The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 84

“It's the lady beside me. Miss Hailey Dalton, Suzanne said. Her voice was light, yet it caused everyone's

expressions to change.

Selena jumped up from her seat, her face filled with panic. Upstairs, Jeanie looked shocked. “How dare she do

this?” she exclaimed.

Alice remained relatively composed, but her beautiful face darkened with anger. At that moment, Alice's phone

buzzed. It was a message from her bodyguard: [They were rescued.

‘Useless trash! Alice cursed deep down, then stood up and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go Jeanie did not

understand why but hurriedly followed Alice out.

The commotion downstairs continued. The media frantically snapped pictures, not willing to miss a single shot.

Selena struggled to maintain her composure but could not help but look toward upstairs.

She knew Jeanie and Alice were up there and hoped they would cdown to help her. However, she realized no

one was upstairs when looking up, not even a shadow.

Selena bit her lip. I can only rely on myself now. Today, this author's identity has to be mine! Otherwise, my

entire life will be ruined, she thought.

Steadying herself, Selena took Leon’s microphone and looked at Suzanne with a determined eye expression.

“Suzanne, | never expected you to betray me,” she said.

Suzanne looked at her and narrowed her eyes. Selena looked heartbroken and asked, “How much did my sister

pay you to distort the truth like this?” Suzanne glanced at Hailey and neither of them spoke, simply watching

Selena put on her performance.

Selena took a deep breath and lowered her head in sadness. Her acting skills were undeniably good. Tears welled

up in her eyes, and she looked as if on the verge of tearing but struggling to stay strong. It was a truly moving

sight.

Selena turned to Hailey and said, “Hailey, you've always hated me, but | don’t know what I've done wrong to

deserve it. Why do you hateso much? Why would you go as far as stealing my identity? Thrilling Suspense is

my hard work, my creation; how could you do this?”

She sobbed as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Hailey, if you hate me, | can accept it. But if you did this just

because of your hatred for me, | can’t tolerate it,” she said.

Hailey had remained indifferent from the beginning. She was as though unaffected. Just as Selena finished her

performance, Hailey responded calmly, “Who's the culprit in the first case of Thrilling Suspense?”

Selena was stunned and asked, “What?” Hailey repeated the question. Selena had read “Thrilling Suspense”

before, but her memory was not great. She hesitated for several seconds before stammering out a name, “It's

Riley.”

Hailey raised her eyebrows, a little surprised that Selena knew the answer. Then she asked. “When did the

female lead, Luna, get together with the male lead?”

This was an important plot point, but it occurred near the end of the story. Since “Thrilling Suspense primarily

focused on the mystery genre, the romance developed at a slower pace.

Selena was immediately stuck. A genuine fan in the crowd eagerly answered, “It was after resolving the fifth

case. That was when they finally opened up, and Luna realized how much Jonathan meant to her. That's when

they got together.”

Selena quickly tried to cover up. “Yes, | just forgot for a moment.”

Hailey raised her eyebrows and continued, “Where was the first book signing event for ‘River held? How many

books were signed, and how many people attended?”

Suzanne casually muttered by the side, “Wasn't the first signing event at the city center library in Harbor City?

There were a couple of thousands of people there”

Selena immediately replied loudly, “It was at the city center library in Harbor City, and several thousand people

attended”

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd erupted in laughter. A young girl with twin ponytails, a devoted fan

of Selena. and an absolute “Thrilling Suspense fanatic, suddenly becfurious.

She threw her glowing “Love Selena Forever” sign onto the ground and shouted, “You liar! “River” has never held

a book signing event! She's never attended any public events All signed books were sent to her hby the

publisher, signed there, and then mailed back!”

Selena was completely dumbfounded. Her eyelashes trembled, and panic spread across her. She had been set

up.

Hailey remained calm when she said. “There was never a book signing event. There were only 200 copies for the

first batch of signed books and 400 copies for the second. Later, to round it up, another 400 were signed, making

it 1,000 personally signed books.

“But after that, “River” found it too troublesand never signed again. During the Thrilling Suspense

serialization, “River occasionally updated X with small interactions of the main characters as fan activities.

However, after completing the book, she stopped updating X. until recently.

“The latest post on X was the New Year's greeting from the male and female leads. The caption read ‘Luna and

Doggie wish everyone a Happy New Year’ Doggie refers to the male lead, Jonathan because when he first met

the female lead, the proud and dignified Jonathan fell flat on his face in front of her. She laughed and gave him

the nickn‘Doggie’ and it stuck with him ever since.”

Hailey spoke slowly, calmly, and in a composed manner. She was just like Luna in “Thrilling Suspense, analytical

and unshaken when resolving a case.

The room was silent for several seconds. Then, suddenly, someone screamed, “She’s the real author, “River!”

“I just met the real ‘River’

“River, | love you! Please take a picture with me!”

The media, the fans, everyone went crazy. The scene turned into utter chaos. Fortunately, the police were

present quickly restored order.

Selena’s face was ashen, her lips drained of color. At this point, there was nothing unclear. The truth was obvious

to

everyone.

and

Hailey looked at Selena, tilting her head slightly. Her beautiful, delicate face showed sadness and hurt. “Selena,

you always say that I'm targeting you. But who's really doing that? You know the truth in your heart. | don’t want

to say anything further. We're sisters, after all, | just hope you live a little happier.”

“Who doesn’t know how to act innocent? Hailey thought.

After saying that, Hailey set the microphone aside and stepped off the stage. Suzanne followed closely behind.

Leon's face turned pale. He was stuck and was helpless, not knowing what to do. He wished he could disappear

on the spot.

Selena’s eyes were fiery with anger. She clenched her fists tightly, so angry that she wanted to pounce on Hailey

and tear her

apart

However, Hailey had already returned to Owen'’s side. Owen adjusted her slightly askew scarf, took her hand,

and led her away.

The police stopped Selena and said, “Miss Dalton, please cwith us.” Along with her, Leon, the two editors,

and Wayne were all taken away by the police.
