The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105 A Good Daughter Knows the Price

It wasn’t for any particular reason.

It was just that… it had been a long time since anyone had cared about her like this.

Eliza forced a light tone. “It wasn’t that bad. I just didn’t get enough to eat.”

She was still growing, and with the demands of high school–more classes, more physical activity–she needed to eat more than she had in middle school.

But Evelyn always said girls should stay slim, told her to learn from Naomi.

That’s why she never got enough food in the Rivers household.

And Naomi liked different foods than she’did.

But Evelyn only ever made Naomi’s favorites.

Thinking back on those days, Eliza gave a bitter smile.

I must’ve had a masochistic streak to put up with all of that, just for a tiny scrap of affection from my parents.

She didn’t notice the look Nolan gave her. She just continued on her own, “I’ve said it so many times- you’re sick. Let me do the cooking from now on. Though I have to admit, your food’s pretty good.”

Eliza genuinely wasn’t just being polite.

Nolan’s cooking was seriously impressive.

She’d been a housewife in the Holt family for years and still hadn’t made anything as tasty as what Nolan

could cook.

Nolan replied blandly, “I’m sick, not disabled.”

“There’s a difference?”

“A big one.”

Eliza suddenly recalled how, in her past life, Zayden had gotten sick once–couldn’t lift a thing, and she had to wait on him hand and foot.

Turns out, there really was a difference between being sick and being useless.

I was just stupid back then, letting Zayden treat me like a maid.

“Achoo!”

While sipping her soup, Eliza suddenly sneezed without warning.

Nolan’s expression instantly darkened.

He put down his fork immediately and reached out to touch her forehead.

Eliza looked up, their eyes meeting.

+8 Pearls

When his hand touched her forehead and he confirmed her temperature was normal, Nolan finally let out a breath. “You’re fine.”

“I… my nose was just irritated. That sneeze doesn’t mean I have a cold.”

Eliza felt strangely nervous.

The moment Nolan touched her, she’d gone stiff. ‘

“I’m done eating.”

Nolan began clearing the table. Maybe to put some space between them, he left with the dishes and returned straight to his room.

Eliza placed his medicine and water outside his door and went back to her own room.

After a long, busy day, she was completely exhausted.

By early the next morning-

Eliza’s phone had already received a message from Evelyn.

The eight million had been transferred to her account.

Seeing the confirmation, Eliza arched an eyebrow.

Mother’s really in a rush, huh.

Evelyn had also sent follow–ups urging her to ship the goods quickly. Eliza didn’t drag her feet.

Eliza: I’ll have everything shipped over today.

Evelyn was thrilled with her reply.

Without bothering to eat, Eliza headed straight to the warehouse.

When the staff saw the size of the order, they were stunned.

“This many? All of it’s going out today?”

“Yes. Deliver everything to this address.”

Eliza handed the address to the driver.

The driver took a drag off his cigarette and glanced at the order–two thousand cases.

“Alright. I’ll round up the guys to load it up.”

“Good.”

The team started hauling boxes onto the truck.

It took nearly an hour to load all two thousand cases.

Once the truck pulled away, Eliza smiled faintly.

Good mother.

You better hold on to those two thousand cases. Sell what you can while you still can.
