Chapter 123 You Really Didn’t Know?
That day.

Eliza had her eye on a neighborhood in the city center. It was a high–end residential area, and due to the flu outbreak, housing prices had dipped.
She directly purchased five units.
If she remembered correctly, in her previous life, a prestigious high school had opened a satellite campus nearby, turning this area into a school district zonę.
Many wealthy families chose to live there.
Even children of celebrities.
As a result, property values had doubled or even tripled.
Eliza planned to make an investment here. Plus, the location was excellent. Once the flu was over, she planned to live here herself.
While she was finalizing the real estate paperwork, she happened to run into Evelyn and Naomi at the same property office.
But it was clear they weren’t looking at the same neighborhood–what caught their attention was a different villa project under the same company.
Because they had lent money to the Holt family, Evelyn believed that the Holt family would recover within a year–maybe even sooner.
After all, the SAT was only a month away. Once Naomi finished the exam, she and Zayden could move into a new home together.
Evelyn had come to pick out a house.
“Mom, isn’t that my sister?”
Naomi’s comment made Evelyn glance over at Eliza.
In Eliza’s hand were five red booklets.
Each one was a property deed.
“Naomi?”
Evelyn frowned.
Wasn’t this girl supposed to be renting a place and working every day?
What was she doing at a city–center real estate office?
The moment Evelyn remembered how Eliza had called the police and gotten her reprimanded at the

station, fury surged inside her.
She stormed toward Eliza and, without a word, grabbed her arm.

“Well, well. You haven’t been home in days, and here you are! Let’s go! You’re coming home with me right now!”
Eliza hadn’t expected to run into Evelyn and Naomi in a place like this.
But thinking it over, it wasn’t that surprising.
After all, this company handled the most high–end’properties in all of Westbrook.
Zayden and Naomi were planning to get married after graduation. Even if they couldn’t legally register the marriage yet, they’d still need a new home afterward.
“What are you doing, ma’am? Let go right now!”
The nearby manager looked furious.
Eliza was one of their VIP clients!
They might not see someone buy five homes at once in a whole year—she was practically royalty to them!
There was no way they’d let anyone treat her like this.
“What am I doing? This is my daughter!”
Evelyn moved to drag Eliza away.
But Eliza simply shook her off with a cold face.
That shake was strong enough to send Evelyn sprawling to the floor.
She fell flat, completely disoriented.
“I don’t know you. Keep this up, and I’ll call the police again.”
Eliza’s tone was cold.
The manager quickly understood what was going on and placed his hands on his hips.
“Oh, so this is what we’re doing now? Coming in here to cause trouble? Get them out of here!”
The security guards at the entrance started moving toward Evelyn and Naomi.
Naomi’s face went pale as she pointed at Eliza.
“Sis! How can you treat Mom like this? She’s still your mother! How can you just stand there and watch her get dragged out?”
“Someone who spreads rumors about her own daughter doesn’t count as a mother.”

Eliza said coldly, “If you two keep pestering me, next time it won’t just be a police warning.”
She now had the power to go head–to–head with the Rivers family.
And just half a month ago, she’d officially turned eighteen.
She didn’t have to hold back anymore.
