Revenge of an Heiress (Zima Triplets Trilogy #1) (English) Chapter 26
ChantriaAfter I wiped my tears, we continued with the review. I'm so thankful to them, especially Lorreine. They didn't ask any more questions even though I know they were both very curious about why I cried.Knowing Lorreine, I expected her to bombard me with questions, but she didn't. She respects me, and I couldn't help but tear up again. Fortunately, I was able to hold it in because it would have been too embarrassing in front of the two of them.I only met them recently, and here I am, already being dramatic. Even with Iwatani, whom I've known longer, it was only recently that I opened up. Maybe it's because they're women, and somehow I know they understand how I feel.The hormones.We decided to sleep early because we'll all be going to the gym together tomorrow before work. Even though we only had a brief chat, it seems like there's no problem with them."What are you talking about?" Lorreine exclaimed. "We have many years left to do overnight stays. If you want, we can even s

Chantria“Our class is having a field trip on the 18th,” our adviser said. “So, I know how excited you all are. But I need to remind you that the deadline for the activity in our subject is before the trip. Failure to submit the activity and failing grades mean you can’t participate in the trip.”Some groaned at the announcement, while others didn’t care. I couldn't help but sigh because I really hate physics. I'm not confident that I'll pass the activity given to us.First, I can't copy. Second, I have no one to copy from in case there is. And third, the content of the activity varies depending on which row you're sitting in.Iwatani is sitting beside me, so his content is different. Lorreine and Louella are sitting in the same row, so they have the same content, while I am different from the two of them. Even if I were to group with any of them, I would be secure.“Stop sighing,” Iwatani said, and I looked at him before pouting. “You've been sighing for a while now. Is there somethi

Chantria"Wear this," said Iwatani as he still attached the apron to me.I almost couldn't breathe while he put on the apron for me. I just swallowed hard while staring into space. And when he finished attaching the apron to me, that was the only time I took a breath.Fortunately, he was already busy looking at the ingredients and equipment we would be using, so he didn't notice my reaction. I took deep breaths repeatedly to calm my racing heart."I'm going to teach you how to cook Adobo. This is one of the easiest dishes to cook, so I think you'll get it right away. The pork is still a bit tough, so let's boil it first."I stood beside him and watched what he was doing. He instructed me to chop onions and a few other ingredients to add to the Adobo.This was our go-to dish in Canada because it was dad's favorite. I've never got to cook it for him, though, because we had a cook. But now that I'll be learning this, I'll make sure to cook it for dad the next time we see each other.I do

Chantria"I'll just bring these tomorrow for the trip," I answered Lorreine's question. "How about you? Are you buying anything for tomorrow too?""Of course! We bought a lot of snacks because I'm sure many of our classmates will ask for some during the trip. They're all peasants," she said, making us laugh. I didn't know our classmates well enough to know if she was telling the truth or not. I would find out tomorrow on the trip. But since Lorreine was close to all of our classmates, it seemed likely that what she said was true.We all looked at Iwatani as he approached us, panting. When he noticed that I wasn't alone, he took a step back and had something hidden behind his back. I didn't ask what it was because Lorreine bombarded him with questions."Have you finished shopping? Why don't you just come with Louella and me? We're planning to have lunch and go to the arcade. If you're not busy, that is. It's okay if you don't want to."We looked at each other and gestured to decide who

ChantriaI just realized that I fell asleep. I woke up when I heard our teacher's voice. I don't know at which part of the movie I fell asleep, but because of the long journey, I couldn't resist it.Iwatani was already awake when I opened my eyes, and my head was resting on his shoulder. I didn't feel it anymore, but I just ignored it.I fixed myself up because we were almost there. I really wanted to get out because I was starting to feel numb from sitting for so long. I tried to stretch because of the body pain."Oh no! I forgot to bring my sunscreen," I heard Lorreine say from behind us. "I remember taking it out of the plastic, but I think I forgot to put it in my bag." I heard a hint of envy from her, so I laughed softly.I took my sunscreen from my bag and partially stood up to peek at them. "Here. Use mine. It's still full."She pretended to cry. "You're my lifesaver, Seanne. Thank you so much!"I chuckled at her reaction."Hey," Iwatani called. "Sit down. The driver might sudd

Chantria"Finished already?" I asked as our companions started to disembark from the ride.Gab chuckled softly beside me. "Yeah, sorry. You didn't get to enjoy the ride because of me."I quickly shook my head. "No way! It's not your fault. I'm the one who's talkative."He got off the boat first, and I followed suit. He held out his hand for me, and I took it before disembarking. He smiled, and I did the same before we exited the ride.I looked around for Iwatani, but I couldn't see them. It looked like they were still on the ride, which was quickly filled. So, I decided to buy ice cream at a stand while waiting. The ride was quite long."Do you want one?" I asked."Sure." He reached into his pocket before handing it over to me. "Here, I'll pay."I quickly shook my head. "No need. I'll buy it."I handed him the strawberry flavored ice cream while I had vanilla. I didn't expect him to like strawberry, but I couldn't judge a guy based on his ice cream preferences. I like dark chocolate,

