The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 3 Breaking Off The Engagement With Zayden

Ever since she was a kid, she had to give up everything good to Naomi, simply because she was the older sister.

In the end, both her grades and her love were taken away from her.

In her previous life, after Naomi killed someone in a hit–and–run, their usually cold mother had actually held her hand tenderly and said. “Eliza, you’re her elder sister. She’s about to get married. You wouldn’t want to watch your sister die, would you?

The fact that she was the elder sister meant she had to take the blame for Naomi and take on the charge of the hit–and–run.

When the victim’s family caused a scene in court, she was beaten until she vomited blood, while Evelyn was only concerned with protecting Naomi, who was standing by as a family member.

Did all of this happen to her simply because she was the older sister?

Eliza asked. “Mom, Dad, do you both think that as an older sister, I should sacrifice everything for Naomi, including my life!”

Nathan and Evelyn both frowned; they didn’t understand why she would say such strange words.

Evelyn snapped. “It’s late; what nonsense are you spouting now? I would want to ask you instead–I heard from Naomi about you breaking off the engagement with Zayden. What’s going on?”

Facing the scolding. Eliza responded calmly, “Zayden doesn’t love me, so he wants to break off the engagement, and I agree

A sudden bang echoed through the room.

Evelyn slammed the table, standing up angrily, and said, “Nonsense! Why don’t you tell us about such a big matter?”

Eliza had anticipated her mother’s reaction.

In her previous life, because Zayden didn’t like her, the Holt family had attempted to break off the engagement multipletimes

This caused her to lose face at school and become a laughingstock of the entire Westbrook.

At that time, feeling disheartened, she had agreed to the breakup, but Evelyn had slapped her angrily, saying that her actions had affected Naomi’s reputation.

Yeah, how could a woman who was publicly dumped by her husband still be worthy to be Naomi’s older sister?

Naomi, acting like a sweet little angel, walked over to Evelyn and tried to comfort her emotions. She said, “Mom, Eliza didn’t do it on purpose; please don’t be angry at her.

This time, Eliza clearly saw the flash of smugness in Naomi’s eyes.

Naomi had been struggling with how to get together with Zayden. Now that Eliza had voluntarily broken off the engagement, it was exactly what she had wanted.

She thought to herself how silly her sister was

The Holt family was such a good match, but she refused to marry into it. Now, after breaking the engagement, no one would dare to marry Eliza.

Evelyn said. “Since Naomi is pleading for you, I’ll let it go this time. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the Holt family to apologize. and we’ll pretend that no one mentioned breaking off the engagement. The midterm exam is coming soon, so focus on studying.

Evelyn took a deep breath and continued, “Naomi has always been in the top three in her grade. But for you, your grades have been slipping, and the teacher has approached me and mentioned that with your current performance, you might not even make it into college.

When Evelyn brought up midterm exams, Naomi’s expression was a little uneasy, and she said, “Mom, why are you bringing that up? Eliza is so smart. I’m sure she’ll do well in the next exam. We should believe in her.”

Hearing Naomi defending her, Eliza couldn’t help but find it laughable.

Naomi had been a top student in middle school, but after entering high school, she couldn’t keep up with the pace, and her results went into a downfall

Eventually, Naomi came and begged for her, asking if she could swap test papers with her.

In her previous life, Eliza did what Naomi told her, covering for Naomi, and ended up having their parents get called in by the school.

In the end, even the teachers stopped believing in her learning abilities.

In one exam, she took it with her real ability and didn’t swap papers with Naomi. As a result, she scored first in her grade.

The teacher suspected her of cheating, and it was Naomi who stood up and tearfully said that she was afraid Eliza wouldn’t make it into college, so she swapped the papers with her in a momentary lapse of judgment.

No matter how much she tried to explain, her parents and the teachers no longer believed her words.

Later, Naomi shamelessly said that if she hadn’t begged for mercy for her, Eliza would have been punished.

It was laughable that she had actually believed this absurd excuse in her previous life.

But the good news was, she had only covered for Naomi’s cheating twice up until now.

This time, she wouldn’t be stupid enough to help her cheat.

Chapter 4 Eliza, Stop Your Little Tricks!

+8 Pearls

Under the watchful eyes of Evelyn and Naomi, Eliza reached out and grabbed Naomi’s hand, then said with a smile. “Thank you, Naomi, for believing in me. This time, I’ll work even harder and try my best in the exam.”

Having her hand held by Eliza, Naomi instinctively stiffened.

Eliza had always been quiet and felt inferior in front of her. She would never actively hold her hand or say such warm and mushy words.

This feeling made Naomi uncomfortable.

But since their parents were there, Naomi couldn’t draw her hand back and could only force a smile looking at Eliza

Late at night, Eliza returned to her room.

It was a small attic.

The Rivers family had other guest rooms, but her mother said those were reserved for relatives, asking her to bear with it.

The school was empty, and the lights in the classrooms were off.

Eliza climbed up to the classroom on the fifth floor. She opened the door, entered the classroom, and turned on the lights.

As soon as the lights turned on, a figure appeared in the back row of the classroom.

Eliza frowned and thought, Zayden? Wasn’t he celebrating his birthday last night? What was he doing in the classroom? Had he not gone home? Forget about it; it had nothing to do with me.

With that thought in mind, Eliza carried her bag and walked toward her seat,

His tone was full of questioning, even with a hint of disgust.

Upon hearing Zayden’s words, Eliza felt speechless.

Seeing that Eliza didn’t respond to him in an unprecedented way, Zayden’s frown deepened. He kicked her chair and said. “Are you mule now?”

Eliza replied. “Aren’t you being childish?”
