All Chapters of Jilted Heiress Strikes Back: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

This time, Old Master Croft could no longer smile.After a long pause, he seemed to lose his balance and swayed slightly. It took effort for him to steady himself. Rocky tried to support him, but he brushed his hand away.He sighed and said, “Isn’t this better? I die alone, and everything disappears with me—what’s so bad about that? Must he know that everything he believed, everything he did, was wrong? That all he trusted was false? That he cannot hate, cannot let go, cannot forget… Do you really think it's good for him to spend the rest of his life trapped in pain, regret, and guilt?”He let out a bitter smile and shook his head. “He suffered tragedy since he was a child—his whole family died unjustly. I couldn’t save them, so I’m to blame. I brought him home but failed to care for him properly and let him be manipulated—my fault again. I watched him stray further and further down a blood-stained path, yet couldn’t stop him. Still my fault. All the blame and punishment, let it fall

Raina smiled and said, “Precisely because you were too useless, you were cast out of the Croft family. But you were unwilling to accept it, so you clung to a chance for revenge. And in the end—what did it amount to?”She kept her gentle smile as she spoke coolly, “Whether it was back then or today, you lost. Completely, utterly lost. You’ll always be a rat flailing in the gutter, and never someone who can stand at the top.”Keegan’s fists clenched so hard they cracked. A flash of cold light crossed his eyes as he ground his teeth and hissed, “You’re asking for death!”Before the words had even faded, a glint of silver flashed—suddenly a short knife appeared in Keegan’s hand. Without any warning, he lunged at Raina, thrusting the blade toward her.But the knife never reached her. A hand with defined knuckles, the third finger adorned with a black ring, shot out and caught the blade mid-air.Raina’s pupils shrank to tiny pinpoints, her heart thundering, her fingertips trembling slightly

Keegan's eyes glinted with malice as he shouted, "Yes! No one is born wanting to be a bad person—cough cough—if it weren’t for that useless Reegan pushing me to a dead end, if he hadn’t forced me to… to watch the woman I loved most be taken by him—cough cough cough—I wouldn’t have turned out like this. It’s all… all your fault!"He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, overwhelmed by rage and turmoil. The hatred in his eyes burned more wildly than ever.For a moment, Old Master Croft didn’t know how to respond.Then, a cold voice rang out from the side. "You wanted revenge—fine. But why me?"Rayden slowly raised his head, eyes fixed on Keegan, teeth clenched. "Why did you come after me?!"Keegan let out a hollow laugh. Though his grip on Old Master Croft’s collar was slipping, he refused to let go."Still asking such a stupid question at this point? Nothing in this world has a perfect reason. But if you really want to know, I’ll tell you. I found out the truth about your background f

Raina helped Leif up the stairs, being careful not to touch his injuries. She gently bathed him, changed him into clean clothes, and then carefully re-dressed his wounds. When she unwrapped the bandage and saw the deep gash in his palm—so deep she could almost see the bone—her heart twisted like crumpled rice paper that no matter how hard you try, you can’t smooth out. All these injuries… he took them for her. He might say it didn’t hurt, that it was no big deal—but with wounds that deep? That serious? There’s no way it wasn’t painful. Raina always thought she had a high pain tolerance, but standing in front of this man, she realized she didn’t even come close. Once the bandage was secure and everything cleaned up, she began tidying the medical supplies and said softly, “Your hand is seriously hurt, and with that head injury too… maybe you should sit this one out. Let me go look for the Widow's Bloom on my own.” Anyone else would’ve been stuck in bed with wounds like that—how cou

Leif didn’t respond. He pressed a hand to his ear, and only then did Raina notice that he had a small black earpiece in his left ear—almost imperceptible unless you looked closely. So yesterday, it was through this device that he had found his way onto the stage to save her? Soon, Leif lowered his hand. After a moment of silence, Raina finally heard him speak. He said, “Old Master Croft is dead.” Raina was stunned. She had only been suspicious of Old Master Croft’s long absence from the public eye. And based on some clues she’d received from Elias, she had guessed that Old Master Croft’s health might be failing. That was why she’d asked Briar to prepare a medicinal pill to be sent as a birthday gift. But after the chaos at the Croft residence last night, her gift had likely been buried among the offerings, never reaching Old Master Croft’s hands. She hadn’t expected that his condition was already that dire—that his life was hanging by a thread. Perhaps the sudden upheaval had e
