Lahat ng Kabanata ng CEO Wants Me: Heiress Has Risen Again!: Kabanata 241 - Kabanata 250

Rhea's Pov Her eyes widened, disbelief flickering through her tears, but I pressed on.“Even Alaric has killed people before.” I reminded her, my tone almost mocking, “And yet, here we are, standing on the same ground, breathing the same air. You and I, Fiona, we are birds of the same feather. Murderers, betrayers, avengers. Whatever name you want to give us, it’s the same blood that stains us. So who am I to judge what you have done?” She might have done wrong, but it was the villagers who were even more wrong. I wasn't trying to justify her but years of hatred and seeing the people who had tortured you in the worst way possible live their life to the fullest would ignite more hatred in you. Her lips parted soundlessly, as though she wanted to deny it but couldn’t find the words. Her chest rose and fell, ragged, as the weight of my laughter lingered between us.I leaned closer, my eyes boring into hers, “So don’t speak to me like you’re doomed, like you’re beyond redemption, as if

Alaric's Pov I raised the small recording device, waving it in the air. Everyone turned to stare, even Rhea. Her wide eyes were filled with shock and she walked towards me, placing her palms on my arm, the child still in her embrace. “You took a recording of what they said?” “Mhm.” I nodded, “I knew that you were coming here to investigate the human trafficking case so then admitting it would be hard. I was already planning on coming here to meet you in the first place but due to your injury, I came here earlier than expected. Since roads have been built, I brought a few men and told them to stay nearby, but at the same time, out of sight. I didn't want to to alarm them of what we were doing. However, I brought a few devices with me just in case. During my investigation, I saw that their movements were a bit suspicious so I had the device on me and sure enough, I fell unconscious after eating a ‘snack’ they gave to me. However, I wasn't sure if they would also do the same to you

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 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 “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
