's angry voice, "Let Selena come out!" Daphne was so angry that her body trembled, and her face was so ugly that it was hard to look at. "Selena caused Penelope's death, Ache's injury, Kaitlyn's misfortune, and the Riddle family's ruin... Does she want me to come and apologize to her? | came to apologize, so why don't you let her out?" "Let everyone see what kind of heartless and vicious daughter Nevaeh has given birth to..." She was so upset that she choked up at the end of her sentence.
Patrick sneered and stared at Daphne. "Daphne cares about the Riddle family's adopted daughter, illegitimate daughter, and illegitimate son. Have you ever asked how Miss Riddle is doing?" Daphne remembered the scene yesterday when Hattie followed Selena and targeted her, and her resentment grew stronger.
"She was bewitched by Selena. How could she remember me, her grandmother? Why didn't that unfilial daughter die outside like Selena?" Patrick turned his head and said to his assistant, "Tell Mr. Riddle what Daphne just said." The assistant called Leon and relayed Daphne's words verbatim. After a long silence, Leon's icy voice came through the phone.
The assistant turned on the speaker, and everyone heard Mr. Riddles cold voice, which they had never heard before.
"Grandma, perhaps your wish is about to come true soon..."
