All Chapters of Fallen Heiress Rises to the TOP: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

The driver chuckled before replying with a completely calm expression.“Isn’t this all for your safety, Miss? If I didn’t drive faster, what if they caught up to us later? Wouldn’t that just create more trouble?”With that, the driver effortlessly shook off the car that had been following them from behind.Julian sat inside the car, his expression extremely serious.His mind kept turning over the connection between Rue and the Langford family in Capital City.There was no reason those two should have any relationship at all.Unless—Suddenly, Julian thought of a key person.Jace Langford.Previously, because Rue was a fan of Jace, she had even gone so far as to sneak into the production crew.She had been photographed by passersby and mistaken as his real girlfriend.Those photos were still spreading all over the internet.Could it be that she was going to see Jace today?“Sir,

Rue never expected that Julian would actually find his way here.She turned around in surprise and immediately met the man’s deep, amber eyes.“What are you doing here?”Rue stared at him in disbelief, looking him up and down carefully. Her brows furrowed slightly, a faint crease forming between them.She had clearly reminded Julian before to take proper care of his health. Right now was the most critical stage of detoxification. If he didn’t rest properly, then even if his body recovered, it would still take at least one or two years for all his physical indicators to fully stabilize.So why was he here?“I know how important this competition is to you,” the man said, his deep eyes fixed firmly on her. “I wanted to be there with you and witness the moment you claim your victory.”His words caused Rue’s heart to tremble slightly.She inhaled softly and said in a low voice, “I think yo

The folder contained a piece of highly classified information.Rue hesitated, but she still refused to take even a single step forward.She stared at the familiar face before her and let out a cold laugh.“So my mines were still sabotaged by Skyvault? You went to such lengths just to gain my trust, even to the point where you’ve already arranged everything to frame someone else and pin the blame on them, right?”“I didn’t. Rue, this really has nothing to do with Skyvault. It was Deep Sea!”Julian spoke with utmost seriousness.He knew Rue’s emotional reaction was completely understandable. If something like this happened to anyone else, they probably wouldn’t be able to accept it either.The sickly man she had spent so much time and effort treating was actually her sworn enemy!“My mother really is Vivian. I apologize for what the organization did to Aegis in the past. But t

She desperately shook Julian’s body, murmuring under her breath:“I’ve already sent a distress signal to Aegis. You have to hold on. You absolutely cannot die. Otherwise, I’ll turn you into a specimen!”Julian weakly leaned against the rocks by the shore. He curled his lips into a strained smile.“So… if becoming a specimen means I can stay by your side forever… then even death would have no regrets for me.”His voice was faint and fragile. He could barely keep his eyes open, yet he still continued murmuring softly, repeating the same sentence over and over again.“Rue… I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean to… to deceive you.”Whether he had intentionally lied to her or not no longer mattered at this point.To Rue, the most important thing was that he stayed alive.Finally, the familiar sound of car engines came from behind her.Stil

Rue, exhausted both physically and mentally, hurried straight into the villa.She rubbed her slightly throbbing temples, then turned back to look at Marco.“Has everything back home already been handled? You came here so suddenly. Are you sure it won’t make them suspicious?”“There’s no point worrying about that anymore. Your identity has already been exposed. Look.”After saying that, Marco opened his laptop and logged into a hidden underground network.The moment the website loaded, the first-ranked bounty listing immediately appeared.Displayed prominently were Rue’s identity information and the current address of her biological parents.That location was none other than the small apartment where Rue’s parents had been living after she returned to the Blackwood family.Suddenly, she remembered a night from before.That was the night she had planned to leave home and go to Julian’s v
