Chapter 1479 The Only Chance
Inside the Riddle family's luxurious villa, Manny, who had just returned from the press conference, was
sitting on the sofa.
Two maids were helping her wipe the bloodstains off her face.
She held her phone and her face turned ghostly when she heard the news that Ache and Hattie had
died in a fire.
She didn't feel any heartache for Ache's death, only regret that she had sent them out and now couldn't
contact any of them. It meant that those people were probably gone.
Thinking about it made Manny tremble with pain. Those people had occupied at least half of her power.
One little bastard had caused her to lose her most important chess piece and half of her subordinates...
Manny closed her eyes darkly.
The only consolation was that Hattie had died and the evidence on her body could not be taken out. As
long as there was no evidence, Selena could not target her no matter how angry she was.
Manny was thinking about how to kill Selena and turn the tables, when suddenly someone stumbled
into the room.
"Something's wrong, Madam!"
"Miss Turner and a group of people have brazenly broken into the Riddle family, coming in strong!"
Manny's heart sank.
But in an instant, she smiled, raised her chin, and gracefully stroked her hair. She instructed the two
maids, "Hurry up, as the master of the Riddle family, how can we not personally greet our distinguished
guests?"
The two maids trembled and their movements sped up in an instant.
...
At the same time, Maddox and other members of the Riddle family rushed to the entrance and met
Selena who had broken in.
As soon as they saw the young woman in the white dress with black hair, everyone in the Riddle family
was stunned.
Nevaeh's daughter was well known throughout the capital, and everyone knew that this woman was
extraordinary. But at the moment they saw her face to face, they were still stunned.
They watched as the woman walked towards them with a flowing and elegant gait, her deep and
gorgeous eyes cold and black.
She was not just a beauty, but a noblewoman.
The dignity and atmosphere she exuded in her every move even made people momentarily ignore her
stunningly beautiful face.
The people of the Riddle family had intended to threaten and plead with Selena when they saw her, but
at the moment they looked into her eyes, they couldn't say a word.
They stared at her blankly, feeling a sense of intimidation that made them unable to meet her gaze.
Even Maddox, who had met Selena before, couldn't speak.
Someone behind them brought a chair, and Selena sat down gracefully, crossing her legs and propping
her head up with her delicate hands.
Despite her lazy posture, her imposing presence was not diminished, she was like a fierce tiger lying in
wait, capable of making all beasts retreat without even opening her eyes.
Furthermore, she was still looking at the Riddle family members with a cold and sharp gaze.
Her other hand lightly tapped the armrest of the chair. "You have ten minutes to leave the Riddle family
on your own, except for my mother and anyone unrelated to Hattie."
Her voice was calm and direct, and the meaning directed towards the Riddle family was unreserved.
The hearts of the Riddle family members sank.
An elder bravely spoke up, "Miss, you are still a daughter of the Riddle family, we have something to
say--"
The unfinished words were stuck in their throats when they met Selena's eyes. "This is your only
chance to stay alive."
Everyone's faces turned pale.
They only then realized that Selena not only had an air of nobility, but also a sense of killing intent.
Looking at the group of people behind her who made everyone's heart tremble with a single glance,
their hearts sank to the bottom.
No one thought Selena was joking, and no one doubted her ability to do it.
The Riddle family members immediately thought of the call Leon had just made to Issac--
Most of the peripheral family members and servants immediately walked towards the gate.
There were also many opportunists who wanted to leave with the crowd, but they were kicked back by
the people guarding the door.
A maid screamed, "I'm just a servant of the Riddle family and have nothing to do with them. Why can't I
leave?"
The person who stopped her looked at her with sharp and experienced eyes and said coldly, "Twenty
years ago, you and Kiera conspired to frame my lady's mother."
"Eight months ago, you targeted Hattie Miss in private to please the twins."
The maid was shocked and never expected the other party to know about these things.
In the end, only half of the people successfully left the Riddle family mansion.
The remaining half stood pale-faced beside Maddox, looking at Selena with fear in their eyes.
Selena had never visited the Riddle family before, but she was able to dig up every person within the
Riddle family who had targeted Nevaeh and Hattie for persecution.
Many of these things happened even twenty years ago.
As one of the four major families in the capital, the Riddle family's investigation could not be so clear
and transparent even for the Anderson family. With the hidden meaning behind it, everyone present
couldn't help but feel nervous.
Maddox stared at Selena tightly, and after a few seconds, suddenly kneeled in front of Selena in public,
"Daphne and I, and these people are all at your disposal!"
"Please... spare the Riddle family!"
Daphne, who was originally watching the chaotic scene of the Riddle family running away in surprise
and doubt, was stunned when she saw Maddox's actions. "Are you crazy?!"
"She is Nevaeh's daughter, our granddaughter. It is only right for us to teach her a lesson. How can you
kneel down to her?!"
"Selena, don't you fear divine retribution for disrespecting your elders?!"
The reason why she dared to complain and accuse Selena was because she relied on the fact that she NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
was Selena's grandmother. In Daphne's eyes, as long as there was a blood relationship, Selena would
never dare to seek revenge against them.
Just as Daphne finished speaking, Maddox slapped her in the face and sternly ordered, "Shut up!"
Daphne was slapped and fell to the ground. She raised her head angrily but met with pale and
frightened faces.
Daphne didn't know if it was because of fear or denial, but she shook her head and said, "You're crazy.
She's just an unrecognized granddaughter of our Riddle family. What right does she have to target the
Riddle family?"
"I am Nevaeh's mother. Without me, there would be no Nevaeh, let alone her. The grace of giving birth
is greater than heaven. How dare this little bastard..."
Another slap hit Daphne's face, and this time she was sent flying. Clementine drew her knife with a
fierce expression on her face, "Let's start with this old woman. I'll knock out her teeth, pull out her
tongue, and cut off her mouth..."
Daphne instantly turned pale with fear and didn't dare to speak about their blood relationship anymore.
