The Heiress Reborn Chapter 47 "Eye to Eye"
Eva's Audi struggled to keep pace with the lightning-fast Bugatti Veyron.Meanwhile, Blake silently trailed behind them in his black Ford, keeping a vigilant watch over Eva."Eva, it's not over! You can pull out. The bet doesn't matter. I'll handle Xian." But the only response was the continuous howl of the wind, a chilling reminder of the breakneck speed and the immense distance separating them.Eva could barely hear him. She was focused on racing and didn't even bat an eyelid at him.The growl of the engine resonated through Eva's core, a primal rhythm that quickened her heartbeat to a frantic drum solo. A surge of forgotten passion coursed through her veins, a heady mix of adrenaline and defiance. In that moment, the roar of the engine wasn't just noise; it was a symphony of forgotten dreams, a battle cry for a past she'd locked away. This wasn't just a race; it was a reawakening, a taste of a life she'd yearned for, a life where the thrill of the chase coursed through her very be
The Heiress Reborn Chapter 48 "Winner Take All"
Xian stared at the screen, disbelief etched on his face. "How is that possible?" he muttered, the question more for himself than Eva. The video replayed on a loop, each frame showcasing Eva's undeniable victory. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, a defeated sigh escaped his lips. "Alright, fine. You win." "Can I have the car keys now?" Eva held out her open hand in front of Xian. "Surely the future heir of Senna Group wouldn't deceive a simple country girl like me?"Xian's jaw clenched tight. Each beat of his heart hammered a painful reminder of his promise. Eva's words hung in the air, a challenge he couldn't refuse. A surge of anger, fueled by frustration and heartbreak, flared within him. "Fine!" he spat, the word laced with bitterness. He tossed the car keys at Eva, the metal glinting coldly in the light. The weight of his sacrifice settled heavily on him, a constant reminder of the promise he kept, but the heart he broke."This Bugatti Veyron is a limited edition, s
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 49 "Mother Knows Best"
Blinded by her dislike for Eva, Jackie couldn't fathom Blake losing the project on his own merit. She clung to the belief that Eva had somehow manipulated the situation."Look, Mom, I know you don't understand, but trust me, I tried everything. This is business, not a game, and somehow Eva came out on top. Now I'm at a loss. Any ideas on how to reclaim the project?""Why not?" Jackie asked coldly. "The bitch has got a lot of benefits from you in the past three years of your marriage. There's nothing wrong with asking her to return the project to you. Besides, who knows if she has taken any valuables from our family after you divorced?""Eva's involvement with World Group on this project raises a few red flags. Did she have any prior knowledge of the bid? Maybe a more aggressive strategy is needed to reclaim what's rightfully ours." She paused, her eyes widening in horror. 'No, I have to check it now!"Blake's face darkened.He never realized the depth of his mother's disdain for Ev

Benjamin WillisThe internet users exploded with questions as soon as the lawyer's letter was release for the public to see."It seems the truth has come to light! I had a hunch. Eva, being so young, couldn't
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 51 "The Fact"
Noticing Blake's evident fury, Jackie trembled, her voice quivering as she spoke. Despite her efforts, she found herself unable to refrain from commenting about Eva."Blake, how dare you speak to me in such a manner? That woman is nothing but trouble. She played with fire, and now she's getting burned. I can't believe you're defending her!" "Blake, your tone is unacceptable. That woman is deceitful and manipulative. She pulled dirty tricks on us, even going so far as to steal our project. My response was merely sending a lawyer's letter. Count yourself lucky I didn't involve the police!"Blake's expression hardened as he spoke, his voice carrying a stern edge. "I made it clear that I would handle this matter. No one has the right to meddle in my affairs."Jackie's carefully crafted smile faltered under the heat of his glare. A wave of fear washed over her, momentarily silencing the venomous retort that had been on the tip of her tongue. But beneath the surface, a steely resolve har
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 52 "Declaration"
"Marian!" Jackie hissed, her voice laced with a barely controlled fury. The shock of betrayal battled with a surge of anger, leaving her speechless for a moment.A wave of crushing disappointment washed over Blake. His eyes, once filled with affection for his sister, now held a chilling emptiness. "Marian," he breathed, his voice laced with a barely contained fury."Marian, this is…unbelievable. Selling those documents to DIY Group? Look, I understand frustration about the frozen cards, but this? We always took care of you. You had everything you needed." His voice, laced with disappointment, trailed off.Marian bristled under the heat of Blake's glare. In a defiant gesture, she crossed her arms, a flicker of anger momentarily overriding her fear."I've already worn all that jewelry before. "Look, I needed the money, okay? And those files were just lying around, practically begging to be used! It's not like they were some top-secret documents, even Eva could go in there and clean
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 53 "Unexpected Event"
