The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348 The Price of a Face

Christian quickly understood what Eliza meant.

She wanted Naomi’s face ruined–beyond repair, permanently.

He hadn’t expected such ruthlessness from a girl. But Eliza didn’t just want Naomi’s face damaged–she wanted it to rot.

In the bathroom, Naomi had just stepped out.

The sight of the festering wound on her body, now pale and soggy from the water, made Christian want to gag.

But he didn’t let it show. Instead, he forced a smile and said, “That was quick”

“The wound hurts too much. I couldn’t shower properly! When are you going to do the surgery? I gave you all my money!”

Naomi had handed over every cent she’d scraped together from her time with Nathaniel–all for the sake of her face.

But an entire day had passed, and Christian still hadn’t lifted a finger to operate.

He was still torn–offend Eliza, or offend Naomi?

“You need more time to heal. For now, just stick to the medication–no surgery yet…”

“I don’t care about that! I need you to fix this!”

Naomi’s face darkened. If her ID and passport weren’t still locked up with Matteo, she wouldn’t be stuck here begging Christian.

Worried that she might take her bank card back in anger, Christian switched to coaxing her. “I’ll make sure you have the best medicine to ease the pain. When the time’s right, I’ll take you to a doctor I know–he specializes in medical aesthetics. He can treat the scarring. You’ll be almost fully recovered.”

Naomi finally nodded in satisfaction at that promise.

But Christian only grew more troubled.

On one side was Eliza. On the other, Naomi.

How was he supposed to balance the two?

Meanwhile, one of Eliza’s people had sent the photos straight to her phone.

She glanced at the screen and saw Christian and Naomi in bed together. Her lips curved into a faint smile.

At least Christian knew how to follow instructions.

He knew exactly what she wanted.

Halbert leaned over Eliza’s shoulder–just in time to catch sight of the photo.

When he saw the intimate picture of Christian and Naomi, his expression turned dryly amused. “Didn’t

think you were into this kind of thing. Wonder what Tristan would say if he found out.

“You seemed pretty into it yourself. Want me to send you the photo so you can study it closely?”

“No, thanks.”

Halbert quickly averted his gaze. “If I were going to look at anything, it wouldn’t be them.”

Eliza rolled her eyes at him and saved the photos for future use..

Just then, she got a text from Henry.

They hadn’t been in touch lately–cach living their own separate lives. Why was Henry suddenly asking to meet today?

She was about to reply when Halbert chimed in, “Why don’t you two have dinner here? I’ll make myself

scarce.”

“You know about this too?”

Eliza frowned. Halbert motioned toward the mirror behind her. No wonder he knew exactly what she was looking at earlier.

That mirror was definitely coming down.

She followed Halbert’s suggestion and replied to Henry.

By evening, Henry had arrived at her apartment.

“Make yourself at home. Slippers are by the door.”

It was Henry’s first time visiting.

He didn’t stand on ceremony. Eliza added, “If you’re looking for Halbert, he’s next door.”

“No. I came to see you.”

Henry stepped inside and glanced around her place. “Nice setup.”

“It’s fine. I ordered takeout. Want some?”

Henry shook his head. “I won’t stay long. Just need to say a few things.”
