The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 Caught Off Guard

Before Henry could even say anything, Eliza had already headed toward the cafeteria.

Seeing this, Henry froze.

Just now, the staff at the entrance had mentioned that the cafeteria sign had been blown down by the wind, and the new one hadn’t been put up yet.

So how did Eliza know where the cafeteria was?

“What are you standing around for? Let’s go,” Eliza called over her shoulder.

Snapping out of it, Henry replied, “Oh–oh, right.”

Henry and Nolan followed behind her.

Staring at Eliza’s back, Henry couldn’t help but start thinking.

He stepped forward a bit and asked, “Elizze, have you been to this school before?”

“Nope. Aren’t we all here for the first time?”

Eliza answered casually.

Henry said, “Then how did you know the cafeteria was this way?”

That one question made Eliza stop in her tracks.

This wasn’t her first time at this school.

In her past life, she’d also taken her exams here.

After all, this was the largest high school in all of Westbrook, with a campus layout comparable to a university.

Which was exactly why it had been hard to find the cafeteria the first time.

But Eliza still remembered its general location.

Seeing Henry’s eyes on her, Eliza said quickly, “I just saw everyone else heading this way. They’re probably all going to the cafeteria, right? I mean, if we’re too late, there might not be any food left.”

A complete lie.

Henry may have seemed like the brawns–over–brains type among the four of them, but after spending enough time together-

Eliza knew very well that he wasn’t thoughtless. He just chose not to say everything he noticed.

His powers of observation were no worse than Nolan’s.

From behind, Nolan said calmly, “Let’s go.”

Even though Henry was still suspicious, he didn’t show it.

Honestly, he’d started having doubts back when Eliza had told him to stock up on medication.

But Eliza was their friend, and sometimes he just didn’t want to doubt her.

As long as she never did anything to hurt them, none of it really mattered.

“Elizze, how long have you been living with Nolan?” Henry asked.

“Over two months now.”

Eliza hadn’t expected that either–two whole months living under the same roof with Nolan.

And not a single argument.

“You…”

Henry looked at her, hesitating for a moment, but in the end, didn’t say anything.

“What is it?”

Eliza looked puzzled. “If there’s something you want to ask, just ask.”

“Nolan, does he… like-”

“Henry! Didn’t we agree to meet downstairs? What are you doing rushing off like that?!”

Colton and Lewis had finally caught up to them.

Henry had been too distracted by the whole cafeteria thing and totally forgot Colton and Lewis were supposed to meet them under the teaching building.

“I–I forgot!”

“You’ve got some nerve,” Colton said, scowling.

Lewis leaned over and whispered to Henry, “Ignore him. Colton bombed the test. He’s in a bad mood.”

Henry gave Colton a once–over, then nodded seriously. “Yeah, I figured.”

“Where’s Nolan?” Colton asked. He hadn’t seen him for a while.

In just a few minutes, the guy had disappeared without a trace.

“He went to grab lunchboxes. What, you thought he was standing around like you doing nothing?”

The SAT exam had drawn students from all over the city. There was no way the cafeteria could seat them all.

Most students had to grab their food and return to their classrooms.

There was still one more exam in the afternoon. No time to waste–students needed that lunch hour to

review.
