The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Selena's words gave Kenton a sense of comfort. Even though Selena wasn't a child of the Langley family by blood, the ruthlessness and twisted streak she carried-those were just like him.

Then, Selena shifted the topic. "Great-Uncle Kenton, where's Charlene? I want to meet her."

"She's at a hotel near the hospital. I've got someone watching her."

"Great-Uncle Kenton, take me there. Let my parents stay here and keep an eye on things."

"Alright," Kenton agreed without hesitation. "But Selena, your parents had better not do anything reckless. Yvette can't die just yet."

"Of course, we're not going to kill her now," Diana said coldly. "Killing her now would be letting her off too easily. We have our own plans for her. Whatever we do, Uncle Kenton, you'll know about it."

Selena chimed in at this moment. "Yeah! Don't worry, Great-Uncle Kenton. My parents listen to me, and I listen to you. In Dithoria, the Holden family and the Walker family are keeping an eye on things. Those two families are too righteous. Who knows? They might even pity that old hag and let her off the hook!

"We're different. We're vicious." Selena smiled darkly. "But this viciousness-she's the one who caused it. Isn't she always blaming others? Well then, I'm blaming my entire fate on her now. Seems pretty fair, doesn't it?"

Kenton nodded. "Yes, you're right. And you're not blaming her baselessly—it's simply the truth. If not for her, you wouldn't have been sold off, Natalie and Emma wouldn't have been swapped, the Walker family wouldn't have gone after your parents for mistreating Natalie, and they wouldn't have retaliated against you all.

"Emma would never have had the chance to harm Sophia, the eldest daughter of the Sinclair family. You would've grown up healthy and happy, loved and cared for by your real parents. There's also no way you would've endured so much suffering or developed such a skewed outlook on life.

"All of this is the old hag, Yvette's fault."

Selena nodded. "Exactly. That's just how it is."

"Alright, then. I'll take you to see Charlene, and your parents will keep an eye on Yvette here."

Selena nodded obediently. "Okay, Great-Uncle Kenton."

Kenton led Selena out of the hospital room. As he did, Victor and Diana exchanged a glance.

On their way to Dithoria, the three of them had already discussed it. Yvette was the root of everything that had happened; they had been separated for so many years, and Selena suffered painful experiences while being sold again and again. The Langleys simply couldn't leave things as they were.

Even though they had decided to stay away from all of this and live a peaceful life, the anger in their hearts just wouldn't go away. This was especially true when they thought of all the other girls Selena had met during those years girls who had also been abducted and trafficked. It pained them to no end.
