Lies From Her Heart Chapter 9
After a moment's silence, "Heidi" let out a derisive scoff. "What's the fuss? Do you actually think you can lay a hand on me? I have powerful people—"Before she could finish speaking, someone suddenly lunged forward. It was Frank. Without a shred of hesitation, he struck her hard across the face. "You bitch! How dare you harm my sister-in-law!"A cold chuckle escaped me. "There's no point pretending anymore."Did you honestly think that staying in the shadows would keep you safe?"Don't forget—you had a hand in Heidi's death as well."My words drew Frank's attention, and he turned to look at me. His throat bobbed nervously as he asked, "Daniella, what exactly do you mean by that?"My anger surged as I stared at the two of them. "After all these years on the run, did you really think your past would remain hidden?"Frank had always been ruthless. Many of the businesses he seized from the Pruett family were connected to criminal operations. He was anything but honorable.It hadn

Everyone froze. Suddenly, all eyes were on me.I nodded. "I accept your proposal."Dad raised an eyebrow, clearly baffled. "Daniella, you've never gotten along with this man. What makes you want to involve yourself with him now?"A smile tugged at the corner of my lips. "Once I marry into the Pruett family, our status in Jansenburg will rise. What's the harm in that?"As I spoke, I couldn't help but steal a glance at Heidi. Her face was a mixture of shock and disbelief. "N-No! Mom! Dad! They can't get married!" she protested.Meanwhile, our parents seemed unfazed by her outburst. "Well, since Daniella has made her choice, there's little we can do to stop it. Shall we set a date?""I've already looked into it. Tomorrow works," Vernon interjected.With everything laid out in advance, the entire process proceeded without a hitch.Heidi, on the other hand, was in full panic mode. She darted to an empty corner and dialed Frank's number. "Frank! Your brother is going to marry my sist

As I saw Caleb's message, a surge of excitement ran through me. "Tell me everything," I quickly responded.The typing notification blinked on the screen. After a few moments, his reply came through. "The Pruett family has an illegitimate son who has been living away from them. After being brought back, he swiftly acquired 45% of Pruett Group's shares.""He's currently the largest shareholder of the company. If he gains support from another 10% of the shareholders, he'll have full control of the family's business. It's safe to assume that the male voice you overheard belonged to Frank Pruett."Everything suddenly made sense. Heidi's ambition to become the heiress was driven by her desire to marry Frank.Once Frank was tied to my family, he'd have no trouble securing the support of more shareholders.Still, I couldn't help but wonder why Frank would pick Heidi over anyone else.It was clear that there was more to their relationship than either of them was willing to admit.Frank w

At the gala, Heidi's luxurious gown captured everyone's attention. She was undeniably the focus of the evening.She wanted to solidify her standing as the second daughter of the Limebear family in the eyes of Jansenburg's young elite.Nonetheless, revealing her identity wasn't the only objective I had in mind."Truth be told, she's nothing more than a spoiled princess who depends on her family's influence. She doesn't have any real power.""So, is she what they call 'just a pretty face'? If that's the case, she doesn't even hold a candle to Ms. Daniella."As the crowd's whispers buzzed in the air, Heidi's expression soured. Suddenly, a realization hit her, and she turned her gaze toward me.I pretended not to care, a subtle smile tugging at the corner of my lips. From across the room, I lifted my glass, offering her a silent toast.The truth was, I had no real interest in these events. To me, they were nothing more than social spectacles meant to bolster family reputations and b

The thought sent a chill down my spine. No matter what the truth turned out to be, Heidi was undoubtedly more complicated than she appeared. Throughout the years she spent away from home, she must have gone through countless experiences that shaped who she had become.Realizing I hadn't responded, the police officer on the line reassured me, "Don't worry, Ms. Limebear. I'll keep investigating this matter. If any new information comes to light, I'll contact you immediately.""Thanks," I said quietly before ending the call. I began mentally sorting through the long list of enemies my family had accumulated over the years.Given how long we'd been in business, it wouldn't be shocking if we'd pissed off quite a few people in Jansenburg. Even so, only a few had the power to pull strings with the police.It didn't take long for me to settle on one suspect—the Pruett family. I typed out my suspicions in a message and sent it to the police officer I had spoken with earlier."Noted," cam

The moment our parents appeared, Heidi immediately recoiled. Her voice quivered as she asked, "Dad… Mom… What are you doing here?"As Dad looked at the scene before him, his face contorted with disbelief. "Heidi, what on earth is going on here?"Tears welled up in Mom's eyes as she rushed to help me to my feet. "Daniella, are you okay? Please, don't scare me like this!"Heidi swallowed hard. In an instant, she darted behind Dad. "Dad, you're here!" she exclaimed.Just before the blond thug could speak, Heidi scowled and shot him a pointed look.Without saying a single word, the thugs began to walk away. What they didn't know was that I had already contacted the police. Before they could get far, police officers surrounded them from every direction.Moments later, I was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. In reality, I hadn't lost consciousness; I'd only pretended to pass out to uncover Heidi's true nature.The doctor eventually confirmed that the shock had caused me