"Xian Senna was behind this!" Axel exclaimed.Eva's brow furrowed at the mention of Xian's name. It wasn't a surprised. After all, she'd won his beloved car in a recent competition knowing his competitive streak, she wouldn't put revenge past him.Even as Xian enacted his revenge, an unexpected calm settled over her. Fear was nowhere to be found. "Eva" Axel inquired with a glint in his eyes. "Do you want me to hire someone to counter the online attacks?" Maybe we need some damage control online" Axel suggested."Let me deck that dude, Ev!" Owen's jaw clenched and a dangerous glint entered his eyes. He muttered through gritted teeth. Eva shook her head, a playful glint in her eyes."Revenge isn't my style" Eva smirked."No need to worry, Eva reassured them a resolute glint in her eyes. "I won't stoop to his level but Xian will learn from his actions."Eva plotted her revenge in the gleaming sheen of the freshly painted Bugatti Veyron. The once familiar car was now a shocking shade of
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 54 "Difficulties"
A tense silence hung in the air as Blake met Eva's gaze. A ghost of a smile played on his lips, a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. He extended his hand, the unspoken words "I wish us a pleasant cooperation" hanging between them. Eva's expression remained a mask, her emotions carefully guarded. Slowly, deliberately, she turned to Irish, offering a firm handshake and a genuine smile. "Wish us a successful collaboration, wouldn't you agree?"Irish's smile faltered slightly as she grasped Eva's hand. A ripple of disquietude seemed to emanate from Blake, a subtle shift in the atmosphere that sent a prickle of unease down Irish's spine. She offered a polite, "Absolutely, a successful collaboration is what we all aim for."With a furrowed brow, he retreated into his thoughts. The weight of the issue pressed down on him, leaving him paralyzed by indecision. He yearned for a simple solution, a way to navigate this crisis without further complications.Eva signed the contract, b

Xian was still in a daze when the phone rang, pulling him from his thoughts. He blinked a few times, trying to shake off the lingering haze of confusion. As he reached for the phone, he saw Tally's name on the screen, and a wave of curiosity and anticipation washed over him. What could she want at this hour? Xian hesitated to answer the call before finally holding it up to his ear."Xian, have you seen Blake lately?" Tally spoke in a soft voice.Xian felt goose bumps all over his body. "Tally, what do you need from him?""It's been a while since I last saw him. He never answers my calls or comes to visit anymore," Tally whimpered, her voice trembling with worry. "Xian, can you help me find him?"In the past, Xian might have helped Tally without a second thought, but after the harsh lesson Blake had just taught him, he knew better than to risk angering Blake again anytime soon.As Tally sobbed over the phone, Xian tried to calm her. "Please, stop crying," he said gently. "Blake is at
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 94 "A Friend in Question"
Xian's hand flew to his cheek, cradling the stinging welt where a moment ago, Blake's hand had landed. Disbelief clouded his eyes. "Blake...?" His voice barely a whisper. "Why?"Blake's jaw was clenched tight, his features contorted in a mixture of fury and something else – perhaps regret, perhaps a deeper anger he couldn't articulate. "Don't even ask," he growled, his voice strained.Xian flinched at the venom in Blake's tone. The playful banter and easy camaraderie they once shared seemed a distant memory. Fear prickled at his skin, but a flicker of defiance sparked in his eyes. He would get answers, even if it meant facing Blake's wrath.Xian trembled with fright and didn't dare argue with Blake.Owen stood aside and watched everything with disdain.If Blake hadn't attacked Xian's he would have punched Xian.Eva wasn't in the mood to worry about anything else. Her only concern was Owen's injury.In the heat of the battle, Owen had twisted his wound while attempting to attack Xian
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 93 "The Enemy"
Eva returned home with the gifts she bought after the auction.As if she was Santa Claus on Christmas, she distributed each of the items to her family. Uncle Axel wasn't home, so she had to send his item through international express.The Lowes family was overjoyed when they got the gifts from their girl."Ev, what would you like? Name anything, and I'll get it. you want that stars in the night sky? I'll pick them out of the air for you!" Owen soaked in his confidence, grinning.Eva quickly denied his offer, smilling. "Thank you, Uncle Owen. But it's just a fun little gift. There's no favor you need to return to me. Trust me, I'm saving you trouble."This wasn't fun at all. Gossip about Eva and Owen had stirred drama about them all across the city.If the media found out that owen was sending her a gift, no matter how big or small, their names were guaranteed to be the trending topic before long.She wasn't too worried about her own reputation, but Owen was a government official, and
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 92 "The Childish Person"
Eva stiffened, her smile faltering for a fleeting moment. A flicker of suspicion sparked in her eyes as she leveled a cool stare at Brady. "Do you want to take back the painting?"The question hung heavy in the air, laced with unspoken accusation."Goodness, Miss Lowes, the thought never crossed my mind. This painting belongs to you now. It wouldn't be right for me to take it back. Actually, I was hoping we could become friends, if that wouldn't be presumptuous of me.""You want to be her friend?" Jenny piped up, looking at Brady cautiously."Absolutely! Your passion for art is truly refreshing." Brady leaned forward, a spark of genuine interest in his eyes. "You know, my family has a long history in the art industry. We've amassed quite a collection of antiques. If you're ever interested in seeing some unique pieces, I'd love to show you sometime."The intensity in Eva's gaze softened a fraction as she studied Brady's face. A flicker of something genuine – perhaps sincerity,
