Chapter 401 The One Who Once Had It All
Eliza didn’t want Naomi to die so easily.
冰y Pearls
In their past life, Naomi had toyed with her like a plaything–dragging her through exhaustion and despair until she finally gave up and died.
This time around, Eliza wanted Naomi to experience what it was like to once have everything, only to lose it all in an instant. She wanted her to know what it felt like to think she’d reached the clouds, only to come crashing down to earth.
Karma always comes for those who deserve it. And Naomi would not be spared.
Meanwhile, at the Westbrook Hotel-
Zayden sat across from Tracy, staring at her.
Tracy, seeing he had no intention of going back to his own room, said, “It’s already so late, and I’m really tired. If you’re not planning to leave, why not just sleep with me?”
She deliberately lifted the corner of the blanket, gesturing for Zayden to come over.
But Zayden simply looked at her and asked, “Where are you hiding Naomi?”
“What, feeling sorry for her? Worried? Or are you asking on Eliza’s behalf?”
Tracy let out a mocking laugh. “Zayden, know your place. You’re just my toy. If I’m being generous, you’re my boyfriend. If not, you’re nothing. You’ve got no right to sit there and question me.”
“Naomi’s not someone you want to mess with. I’m just trying to keep you away from her.”
“Are you really trying to keep me away from her… or are you just afraid she and I might team up and hurt your precious Eliza?”
Tracy saw right through him.
At the end of the day, Zayden just didn’t want her to go up against Eliza.
But what was so great about Eliza, anyway?
Tracy had lived in the Sue family since she was a child. Everyone already saw her as the Sue family’s daughter. But no matter how obedient she was, the four Sue brothers had never truly treated her as one of their own.
Eliza, on the other hand, had spent over a decade wandering outside..
And the moment she came back, she was instantly embraced as the Sue family’s daughter.
Tristan even treated her like his own sister.
But she was just an illegitimate child.
Still, the Sue family was so good to her.
Tracy felt like her place had been stolen.

Stolen by Eliza.
And now, even Zayden was acting the same.
With a cold voice, Tracy said, “Just stay out of my business. I’m not telling you where Naomi is. You can give up on that.”
Then she turned and lay down in bed.
As Zayden was about to leave, he said, “Aren’t you afraid the Sue family will come looking for her?”
“Halbert won’t.”
Tracy knew deep down that after all these years in the Sue family, she had built a solid relationship with them. Whether in public or in private, they’d always treated her well.
Naomi was just a minor issue. The Sue family wouldn’t turn on her because of something like this.
She wasn’t going to hand Naomi over–and they wouldn’t be mad about it either.
Seeing that Tracy had nothing more to say, Zayden turned and left the room.
The next morning-
Eliza had barely slept, because today Elaine was going to publicly call off her engagement with Nolan.
And because of that, Nolan had sent a car to pick Eliza up early.
In the car-
Eliza couldn’t even keep her eyes open from exhaustion. Nolan glanced over at her tired face and said, “If I’d known, I wouldn’t have come so early. Looks like you were up pretty late last night. Want me to find a lounge for you to rest in?”
Eliza nodded drowsily. “I’m seriously exhausted.”
Seeing this, Nolan pulled a blanket over her. “Go ahead and sleep. I’ll wake you when we get there.”
“…Okay.”
Eliza leaned back against the cushion, falling into a comfortable sleep.
She had no idea where Nolan got the seats in this car, but the moment she leaned on them, she couldn’t help but doze off.
Nolan drove slower on purpose, keeping the ride smooth.
By the time they pulled into the parking garage, Eliza finally opened her eyes. “We’re here?”
“Yeah, we are.”
The garage was dim. Eliza stretched and noticed that forty minutes had passed.
“You drove that slow?”
“Traffic.”
