Rise Of The Hidden Heiress의 모든 챕터: 챕터 91 - 챕터 100

Sebastian’s face turns ashen as the implication of Allister’s words sinks in. “What in the moon goddess name is the meaning of this?” he demands, unable to believe what he just heard.Rhea’s complexion drains of all color. She trembles violently, “Brother Alli, you… you…” she stammers, unable to form a coherent sentence.Allister looks completely emotionless. Even I am surprised that he’s so cold and apologetic to confront a truth they had all ignored for too long.“Rhea,” he calls her in a very merciless tone. “Put away those filthy thoughts, and stay far away from me. I will never be interested in you.”I am stunned by his ruthless exposure. I never expected things to escalate this way. Just because I once hinted Rhea might be infatuated with him, Allister has now torn apart all illusions so publicly and cruelly, even banishing her without mercy.Luna Celine clutches her chest as her voice resonates with anger. “Rhea, if this is true, then I am disappointed in you. Is this true? Do y

~Allister~When Julian, Simon, and I arrived at the scene, a small crowd had already formed around the crime scene, and the victim's body was already covered.I step out of the car and head straight to the small gathered group. Julian and Simon move beside me, scanning the perimeter as we go. And Leo stays back to watch our vehicles.Yellow tape stretches across the front of the victim’s house with officers moving in controlled patterns.A forensic team kneels near shell casings, gloved hands placing markers beside them. A photographer adjusts angles, the camera flashing in bursts.Then I spot Jess. calm washes over me. Her voice on the phone when she called me was panicked, and I was terrified out of my mind. Seeing her now, realizing she's fine, does a lot to make me super calm.The moment her eyes land on me, she hurries over. I open my arms, waiting, and she walks straight into them.Her body is cold, probably from staying out here in the open for too long.“Alli,” she whispers, a

~Rhea~“Dr. Roder!” I yell into my cell phone, desperation sucking deep into me.All my life, I never imagined a day like this would come. I thought everything would eventually balance itself, and Allister would realize that I'm the woman for him.But none of that has worked out. Instead, Celine Blackwaters had the guts to send me packing despite my apology and tears.She must think so highly of herself. She must think herself special, too special that she forgot my late father made it possible for her to remain in her goddess-forsaken marriage with her late husband until his death.If it were not for my father, she would have been thrown out of her home a long time ago.Now, she opens her gutter of a mouth to tell me that I'll leave Silver Valley.I’m tempted to find her wherever she is and remind her that it was because of my father that she’s still called Luna. If not for my father, her chapter would have been closed and forgotten.But I won't do that, not yet at least.There is st

“Dr. Roder wants to see you,” one of my new colleagues at the A&E announces as I arrange my stuff to head home after a successful patient handover to the doctors working on the evening shift. “Evening, Dr. Holmes. Do you know why he would send for me?” She shakes her head, “No idea. But he said you should get to his office at once.” The late afternoon sun hits me once I step away from the large canopies protecting the hospital walkways to cross over to the office blocks. Most of my colleagues have already left for the day, but I guess it will be just another day of tolerating Roder and his disgusting abuse of power. He was already packing up his stuff when I stepped in, “You asked to see me, Dr. Roder.” He stops what he's doing, grabs a folder lying on his shelf, and tosses it at me. “Patient’s address is on the folder. He is a good and generous patient of this establishment, and he’s currently dealing with a diabetic ulcer. Right now, his family thinks it's such a chore to be b

My phone continues to ring nonstop. When it dawns on them that my caller isn’t going to stop calling anytime soon, Luke steps over, grabs the phone from my purse while maintaining eye contact, and turns it off.Then he slips it back into my purse and pushes it inside my work bag. “See? Way better now.” He goes back to his seat.I turn to look at Dr. Lyle, and he’s acting like he isn’t seeing any of the stuff playing out right in front of him.“I-I think I need to go now,” I say out loud, the words directed to no one in particular.I pick the patient's folder and tuck it back into my workbag. Standing up to leave, Luke’s voice barks at me. “Sit your ass down, Softie. You don’t want to disobey me.”Goddess!I sit back and silently start making mental calculations on how to get out. It will be best to have them think I'm calm and settled. That way, they won't be super conscious when I make my move.Mr. Stanton clears his throat as if nothing happened. “Listen to me, Dr. white, if you tre