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 91 "Moment of Truth"
The situation had escalated beyond control and could no longer be swept under the carpet.The auctioneer looked at Eva apologetically.It would be rude to subject the painting to an authentication test after it had already been sold to Eva.However, failing to do so could damage the organization's reputation and potentially lead to a loss of trust and severed ties with their clients."Do you mind, Miss Lowes?" the auctioneer asked politely, his tone tinged with hesitation.Eva met his gaze and responded calmly, "No, I don't. Go ahead with it."Unfazed by the antagonism from most of the people in the hall, Eva folded her arms and stood confidently. Her poise was unwavering as whispers and skeptical glances filled the room. She knew the stakes were high, but she was prepared to face whatever scrutiny came her way. Her unwavering composure seemed to challenge her critics, daring them to doubt her judgment. The air was thick with tension, but Eva's steady demeanor began to shift the atmos
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 90 "High Price for Imitation"
"Apologies, Mr. Torres. Don't worry, I'll handle the situation and make sure she quiets down immediately."Beads of sweat appeared on Curran's forehead as he pleaded with Blake, his voice shaky and desperate. Turning to Becky, he gave her a stern, warning look, masking the true emotions that churned within him. It was all just a show; deep down, he was elated that his goal had been achieved. The facade of fear and anxiety was a necessary act to maintain the charade, but inside, Curran felt a surge of triumph and satisfaction. His mind raced with the possibilities now open to him, and he relished the success that was finally within his grasp.Eva spent a fortune on what turned out to be a fake painting. Three million and five thousand dollars vanished in an instant! He believed she must have exhausted her entire net worth. The sheer enormity of the loss was staggering, and the thought of such a monumental mistake weighed heavily on him. He couldn't fathom how she had been deceived so e
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 89 "The Forged Art"
The auction continued, and they placed a piece of classical oil painting for bidding.It was a portrait of a majestic general and his men fighting bravely with the enemy. The vivid image, strong color tone, and well-defined strokes offered a powerful visual effect.The auctioneer tapped the microphone and announced, "This oil painting, named Victory, is a skillfull work of art of the classical painter, Alexander Yebo, which depicts the victory return of General Theo Clark. Brady Lena has donated this piece of work."Eva fell in love with the painting the minute she saw it, and she soon joined the bidding."One million!""One million and one hundred thousand!" Curran immediately made a bid.He wasn't ready to compromise. The bidding was tense. He was determined to acquire the painting.The price of the oil painting gradually soared as the bidding proceeded. In the end, Eva and Curran were the only bidders left.The two immediately became the center of everyone's attention.Becky was si
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 88 "The Rivals"
"All heads turned toward the source of the voice.When the guests saw Blake seated beside Eva, shock rippled through the room."Oh my God! Is that Blake? Why is he sitting next to Eva instead of in a private room?""He claimed that all the items Eva donated tonight were his.""There's something suspicious here. When they were married, he rarely took Eva out, and she was hardly known by many. Yet now, after their divorce, they're always seen together. It doesn't add up."While a few of them were examining the relationship between those two, the wise ones realized something."The identity of the donor seemed inconsequential; what resonated was that Blake had personally funded the items. His deliberate mention of this detail appeared aimed at refuting the narrative Becky had been spreading, suggesting a motive to assert his influence or protect Eva's reputation amidst the speculation surrounding their relationship post-divorce.""The opportunity to catch the attention of the CEO of Torre
The Heiress Reborn CHAPTER 87 "Dirty Bidding"
"Hey, cut it out!" he exclaimed, his tone sharp with suspicion. "Something tells me you're trying to stir up trouble here. How on earth can an emerald ring be worth just a dollar? Even a fake one would cost more than that!"Jenny sprang to her feet, her patience finally snapping as she turned sharply towards Becky.Becky sneered disdainfully, her expression dripping with contempt. She eyed Jenny from head to toe before shifting her gaze to Eva, her disdain evident in every glance."In my opinion, this emerald ring is worth no more than a dollar! You should be grateful I'm even bidding on it. The ring came from a country bumpkin who dropped out of middle school. Her possessions are worthless. It's utterly humiliating!"The other guests began to see sense in what Becky said. Those that wanted to bid for the ring gave up.No matter how exquisite the item was, they couldn't overlook the fact that its original owner was a countrywoman. The stigma associated with her background overshadowed
