The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 A Glimpse of Starlight

Eliza’s hair had been professionally styled.

Back in school, she’d always worn it in a simple ponytail–never had it treated, never bothered with anything fancy.

“You look amazing!”

“Seriously, Ms. Cassandra, that dress is stunning! You look like you just walked out of a fairytale.”

“Who knew you’d clean up so well? You’re right up there with the top debutantes!”

Surrounded by compliments, Eliza couldn’t help feeling a little shy.

It was her first time ever wearing something this formal. Naturally, she felt a little awkward.

“Um… it’s not too much, is it?”

“No way! You look gorgeous!”

In her past life, Eliza had never really dressed up. And this time around, being reborn right before the SATS, she hadn’t had the time to focus on her looks either.

Now, staring at her reflection, she felt like she was looking at a stranger.

Her figure was curvy and balanced, her features delicate. The subtle makeup and styled hair brought a fresh, playful charm–yet there was a hint of sophistication, too.

Yeah… she really did look pretty good.

She wondered, just for a moment, what Nolan would think if he saw her in this dress.

While she was lost in thought, Lily came rushing up the stairs. “It’s almost time! The driver’s already waiting

-come on!”

“Alright.”

Eliza nodded.

With everyone escorting her, she climbed into the car.

But just as the vehicle pulled out of the Sue family estate, it suddenly stalled..

“That’s weird,” the driver muttered and quickly got out to check.

The moment he realized the car had broken down, his expression turned pale.

It had been running just fine earlier that afternoon. How had it suddenly broken down in just a few hours?

The driver’s heart sank.

Now what?

It was rush hour–there was no way he could ask Ms. Cassandra to catch a cab.

And if Tristan found out, he’d definitely break his legs.

“Are there no other cars available?”

“I’ll have the garage check,” someone replied. “We had over thirty cars sent out today for our foreign guests.

I’m not sure if there’s one left that’s worthy of Miss Cassandra’s status.”

Just then, a sleek Maybach pulled up in front of them.

“Eliza, get in.”

The driver’s eyes lit up with relief at the sight of such a high–end car.

Crisis averted.

And sitting in the driver’s seat–none other than Nolan.

Eliza hadn’t expected him to arrive so soon.

“Okay.”

She agreed without hesitation and got in the car.

The moment Nolan sat beside her, she felt inexplicably at ease.

“When did you get here?”

“Just now,” he replied. “Luckily, I wasn’t too late.”

His flight had just landed. The moment he touched down, he’d headed straight for Crown Hotel.

And by some twist of fate, he’d spotted Eliza on the way.

Even from afar, he could see her–the flowing gown, the glow under the moonlight, like a goddess emerging from the waves.

“Eliza.”

“Yeah?”

Before she could say anything else, Nolan kissed her.

It was just a light brush of the lips, but her face turned bright red.

“Don’t let anyone steal you away tonight.”

His eyes were full of ernotion.

“Who’s going to steal me?”

“You already agreed to the arrangement overseas.”

“I only agreed to acknowledge them as my parents. I never said I’d stay overseas.”

Nolan reached out and tucked a strand of her hair behind her car. “Silly girl.
