Chapter 19
Leah’s face changed, crystal tears shining in her eyes, her face pale, “Talon, I don’t understand what
you mean.”
Talon gave her a cold and sneering look, “It doesn’t matter that you don’t understand, we have eyes
that will see for themselves.”
Leah raised her head stiffly and saw that the surveillance on the screen was magnified, the angle was
extremely tricky, and it was framed exactly at the scene where she raised her hand to grab Selena’s
neck.
The grim expression on her face was clearly visible to everyone in the room.
“I really thought Leah was soft and kind, this sinister look in her eyes creeped me out even through the
screen.”
“I can’t believe she’s faking it, she’s really no good like her mother.”
Leah felt a strange line of sight fall on her spine, her face pale, her lips almost bitten as she shook her
head.
“No, I didn’t, I was just trying to go and pull Selena in, she hit my hand and I accidentally just almost
touched her neck.”
Molly was chided by Mrs. Walson, and there was a heavy resentment in her eyes, “What do you mean?
It’s obvious that you are deliberately distorting the facts and wrongly accusing my daughter!”
Talon’s face remained unchanged, “Then we can slow it down and play it in front of everyone’
Molly was angry, but never had the guts to actually ask them to slow down the replay.
She did not know the reason why Leah attacked Selena’s neck, she just wanted to move the topic
away from the surveillance and immediately questioned coldly, “There is no reason for my daughter to
strangle Selena’s neck. It’s not like she has a treasure on her neck-”
Leah’s shoulders trembled slightly, her hands clenched into fists, her head bowed as if she had been
greatly aggrieved, tears falling down, when she heard Molly’s words, she said in a panic, “Mom, don’t
say anything-”
Unfortunately, she was a step too slow, Selena’s soft laughter cut off Molly’s words before she could,
“Who said I don’t have a treasure around my neck?”
Her words instantly drew the eyes of everyone in the room to her neck.
The crowd was first stunned, followed by countless shouts of surprise that rang out from the scene.
Only a diamond necklace was seen on Selena’s neck.
Sapphire was glittering, beautiful as the stars in the sky.
Selena pinched the diamond on the fingertips, a pleasant voice clear into the ears of everyone on the
scene, “On my neck, it is something she wants but is not entitled to, she is not capable of snatching it
away, so naturally she can only destroy it.”
Everyone’s eyes were fixed dead on the diamond in Selena’s hand, and a strong sense of shock and This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
amazement emerged in their eyes.
“This is…”
“The green diamond that was bought for half a billion at the auction house?!”
When Dominic saw the green diamond, his eyes widened and his body tensed up for a moment.
He certainly remembered the diamond.
Originally, it was Leah’s fancy and he offered 50 million to buy it for her as a gift, but it was bought by a
man who came out of nowhere with 500
million.
But now this diamond, which he could not afford to buy, has appeared on Selena.
Dominic stared at Selena, clenching his fists, a touch more gloomy and vaguely unhappiness under his
eyes.
An icy smile unfolded on Selena’s stunning face, “Leah wanted to destroy my diamond, I hit her with
my hands, what’s wrong with that?”
The crowd at the venue stared at the diamond with eyes of envy, jealousy, amazement or deep
thought.
If the truth was really as Selena said, it was naturally not wrong for her to hit Leah.
Leah shook her head desperately, tears rolling down her pale cheeks, and explained, “No, I didn’t.”
Unfortunately, the video on the surveillance was there, and in contrast to her grim and resentful
expression on that, the verbal explanation at the moment seemed otherwise-pale and feeble.
When Mrs Walson heard that someone had spent 500 million on a diamond for Selena, she was
shocked and a wave of panic hit her heart. There are few people in Creephia who can afford to pay 500
million for a diamond.
Even if there was a character like that, it is unlikely that he would spend half a billion just to please a
woman.
In particular, Selena has completely ruined her reputation.
Therefore, he could only be coveting something more important in her.
Selena had been thrown out of the Riddle family with nothing but the twenty percent of shares in her
that was worth such a large sum of money!
In this way, even Selena’s sudden coldness towards Dominic had a logical explanation.
Between a man who is willing to spend 500 million on a diamond for her, and a scumbag who turns his
back on her and keeps hurting her, any woman knows what to choose!
Mrs. Walson’s heart was racing, and her desire to win back Selena became more determined and
imminent at this moment.
She swept a grim glance at Dominic, turned her head to look at Selena, her eyes full of pity, and said in
a soft voice, “Selena, I know you’ve been aggrieved, I will tell them to apologize to you. Dominic, why
don’t you get over here and apologize to Selena?!”
Dominic stiffened and looked at Selena with a grim expression, feeling from the bottom of his heart that
there was no way Selena would really let him apologize to her.
The previous Selena had never dared to even have a serious word in front of him, and would do
anything to get a look from him.
How could such a woman, who loved him with all her heart and soul, be angry with him, but how could
she really be cruel enough to humiliate him in public?
Selena’s fingers placed the diamond down and stared at Mrs. Walson’s hand pulling her skirt, a
coldness rippling across her face.
“Mrs. Walson, even though you are an elder, but as I said, my time is precious, let go!”
Mrs. Walson stared deadly at Dominic, her body shaking with anger.
She was about to lash out, but she was interrupted by a loud slap.
Dominic looked at his father with a grim and angry face in front of him with wide eyes, unable to believe
that he had actually received another beating from his father.
“Dad-”
His father stared at him sharply. “Don’t you think you’re embarrassed enough? Today is your
grandfather’s birthday, there are so many guests at the scene, what have you done?!”
Dominic was drenched in cold sweat, and when he looked up, he really saw Cyril standing there on top
of the high platform, looking at him with a gloomy face.
Dominic met those powerful and deep eyes and gave a jolt, his face becoming somber.
Cyril gave him a faint glance, then his eyes landed on Selena, “Selena, for the sake of my birthday,
don’t make a fuss, okay?”
