Chapter 14
When Cyril was mentioned, Dominic's face finally took on more gravity.
Although Cyril is old, the Walson family was built by him, and when he was young, he was a great figure in the shopping mall, and he was in sole charge of power.
The Walson family has many children and grandchildren, and the heir has not yet been decided.
The last time he ruined his marriage with the Riddle family in public, it was Selena who did such a scandalous thing in the first place, put on any man, it would be impossible to accept, so Cyril only turned a blind eye to him disgracing the Walson family so much.
If he dares to make any more scandals at Cyril's birthday banquet and ruin his reputation, he will definitely make Cyril dislike him.
Dominic took a deep breath and said to Mrs. Walson, "Mom, Selena asked me to clarify in public that it was Leah who seduced me and slandered her in the first place before she would marry with me."
Mrs. Walson's eyes were extremely cold, "So, you're telling me that you're going to choose to give up twenty percent of the Riddle family's shares for the sake of Leah's reputation?"
Dominic wrinkled his eyebrows, suppressing the irritation inside him. Damn Selena, to mention such an annoying condition to him!
"Selena has been driven out by the Riddle family, except for that twenty percent of shares, the rest will definitely be Leah's in the future."
Mrs. Walson grunted coldly.
In the final analysis, Dominic's heart is still biased towards Leah and he can't let that woman suffer the slightest bit.
She gathered the shawl around her shoulders, looked at the luxurious and elegant banquet main hall downstairs, and sneered, "If you can coax Selena to get married with you, you can compensate Leah any way you want."
Selena's kind and timid nature has almost taken root in the hearts of these two, and as long as Dominic gives her sweetness, she will forget everything before and is eager to give him her whole heart.
When Dominic thought of Selena's cold gaze, he always felt that something was not quite right.
But on second thought, before the marriage was ruined, Selena's obsession with him raised more than boredom inside his heart.
How can a person's nature really change?
In the final analysis, it was just another ploy to get his attention.
During the interval when the two were talking upstairs, the Riddle family arrived in full costume.
Leah was dressed in a snow-white strapless dress, clear and delicate, slim and graceful, moving to the extreme.
The moment she arrived, she attracted many awestruck and envious eyes.
With a smile in her eyes, she looked at ease as she started conversation with the many powerful people. It seemed that she noticed Dominic's gaze and she raised her head, smiling softly at him.
Dominic looked at her innocent smile, and at the thought of Selena's condition of wanting to maliciously hurt her, there was more than disgust in his eyes.
Although what happened at the beginning, strictly speaking, was indeed Leah's fault in the first place, but it's not like Leah did it on purpose.
Selena wants to ruin her reputation when she herself is shameless, it's vicious!
"This is the Riddle family's eldest lady, right? What a good-looking girl!"
"Born into wealth, beautiful and talented, I heard she even won third place in an international perfume competition."
"Amazing!"
Leah's eyes showed pride as she lifted her chin.
The words of admiration and praise from all around her greatly satisfied her overwhelming vanity.
She enjoyed the complimentary or jealous, smiling slightly and feeling nothing but exhilaration.
For the past ten years or so, she has been rejected and despised by these high society celebrities and daughters because of her status as an illegitimate daughter.
But today she stands here, star-studded, in the limelight, much envied, signalling to all that she is the only daughter of the Riddle family.
As for Selena, she has instead become a notorious and disgusting object of everyone's scorn.
And just as the most Leah was getting complacent, there was a sudden burst of exclamation from the doorway, drawing everyone to turn their heads and look over.
All of them have been speculating in their minds which big shot has arrived.
Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, a woman slowly appeared in front of people.
It was a very young woman, with a smile on her lips, a warm look on her face, in a long blue dress that reflected her smooth complexion, long, slightly curly hair that covered her back.
Elegant, regal and full of style.
At first glance, almost everyone was choked by the sense of awe that greeted them.
At the moment of her appearance, the lively and noisy scene seemed to have all the air taken out of it.
Everyone's eyes went straight to the flawless woman.
It was only then that a succession of subtle voices rang out after a long time.
"Who is she?"
"She’s so beautiful."
"There is actually such an imposing and flamboyant woman in the city."
Leah stood at the entrance of the hall, caught off guard when she saw Selena walk in, and the smile on her face froze.
For the past ten years or so, she had been dedicated to robbing Selena, so she spotted the two green diamonds on her neck and forehead at almost the first moment.
The diamond that was bought by a mysterious man for half a billion!
Shock, jealousy and resentment flickered from Leah's eyes, eventually turning thick and gloomy.
She felt the shock caused by Selena's beauty and watched as each and every man who was complimenting her on her good looks just a moment ago, all their attention was now glued to Selena and they could no longer see a single bit of her.
Leah's jealous heart was aching.
Did Selena think she could erase her notorious past by revealing her face?
Leah hooked her lips and walked over with a step, taking the lead in breaking the silence with an affectionate smile on her face, "Selena, you're here."
She walked closer, but lowered her voice and stared at Selena with a look so calm that it was creepy, asking in a low voice, "Selena, how did this diamond come to be in your possession?"
Selena raised her eyes and looked at this woman who was soft and beautiful on the outside but a snake scorpion on the inside.
Leah has been like this since she was a child, but whatever Selena likes, she will steal it by all means, even if she has to pay any price for it.
She observed Leah's jealous expression and felt that this gift was not a bad one to receive from Osvaldo.
Selena smiled faintly, her fingers pinching the diamond and playing with it, "Is it pretty? Are you jealous? How does it feel to have something you love and now wear it on me?"
Her eyes were more than mocking, "I thought how much Dominic loved you, knowing that you liked it, he didn't even fight for you."
Leah clenched her fist, she stared at Selena, with a smile on her face, her eyes seemed to leap out with countless poisonous snakes, twisting Selena all over her body.
