The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 Uninvited Guests

When Nolan opened the freezer, he saw it packed to the brim with meat and seafood.

“You knew the flu outbreak was coming?” he asked.

That one question made Eliza’s movements pause.

“How could I?”

“You stockpiled all this by coincidence?”

“No.”

Eliza replied, “I bought all of it at the start of the outbreak.”

Nolan didn’t say anything.

At this point, it was too late to question her.

Besides, he didn’t really care if she was lying or not.

“The water’s here. There are a few cases of bottled water in the kitchen too–mix it if you want. I’m heading out.”

With that, Eliza gathered what she needed and left for the warehouse.

Nolan looked around the messy apartment and chuckled quietly.

She must’ve scrambled to clean up yesterday when she found out he was coming.

Clean up, in this case, meant shoving everything into piles out of sight.

Meanwhile-

Eliza had just stepped outside when she spotted a breakfast cart near the warehouse.

Inspections had been strict lately, but workers still needed breakfast before their shifts.

So a few vendors were still operating around the area.

Eliza saw they had cereal, so she bought a box, along with some dumplings and a few other items.

Just as she was about to head back to bring Nolan his breakfast, her phone rang–Zayden.

Seeing his name on the screen, Eliza frowned.

Why would Zayden be calling her?

After a moment of thought, she simply declined the call.

Who cares.

As far as she was concerned, she had nothing to do with Zayden anymore.

Eliza tucked the phone away and turned around to bring breakfast to Nolan.

On the other end, Zayden stared at his rejected call, his face pale.

Back at the suburban villa-

Naomi walked into Zayden’s room.

When Zayden saw her, his expression darkened further.

“Zayden… I told you, Eliza won’t answer your call.”

Naomi was still wearing Zayden’s clothes.

Zayden’s face turned grim at the sight. “Who let you in here? Get out.”

Naomi flinched, her face paling. “Zayden… Last night was my fault, I admit it, but… how could you treat me like this?”

Zayden rubbed his temples, his head pounding.

Naomi had been upset last night and started drinking.

He’d been stressed about family matters, so he drank too.

But he never expected that one night of drinking would lead to that kind of mistake.

“Zayden, we’re already engaged anyway. Can’t we just forget about breaking it off?”

Naomi looked at him, tears in her eyes. “If my parents find out, I’m finished… Zayden, you’ll promise me, won’t you?”

“Get out.”

Zayden gritted his teeth, holding back his anger.

Naomi froze at his response.

“Get out!”

His face was thunderous. “Do I need to say it a third time?!”

Naomi was so shocked her face went sheet white. She stood slowly, trembling, then said to him, “Zayden, stop thinking about Eliza! She’s with Nolan now. She probably didn’t answer your call because she was with him!”

That struck a nerve.

Veins popped on Zayden’s forehead as he snapped, “Enough! I don’t want to hear another word from you. You won’t leave? Fine–then I will!”

With that, he stormed out of the room.

Naomi stood frozen.

Eliza.

It was always Eliza!

Fuming, Naomi hurled the pillow in her arms at the ground.
