All Chapters of Jilted Heiress Strikes Back: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Meanwhile, at Elaris International Airport Parking Zone – A fleet of matte black vehicles idled in the secluded parking lane. At the center was a heavily modified Rolls-Royce Cullinan, its polished grille and Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament gleaming beneath the terminal lights, flanked by a dozen men in tactical gear. Silent. Alert. Trained.The rear door clicked open. Sunlight—dimmed by the horizon—glanced off the metal trim and spilled across the man seated inside, gilding his tailored suit in a warm, deceptive glow.Rael stepped forward, tension radiating from his frame. “We underestimated her, sir. The intel was weak—we only had a single rear-view image to go off. She vanished into the crowd before we could close in.”An oppressive pause followed.Orion. A ghost in the medical world. Whispers of her brilliance had surfaced only months ago. Rael had spent a small fortune securing even a partial photograph.Last week, encrypted chatter hinted at her return to Estravia. Knowing the y

That comment instantly charged the atmosphere, and people’s impressions of Raina shifted.Rumor had it she’d given up after being disfigured, becoming meek. But clearly, that wasn’t true.Mireille hadn’t expected Raina to come back so strong. She had no comeback and quickly changed the subject.“Sis, how’s your face healing? I’ve always worried people abroad would discriminate against you because of your looks.”Sounds like concern, but really it was a jab calling Raina ugly.Raina stayed silent. Mireille grew bolder, “Sis, it’s been years. Aren’t you going to take off the mask and let me see?”The crowd, sensing a spectacle, started chanting:“Take off the mask! Take off the mask!”Mireille smirked, feeling even more confident now — once Raina’s face was exposed, she’d have her completely underfoot.Raina raised an eyebrow slightly, voice calm, “You sure you want me to take off my mask… in front of everyone?”Mireille kept up the act, cooing, “Sis, don’t worry, no matter how ugly you

Mireille’s eyes were bloodshot, veins bursting vividly. Suddenly, she lunged at Raina. Her delicate, seemingly boneless hands were now convulsing, her knuckles whitening as she snapped lightning-fast at Raina’s neck.But before her fingers could touch Raina, a hand intercepted her.Mireille jerked her head up abruptly, her face flashing with shock. She hissed, “You…”Crack—The sharp sound of bone breaking rang out suddenly.Mireille screamed in agony, cold sweat pouring down her forehead, yet she refused to give up. Her eyes blazed with fury as she glared at Raina. “How dare you! Raina, you filthy—”Raina had just crushed one of her arm bones with a single hand!How was that even possible?Raina didn’t even glance at her. Calmly, she wiped her fingers and said, “As you can see, there’s nothing I’m afraid of now. So, Second Miss Carrington, you’d better not come after me again. Because next time, the price won’t be just one broken arm.”With that, Raina turned and walked away.Mireille

“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

Luckily, aside from this strange painting, there wasn’t anything else bizarre in the hall. Raina pulled her gaze away, trying to put Gale down.But Gale wasn’t having it. Raina had strong arms and holding him wasn’t a burden, so she just kept carrying him.Leif gave her a quick tour of the villa and said, “Gale’s room is upstairs on the second floor. I’ve already had the adjacent room prepared, so Miss Carrington, you can stay right next to him for now.”Raina was here for Gale, so living next to him was naturally most convenient.She nodded. “Okay.”“It’s getting late. Miss Carrington, get some rest...” Leif glanced at Gale and said, “Gale, come down. Don’t disturb Miss Carrington. She needs to rest.”Gale understood and, though reluctant to let go, obediently loosened his grip.Leif took Gale’s hand. “Miss Carrington, if you get hungry, there’s a kitchen downstairs.”The kitchen, huh...Well, embarrassing to admit, but Raina’s cooking skills were pretty terrible. Not that she hadn’t
