The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 208

The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance

Chapter 208 The Chaos and the Cover–Up

A while back, Eliza had opened an online store that exploded in popularity. Riding the wave of that momentum, she quickly launched a chain of physical stores to build her brand.

But she hadn’t expected someone to stir up trouble so soon.

“Has the manager handled it?” she asked.

“He’s trying, but the woman isn’t cooperating. She’s still in the store, and now a crowd’s gathered.”

“Which store?”

“The one on Main Street downtown.”

“Got it. I’m on my way.”

Eliza hung up.

She didn’t even care how she looked–just grabbed her keys and drove straight to the mall.

Downtown’s Main Street was bustling. Crowds were gathering near the first floor of the mall.

Her store, MISS, specialized in makeup and beauty products.

A crowd had swarmed around its entrance.

Inside, a woman dressed in a white dress, exuding elegance and wealth, was sitting in the store, refusing to leave.

She looked to be in her forties. Even through her aging features, it was clear she had once been beautiful.

Beside her, a young man crouched on the floor, trying to soothe her. “Mom, please don’t cry. Let’s just go, okay?”

He wore a black windbreaker, a cap, and a face mask.

Eliza frowned. “Why haven’t you cleared the crowd? Bring her into the VIP room.”

“Ma’am, we tried. But this lady just won’t cooperate.”

The manager leaned over and whispered, “Ma’am… she’s not well. Mentally, I mean…”

At that, Eliza turned sharply and gave him a cold stare.

The look made the manager shrink back instantly.

“You’re saying the customer has mental problems? Sounds to me like you’re the one with the problem.”

Her tone turned icy. “Who promoted you? Bring that person to me.”

The moment she got angry, everyone around her fell silent.

The manager didn’t even dare to breathe.

The young man on the ground seemed to hear what she said. He turned and looked at her.

Eliza stepped forward and crouched in front of the woman whose face was streaked with tears and smudged makeup.

“Miss, your makeup’s all smudged.”

Finished

“It is?” The woman instantly grabbed Eliza’s hand in a panic. “Quick, I need to freshen up. I have to get ready!”

“Of course. Let me help you fix it.”

Eliza gently helped the woman to her feet.

The young man seemed surprised at how quickly his mother calmed down.

Eliza smiled and said, “Your skin is so smooth. You must take really good care of it?”

“Oh yes, Yushi loves when I put on makeup. He says I look especially pretty when I do.”

The woman touched her cheek shyly, almost like a young girl.

Though she was clearly in her forties, her mind seemed frozen in her twenties.

Eliza led her inside with care.

She patiently removed her makeup and cleaned her face.

Beside them, the man quietly said, “I’m sorry for the trouble my mother caused.”

His voice was low, but Eliza recognized him instantly.

It was the same man who had shown up shouting outside Nolan’s house that night.

“No trouble at all. Patients need extra patience.”

Eliza brought out a full spread of cosmetics and let the woman pick whatever she liked.

The woman cheerfully began applying powder and makeup like she’d done it a thousand times.

Eliza thought things had finally settled down.

But then another commotion broke out outside the store.

“Soren! Soren!”

Soren?

The name rang a bell–one she recognized immediately.

Wasn’t that… the red–hot celebrity Soren?
