The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398 Return to the Lion’s Den

“I know where Christian lives. Come with me.”

Eliza climbed into the car.

Matteo followed right after.

Once inside, Eliza instructed the driver to head for Christian’s apartment.

When they arrived, she quickly spotted a light glowing on Christian’s floor.

Just then, Christian’s car horn sounded twice.

Eliza looked up, and saw him at the window.

+ Pearls

Christian stared down at her for a moment, as if trying to communicate something, but then drew the curtains shut.

“He’s in there?” Matteo asked.

“He is.”

With Eliza’s confirmation, Matteo turned to give the signal for his men to move.

But Eliza grabbed his arm.

“What do you plan to do once you

“Take care of her. What else?”

find her?”

Matteo began to pull his arm free, but Eliza held on.

“I have a more interesting plan. Want to hear it?”

Matteo frowned. “What plan?”

“Instead of storming up there, what if we let you deliver Naomi back yourself?”

“You’re joking.”

Whether or not the baby Naomi was carrying was really Nathaniel’s didn’t matter–Nathaniel already intended to use the child to replace him.

That would strip him of all remaining value.

“The baby hasn’t been born yet,” Eliza said. “So what if we wait until Nathaniel’s smug and confident, then drop the truth in front of everyone that the child isn’t his. What do you think his reaction will be? What do you think the rest of the Hartwell family will say?”

Matteo went silent.

Eliza went on, “This way, we coyer all bases. If you kill Naomi now and Nathaniel finds the body, he’ll automatically suspect you. Even if you had nothing to do with it, he’ll slap the blame on you anyway. Then what? He’ll accuse you of killing your own blood for power. That gives him the perfect excuse to eliminate you.”

“Bum if i send her back now, he has no reason to act against me?

“Exactly I’ll calm his suspicions and make him think you’re still loyal. That buys you time he won’t make a move right away”

Matten looked at Eliza with new eyes.

This woman really was sharp.

She thought of everything.

“You know Nathaniel regrets raising you, she continued. “He regrets giving you the chance to grow strong, Now, he’s scared of you because of that strength–but that’s also why he hasn’t dared to act?

Matteo already knew everything she was saying.

Nathaniel had wanted him dead for a long time.

“Alright, I get it.”

He turned to his men. “When we go up, watch yourselves. Don’t scare Ms. Naomi

His men hesitated, exchanging uncertain glances.

They hadn’t expected Matteo to actually agree to send Naomi back.

Eliza stood behind him. “Go ahead. I’ll wait down here.”

“I’ll have someone drive you back.”

“If I show up, it’ll only make things messier.”

He gave the driver a look. The driver quickly stepped forward.

“Ms. Sue, let me take you home.”

Eliza glanced at Matteo and made a face. “Using me and tossing me away. Typical.”

Matteo ignored her and turned toward the building as his men headed up.

Inside the apartment…

Naomi was with Christian.

Christian was a nervous wreck.

He knew someone would come soon,

And when they did, he had no idea what fate would await him.

Naomi had just returned from her stay with Tracy. Her nerves were still frayed.
