“Miranda,” Elizabeth whispered in her mind as she turned, meeting the young lady walking in majestically. “She didn't finish her off. Let this not be what I'm thinking.”

She could hear her heart pounding violently inside her chest, making every breath suddenly feel difficult.

Amber walked slowly before the crowd, her white gown flowing gracefully around her ankles with every confident step she took.

Oliver walked beside her like a shield, his presence calm and protective while his eyes careful

  • The Forgotten Heiress Returns   Chapter 74: The Truth Comes Out

    Three guests seated around one of the tables leaned closer together, speaking in hushed voices while staring toward Elizabeth.“I cannot believe this is happening here tonight,” the first lady whispered, her fingers covering her mouth as shock overwhelmed her.The man beside her glanced nervously around the ballroom before lowering his voice even further, afraid Elizabeth might hear their conversation.“Those letters look real to me,” he murmured, slowly folding his own paper while watching Elizabeth tremble before everybody.The third guest shook her head repeatedly, her eyes fixed on Elizabeth as though she were seeing another person entirely.“I knew something was wrong with that woman, but I never imagined something this serious,” she whispered, her voice filled with disbelief.Their quiet conversation continued beneath the louder whispers spreading throughout the ballroom, with every table now carrying its own version of the scandal.Elizabeth turned suddenly, meeting Amber's gaz

    “Miranda,” Elizabeth whispered in her mind as she turned, meeting the young lady walking in majestically. “She didn't finish her off. Let this not be what I'm thinking.” She could hear her heart pounding violently inside her chest, making every breath suddenly feel difficult.Amber walked slowly before the crowd, her white gown flowing gracefully around her ankles with every confident step she took.Oliver walked beside her like a shield, his presence calm and protective while his eyes carefully watched everyone gathered inside the ballroom.The sight of them together immediately changed the atmosphere, drawing every conversation toward them as curious guests turned their attention forward.Amber's face carried a calmness that almost looked peaceful, though there was something determined hiding beneath that beautiful expression.Oliver remained close enough to support her, silently reminding her that she did not have to face what came next alone.Elizabeth stared at them without blin

  • The Forgotten Heiress Returns   Chapter 72: The Engagement Night

    It was finally the night of Cornell and Amber's engagement, the long anticipated night everyone had been waiting to witness.The large ballroom of the Winchesters Group had been transformed into a breathtaking celebration filled with wealthy guests and important personalities.Crystal lights hung from the high ceiling, reflecting beautifully across the polished floor and making the entire hall glow.Servers moved quietly between the guests, carrying trays of drinks while soft music played gently in the background.The Winchester family stood together at one corner, speaking in voices barely louder than whispers while guests continued arriving.Elizabeth stood among them in a black glittering gown, holding a glass of wine she had barely touched.She looked elegant from a distance, yet her restless eyes revealed a woman whose mind was somewhere else entirely.Marian is not answering my calls. She thought silently, staring blankly toward the entrance as though expecting someone to appear

  • The Forgotten Heiress Returns   Chapter 71: The Murderer

    "Take her the hell away! She killed my wife!"The command tore through the room with such force that everyone seemed frozen for one brief second.Malcolm stood rigidly near the doorway, his face twisted with anger, disappointment, and years of buried resentment.His eyes remained fixed on Marian, carrying the weight of everything he had just discovered about Roselyn's death.The officers immediately moved toward Marian, lifting her from the floor and securing her hands behind her back.One officer held her firmly while his colleague reached for the handcuffs and locked them around her trembling wrists."Ma'am, you're under arrest for the murder of Roselyn Shaw." The officer said as his colleague coffed her. "You have the right to remain silent or whatever you say or do will and can be used against you in the court of law."The official words sounded cold and final, leaving Marian staring at the officers as though she could somehow wake from the nightmare.Her breathing became uneven w

  • The Forgotten Heiress Returns   Chapter 70: Under Arrest

    "What do you think?" Amber asked, her gun remaining pointed at Marian. She then shifted a bit away from them, patiently waiting.Marian remained completely still, her hands raised above her shoulders while her frightened eyes stayed fixed upon Amber. The confidence she had carried into the bedroom only moments earlier had completely disappeared from her face."I guess you didn't drink the milk," Marian said, her breathing coming in quick gasps, her hands raised in total surrender.Amber watched her carefully, her expression showing neither fear nor surprise at the desperate explanation Marian had offered."Did you really think that the same trick would work twice?" Amber asked, her voice low but firm. "The milk is delicious. And as for my mother's death, I know everything." She bit her lips with anger, the gun remaining pointed at Marian.The words struck Marian harder than the weapon itself, leaving her searching desperately for another way out. Zoe exchanged a scared glance with her

  • The Forgotten Heiress Returns   Chapter 69: Open Confession

    Late at midnight, Marian tiptoed into Amber's room. Her daughter, Zoe followed behind, both keeping their steps quiet.The entire house had fallen into deep silence, with only the faint sounds of the night coming through the windows.Marian moved carefully across the room, making sure neither her footsteps nor the movement of her clothes disturbed Amber.Zoe followed closely behind her, occasionally looking toward the hallway with nervous eyes while trying to understand what Marian had planned.Marian smiled as her eyes caught the glass cup on top of the table beside the bed.She slowly walked closer to the table, her eyes remaining fixed on the empty glass with satisfaction.It was empty. Obviously, Amber took the bait.A satisfied smile spread across Marian's face as she looked toward the bed.Amber lay on the bed, sleeping, her back turned away to the wall.Her body remained completely still beneath the blanket, giving Marian the impression that everything had gone exactly accordin
