After they both had their fill of food, Selina turned to Matthew and said, "Matthew, I want to find all the people who attacked me in the mall." She had an icy glint in her eyes.
She would not allow just any Tom, Dick or Harry to insult her so easily.
"I've already found them, so what do you plan to do?" Matthew asked.
Selina thought for a moment. "Help me run a background check on each of them. Once you find anything, immediately let the media know. Let them get a taste of their own medicine," she finally decided.
"All right," Matthew agreed.
"And also bring me that woman who threw eggs at me," she added.
"All right," he answered.
Fifteen minutes later, a woman in her forties was brought to Selina.
She was so scared that she immediately fell to her knees.
She'd only dared to throw eggs at Selina because it had been a crowded area. When she looked back at that day, she really regretted her rash and foolish actions.
She wiped the tears that streamed down her face. "Miss Whitlock, what I did was wrong. I don't know what came over me when I threw those eggs. Please forgive me, I beg you, please. I won't ever do this again next time," she begged.
Selina's eyes were cold when she glanced at that woman, "What makes you think there will be a next time?"
The woman's heart immediately sank.
She knew that Selina was not planning to let her off easily, hence she put on a pitiful act.
"Miss Whitlock, my husband just divorced me last month for another younger woman, and I was in a really bad mood because of this. Miss Whitlock, please have some compassion for me," she sobbed.
Selina gave a cold laugh. "Since your husband found another younger woman, why didn't you get back at him or that woman? Why did you throw eggs at me? Was I the one who made your husband find that woman?" she sneered.
Her voice turned colder as she spoke, "Did you really think that you could actually get away with this? Prepare to use the rest of your life to pay for your actions."
The woman's face paled.
"Miss Whitlock, I'm begging you, please don't do this to me! Do you know why I bought those eggs that day? It's all for my child who became weak and fragile ever since my husband's affair. Please think of my child. If you really locked me up, this would destroy him," her cries resonated throughout the villa.
Selina felt her breath catching.
She took a glance at Matthew.
She thought that Matthew would dissuade her, but he simply stated, "Selina, I'll support whatever decision you make."
Selina finally made up her mind.
This was the first time someone dared to throw eggs at her, so she was not willing to forgive this woman.
However, when she thought about the woman's child, her heart softened.
After a long time, she finally said, "Matthew, take her away. Let the bodyguards throw the same amount of eggs she threw at me and then let her go."
The woman was filled with gratitude and relief. "Miss Whitlock, thank you, thank you so much," she sobbed.
"Shut your mouth!" Selina snapped.
The woman immediately fell silent.
After she was taken away, there was only one important person left to deal with.
Rainee Yeager.
Selina's face had turned cold.
She had been trying to be considerate about Rainee's condition and had done her best to avoid her, yet Rainee had managed to find her and even caused her to be besieged.
She swore that if she let Rainee off easy again, she wouldn't call herself a Whitlock anymore.
"Matthew, there is still one person left," Selina said to Matthew.
"I understand," Matthew's voice lowered, "I wanted to bring her here long ago, but I was worried about you. Now that you're well, I'll bring her here myself."
If they sent the bodyguards to bring her here, the Yeager family would probably refuse.
Selina was silent for a moment. "What if Matheo pleads with you?" she asked.
Matthew seemed to have already made his decision. "Selina, you're more important than anything else," he told her.
Matthew personally went to the Yeager family
