Chapter 710 What makes you think you can? Leon's gaze was deep as he looked at Selena and smiled, "I just wanted to let you know that Hattie is awake and she wants to see you." Selena paused for a moment, then nodded at him, put away her phone, and turned to walk into the private room.
Watching her disappear, Leon chuckled lightly, "As vengeful as ever..." His assistant approached him and asked, "Sir, are we going to settle this here?" He glanced at the door behind him. After all, the scene that followed might not look good. If the two delicate Misses of the Riddle family were frightened, it would be troublesome.
Leon leaned against the door, his noble and elegant aura exuding, and glanced at his assistant with a cold look when he heard his words.
The assistant was confused, did he say something wrong? Leon's cold gaze swept over Leah and landed on Austin's face, "Did you get the answer?" Austin's face stiffened.
The assistant sneered at him, "He's quite a character, not only did he slander Madam's reputation, but he also wanted our Miss to accompany him for drinks..." A hint of chill flickered in Leon's eyes, and his voice was calm, "Who told you to come?" Austin's face turned extremely pale.
Although outsiders said that the young master of the Riddle family was a gentle and refined gentleman, he was not as cold and heartless as the young master of the Anderson family, nor as ruthless as the young master of the Poole family, who was notorious for being vicious.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut a man who could sit in that position, could he really be as amiable as he appeared on the surface? If he had known that Leon would show up here, he wouldn't have dared to provoke Hattie even if he had a hundred times more courage.
After weighing the options, Austin gritted his teeth and began to surrender, "Mr. Riddle, | was drunk and not in my right mind. | shouldn't have offended Miss Riddle. | am willing to apologize and make amends. Please forgive my rudeness and do not hold it against me..." The celebrities who had just bullied Hattie and Estrella with him turned pale.
Austin had used his family's influence to bully Hattie and Estrella earlier, but now the situation had turned against him in the blink of an eye.
He had becthe ant that was looked down upon.
The Riddle family from the capital was powerful and far beyond what the Gibson family could compare to.
Someone had once divided the situation in the capital, and if it were divided into four parts, the Riddle family alone would occupy one quarter, making people envious.
That's precisely why, after Hattie fell into disgrace, so many people wanted to bully and humiliate her. After all, what could be more satisfying for people consumed by jealousy than to see a proud and arrogant woman suffer under their feet? But of course, the prerequisite was that they had to make sure their victim would never rise again. And it was clear that Austin had lost the bet, and along with him, all those who had bullied Hattie had also met their downfall.
Leon casually lit a cigarette and sneered, "So slandering the reputation of Mrs. Riddle and Hattie was also due to drinking too much?" "No," Austin denied, cold sweat dropping from his forehead. Finally, he pointed to Leah and Hannah who were hiding on the side, "It was her! It was them who slandered Hattie, saying she was not a blood relative of the Riddle family and calling them bastards..." Leah's face turned pale upon hearing Austin's accusation, but she just sneered.
However, Hannah was filled with fear and regret, realizing something. Selena looked so much like Hattie, and even though Leon was a man, one could easily see the resemblance to the sisters in his features. How could they not be blood-related? They had all been misled by Leah and Austin’s words, and it was only when they realized their mistake that they thought Hattie was really a bastard and dared to bully her.
At this point, Hannah fiercely glared at Leah, wishing she could tear her apart, "You bitch! You've killed us all!" Hannah's thoughts were shared by everyone, and all the sharp accusations were thrown at Leah.
"Lady Selena said you were good at brainwashing, and you took advantage of us. We didn't plan to bully Hattie... " "Today's events were all because of Leah. She deliberately mentioned Estrella in front of Mr. Gibson, saying she had a close relationship with Lady Selena. That's why we forced Estrella to chere... " "We never intended to harm Hattie. After all, she was just a child. It was Leah who suggested that Estrella take her place.
Hannah was the one who hit her, but it was Leah who forced Hattie to watch. It's all this woman's fault!" "The reason why Hattie suddenly pounced on her and tore her apart was because she said something to Hattie first. This woman is best at doing this kind of thing, and | forgot about it... " Many things may not have been realized at the time, but they cannot withstand scrutiny afterwards.
No wonder Selena called them stupid. They were so foolish to be manipulated by a woman and dared to bully the daughter of the Riddle family from the capital.
Looking at Leah's eyes immediately, they were full of resentment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeah faced those eyes full of deep hatred, her face turned pale.
But her schemes and tactics were no match for a man like Leon.
Plus Leon's blood relationship with Selena, no matter what she said, the other party would not believe her.
Leah knew this fact clearly, so she just stood aside, holding her stomach and not saying anything in the face of those sharp criticisms.
The assistant looked at the group of people who were already rebelling before even starting to ask, shook his head, and looked at Leon, "Young Master, do you still want to ask?" In the past, there was no need to be involved in this kind of situation.
What should be banned should be banned, and what should go bankrupt should go bankrupt. It is the most direct and effective solution.
But there were obviously still people behind Austin and Leah, and it depended on whether Leon wanted to continue investigating.
Leon looked at Austin and said calmly, "There's no need. | don't want to see any property of the Gibson family in the capital in the future." In one sentence, the fate of the Gibson family's bankruptcy was sealed.
Austin's face changed drastically, and he suddenly raised his head, "Leon, what makes you..." Leon looked down at him, his gaze cold, and smiled. His voice was still calm and elegant, "What do you mean by what makes me...?" Austin's face suddenly stiffened, and then his face turned completely gray and defeated.
Just like how he had previously arrogantly bullied Hattie and Estrella with his power, the person in front of him was the young master of the Riddle family from the capital. Did he need a reason to not want to see the Gibson family? No need.
Besides, he had already bullied Leon's sister first.