Chantria"You didn't immediately tell us that you came from a wealthy family," Lorreine said while we were lying on the bed. Louella was lying on the couch and just listening quietly."It's just complicated, you know? Some say being a rich kid is all that. They can buy whatever they want. Or maybe their future is already secured because their parents are wealthy."I sighed before continuing, "But we're not all that. We also have problems. We're just human like everyone else. That's why I don't tell anyone that my family is rich. I don't want to be discriminated against. I don't want to be friends with someone just because I have money.""Well, it would be unfair if you don't have problems like us. At least we know that everyone is treated fairly in that aspect," Lorreine said, nodding.I just nodded in response before drifting off to sleep. I didn't know if they had also fallen asleep because when I woke up, they were already getting ready.According to Iwatani, everyone had calmed do

Chantria"What's that about a while ago?" I asked while on my way home."What do you mean?" he replied.I turned to look at him. "Did something happen between you and Gab that I don't know about? It feels like... there's tension."He didn't immediately answer my question. Or maybe he was thinking of a lie because he didn't want me to know that there was indeed tension between them."It's nothing, Seanne. You don't have to worry.""What? Is it a guy thing? Can't I know what it is? Or are you hiding something from me?""Like what I've said, it's nothing. You're just overthinking. We're just competing with each other as a former member and a new member."I looked at him as if I was searching for something on his face. I don't know what he's thinking. But it feels like there's really something. Or am I overthinking just like he said?"Really?" I confirmed."Really. I don't even know how it started. I just thought, I can't bear to lose to him."He glanced at me before looking at the street

ChantriaI slowly opened my eyes, but quickly shut them again due to the pain in my head. But when everything came back to me, I quickly got up from my bed. I ignored the throbbing pain in my senses because there was only one thing I wanted to see right now."Carleigh!" I exclaimed as I entered the living room of our house with Chanel.Chanel and Iwatani, who were playing Xbox, both turned to look at me. Iwatani immediately stopped playing to talk to me."She's in the kitchen," Chanel replied. "She said she wanted to cook for you."I didn't finish what she was saying and ran to the kitchen. There I saw her back turned on me. She was mixing something in the pan.Tears once again fell from my eyes. I can't believe that she's really here. It wasn't a dream. She's really in front of me."Carleigh..." I said.She turned around briefly, surprised at my sudden speech. "Chantria, you're awake. How are you feeling? I'm cooking soup."I didn't pay attention to what she was saying and ran to her

Chantria"Woah! Woah! Calm down, princess," Lance said with both hands raised in the air."You said you're friends with Iwatani. You lied to me!""I didn't lie, miss. Iwatani is my best friend.""If he's your friend, why are you with this guy?" I pointed the gun at Gab, who was calmly standing near a car. He leaned on it, looking at me as if he wasn't scared of what I was holding."Isaac? Why? He's not my best friend, but we're friends too. Do you know him?""I don't just know him. I know him well."Lance turned to his friend when he asked, so Gab answered. "She's Chantria, Lance. Or you might know her as Seanne."Lance's jaw dropped and he seemed frozen in place. "This is the girl you're crazy about? I didn't expect this from you."I tried not to react to what Lance said. He might be lying. No. He's definitely lying. Iwatani isn't even here, as he said. How can I trust someone like him?"Great," I said. "We're already here anyway. Why don't you answer my questions, Gabriele? Where's

ChantriaAfter a long day at work, I went straight to our house with Chanel. And yes, we’re still living together. However, we rarely see each other except in the morning before we go to work. But I was surprised because she came home early today."You're early," I greeted her. I also slumped on the sofa and grabbed the chips she was eating."Just for a change. I need a break," she replied.We were quiet for a while, watching TV when she suddenly spoke. "I heard the one who killed Carleigh is caught." Her voice was low, just enough for me to hear."I don't know yet. But according to Lorreine, the man they caught had something to do with what happened. I don't know if he's the one who killed her or if there's someone else involved.""Why do you seem hesitant? This is what we've been waiting for, right? To find the killer.""I don't know. I don't think I can face him yet."She turned off the TV before facing me. "Let me ask you something. What do you want to do? What kind of revenge are

