"What are you doing? Let me go!" Julia's voice cracked with desperation as she screamed, the sound echoing off the high ceilings of the grand hall.

Bosco and Elliot held her tight from behind, their fingers digging into her arms with bruising force as they dragged her across the polished marble floor.

Her shoes scraped and skidded against the smooth surface, leaving faint black marks in their wake.

Her body jerked violently—left, then right as she fought against their iron grip with every ounce of strength she possessed, but the two brothers held on with a determination that revealed just how committed they were to overpowering her.

The guests watched in frozen horror, their champagne glasses suspended halfway to their lips, their conversations dying mid-sentence.

Some shifted uncomfortably, glancing toward the exits as if considering whether to intervene or flee.

Others simply stared, transfixed by the spectacle unfolding before them like witnesses to a public execution.

  • The Disowned Heiress    Chapter 66: Another Evidence Emerged

    Quietly, William dipped a hand into the inner pocket of his tailored coat and brought out a phone. The hall, which had been boiling with noise only moments ago, slowly sank into an uneasy silence, as if everyone sensed that whatever was coming next would not be light.“In addition to the accident video,” William said calmly, his voice steady but edged with something dark, “I also discovered the truth about the abuse Julia suffered in prison.”Julia’s head snapped up instantly. Until that moment, she had been holding herself together through sheer will, her spine straight, her chin lifted in defiance. But at those words, something flickered in her eyes. Shock. Pain. And a fear she thought she had buried deep enough never to resurface again.Bella, on the other hand, began to gasp audibly. Her breathing turned erratic, shallow, as though the air in the hall had suddenly thinned. She staggered half a step backward, clutching Jack’s arm unconsciously, her fingers digging into his sleev

    Jack shifted angrily, the muscles in his jaw tightening as his gaze locked onto Julia with unmistakable hostility. "Julia, you just have to drag Bella into this, don't you?" he asked, his voice loud enough to cut through the restless murmurs filling the grand hall. His tone carried layers of accusation, impatience, and something dangerously close to panic, a desperation that made his words sharper than perhaps he'd intended. Beside him, Bella was already gasping dramatically, her chest rising and falling in rapid succession as though the very air in the room had suddenly thinned to nothing. Her delicate fingers curled tightly into the expensive fabric of Jack's sleeve, gripping it like a lifeline, like an anchor in a storm only she could feel."Have you no shame at all?" Jack continued, his voice rising as he turned his body fully toward Julia now, squaring his shoulders as if preparing for battle. The question hung in the air like an indictment, meant to shame her into silence."

  • The Disowned Heiress    Chapter 64: When the Truth Refuses to Stay Buried

    Julia chuckled, her eyes fixed steadily on the faces before her. There was no fear in them, no hesitation, just a calm sharpness that cut through the tension in the hall. The phone rested lightly in her palm, yet to her audience, it felt heavier than any weapon.“Why not?” she asked softly, lifting the phone a little, as if reminding them of its presence.A murmur rippled through the hall. Guests exchanged uneasy glances, the earlier excitement now fully replaced by dread. Jack shifted where he stood, his jaw tightening as he turned his gaze away from Julia. For the first time since his arrival, he avoided her eyes. His hands slipped deeper into his pockets, his shoulders squaring as though he needed to brace himself.“Because this concerns both our families’ reputations,” Jack said finally, his voice firm but strained. He turned back to face her, forcing steadiness into his tone. “And Bella’s name. This kind of scandal will stain all of us. Including you.”Bella’s breathing quick

  • The Disowned Heiress    Chapter 63: The Truth They Refused to See

    Julia chuckled softly, her hands still folded across her chest, but the sound carried no amusement. It was dry, hollow, edged with disbelief. “So you’re admitting you hit Lisa and destroyed the evidence?” she asked calmly, her eyes fixed on Bella.Bella’s face drained of colour. Her lips trembled, and her whole body shook as though the floor beneath her had suddenly turned unstable. “I—I…” she started, her voice barely above a whisper.Before she could finish, an arm wrapped firmly around her shoulders from behind. Bella gasped and turned, only to see Jack standing there. The moment her eyes met his, she released a shaky breath, as if she had just been pulled back from the edge of a cliff.“Bella meant to say the dashcam got wrecked,” Jack said coldly, cutting in without hesitation. “So the video you showed is fake.” He slipped his hands into his pockets, his posture relaxed, but his eyes burned with hostility as they locked onto Julia. “Julia, you’re downright vicious. You framed B

  • The Disowned Heiress    Chapter 62: The Truth on the Screen

    The large screen at the front of the hall flickered once, then steadied, bathing the entire room in a cold white glow. Conversations died instantly. Even the clinking of glasses stopped, as if the air itself had been sucked out of the space. Every eye lifted toward the screen, drawn by a tension that suddenly felt heavier than fear.Instantly, the dashcam footage filled the screen.A sleek car sped through the night, the city lights blurring at the edges. Bella sat behind the wheel, one hand gripping it too tightly, the other holding a phone pressed to her ear. Her laughter rang through the speakers, careless and unsteady. “Hey, don’t worry. I’m not drunk,” she said, her voice loose, dismissive. The speedometer needle climbed higher. Outside, the traffic light ahead glowed red, steady and unforgiving.She didn’t slow down.Gasps erupted in the hall.From another angle on the screen, a red car approached the intersection, moving carefully, legally. Inside sat Lisa Collins. Her fac

  • The Disowned Heiress    Chapter 61: The Dashcam Evidence

    “Julia is under my protection,” William said, his voice low but solid, as he turned from Julia to face Jack fully. The faint clatter in the hall died instantly, as though every sound understood the weight behind those words. “Hurt her, and you’ll regret it.”The atmosphere in the hall shifted sharply. Until this moment, fear had worn many faces, but now something else crept in. Anticipation. Two powerful men stood opposite each other, each with a reputation that could silence rooms and ruin lives. Guests who had been whispering moments earlier now held their breath. Some clutched their bags closer, others leaned back instinctively, as though distance alone could shield them from the collision about to happen. Julia stood quietly between histories that had tried to break her, her spine straight, her expression unreadable.Jack released a slow breath and adjusted his stance, rolling his shoulders as though settling into a confrontation he had long anticipated. He folded his arms ac
