All Chapters of The Heiress’s Ruthless Revenge : Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

After leaving his mother’s side, Gilbert sat lazily on the edge of his bed, phone in hand, the glow from the screen lightening up his face. His lips curved into a sly grin as he tapped on Victor’s number and lifted the phone to his ear.It didn’t even finish ringing twice before the call connected.Victor’s voice came through. "Why the call?"Gilbert leaned back, his head resting against the headboard. "Because I’m a man of my word. Even though you didn’t give me exactly what I wanted, what you gave me was… useful.""What are you talking about?""You see…" Gilbert’s grin widened. "The chairman wasn’t too pleased with what he heard. Because of what you told me, he officially cut ties with Damien. You did well, Victor. So, as a reward, I’ll give you the truth you’ve been chasing."Victor straightened in his chair, his pulse quickening. "So?"Gilbert’s voice lowered. "Lyriel. She’s alive. And she’s not just anywhere, Victor. She’s living here in Mexico… with Damien it's been almost three

The ride to the address Kohl sent him wasn’t long, but Damien barely said a word the entire time. His focus was sharp, his mind completely still, like someone preparing for a battle... Of course he needed to convince Mr Xiao, then win him over. When he finally arrived in front of the huge black gate of the Xiao residence, he didn’t move out immediately.Instead, he reached for his phone and made a quick call."It’s me," he said calmly the moment Kohl picked up.Kohl’s voice came from the other end, soft but a little breathless. "You’re here already?""Yeah.""Alright. Give me a few minutes...I’ll come get you."A few minutes later, the gate slowly slid open. Kohl appeared, dressed in a simple cream sweater and dark jeans. Her hair was tied up in a loose bun, and even though she was trying to appear calm, the faint worry in her eyes gave her away.Damien drove in and parked neatly in front of the house. He stepped out, taking a slow look around. The Xiao residence was large and modern,

Kohl walked beside Damien, still trying to piece together everything that had just happened.She finally broke the silence. "What you said in there about Project Three and Greenland...was that really true?"Damien slid his hands into his pockets and shrugged casually. "Would I lie about something that important?"Kohl stared at him, half-in disbelief and half-in admiration. He was too calm for someone who had just changed the direction of a massive company.She exhaled softly. "So… are you leaving now or waiting for my dad?"Damien’s eyes drifted toward the long hallway. "It’d be a waste of my time if I came here and didn’t get what I actually came for," he said evenly.Kohl couldn’t help but chuckle at his bluntness. "You’re something." she said, shaking her head and motioning toward a nearby couch. "Come on, sit. You might as well get comfortable."They sat down. She crossed one leg over the other, still curious about him. "Do you want something to drink? Coffee? Tea?"Before Damien

Ever since that unknown message arrived on Lyriel’s phone, she had forced herself to stay calm...just as Damien had told her to. She wanted answers, but he had asked her to be cautious.On Damien’s side, he had made a clear decision. If the Cruz family wanted to act like strangers, then he’d make sure the ties between them were completely severed. He returned every credit card the chairman had ever given him. Not just that, he sent back everything that tied him to their family...documents, properties, private access codes, everything.He didn’t want their world anymore. He would build his own.Days passed quietly. Damien didn’t step out of the house, not once, except for two important visits.The first was to Eleanor’s late sister’s grave. Standing in front of the cold stone, Damien whispered his thanks. She was the one who had given him the information that changed everything. If she hadn’t lived long enough to reveal the truth, he wouldn’t have known the path he needed to take. He s

The red warning lights on the big white board continued flashing, filling the entire conference hall with a blinding glow. People whispered nervously at first… but then, panic began to spread like fire.Gilbert’s heart thumped heavily as he stared at the frozen screen in disbelief. "This can’t be happening…" he muttered as he brought out his phone and sent a message to one of his team.The chairman’s face went stiff. He leaned close to Gilbert, voice low and sharp. "What's happening? Why's the app malfunctioning?"Gilbert blinked rapidly, his confident smile long gone. His hands shook as he grabbed the laptop and typed quickly, but nothing worked. "I...I don’t understand." he stammered. "The system… it’s not responding!" He muttered more to himself than the chairman.The board behind him continued flashing, the red lights growing brighter.Lyriel’s laughter echoed once more through the speakers, louder this time. It wasn’t cruel, it was just the kind of laugh that made people’s skin c
