The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187 A Name Worth More Than Blood

Sensing the situation spiraling, the secretary quickly forced a smile. “Mr. Ronaldo, I truly wasn’t aware of any of this. I’ll be sure to report your request to Mr. Foster and have him visit you in person as soon as possible. After all, with someone like you visiting Westbrook, we should show proper respect.”

Ronaldo scoffed and rose from the couch. “Then I’ll be waiting for him to show up personally.”

His eyes swept over to Henry. “Kid, my sister thought of you as a friend, and you stabbed her in the back. Don’t go near her again. If I see you around her, I’ll beat the hell out of you. Every time.”

With that, he turned and left the Foster estate.

As the Sue family’s guards withdrew, the secretary’s face darkened. “Now you’ve seen it too. The Sue family isn’t someone we can afford to provoke. In times like these, we can only rely on Tyson.”

Henry clenched his fists.

To be honest, with his relationship with Nolan, it wasn’t impossible for Nolan to protect the Foster family once he gained full control. But his parents never trusted Nolan.

“I’ve already done everything you asked. From now on, stay out of my business.”

Henry headed for the door, but the secretary called after him. “You’re part of the Foster family. Born as one, die as one. Are you planning to betray your own family?”

Henry’s expression was icy. “I stopped wanting to be part of the Foster family a long time ago. I won’t betray my friends. And don’t use my father to threaten me. He’s him. I’m me.”

Without hesitation, he walked out.

The secretary narrowed his eyes and pulled out his phone to call Mr. Foster. “Sir, Mr. Henry is gone. Ronaldo paid us a visit. Should we arrange a meeting?”

Meanwhile-

Eliza caught a cab back to Claire University. Sure enough, Nolan was waiting for her at the school gate.

She stepped out, and his car pulled up in front of her.

“You got your answers?” he asked.

“Yeah.”

Just from Eliza’s expression, Nolan already knew the truth.

They’d gone over it last night and already sensed something was off. But neither of them had wanted to believe Henry was involved.

“Get in.”

“Alright.”

She climbed into the car.

Finished

Nolan had replied to her message while she was still riding with Henry. That’s when she realized–Nolan had never asked Henry to invite her over.

It had been a weak lie from the start. Henry hadn’t even tried to cover it up properly.

Which meant… he hadn’t intended to..

Eliza asked quietly, “So what now? We all live under the same roof. It’s not like we won’t see each other again.”

“You’re overthinking it,” Nolan said. “The campus is big. If you don’t want to see someone, you won’t.”

Henry, Colton, and Lewis had all grown up together. Nolan was a later addition to the group, but the four of them had always been close.

Nolan knew that now they were adults, things were no longer simple. Many choices were out of their control.

He just hadn’t expected that day to come so soon.

“Does it bother you?”

“No.”

Nolan’s voice was calm. “I’ve been ready for this for a long time.”

He had known about the Foster family siding with Tyson long before anyone else. It hadn’t been difficult

to uncover.

His people were digging up more every day.

“Don’t overthink it. In our world, real friendship doesn’t exist.”

He reached over and knocked her lightly on the head.

Eliza was quiet for a moment, then said nothing more.

The next morning-

A storm hit the school forums.
