All Chapters of Jilted Heiress Strikes Back: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Outside the inn, a few off-road vehicles were parked in small clusters. Apart from the one belonging to Reid and his group, the others were all clearly modified—evidently here for the same purpose: searching for the elusive Widow's Bloom.While the exterior of the inn felt eerie and shadowy, the inside was warm and brightly lit. The moment the door swung open, a rush of welcoming heat washed over them, starkly different from the cold outside.At the front desk sat a woman—the owner of the Meeting Again Inn.The owner was strikingly dressed, vibrant but not vulgar. When she saw Raina helping Leif inside, she quickly stood up and greeted them enthusiastically, “Hey, welcome, honored guests, to the Meeting Again Inn.”The guests who came through this inn were often strange, sometimes even suspicious, but the owner had long gotten used to it—she simply focused on running her business.Raina helped Leif to a seat nearby before walking up to the front desk. “Ms. Sutton, we’d like a room.”T

Leif couldn’t see, but he still turned his head slightly toward Reid, giving the illusion that the two were locked in a face-off.He casually brushed aside the empty glass in front of him and said in a quiet voice, “Getting married soon, are we?”Though his tone was light and not much different from usual, it carried a trace of sarcasm—hard to pinpoint, but unmistakably displeased and a little biting.Reid: “…”His gaze circled Leif, and he let out a cold laugh, mocking, “If you can’t see, then stop talking nonsense. After all, sometimes, killing someone doesn’t require a deep grudge. Sometimes… it just takes something trivial.”Leif gave a faint smile. “I’m not easy to kill. Most people wouldn’t dare. Mr. Watkins, you’d best mind yourself. Crimson Hollow isn’t Lystra—no one’s going to clean up your messes here.”Reid’s expression shifted. Although Leif hadn’t said everything outright, it was clear he was calling him childish—saying he relied on the Watkins family. That was the one th

Sora leaned back against the seat, her gaze distant. Upon hearing his words, she turned to him and replied coldly, “Just follow the plan. You don’t need to know anything else.”The man chuckled. “Very well, very well. Since the esteemed Miss Johnson has spoken, I naturally won’t pry further. However…”Sora’s expression turned icy. “However what?”He let out another couple of laughs, placing a hand over his brow, but didn’t speak right away.Still, Sora noticed that ever since he got into the car, he hadn’t stopped smiling. She had heard the rumors about him — that he was born with a smiling face. No matter what, even with a blade to his neck, as long as it hadn’t struck, he would keep smiling.Of course, that smile was a mask. No one could tell when he was genuinely happy. Perhaps the more charming his smile looked, the closer he was to killing someone.Propping his chin up with one hand, he looked completely nonchalant. “This time, I don’t want a reward.”No reward — which meant he w

A gentle voice called softly, “Reid…”Reid’s face was filled with scorn and fury. That ever-proud, arrogant expression on his face froze for a moment. Then, in the dim corridor, he suddenly reached out and clutched the person’s throat.His grip was strong—so strong it felt as though he truly intended to strangle the person to death with his bare hands.Bloodshot eyes locked onto her, his face twisted with rage as he growled through gritted teeth, “Don’t call me that. You don’t deserve to! Sora, you… you’re absolutely disgusting! You’re not worthy—not worthy… hahaha—”Not worthy.That very phrase had once been said to him by Raina. And now, he returned it to Sora word for word. The irony was... peculiar.Inside the room, Raina looked up slightly in their direction. For a moment, she didn’t know how to react. But in the end, it wasn’t her place to get involved—nor could she.After a while, a shout came from outside. Callum’s voice bellowed, “Reid! What are you doing?! Let go! You’ll kil

Miss Sutton smiled faintly and changed the subject. “That corpse poison—can it really be cured?”Raina nodded. “Of course. His case isn’t even that severe. Just some mild hallucinations. He’ll need rest for a while though. By the way, do you have any glutinous rice here?”Miss Sutton caught on immediately. “Glutinous rice?”Raina replied, “Yeah. It’s an old remedy, but it’s surprisingly effective at drawing out corpse poison. I’ve stabilized his heart meridian for now, so it won’t spread. I’ll cook him a bowl of congee later.”Miss Sutton raised his brows. “You know how to cook?”Raina gave a casual smile. “A little.”Miss Sutton didn’t press further.Once she finished with the medical kit, Raina helped Leif out of the room. Miss Sutton followed behind without saying much.Outside, it was quiet. The bulky men from before were gone, and even Reid and Callum were nowhere downstairs. The whole place felt oddly empty.Raina turned to Leif. “You must be starving after all that. How about s
