The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance
Chapter 226 Return of the Heiress.
But Halbert was nowhere to be seen.
Eliza glanced around and asked, “Where’s Halbert?”
Christian stepped forward and grabbed her luggage for her. “He went back last night.”
“He didn’t want to leave with me?”
“No, he went back to take his punishment.”
Christian clicked his tongue.
Sometimes he truly wondered if his younger brother had a few screws loose.
Why pick a fight with his brothers for no reason?
Was he just asking to be smacked around?
“Come on, let’s rest in the lounge for a bit. There’ll be a private car to take us after that.”
“Alright.”
This was Eliza’s first time leaving Westbrook.
She had never been anywhere else before.
It was a first.

From the corner of his eye, Ronaldo glanced at Eliza. “The guy who dropped you off at the airport–was that Nolan?”
“Yeah.”
Eliza had no intention of hiding her relationship with Nolan.
Ronaldo’s brow furrowed deeply. “The Hayes family in Westbrook is full of complicated people. It’s safer for you to keep your distance from him.”
Hearing how seriously Ronaldo was treating her, like a true elder trying to lecture her, Eliza replied, “Just because I agreed to go overseas with you doesn’t mean you get to talk to me like a big brother. I never said I was accepting you people.”
When she was struggling the most, it was Nolan who stepped in.
The Sue family had been enjoying the good life overseas the whole time, completely ignoring the little sister who had suffered for eighteen years.
And now they wanted to play the big brother card?
Sorry, she wasn’t buying it.
Seeing her so resistant, Ronaldo simply pressed his lips together and said nothing more.
This little sister had an even tougher personality than he’d imagined.

Christian sighed helplessly from the side.
At first, he’d thought their sister would be sweet and gentle, totally obedient.
Clearly, he’d been way off.
The plane soon took off.
Eliza, flying for the first time, felt a bit uneasy.

Noticing this, Christian quickly asked the flight attendants to bring her an eye mask. He gently placed it over her eyes, then slipped headphones over her ears. “Now you’ll fall asleep in no time. Once you’re asleep, you won’t feel a thing.”
Ronaldo promptly kicked Christian in the rear. “Quit using your flirting tricks on our sister.”
Christian rubbed his sore butt. “I was just trying to help! It’s her first flight–of course she’d be uncomfortable. Why’d you kick me?!”
Ronaldo smacked him on the head. “Get back to your seat and shut up. If I hear one more word out of you, you’re walking.”
Not daring to provoke his brother any further, Christian slunk back to his seat, put on his own headphones, and listened to music.
That method clearly worked well.
Ronaldo just didn’t know how to appreciate it.
The moment the headphones went on, Eliza actually stopped feeling nervous.
It really was a useful trick.
By the time she woke up, they had already arrived overseas.
The air felt much like Westbrook’s, just colder.
Thankfully, Nolan had packed her warm clothes.
Once they landed, Eliza sent Nolan her itinerary.
He replied almost instantly with a simple: Got it.
Ever since he missed her last message, Nolan had kept his phone on him at all times–and set Eliza’s texts to max vibration.
That adjustment had clearly paid off.
“Mr. Ronaldo, the cars are ready,” a bodyguard reported.
The luggage was quickly loaded up.
A driver opened the door for Eliza to step in.
It was just a routine airport pickup, yet the Sue family had sent ten cars.
