“Ma’am, you’re the one who’s out of your mind. You’ve been following Mr. Vexley around like a shadow—now you’re asking where he lives? Just like all those other women! Honestly, I think you’re nothing but a con artist with zero medical skills. Mr. Vexley, don’t let someone this shallow fool you! Gunter will be here any minute!”

Rael rolled his eyes so hard, it was a wonder they didn’t pop out.

Gunter Borbon was the Vexley’s private doctor.

Raina said nothing but gave Rael the exact same eye-roll back. Arms crossed, she deadpanned, “Like I said, detoxing this poison takes time. And while I do that, I have to stay by the kid’s side to make sure nothing goes wrong. Asking if Mr. Vexley’s been staying here, or where he lives, is just practical — it helps me do my job.”

Rael choked on his own blush, his face turning so red it could light up the whole room. Totally embarrassed.

Next thing he knew, a thin golden needle flashed out of nowhere and silently plunged into his forehead before he c

  • Jilted Heiress Strikes Back   Might As Well… Let Them All Die

    After a while, Raina finally stood up from the ground, brushed the dust off her clothes, turned, and said, “Let’s go back. There’s still a lot to do.”Ian looked confused. “A lot to do? What... what else can we possibly do?”Helpless. Powerless.They wanted to save people, but they couldn’t save even one. These people were already completely lost to madness.They had achieved nothing. It was a total failure.The man silently stared at Raina, as if wanting to speak, but in the end, said nothing at all.Raina raised her voice. “Ian, from now on, don’t get involved.”Ian looked at her sharply, his heart pounding violently. “Why?”He couldn’t shake the feeling that something about Raina had subtly changed. She wasn’t quite the same as the always-confident, always-smiling girl he knew, though he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was different.Raina didn’t look at him. “No reason. Just don’t get involved. If you ever get the chance to leave, then leave. Forget everything here. Start a new lif

  • Jilted Heiress Strikes Back   Dust to Dust

    Raina glanced at him through the rearview mirror. Though she didn’t want to shatter Ian’s hope, the truth was—they no longer had the luxury of retreat.She said, “You know it too, Ian. There’s no going back for us.”Ian tried to respond, but not a word came out. After a long pause, he finally whispered, “Why… why did it turn out like this? I really don’t understand. We were doing the right thing. So why… why did it all end up like this? Raina, did we… did we make a mistake from the start? Maybe… maybe we never should’ve gotten involved… maybe…”But deep down, both he and Raina knew—there was no ‘maybe.’Even if they made it out alive, this place would haunt them for the rest of their lives.The driver suddenly spoke: ‘If I could get you out of here, would you take that chance?’Ian froze, blinking blankly. “W-What did you say? You can get us out? Is that real? Didn’t Briar say the last chance to leave was already gone? Are you lying?”The man replied, “I’m not lying. But whether you g

  • Jilted Heiress Strikes Back   Couldn't Go Home

    Clang—clang—A bone flute, no one knew when it had been hung from the shattered window, clinked and clattered in the wind, sending an eerie chill down everyone’s spine."Aaaaahhhhh!"Ian clutched his head in his hands and finally couldn't hold back a scream.No one knew how much time passed before Raina slowly got up from the ground. Her whole body was trembling, yet she still walked step by step toward the empty skeleton lying before her.Eli was dead. In this kind of way.Raina’s hand hadn’t even touched the bones yet, but it was already shaking uncontrollably. She tried to untie the rope binding the remains, but her trembling fingers simply couldn’t manage it.At that moment, a hand reached out and helped undo the loosely tied knot.It was a right hand, with a black ring on the third finger.Raina slowly lifted her gaze. She saw a gaunt, bloodless face under a pair of gold-rimmed glasses perched on a high-bridged nose. The man said nothing as he gently took the skeletal remains dow

  • Jilted Heiress Strikes Back   Don’t Let Him Die

    Raina didn’t want to respond. She kept staring blankly at the sky. She had never felt so exhausted—so utterly, soul-deep weary. From the depths of her heart, she suddenly felt that she never wanted to meddle in anything again. Never wanted to step forward again. Never wanted to play the hero ever again.The faint white glow on the phone screen dimmed—but then lit up again almost immediately.Ian had already wiped away his tears. “Answer it,” he said. “What if it’s something urgent…”But everyone knew in their hearts—at this point, what could possibly still count as urgent?People had started to lose faith in them. The once-fervent, worshipful gazes had turned dull, even hostile. Disbelief and resentment had taken their place.Everyone was just trying to survive. Life itself was a constant battle—who had time to wait around for a miracle that not even the miracle workers could promise?Raina glanced down. The call was from an unknown number. She hesitated, but still picked up. “Hello?”

  • Jilted Heiress Strikes Back   The Price of Kindness

    "The way I see it, that’s nonsense. If they really had a solution, they would’ve used it by now. So many people wouldn’t have died. What kind of people are they? If you never intended to save us, then don’t come out and pretend you could! All that ‘trust us’ talk… tch! Disgusting!”Finally, someone dared to speak a different opinion.But as soon as the voice rang out, the speaker shrank back into the crowd. Looking around at the sea of people, it was impossible to tell who had spoken just moments ago.Still, once the first voice spoke, there was bound to be a second. And a third…Another person said, “Yeah, honestly, I’ve been holding it in for a while now. I just didn’t say anything. But now that someone’s finally called it out—truth is, she’s just not up to it. She should stop pretending to be a hero…”Someone else chimed in, “I heard the reason the original expert team left was because of them. If we’d known they’d leave us with a disaster, we never would’ve believed her.”Another

  • Jilted Heiress Strikes Back   The Last Stand

    Unknowingly, two lines of tears streamed down Ian’s face. Even as tears fell from his eyes, he still refused to give up. He said, choking on emotion, “Even if it’s like this… it still… it still can’t be right, can it? If we leave, what happens to these people? They’ll… they’ll just die… we can’t… I can’t do that. I really… I’d regret it for the rest of my life…”He had never been this disheveled before.But right now, he couldn’t care less about appearances. By the end of his words, he could no longer speak. He clutched his head in both hands, pulling at his hair in frustration.Beyond that, he didn’t know what else he could do.Briar let out a snort, his voice weary. “Do you really want me to spell it out for you? Fine, I’ll say it—there’s one last evacuation opportunity in an hour. If you don’t leave by then, you’re stuck here for good. Got it? That’s all I can do now.”Ian suddenly lifted his tear-streaked face and looked intently at Raina. His voice stammered as he said, “No… I’m
