All Chapters of Jilted Heiress Strikes Back: Chapter 211 - Chapter 220

As she spoke, her ice-cold hand suddenly grabbed the man's calf. Her bloodshot eyes were now blazing, as if something wild was burning inside them.She shouted, “Didn’t you say you wanted to help me? Fine then—kill me! I don’t want to live anymore… Every day I feel exhausted, and it hurts so much… The people I wanted to save—look, I couldn’t save even one. What am I worth?! Save people? Hahahahaha—”She suddenly burst into wild laughter, her voice full of mockery. Then her tone shifted, turning cold and biting: “What a pathetic delusion!”But the man replied, “That’s not true.”Raina's laughter stopped abruptly.Amid the raging storm, the man reached out his hand. It was his right hand, and on the third finger was a black ring, glowing faintly under the curtain of rain like it was wrapped in soft white light.In a calm voice, he said, “You’ve saved many people. If not for you, they’d all be dead by now. They’re just trying to find someone to blame, an excuse to shift responsibility. I

Crack—Raina heard something inside her completely shatter.She used to believe that no matter what she did, Briar would always support her, would never stand on the opposite side of her. But in this moment, she finally understood—they were never on the same path to begin with.Raina lowered her gaze, not wanting to argue. She said softly, “You should go.”Briar frowned. “Do you have to talk to me in that tone? Everything I’ve done is for your own good. Don’t really think that just because you hold the formula, they can’t do anything to you. As long as you want to stay in this industry, as long as you still want to succeed, you’ll have to cooperate with them. Offending all of them—what good will it do you? Why can’t you understand that?”Raina was far from ignorant. She understood it perfectly—she just didn’t want to comply.She replied, “Everyone has their own choices and priorities. You chose what you believed was most important. Can’t I do the same? You think I’m wrong—don’t I just

She had always been waiting.Never once had she thought of giving up.But deep down, she knew—that person, the one she had cherished and loved with all her heart, the one she had dreamed of spending her life with, would truly never return.Over the years, people had come and gone like tides, and she had grown older. Time had left its mark between her brows and carved faint lines on her face.But so what?In the beginning, the days were unbearably hard. She couldn’t help but think, couldn’t help but care, couldn’t help but cry. Whenever night fell and silence filled the room, she would toss and turn, unable to sleep—always thinking of Eli.She had someone she loved. Someone she had liked since she was very young. It had taken her years of effort to finally be with him. She had once dreamed countless times about marrying him—maybe they’d have two kids, maybe they’d argue over silly things like any couple did. Life wouldn’t be perfect, but they’d hold each other’s hands tightly and never

Flash after flash, the past replayed before her eyes like flickering film. Her breath caught for a moment. Then, as if something suddenly clicked, she rushed downstairs in a flurry, as though trying to confirm a fear—something chaotic surged in both her face and heart.Downstairs, the rain had yet to stop. Under a dim, lonely streetlamp, Miss Sutton sat on the steps. At the sound of approaching footsteps behind her, the flute music came to an abrupt halt.Raina’s throat tightened. Her eyes were red-rimmed. After a long pause and an effort to steady herself, she finally asked in a low, trembling, hoarse voice, “Is… is it you?”The words were vague and fragmented, but Miss Sutton understood. She sat motionless on the steps.No one knew how much time passed. Amid the torrential wind and rain, she finally answered softly, “Yes.”Raina’s pupils shrank to pinpoints. She blurted out, “How—how could it be? Why… why didn’t you say anything back then? I… I…”She stammered, unable to finish.Mis

Raina sat on the chair and waved in Miss Sutton’s direction as well.In her heart, she said, “Goodbye.”In truth, she and Miss Sutton had only met a handful of times—maybe not even enough to be called friends. But… how should one put it? In this world, there are some people you meet just once and yet remember for a lifetime, while others you see every day—only to drift apart in a blink.When fate brings you together, you meet; when fate leaves, you part.This is true of friends, and just as true of lovers.From now on, there was no need to meet again.Inside the helicopter, Raina suddenly turned to Leif. After a moment of mental struggle and careful wording, she spoke gently, “If you’re willing… why don’t you tell me what happened?”Leif wasn’t the type to lose his cool easily, but when he received that call, he had clearly lost his temper.Maybe it wasn’t her place to ask—after all, their relationship was hard to define. But if she didn’t ask anything at all, that didn’t sit right wi
