The Real Heiress Rules the World (Sloane Rivers) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Sloane Isn’t the Rivers Family’s Daughter

Helen thought it would be simple. She went to the university herself, planning to bring Sloane home under the pretense of a mother reclaiming her daughter.

“What did you just say, Sloane’s not on campus anymore? Where did she go?” Helen’s face darkened; she looked like she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

Samson shot her a glance, his tone detached. “Sloane went to Blackhawk’s training camp. She’ll be in closed training for the next three months. No one is allowed to disturb her during that time.”

Samson had known about the Rivers family situation, but he hadn’t realized they’d gone so far as to pressure Sloane. It wasn’t until Sloane came to him that he found out just how despicable the Rivers family had become.

So, he’d taken matters into his own hands and arranged for her to enter Blackhawk’s training camp, where no one would be able to reach her.

Helen’s face went from pale to flushed in seconds. She never imagined Sloane would run off to Blackhawk, let alone go into lockdown training. “Absolutely not. Call them right now and have her brought back.”

Samson stared coldly at her, his voice laced with open sarcasm. “Madam Helen, Blackhawk’s training camp is a national–level program. It doesn’t stop just because you say so.”

Helen bristled at his attitude, her voice shrill. “I’m her mother! I have the right to bring her home! Who are you to stop me?”

Samson gave a cold laugh, his tone thick with disgust. “Mother? Madam Helen, ask yourself, have you ever fulfilled your duty as a mother? From the time Sloane was a child, you and your family know exactly what you put her through. And now that the Rivers family is in trouble, suddenly you remember her? What a joke.”

Helen was momentarily stunned into silence. Panic flickered across her face before she quickly returned to her aggressive stance. “This is a family matter. It’s not your place to interfere. Call Sloane back right now, or you’ll regret it.”

Samson didn’t budge. His voice remained calm and cold. “Like I said, it’s a closed training program, no one can get in touch with her. As for your threats, go ahead. Try me.”

Helen was taken aback by Samson’s imposing presence. Deep down, she knew her threats were just empty words. These days, the Rivers family couldn’t even protect themselves, let alone go up against a professor at Stonebridge University.

Left with no other choice, she slunk away from campus in defeat.

Later, Samson told Sloane that Helen had come by and urged her not to worry about anything else, just focus on her training.

“I understand. Thank you, Samson.” Sloane calmly hung up the phone. Looks like running away was the right call after all.

Just as she was about to head to training, her phone chimed, a new message had come in.

She casually tapped on it. It was from an unfamiliar number.

“Sloane, you’re not the Rivers family’s daughter. If you want to know the truth about who you really are, meet me alone. Otherwise, you’ll never learn the truth.”

Sloane’s pupils contracted as she read the message. It took her a long moment to fully process what she’d just seen.

She knew this could very well be a trap set by Helen. But that was exactly why the message might be true.

No wonder… no wonder the Rivers family always treated me so coldly. I was never their daughter to begin with. All those years ago, she’d only overheard her adoptive parents talking and ran off to find the Rivers family on a hunch.

Now that she thought back on it, the whole reunion had been suspicious from the start. Helen had accepted her just based on rumors of a baby switch, without even requesting
