The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance

Chapter 477 Buried Truths

Finished

In her previous life, Eliza had heard plenty of conspiracy theories, but she’d never taken them seriously. Now, though, it was starting to look like some of those theories might be real.

Could the Foster family really have orchestrated a terrifying flu outbreak just to make money?

No… no way.

There was no way the Foster family had that kind of power.

“Stop thinking about it,” Nolan said gently, reaching over to pat her head. “I’ve already sent people to investigate. We’ll have answers soon, and you won’t need to carry the weight of this by yourself.”

“Okay.”

Eliza nodded, her voice softening. “When Ethan killed himself right behind me today, I could feel the injustice in him. I asked who the real killer was, but he wouldn’t say it. Still… I could see it in his eyes. He knew. He died full of rage.”

She knew what that kind of death felt like.

Dying with hatred and bitterness–that was something she understood all too well.

That was why she had to find out who the real killer was… and whether or not the Foster family was

involved.

At that moment, Henry was staring at a news report about the incident at the medical school.

He shut the laptop just as his assistant walked in. “Mr. Henry, the Chairman has asked you to return home.”

“Got it.”

Henry stood, closed the laptop, and followed the assistant back to the Foster estate.

Inside the study, Felix’s expression was dark with anger over the news.

“Why didn’t you do any PR cleanup immediately? Do I need to teach you something this basic?”

Henry stayed calm. “Father, I don’t understand why we need PR. This has nothing to do with us.”

Wendy cut in before Felix could respond. “How can you say that? We’ve been investing in Claire University’s medical school for years. Now that something’s happened, we can’t just wash our hands of it.”

She turned to Felix. “With things this messy, I don’t think we should keep investing.”

“I agree with Aunt Wendy,” Henry said. “This whole thing is a mess. That school is a ticking time bomb–we should drop it while we can.”

“The investments will continue.”

Felix’s tone left no room for argument.

Henry hadn’t expected that. Anyone with a brain could see that staying involved with the medical school

was a bad move, yet his father insisted on continuing.

Something was off.

But instead of asking directly, Henry tried to probe gently. “Still… this could hurt us. People might start thinking we’re tied to what’s going on.”

“Claire University Medical School provides us with top–tier talent every year. We can’t lose that pipeline. As for the rumors, let the PR team handle them. That’s not your

concern.”

“I want all online discussions shut down within the hour. Is that clear?”

“Yes, Father.”

Henry turned to leave…. then stopped at the door.

He looked back. “Father, can I ask one more thing?”

“What?”

“These deaths at Claire University’s medical school… do they have anything to do with us?”

“Of course not.”

Felix answered without hesitation.

“Understood.”

Henry gave a short nod, then walked out.

Wendy watched him go, then chuckled. “He’s getting too smart. Maybe he’s already on to something. You won’t be able to keep your secret much longer.”

But Felix’s expression didn’t change. He turned to his secretary. “Handle it. I don’t want this getting any bigger.”

“Yes, sir.”

Once the secretary left, Felix gave Wendy a sharp look. “Watch your mouth. Don’t say anything like that around him again.”

Wendy said nothing, but the smile slowly disappeared from her face.

Back at Nolan’s office, his assistant finished giving them a report.

“It’s all confirmed. The man who died was named Ethan. He staged everything because his girlfriend, Emilia, was accused of murdering their classmate, Nina.”

He glanced at his notes. “Apparently, Emilia and Nina were academic rivals. They were always neck and neck in performance. Things got worse over a recent research project–Nina was selected for something Emilia also wanted. Emilia took it personally, and, supposedly, she killed Nina in a fit of rage. But afterward. overwhelmed by guilt, she jumped from a building and left behind a note confessing to the crime.

Eliza narrowed her eyes.

A neat little package. Motive, method, confession. All tied up with a bow.

Too neat. Too perfect.

She didn’t believe a word of it.
