The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349 The Woman Who Waited

As soon as Henry finished speaking, Eliza pulled out her phone, ready to call Nolan.

“What are you doing?”

“Obviously, I’m sending Nolan the picture Elaine took of that contract. If it gets out-”

“That has nothing to do with you. Your name isn’t on the contract. If something happens, it’s Nolan who’ll be in trouble, not you. There’s no reason to throw yourself into it.”

“You just said it yourself–if there’s an investigation, it’ll definitely involve me. We’re all on the same sinking boat. Of course I have to tell him.”

“Enough.”

Henry snatched her phone away. “I was just trying to scare you. Even if they investigate, they won’t trace it back to you.”

Then he pulled out his own phone. “If you really feel the need to tip him off, use mine. And don’t forget- you’re overseas now. If anything happens, there’s no guarantee anyone will protect you. At least in Westbrook, no one dares touch me yet.”

“…Then I won’t call. I’ll go see Nolan in person.”

“You can’t.”

Henry’s tone turned firm. “You’re my fiancée now. Elaine’s already warned me–to keep you in check. Otherwise, who knows what she might do.”

His brow furrowed. “Just answer me–what do you want with those firearms? Do you even realize how illegal this is? If you get caught, the consequences will be serious.”

“I… have my reasons. Don’t ask.”

“Nolan does what he does for you–and now you’re doing this for someone else. Let me guess. Is it Matteo?”

Eliza had only mentioned Matteo once in passing, but Henry had warned her even then to stay far away from him.

And now she’d gone behind his back–not just supporting Matteo, but providing him with weapons.

When Eliza didn’t respond, Henry’s suspicion turned into certainty.

The yeins at his temples bulged. “You’ve lost your mind. Do you have any idea who Matteo really is? Do you know what he’s planning? You don’t know a damn thing, and yet you’re still helping him? Nathaniel may have taken him in as a foster son, but even he won’t hand over any real power. Haven’t you wondered why? Because Matteo is a rabid dog–loyal to no one. And here you are!”

“I don’t want to help him. Maybe I am helping, but only because of complicated interests. Whatever kind of person he is, so far, he’s kept his word.”

“Kept his word“? He’s doing that now because he has no choice. He’s a caged animal. Of course he acts reliable. But the moment he replaces Nathaniel, do you really think he’ll stay that way?”

Henry knew it was useless.

Chapter 349 The Woman Who Waited

Eliza was already entangled with Matteo.

But he just couldn’t understand why Matteo?

Nathaniel would never let his foster son inherit the Hartwell family. He was just ining Matter as a part; dangling promises of power to get him to do the dirty work.

Nathaniel might not win–but if he lost, what would become of Eliza?

Eliza said calmly. “Don’t worry. He won’t lose.”

She didn’t know every detail of the journey.

But she already knew how it ended.

Nathaniel’s arrogance had sealed his fate long ago.

Henry looked at her long and hard, then said coldly,

“I can’t change your mind. Just promise me you won’t get involved any further. I’ll call Nolan myself and explain everything. As for Elaine… I’ll assign someone to keep an eye on her. Do your best to avoid her. Don’t provoke her for any reason. Elaine’s always been unstable. If she finds out she has no shot with Nolan, she could snap–and when she snaps, there’s nothing she won’t do. You’ve seen that yourself”

Eliza didn’t reply, but she understood perfectly.

Still, she’d had enough of sitting back and waiting.

Once Henry left, she sat in silence, deep in thought.
