The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150 Loyalty Tested

Just as Eliza was nervously about to answer the phone, Henry’s voice came through the line.

“Elizze, did Claire University get in touch with you? The rest of us already got our notices.”

Hearing Henry’s voice, the knot in Eliza’s chest finally eased.

She let out a breath. “Yeah, I got it.”

“I knew you could do it.”

Henry laughed over the phone. “School starts in two months. Want to go on a trip before then?”

“A trip?”

“My family has a private beach. Let’s all go.”

“I…..”

“Nolan and the others are coming too. It’s a rare chance to relax. Don’t worry about money–I’ve got it

covered.”

Henry was enthusiastic, and Eliza didn’t feel like turning him down. After all, out of the whole class, Henry had treated her the best.

“Okay, I’ll pack up.”

“No need. I’m coming up to help you pack. We’re already outside your place.”

“That fast?”

Eliza blinked in surprise.

Knock knock-

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

When Eliza opened it, she saw four people standing at her doorstep.

So they’d already planned this? Why even bother calling her? They might as well have just walked in.

As Henry helped Eliza pack her bag, he said, “Didn’t think our Elizze really had it in her–getting into Claire University and all.”

Eliza’s eyes

flicked toward Nolan, who was sitting calmly on the couch. She cleared her throat and asked, “When you guys came up, you didn’t run into anyone… unusual?”

“Unusual? Like who?” Henry looked puzzled. “Your building’s really quiet. We didn’t see a single soul downstairs.”

So they hadn’t run into Tyson.

Chapter 150 Loyalty Tested

Colton was toying with a teacup. “What I want to know is how you got into Claire University.”

Finished

He looked at Eliza, his gaze turning cold. “I remember Claire University runs a full background check on every applicant. It’s not the kind of school that takes just anyone. How did you make it in?”

Henry and Lewis both turned to look at Eliza.

Getting into Claire University required a background check–that was an open secret.

Everyone in Westbrook knew that Claire University wasn’t a place you could just get into with good test scores or the right connections.

And sure, Eliza’s SAT score was excellent, but that alone wasn’t enough.

Unless she passed the background check–or had some other angle.

“When we drove into the complex earlier, I saw a Hayes family car.”

Colton stepped closer to Eliza, his voice turning sharp. “Did you cut some kind of deal with Tyson?”

“Colton!”

Henry’s face darkened and he stepped between them. “Don’t you think that’s a little out of line?”

“I don’t see any other explanation,” Colton snapped. “Because of you guys, I’ve treated her like a friend. But if she betrayed us…”

Bang!

Nolan slammed his hand down on the table, his voice like ice.

“Colton, that’s way too far.”

“I’m only looking out for you. Otherwise, how do you explain how she got into Claire University?” Colton argued. “She had no money, no background, then suddenly she’s got a big apartment and a Claire University offer. And right before she gets in, Tyson shows up at her door? None of you find that suspicious?”

“Elizze got this place because-‘

Before Henry could finish, Eliza spoke up.

“Tyson did come by earlier. He wanted me to work with him. He didn’t explain the details because I turned him down.”

Colton sneered. “And you expect us to believe that? What if you already sold us out?”

Henry’s face turned even darker. “Colton, you’re seriously crossing a line.”

“I’m not asking you to believe me,” Eliza said calmly. “I just do what I choose to do. If you don’t believe me, then we just won’t keep in touch.”
