The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358 The Line She Crossed

Nolan’s grip only tightened, as if he might snap Elaine’s neck at any second.

By the time her eyes rolled back, he finally let go.

Elaine collapsed to the floor, gasping for air, as if she’d nearly died. In the nearby mirror, bruises already bloomed across her throat.

He had truly meant to kill her.

Realizing this, Elaine’s face went sheet white. “Nolan! You’re doing this to me–for Eliza?!”

“In my eyes, you mean nothing. And if I ever find out you tried to hurt Eliza, I’ll snap your neck without hesitation.”

It wasn’t an empty threat. His eyes were pure ice.

Elaine, already pale, turned ghostly. “She stole my fiancé! Anything I do is justified! And I haven’t even done anything–she and Matteo barged into my home and destroyed everything! Did you ask me once how I felt? You ignored me completely. I had no one else to turn to but your uncle! You abandoned me, Nolan- this is on you!”

Nolan let out a cold laugh. “You know perfectly well why Eliza and Matteo went to your house. Do I really need to list everything you did in my office? You act like the victim, but were you not the one trying to blackmail people with that contract? You think I don’t see through that act?”

Elaine was stunned into silence.

She had no response.

Nolan glanced at the table full of carefully prepared dishes, and his voice dropped even colder. “And I told you–this house is off–limits to you outside the guest room. You don’t touch anything.”

“I just wanted to show you how good I could be… What’s wrong with that?”

Elaine lifted her head defiantly, still refusing to admit she was in the wrong.

Just then, Nolan’s assistant arrived at the door.

“Mr. Hayes, everything has been arranged.”

“Take her.”

“Yes, sir.”

The assistant entered and helped lift/Elaine from the floor.

She panicked, her voice rising in alarm. “What are you doing? Let go of me! I’m not going anywher

“Please don’t worry, Ms. Elaine. Mr. Hayes has arranged a luxurious hotel for you while the Lynn residence is under renovation. It’s a five–star suite, with staff attending to your every need. There will also be close protection on site for your safery–it’s a far better environment than this one.”

Elaine wasn’t stupid.

She heard the real meaning loud and clear.

“Staff attending hier” and “close protection” really meant surveillance.

Nolan was locking her away to keep her from doing anything to Eliza.

Her expression soured further. She realized if she left now, she wouldn’t be free again for months.

Still, she was out of options.

“Ms. Elaine, please don’t make this harder than it has to be. Come with us.”

With that, the assistant led her out.

Though she was furious and unwilling, Elaine knew she had no choice. For now, she needed to find a way to contact Tyson.

Once in the car, the assistant handed her a brand–new phone.
