All Chapters of The Heiress Reborn: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

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

"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

"Mom," he began, his gaze fixed on some invisible point in the distance, "have you reached a decision? Going to court is a gamble we might not win. In all likelihood, it'll just cost us more in the long run."Jackie's heart broke when she realized she would lose more money. After all, she didn't want to give a single penny to Eva.Swallowing her pride and apologizing in public felt like a humiliating defeat. She'd rather take the blame silently than risk losing face.Jackie felt losing money was better than carrying the humiliation for the rest of her life."Fine. How much does that woman want?""Twenty million dollars." Blake said indifferently."Twenty million dollars?!" Jackie exploded, her voice echoing through the room. "Is she out of her mind? This is highway robbery, not a lawsuit! Everyone will know what she's doing - this is pure blackmail!""There's another factor to consider, Mom," he began, his gaze fixed on a point beyond her shoulder. "If this goes to court, the potent

The past few days had been a simmering pot of emotions for Eva. On the surface, she remained quiet, a mask of composure hiding the turmoil within. But beneath it all, her mind raced with strategies, waiting for the opportune moment to strike back.Diego misinterpreted Eva's quiet demeanor as weakness. Emboldened by her perceived submissiveness, his arrogance inflated with each passing meeting. His comments grew increasingly pointed, his tone laced with a newfound condescension. Yet, Eva remained an enigma.Diego and Eva's plan was difficult to implement. He constantly asked her to revise it and began bossing her around."The complete removal of trees is unacceptable! This project needs to prioritize sustainability. We absolutely must replant trees and find ways to make this space environmentally responsible. Revise it!""To break up the monotony, consider incorporating diverse entertainment venues. A rooftop bar with a stunning city view or a multi-purpose ballroom could be great addi

A dark glint flickered in Diego's eyes as Eva brought the glass of beverage to her lips. It wasn't excitement, not entirely. There was a hunger in his gaze, a predatory quality that sent a shiver down Eva's spine despite the warmth of the liquid. Her hand paused mid-air, the glass hovering inches from her mouth.Eva raised the glass to her lips, her eyes flitting nervously between Diego and the window across the room. With a practiced flick of her wrist, barely perceptible, she nudged a ceramic ornament on the table's edge. It tumbled with a clatter, shattering on the floor.The fork beside her fell to the floor.Eva yelped, a perfectly executed cry of surprise that momentarily filled the room. "Oh, no! I am so sorry, Mr. Chen," she gushed, her voice laced with faux-mortification. She set the untouched beverage down with a theatrical clatter "Such a klutz, am I right?" she cast a playful glance at Diego, her bright smile failing to reach her eyes. A predatory glint flickered in Dieg
