Lahat ng Kabanata ng Jilted Heiress Strikes Back: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Leo looked baffled but still grabbed a bathrobe and loosely wrapped it around himself. Rael couldn’t stand it anymore, pressed his fingers against his forehead, and said to Leif, “Mr. Vexley, just hold on a moment.”Then he put down the phone, walked over, and carefully tied the bathrobe’s belt for Leo, making sure it wouldn’t come undone again. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.Leo glanced down at the belt, tied so tightly it looked like Rael was trying to tie a knot that wouldn’t come loose.Rael picked up his phone again but kept stealing glances at Leo from the corner of his eye. This guy was always fidgety—if he wasn’t careful, he might just undo the belt again without realizing it.Leo grabbed a towel and sat down beside Rael. Naturally, he handed the towel over to Rael, who caught it smoothly. One hand held the phone, while the other used the towel to wipe the water droplets from Leo’s hair.They were both so used to this routine that neither thought anything was out o

Mireille stood to the side with a smile, watching Lucas swallow the VIREXIN. When she confirmed that he had swallowed the pill, the smile on her face grew even brighter and more radiant.But just a few minutes later, Lucas let out a terrible scream, falling from his chair and rolling on the ground. He clutched his abdomen, feeling as if it was about to explode in unbearable pain.His head throbbed painfully, his eyes suddenly bloodshot. He collapsed to the floor, glaring at Mireille with a sinister glare and growled, “Ahhh—It hurts! It hurts so much!!! Pain, pain, pain—You wretch! What exactly did you make me swallow?!”Every time Mireille had met Lucas before, he had always looked down on her arrogantly, with an air of authority and disdain, never once giving her a proper glance. She didn’t even have the qualification to step foot into the Hale Manor.If it weren’t for today’s delivery of the VIREXIN, Lucas probably would never have allowed her inside.At this moment, Mireille was in

It wasn’t anyone else—it was Jasper’s fiancée, Mireille.Jasper froze for a moment. But it wasn’t because he was embarrassed at being caught red-handed cheating in front of his fiancée. No, what struck him was that Mireille looked exceptionally stunning today—not just in appearance, but something radiating from within her.In fact, Mireille wasn’t exactly a knockout. Compared to all the women Jasper had been with, she was just average at best—plain, really. To put it bluntly, she didn’t even compare to the woman he was currently messing around with.That’s why Jasper had never seriously committed to Mireille. He had betrayed her countless times, both to her face and behind her back.But today, Mireille seemed different from every other woman he’d ever been with.She wore a deep purple, form-fitting body-con dress, with every accessory matching in shade. Wearing high heels, she walked in with a proud, almost regal air.A rare flicker of unease crossed Jasper’s face, but he quickly mask

One person laughed heartily and replied, "Heehee, what else could she want?! Of course she wants Mr. Hale’s money. Otherwise, do you really think she truly loves that playboy?""The Hale Group is the most likely to become the fifth great family. The Carrington family’s little bit of wealth is just small potatoes compared to the Hale family.""Isn’t VIREXIN about to be announced for listing? I heard this medicine is miraculous — bringing the dead back to life — is that for real?!""There’s no such miraculous thing in the world! Bringing the dead back? If it were really that powerful, Mireille wouldn’t need to go through the Hale Group; she’d just release it solo.""There’s probably deeper intrigue here than you think..."That last comment was actually quite accurate.At this moment, on the lavishly sparkling stage, Mireille and Jasper along with others were already seated. The host confidently and calmly took the microphone and began the opening remarks.Raina looked up toward the stag

“Excuse me… sir, why can’t VIREXIN be released? Isn’t that the miracle drug developed by Vireon Lab?”“Yeah, you can’t just say it can’t be released without proof. And aren’t those pills your product? Vireon Lab’s reputation is on the line here…”“A lot of people are waiting on this medicine to save their lives. You gotta be responsible with what you say!”“That’s nonsense — aren’t you just putting people in danger?”Then someone shouted loudly, “Who’s putting people in danger?! We’re trying to save them!”A few others nearby whispered, “Yeah, we’re not harming anyone. We’re trying to save lives… VIREXINs failed the clinical trials. They didn’t pass.”“We didn’t do anything wrong! Why won’t you listen to us?”“Just ignore them. We didn’t cause any harm. Why should we have to take the blame for this?”Keith got furious. “Carl, what kind of nonsense is that? We didn’t cause harm, sure — but we can’t just stand by and do nothing! Mr. Shaw just died, and at a time like this, you want to b
