No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 963

Vanessa's face twisted with rage.

How dare Eleanor tear down her carefully constructed facade?

The humiliation was unbearable, fueling her fury. "Eleanor, what absolute rubbish are you spewing?" she retorted, her voice dripping with venomous sweetness. "My concern for the Goodwins is completely genuine—"

"Genuinely?" Eleanor cut her off, the mockery in her voice intensifying. "If Ian hadn't given you those shares in Yeaton Holdings, would you have agreed to this trial? You demand an exorbitant price first and talk about sincerity later. Don't you find that laughable?"

The accusation, sharp and undeniable, finally broke Vanessa's composure. Already on edge, she shot to her feet, pointing a trembling finger at Eleanor. "What do you know? I was the one who fell in love with him first! Why did you have to steal him from me? And you have the nerve to lecture me? I gave ten years of my youth and my health! That payment is what I deserve! Ian owes me! The entire Goodwin family owes me! Without me, his mother would have died long ago. His sister and your daughter will depend on my blood to live. I'm just taking what's mine. What's wrong with that?"

She was panting, her chest heaving. "You got eighty billion in your divorce, and what about me? I can save three lives in his family. What's three billion to Ian? If you ask me, I asked for too little!"

Just then, the door was thrown open. A pale-faced Serena stood in the doorway, her eyes wide with shock, disappointment, and fury. She stared at Vanessa, her voice trembling. "Is… is what you're saying true? You're the sole donor my brother was talking about? All this time, you were only with him for his money?"

Vanessa's face went white. She looked in horror from Serena to Eleanor, realizing with a jolt that Eleanor had known Serena was there all along. Had she deliberately provoked her into saying all those things?

"Serena—you—listen to me, it's not what it looks like! Eleanor was baiting me, I—" Vanessa stammered, panicking.