ChantriaI lowered the cap I was wearing to hide my face a little bit. I also adjusted my fake glasses to see where I was going more clearly.I continued pushing the cleaning supplies towards the elevator. I greeted some people I passed by and they greeted me back, but they didn't ask any further questions.I needed to act as natural as possible. I didn't want to get caught after everything I had done for this mission. I wouldn't leave the hotel without finding any evidence against them.When I reached the twelfth floor, I got off and continued pushing the cleaning supplies towards Gab's room.I looked left and right before inserting the key card and swiping it. I held my breath until the lock clicked, indicating that the door had opened. Lorreine was really reliable in these kinds of tasks.And Chanel would surely scold me if she found out. Iwatani didn't want me to do these things either, so I didn't tell him about my plan. It was better if only Lorreine knew.When I got inside, I l

ChantriaI was staring into space while lost in thought. The encounter we had at 7/11 earlier is still on my mind. I can't believe I saw him again after several months.And he wasn't looking for me, he said. He wouldn't show up if I didn't want to see him. I don't know if I should be happy about what he said or not.But one thing is for sure, he still loves me. Chanel is right. He loves me. Well, he's not sure if he really loves me or not, but he said his feelings haven't changed.There's something inside me that hopes he's telling the truth. There's a part of me that believes he really had nothing to do with what his dad was doing. He was just caught in the middle.Now, I just have to wait. Wait for whatever plan he has in mind. I don't know what kind of plan he'll make, but I will believe in him."Let me have your ice cream." Chanel snatched the ice cream from my hand before I could react and licked it."Chanel!" I tried to take it back from her. "That's mine!""You're not eating it

Chantria"Congratulations on passing the interview," said HR Manager Ms. Dianne Gutierrez. "From here on out, you'll be assigned to different leaders to guide you. I want to introduce you to Miss Anna Marshall, the head of the marketing department."A tall woman with glasses introduced herself. Afterwards, Lorreine and Louella were introduced as Miss Marshall's apprentices."And Miss Yao Lu, the head of the general management." She was a shorter woman with glasses, but with thicker lenses.Chanel and I nodded as she called out our names. We were assigned to her. Only Ma'am Dianne knew who we were to avoid favoritism in the company.We didn't want any privilege as apprentices here. It was already a big help that we were able to get in despite still being in college. We didn't want to abuse our influence. It was also fortunate that we were allowed to bring Louella and Lorreine.It's been a few months since we graduated. We've been busy taking care of our apprenticeship here. Luckily, Da

Chantria"Why are you so surprised to see me?" he asked. "I told you I'm coming today, right? Did you forget?"I forced myself to smile, but it came out awkwardly. "I-I'm just... yeah. I forgot."He chuckled softly. "That's okay. I'll wait for you here so you can freshen up. We're going somewhere, and you're going to love it."He turned to head back to his car when I called out to him. He faced me with a questioning look."What? Is there a problem?" He walked towards me. He reached out his hand to touch me, but I didn't accept it."Let's not go today. I'm not feeling well."Ignoring my rejection of his hand, he touched my forehead. "You don't have a fever. But if you're feeling unwell, we can go there next time. Wait, I'll buy you some medicine."Before I could stop him, he had already left. I let out a sigh before going inside. I needed to figure out a way to get rid of him without him suspecting anything. I knew it was only a temporary solution, but I needed more time to think about

ChantriaI sipped my coffee before facing Iwatani. We were in the living room to introduce me to the important people in the business world. This was the first step in my revenge.Of course, I needed to know who I was going to face. I couldn't just bump into them without knowing anything."First of all, the Zima Company. Your dad's company." I was about to object, but he didn't let me. "Even though you're the heir, I know you haven't met all of your dad's staff yet. Am I right?"I thought about it, and he was right. I didn't know anyone. I knew Joaquin was my dad's secretary before he disappeared, but I didn't know who replaced him. I also hadn't met any of the board members yet because of what happened.He placed a photo of my dad on the table, which I immediately looked at. "Philippio Geronimo Zima. The president and CEO of Zima Corp. As you may know, he owns hotels, restaurants, condominiums, and other residential properties both in and out of the country."He then placed another p

Chantria"So, who's the other guy?" she asked while looking at my friends who seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the tension between the two of us had subsided.I looked at my friends because I wasn't sure who she was referring to. "Who? Iwatani?""The other one. The cute one." My eyes twinkled because both Iwatani and Gab were cute. "The new one. I already met that Japanese-looking guy. The other one. The Spanish-looking one."I nodded. "That's Gab. My boyfriend."She raised an eyebrow in my direction. "I thought the other one was your boyfriend.""No, he's not. He's my bodyguard. What about that guy? Your boyfriend?"She rolled her eyes. "My bodyguard, Chantria. Dad didn't just assign a bodyguard to you. And he's annoying. There's no way in hell he's my boyfriend."I laughed at what she said. "You two look cute together."She grinned at me because of what I said. "You and your bodyguard look cute together too."I gave her a stern look. "He rejected me already.
