Rhea's Pov

My heels dug into the wet grass, Alaric’s footsteps crunching close behind mine. The air was thick with smoke and tension, and the further we ran, the darker it got. The manor lights didn’t reach this far. Just trees, a gravel path, and the eerie glint of moonlight reflecting off the lake.

The figure was fast. They moved like someone who knew the terrain. Maybe there were the ones who planted whatever it was that blew up the manor!

We followed the path back toward the lake, but the figure had already vanished. I slowed my pace, panting softly as I reached the edge of a stone fence. The wind tugged at my hair and Alaric’s jacket wrapped around me, but the chill running down my spine had nothing to do with the breeze.

“Where did they go?” I murmured.

“There’s nowhere to go from here…” Alaric stepped up beside me, squinting into the trees, “This is a dead end.”

My eyes darted around. There was no one. Just rocks, shadows, and the moon’s reflection coming from the lake. I look

  • CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!   Chapter 249

    Rhea's Pov “Rhea!” Howard roared, veins popping out on his forehead and neck, his eyes were bloodshot, “Ginny is your sister!” “Sister? Mr Thorne, did you forget that you wanted to disown me a few days ago? How come I have a sister now?” I crossed my arms with a smile, and an extreme sense of satisfaction filling me up as I watched Ginny suffer. My eyes remained locked on him, drinking in every twitch of his furious face. And then it came back to me, crystal clear. A memory slipped in. Months ago, Howard was on his knees in my office, his voice hoarse, his pride cast aside. Begging and pleading. Asking me to help Ginny when she had gone to jail. I let out a laugh, bitter and soft, shaking my head, “Ah… yes. I remember now. You were in this exact same position before, weren’t you, Father? Bowing your head, swallowing your pride all to protect Ginny.”I leaned forward, my smile sharper now, my words deliberate, “What a pure love between father and daughter. Touching, really. But you

    Rhea's Pov Silence. For once, they had no words. Howard’s face twitched, his jaw going slack for a moment as if he hadn’t heard me right. Rachel’s hand, which had been reaching toward mine, recoiled midair, trembling. And Ginny, well, she blew up immediately. “You… What?” She choked, voice high and shaky, “You want them to disown me? You’re insane, Rhea!” I didn't look at her. I kept my eyes locked on Howard, the man who had so effortlessly discarded me when it was convenient, now wringing his hands like a merchant caught in a bad trade. “Well?” I asked softly, still smiling, “Is it really that hard, Father? You already said you'd do anything to get the company back.” Rachel opened her mouth to talk. It seems like she thought I was joking or something because there was a soft smile on her lips, and her tone changed to sound like a mother who was trying to tell her child that bad things could happen if that child didn't listen to her, “Rhea, this… This is something big. Why no

    Rhea's Pov Ginny sneered, her voice dripping with venom, “Do you think Alaric will protect you once the whole city knows what kind of woman you are? We’ll make sure every single person hears the truth, how you stabbed your own family in the back, how you schemed like a snake to destroy us. You’ll be ruined, Rhea. Your name will be mud. No one will want to be associated with you.”Rachel’s voice lowered, colder, more calculated, “You’ll lose everything. Your engagement, your reputation, your place in this family. You’ll be nothing but a shameful stain.”Howard leaned forward, pointing a trembling finger at me, his tone trembling with barely restrained fury.“You have one chance. Convince Alaric Vale to invest. Or we cut you off, Rhea. We’ll tear that smug face off its pedestal and grind you into the dirt where you belong.”The three of them glared at me, spitting poison and threats, circling me like hyenas desperate to devour flesh.And me? I only sat there, legs crossed, my fingers i

    Rhea's Pov My brows knit together. I stared at him, my head tilting slightly, trying to piece through his frantic rambling.“Investment?” I repeated softly, tasting the word like it was poison on my tongue, “You want me to help you get an investment from Alaric?” I repeated, trying to see if I heard wrongly. “Yes!” Howard jumped in, his voice gaining momentum the more he spoke, “Think about it. Alaric doesn’t even need to invest that much, his name alone will attract other investors. Banks will relax their restrictions, and a lot of things will get done. It’ll restore confidence in the market. You know how valuable that is, Rhea. You’ve always been smart enough to understand.”He continued, faster now, almost babbling. Ginny joined in, nodding furiously beside him, her voice sharp.“He’s right! Don’t waste this chance, Rhea. Do you think we’d come here if it wasn’t serious? Do you think we’d risk our dignity begging you in a hospital ward if the situation wasn’t dire? Alaric is your

    Rhea's Pov “Let's us in! We are here to see Rhea, she's my daughter! Let us in!” Yells came from outside the door, echoing in the room. I groaned, my head banging with a headache. Who the hell was screaming like this in a hospital. “You can't go in! Visiting time is over and she's a patient who is asleep, you can't go in! Leave now or security will be called to throw you all out!” A female voice said calmly, her voice very soothing. I could listen to that voice all day long. “I don't care! I'm here to see my daughter!” A very familiar voice sounded in my ears, making me open my eyes instantly. I sat up slowly, panting after the little workout of sitting up. Then I glanced at the door, my ears perking up. “Let us go in! It's urgent!” Another voice but this time, it was a female voice. Ginny? What was Ginny doing here? Then that means the other male voice I heard just now was my father? My eyes narrowed slightly, what happened for them to be sounding this panicked. If there was one

    Rhea's Pov Alaric nodded and turned towards the remaining men who were standing behind us, “Seven of you should go to the address Rhea tells you. Once you get there, make sure that you capture the two people hiding there, don't let any one of them run away. Also, contact Nathan and tell him to lead the police to the Laurent's, as they have a case to look at. Under no circumstances should those involved in this escape. The rest of you, wait here so the buyers who are meant to come will be brought to the station the moment they are caught.” Alaric's voice boomed in the clearing. He was right, the remaining men staying here should be able to catch those human traffickers. “As for you!” Alaric placed his left hand under my bust and the right under my knees so with one strong movement, I was positioned in a princess carry, “We have to go to the hospital to check your wounds.” “I…” “Don't even dare to resist. No matter what, you're going with me.” Alaric glared at me, his tone leaving
