The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 250

Chapter 250 The Snake Returns

By the time she reached the last page, Eliza held the phone out to Halbert. “So? You showed me all this, but none of it explains why Naomi is back at Claire University.”

The report had detailed the Rivers family’s situation over the past few days, but Naomi had barely appeared in it.

“No idea,” Halbert said. “That’s why I said–I don’t know her.”

Eliza quietly forwarded the document to her own phone.

Lately, she hadn’t had the time to deal with the Rivers family. In her mind, they’d already received the harshest punishment possible. They shouldn’t have had the strength to stir up more trouble.

“Let’s just see for ourselves,” she said. “Naomi’s in our class, anyway.”

“I’m not interested.”

Despite his words, Halbert followed her inside.

Inside the classroom, Naomi sat in the front row. But she looked very different from before.

Her style had changed–gone was the innocent schoolgirl. She now wore mature, adult–style clothing, her previously long, straight black hair now curled into waves. Her face was perfectly made up. She carried an expensive handbag, and jewelry gleamed from her neck and wrists.

The current Rivers family had no means to afford any of this.

The classroom atmosphere was tense.

Everyone seemed to want to ask where Naomi was getting her money–but her cold, distant aura kept them at bay.

As soon as Eliza entered, their eyes met.

There was something in Naomi’s gaze Eliza had never seen before.

She used to act fragile and pitiful, but now–now there was nothing but cold, seething hatred. It clung to her like a shroud.

In the past, Naomi would’ve wasted no time mocking her.

But now, after just a second of eye contact, Naomi looked away as if Eliza didn’t even matter.

“If you don’t want her in your class, Halbert said quietly, “I’ll have the principal move her. Even expulsion’s an option.”

Eliza sat calmly in a seat near the edge. “Ask the principal how she got back in here in the first place.”

“If it’s possible, transfer her. If not–expel her.”

“I thought you’d say to just let it go.”

“I’m no saint. She bullied me for eighteen years. You think I’m going to be the bigger person now?”

She had no intention of playing nice.

Halbert didn’t waste time. He signaled one of his bodyguards to call the principal.

Given their family’s position, the principal answered immediately and greeted them with exaggerated politeness. “Mr. Halbert, is there something I can help you and Ms. Cassandra with?”

When Tristan enrolled Eliza at Claire University, he’d also donated fifty million and over ten thousand books to the school–singlehandedly fulfilling half of their annual funding goals.

Halbert’s question was simple: “When did someone show up in our class who shouldn’t be there?”

The principal understood immediately.

He knew exactly who Halbert was referring to.

He hesitated. “That… Naomi was placed there by someone higher up. I can’t say who. But if you and Ms.. Cassandra aren’t happy with her presence, I can have her removed from the class immediately.”

“Do it. Now.”

“Yes, yes–I’ll send the dean to take care of it right away.”

After hanging up, the principal turned to the dean of students. “Move Naomi out of that class. Keep her away from Mr. Halbert and Ms. Cassandra.”

“But sir… the order said she had to return to her original class…”
