All Chapters of The True Heiress, His Worst Nightmare: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Tessa pushed Lauren and she fell backward with a gasp.The force of the push sent Lauren crashing hard against the rough concrete floor. The knife slipped instantly from her fingers and landed several steps away with a sharp metallic sound that echoed loudly through the abandoned building.Lauren groaned painfully as her back hit the ground, but the hatred burning inside her eyes did not reduce even slightly. Instead, it only deepened.Her breathing had become rough and unstable. Her hair was scattered wildly around her face, her lips trembling with fury as she struggled to rise again.Everything around them had already turned into complete chaos.Curtis lay weakly against Tessa while blood continued pouring heavily from the stab wound. The smell of blood filled the air strongly now, mixing with dust and the damp smell of the abandoned building.Lauren's chest rose and fell rapidly as she glared at Tessa like a madwoman who had already lost every last piece of reason.She suddenly t

The first thing Curtis felt when consciousness returned was pain.A sharp, burning ache spread through his chest and back the moment he tried moving. His brows immediately furrowed as memories of the event that led to his current situation slowly returned to him. His eyes opened.The white hospital ceiling came into view first.Then the smell of medicine reached him.Before he could gather his thoughts properly, a familiar voice cut through the room."Getting stabbed twice. Do you have a death wish?" Rosa snapped the moment Curtis woke up, turning to face his mom seated beside him in his hospital room.The old woman looked exhausted. The worry she had been carrying for hours was visible in her eyes despite the anger on her face.Curtis turned his head slowly toward her.His wounds hurt terribly, but there was only one thing on his mind.One person."Is Tessa hurt?" Curtis asked instead, his eyes widened. "Is she okay?"Rosa stared at him as though she could not believe what she had

Immediately they walked slowly back into the room, Tessa halted instantly as she caught eyes with Rosa.The atmosphere in the room changed at once.Only moments earlier, the room had been quiet. Now tension seemed to spread through every corner.Rosa had been seated beside the hospital bed, her handbag resting beside her as she waited for Curtis to return.The moment the door opened, she had expected to see her son walking back with the help of a nurse.Instead, she saw Tessa.Not only was Tessa standing beside him, she was supporting him carefully while Curtis leaned slightly toward her.The sight immediately ignited the frustration that had been building inside Rosa for a long time.Her eyes widened.Her face hardened.Then she rose from her seat so quickly that the chair behind her shifted slightly."Curtis, are you out of your mind?!" Rosa snapped, furious.Her voice echoed through the room.Tessa instinctively stiffened.The grip she had on Curtis's arm loosened slightly.For a b

Curtis sat upright on the hospital bed, his back supported by several pillows. Though his complexion had improved significantly compared to a few days ago, traces of weakness still lingered around him. The white hospital blanket covered the lower half of his body while a file rested in his hands.His attention appeared completely fixed on the document.Standing respectfully beside the bed was a young man dressed in a neatly tailored black suit.Harrison Drake. Curtis's assistant.He stood with both hands clasped before him, maintaining the professional posture he always carried whenever he was around his boss."Mr. Deveraux, your wounds have healed." A man on black suit - Harrison Drake, Curtis assistant, standing beside him said, bowing slightly. "When will you come back to work?"Curtis released a breath.Without immediately responding, he flipped through another page of the file.Harrison patiently waited.He had worked under Curtis long enough to know that rushing him was never

Paschal had fled the country shortly after Lauren's arrest.The arrangement he had secretly made with Tessa and Jason had worked exactly as intended. In exchange for evidence and testimony, certain matters had remained buried. The authorities had focused entirely on Lauren's crimes and the long list of offenses directly connected to her. Paschal's involvement never became a major part of the investigation.Of course, that didn't mean he was innocent.Far from it.He had played a role in the schemes that nearly destroyed lives. He had lied, manipulated situations, and worked alongside Lauren whenever it benefited him. The difference was that when everything started collapsing, he chose self-preservation over loyalty.The moment he sensed Lauren's downfall was inevitable, he abandoned everything and disappeared.Now he was somewhere abroad.Free.Untouched.Living under circumstances that many people would consider unfair.Meanwhile, Lauren remained behind bars, paying for every decis
