All Chapters of Fallen Heiress Rises to the TOP: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

[Cody, do you remember roughly when Ariana started acting... different?]After sending the message, Rue tossed her phone aside and drifted into a restless sleep.For some reason, the moment she entered her dream, the first thing she saw was Julian’s unbelievably handsome face.He slowly shrugged off his jacket, revealing the flawless lines of his physique, then crooked a finger at her.“Haven’t you always wanted to... see for yourself?”As if under a spell, Rue reached out and placed her hand against his chest.That feeling...And those captivating eyes made her heart skip a beat.The instant their gazes met, a chill suddenly ran down her spine.Those deep, mesmerizing eyes seemed to possess a magic she couldn’t escape.“Do you like me too?”His warm, magnetic voice echoed beside her ear.The question hit her with such force that she could hardly handle it.Rue jolted awake fro

Without drawing attention to himself, Julian slipped the tube of ointment into Rue's backpack.Unfortunately for him, Rue's perception was exceptionally sharp.The subtle movement didn't escape her notice.She turned around and looked at him in surprise."I thought your friend went through a lot of trouble to get this ointment for you. If it's that valuable, you're really just giving it to me?"Julian met her gaze, his expression serious. "I'm more worried about your injury than mine. Use it for now, and if your arm still hurts tonight, I'll take you to the hospital."A complicated warmth quietly spread through Rue's heart.For as long as she could remember...This was the first time anyone had cared so much about her injuries.Back when she lived with the Sterling Family, Mr. and Mrs. Sterling would beat or scold her over the slightest mistake. They even made her work alongside the household servants.Cuts and br

Rue really had been hugging another man.There was no denying that.But...The moment Julian saw the man's deathly pale face on the video, he lowered his voice and said,"He's critically injured.""At this point, even a Vital Essence Pill might not be enough to save him.""If he's someone important to her, then a hug doesn't really mean anything."Kieran was left speechless. After a long moment, he let out a defeated sigh."Fine, Boss. Just pretend I never said anything."Meanwhile, outside the intensive care unit, Rue stood with her hands tightly clasped together in silent prayer.She couldn't help but curse fate's unfairness.Zach.Julian.And now...Finn.They were all good people.So why were they the ones suffering one tragedy after another...While the truly evil people continued living comfortably without facing any co

Without the slightest hesitation, Rue raised her hand and slapped Ariana across the face.She didn't hold back.Using nearly thirty percent of her strength, the blow sent Ariana staggering as blood sprayed from her mouth.Ariana clutched her cheek in shock. She could clearly feel one of her teeth loosening.“Rue Blackwood! How dare you hit me? I'm going to kill you! You were the one who ruined my engagement banquet, weren't you? You bitch! I'll make you pay for this today!”Shrieking hysterically, Ariana charged at Rue like an enraged bull.Rue didn't even bother lifting a hand. She simply stepped aside.The next second, Ariana crashed face-first onto the ground.“You stole my man! I'll never let you get away with this!”Knowing she was no match for Rue, Ariana refused to give up. Instead, she began screaming at the top of her lungs.“Everyone, come look! This homewrecker stole my fia

The members of Aegis couldn't help but wonder...Just how incredible was Grandma Lane's spicy noodle?Why else would their boss spend so much money, time, and effort trying to save an elderly woman who had absolutely no connection to her?Only Rue knew the real reason.It wasn't because she had a soft heart.She wanted Grandma Lane to live long enough to see her accomplish what the old woman never could.She wanted the entire world to witness Lystra's porcelain stand above every other ceramic tradition on earth.The dream Grandma Lane had failed to realize decades ago...Rue would fulfill it.She believed that with all her heart.After returning to the villa, Rue took a quick shower before collapsing into bed.Outside, cicadas chirped nonstop.The noisy chorus was already irritating enough...Then came a gentle knock on her bedroom door."Rue?" Julian's warm, mag
