All Chapters of Jilted Heiress Strikes Back: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

The flavor was… definitely unique—most people would probably go their entire lives without experiencing such a “distinctive” cookie.Leif had likely gone numb by this point. He nodded slightly and said, “Mm, it’s a very special flavor.”Raina beamed, waving her hand proudly. “There’s more in the kitchen! If you like it, I can bake them for you all the time.”Leif paused for half a second, then gave a mild, “Okay.”Then, without complaint, he lowered his head and took another bite of the unfortunate cookie. Seeing that, Raina grew even more confident. Sure, the cookies looked a little questionable—but taste-wise? Maybe they weren’t that bad after all.Maybe it was Leif’s gentle encouragement, or maybe her own stubborn optimism, but something sparked inside her. Maybe her baking wasn’t a lost cause.She picked up her own cookie, raised it to her lips, and took a bite.Instantly—ptoo!She spat it right back out.An unholy blend of flavors exploded in her mouth—spicy, bitter, strangely fi

Leif was well-informed, seemingly omniscient about everything under the heavens, something Raina had long since gotten used to. But when she suddenly heard the words ‘Crimson Hollow’ come out of his mouth, a trace of suppressed pain flickered in her eyes, and the back of her hand began to tremble as she subconsciously clenched her fist.Just then, Leif's voice came again. He said, “A long time ago, that place was called Abyssreach.”Abyssreach – Sounds like a city at the edge of a void or hell.Raina glanced sideways at him and said, “Even the heaviest rain can’t bring life to rootless grass. And no amount of faith can save someone with no reason to be saved. Abyssreach doesn't offer mercy—yet somehow, it still refuses to abandon those marked by fate.”She paused, her gaze drifting, brows tightening slightly. “If there really were gods or angels watching over us—if divine power could raise the dead or heal shattered bones—then why do they let people die? Why do they look away? Isn’t i

Reid unconsciously clenched his fists, as if thinking of something, and turned his head away stubbornly like he was sulking with someone. “No need. I’ll drink my wine. What would I want her for?”Callum raised an eyebrow. “Really no need?”Reid gave him a glare and let out a couple of meaningless grunts. “I said no need, so no need! Why are you so talkative? Are we drinking or not? If not, I’m going by myself.”Callum grinned. “We’re going, we’re going! Let’s go!”As the two stepped out of the room, Reid glanced sideways at the room across the hall, snorted, and turned to leave.Callum looked at the door beside him, then at Reid, and deliberately raised his voice, “Reid, you’re terrible with directions. Don’t walk so fast—wait for me!”It was funny, really. Reid had no sense of direction. No matter how many times he walked a road, he could still get lost. Going out alone was basically a disaster, which was why the Watkins family rarely let him go out on his own since childhood.From t

There were many people out on the street. All around her were swaying heads in the crowd. Raina squeezed her way through the throng, glancing around as she went. The din of the crowd—bursts of laughter, children crying, playful shouting—rang in her ears like a chaotic symphony, pounding at her eardrums.The main street wasn’t long. She got lost in the sea of people, pushing her way from one end to the other, scanning countless unfamiliar faces—none of them Reid.Her heart and eyelids were both pounding. She was almost at the end of the street and still hadn’t found him. Frustration and restlessness welled up inside her.There was no call from Callum either—clearly, he hadn’t found Reid either.Standing at the street entrance, Raina turned around. All she could see were strangers—unfamiliar faces. Above her, the lights were dazzling and splendid. Everything in front of her felt oddly familiar, down to the emotion stirring in her chest.Back then, she hadn’t been able to find Reid under

Leif was completely soaked by the rain. Not only were his slippers on the wrong feet, but they were also drenched and covered in mud and dust, looking utterly filthy.As the dignified head of the Vexley Group, he had probably never looked this disheveled in his entire life.Rainwater dripped steadily onto the ground.Leif lowered his head and said, “Help me to the bathroom. I can change into something dry by myself… What are you doing?!”Seeing that he wasn’t moving, Raina stepped forward and began undressing him herself.Under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t have cared too much—after all, Leif was a grown man, and getting caught in the rain wouldn’t normally be a big deal. But now, with a head injury—though the wound was covered and hadn’t gotten wet—things weren’t so simple. And considering the cuts and bruises all over him, if his wet clothes weren’t taken off quickly to check for infection, it could get serious.Leif seemed reluctant to let her touch him, but as if something had
