The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30 Grace Sets the Record Straight

What was going on today? The teacher stood frozen for a second, stunned by Grace’s sharp tone.

+8 Pearls

Sure, Zayden was a top student, and yeah–plenty of girls liked him. But she had never heard anything about him being in a relationship.

“I came to the school today just to clear things up,” Grace said firmly. “If anyone thinks they can lead my son off track, don’t be surprised when I show up at their doorstep to have a word with their parents.”

Her eyes landed directly on Naomi. With that, Grace turned and walked out of the office.

Naomi stood in the hallway, completely shaken. Her lip trembled, and her face went pale as tears started spilling down her cheeks.

Everyone knew exactly what Grace meant. She was calling Naomi out for getting too close to Zayden.

Sure, the Rivers family had some status–but it was nowhere near the level of the Holts.

“Naomi, are you okay?” a classmate asked gently, stepping closer to comfort her.

But Naomi didn’t answer. She just turned and ran down the hall, crying.

Back in Class Six, Eliza sat quietly at her desk, flipping through her workbook like nothing had happened.

None of this surprised her.

Grace might have liked Naomi before. But the second Naomi became a distraction to Zayden’s future? That was it. Grace would drop her in a second.

Public humiliation? Please. She’d been through worse. This didn’t even count.

Compared to what Eliza had gone through in her past life, this was nothing.

Back then, she chose Zayden without a second thought. She gave up her place as the Rivers family heiress just to be with him -and Grace still treated her like she was nothing.

Even after marrying Zayden, Eliza spent years doing everything for that family. She looked after Grace, ran errands, and took care of their home.

And still, Grace never showed her any kindness.

Because Grace was selfish. Always had been.

Whoever ended up marrying into the Holt family? That girl was doomed.

“Man, Zayden’s mom is something else,” Henry muttered from nearby. “Her kid starts dating, and she flips out and storms the school like it’s a crime.”

Just as the words left his mouth, Grace appeared at the door of Class Six.

She smiled sweetly, then waved at Eliza. “Eliza, come here, dear. I need a quick word.”

All eyes turned to her.

Eliza stood up slowly and walked out of the classroom with a calm expression.

Grace gently patted her hand and leaned in. “Zayden’s in a different league, you know. There are always people trying to use him to get ahead. As his fiancée, you should be keeping a closer eye on him.” Then, lowering her voice, she added, “I know you understand what I’m saying. You’re the only one I see as my future daughter–in–law. Once you graduate, if college isn’t your plan, you and Zayden can get engaged. You’ll move in with the Holt family, live comfortably, and when the time’s right, we’ll have the wedding.”

8:40 AM

Keep an eye on Zayden? Yeah, right. Like she’d waste her time on that.
