All Chapters of Fallen Heiress Rises to the TOP: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Rue’s expression turned icy.Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed as she slowly surveyed the room.Though she was slender, an overwhelming aura of authority radiated from her at that moment—powerful enough to make everyone present instinctively fearful.Mrs. Sterling was no exception. She shakily rose to her feet and unconsciously edged toward the staircase.“Ariana...”Ariana Sterling descended from upstairs. Seeing how frightened her mother was, she shot her a disdainful glance.“What are you afraid of, Mom?”Her provocative gaze swept over Rue from head to toe.“If you want your brother back, the answer is still the same. The medicine. Hand over a real Vital Essence Pill, and I’ll tell you where that sickly loser actually is.”After speaking, Ariana raised a hand and switched on the television.A gaunt, exhausted face appeared on the screen.The young man&

When it came to actual medical knowledge, Ariana Sterling knew absolutely nothing.Aside from blaming everything on poisoning, she had no idea how else to bluff her way through a diagnosis.Poisoning...Julian Vanderbilt immediately thought of Rue Blackwood.He remembered her casual remark the other day.His expression grew noticeably more serious.“What kind of poison?”“Well... poison covers a very broad range of possibilities.”Ariana spoke with complete confidence.“In traditional medicine, we focus on treating the root cause by regulating the body's internal functions and balancing the organs. So I can't give you a precise answer right now. However, I would recommend that you try the Vital Essence Pill first.”As she spoke, her eyes repeatedly drifted toward the door, anxiously waiting for the test results.Two minutes later—Kieran Vaughn rushed inside, visibly excited.&

Everyone exchanged uneasy glances.It was hard to believe those words had come from their boss.Rue had always been calm and level-headed. Every decision she made was carefully considered, and that was precisely how she had led Aegis to become what it was today.Yet now she was talking about sending people into international waters to rescue someone.After a long silence, Rue finally spoke.“Zach Sterling means a great deal to me.” Her brows remained tightly knit. “When I created my very first Vital Essence Pill, he was the one who tested it for me. He trusted me completely—without question. So I can't abandon him.”The room fell silent.After a long pause, AJ was the first to respond.“Boss, if that's the case, then don't worry. We won't let you down.”He pounded a fist against his chest as he made the promise.Just then, Rue's phone chimed twice.The caller ID fla

Rue Blackwood shrugged, her expression calm and composed.The sincerity in her face made the man slowly make his way toward her despite the difficulty of each step.He raised a hand and gently took her arm, lifting it to inspect it carefully. “You’re hurt?”His warm, magnetic voice echoed beside her ear.Rue froze for a moment before quickly pulling her hand away.“It’s nothing. My hand is fine. A couple of days of rest and it’ll heal.”She gave an awkward smile, a thoughtful look flickering in her eyes.If Julian Vanderbilt had only happened to buy one of her paintings by chance and truly had nothing to do with Skyvault...Then her investigation into his identity while staying at the villa had already caused him enough trouble.People from outside had followed the trail all the way here.Leaving would be easy for her, but Julian had always been in poor health. If he becam

At the old matriarch's command, she declared, “I want Julian Vanderbilt to personally apologize to my granddaughter at her birthday banquet. If he refuses, then the Vanderbilt family shouldn't blame us for disregarding the friendship our two families have shared for so many years.”Before the Vanderbilt family could even respond, she had already hung up.Though Evelyn Langford was seventy-five years old, she remained elegant and commanding, her presence no less impressive than it had been in her youth.As she stepped off her private jet, she narrowed her aged eyes and said quietly,“Take me to see that worthless son of mine. Let's see how he's doing these days.”“Madam, Mr. Blackwood... seems to know he's made a mistake.” The assistant answered cautiously.“You cut off his sources of income and had him dragged into a debt crisis. He's been placed under travel restrictions and can't leave the cou
