Semua Bab From Disgrace to Glory: Rise Of The True Heiress: Bab 51 - Bab 60

The alleyways were cramped and maze-like.Jessica was drenched in sweat as she ran through them. Damp strands of hair clung to her cheeks, but she didn't dare slow down.She had no idea whether anyone was still chasing her.All she knew was that she had to keep running.At last, sunlight appeared ahead.The narrow passage opened onto a larger street, and relief flashed across her face.Then her steps stopped.A figure had appeared directly in her path.Jessica froze."W-What..."Her voice trembled."When did you get here?"Instinctively, she spun around.A second figure stepped out from the alley behind her.The last escape route was gone.Vessara leaned casually against the wall."Well, that's disappointing."She blinked innocently."It looks like you prefer him over me."Meanwhile, Roy folded his arms."Miss Hart, why exactly are you running?"He pointed toward the street."You scratched my car. If you'd simply compensated for the damage, none of this would've happened."Jessica's e

Just after leaving the facility for good, Vessara received a call from the police station.“Ms. Vessara? We’ve uncovered some new information. Would you mind coming in?”“Of course.”After hanging up, she turned to Roy, who was beside her.“It’s the officer from before.”“Kendrick?” Roy paused for a moment before adding, “He’s one of the good ones.”Vessara nodded slightly, committing the name to memory.When they arrived at the station, Kendrick was already waiting near the entrance.“Ms. Vessara. Mr. Roy.”He greeted them, then his expression grew serious.“Jessica Hart has identified the organization behind the scam. We asked you both to come in for two reasons: to update you on the investigation and to collect formal statements. If you have access to the dashcam footage from that day, it would help us tremendously.”“No problem.”At a glance from Vessara, Roy immediately went to retrieve the video files.A flicker of relief crossed Kendrick’s face.“Please, have a seat, Ms. Vessar

Selena Laurent had never met anyone more unstable than herself.For a moment, she simply stared.Then the shock faded, and a faint smile curved her lips.“Slow down,” she said gently. “Tell me what happened first. Maybe I can help.”She draped a comforting arm around Emilia Barclay's shoulders.The gesture was all it took.Emilia’s composure shattered.“I was thrown out.”Her voice trembled with resentment.“That woman set me up. She turned my parents against me. They don’t even want to see me anymore.”The more she spoke, the more emotional she became, completely lost in her own grievances.She never noticed the flash of surprise in Selena’s eyes.Nor the calculations that quickly followed.After all, Emilia was still a Barclay.This could be temporary.Maybe in a few days she would be welcomed back home and resume her place as the Barclay family's beloved daughter.With that thought, Selena became even more attentive.Her voice softened.“Don't cry. Let me help you.”By the time the

The caller was Kieran Quinn.The moment she answered, a tense voice came through the line.“Miss Vessara, I'm sorry for calling out of nowhere. Do you have time to come to Skyreach Tower? Oliver collapsed again. Mr. Sagewood is out of town and can't make it back in time. He told us to contact you.”The worry in his voice was impossible to miss.Standing by the window, he looked toward the unconscious child lying nearby, his heart tightening with every passing second.Vessara closed her eyes briefly.“Give me thirty minutes.”Relief flooded the man's voice as he thanked her repeatedly before ending the call.Vessara let out a quiet sigh and looked toward Roy and Tank.“I need to leave.”She paused before adding,“Keep an eye on that kid. When you think he's ready, give him my contact information.”Both men froze.“You're serious?” Roy asked.“I am.”Vessara stood.“He'll accomplish something significant one day.”That was not praise she handed out lightly.Roy and Tank exchanged a glan

The morning sun had yet to rise, and the air was thick with moisture. Dewdrops clung to the roadside plants, crystal clear and sparkling.Seated in the car, Vessara rested with her eyes half-closed. Thoughts churned endlessly in her mind, causing her brows to knit together in frustration."What are you thinking about so deeply?"Mr. Sagewood leaned closer and looked at her.Meeting those newly opened, still slightly sleepy eyes, curiosity flickered in his gaze.Vessara let out a sigh."There's something I've been investigating here in Cedar Hollow. But it suddenly occurred to me... after searching for so long, is what I'm looking for really here? Or have I been deliberately led in this direction?"She should have realized it sooner. She knew Roy's capabilities well. There was no way someone as competent as him could search for so long without finding any clues.A faint sense of unease stirred in her heart. Pressing her lips together, Vessara's expression grew even colder."You came he
