All Chapters of Leaving the Heiress My Superpower Chose: Chapter 11 - Chapter 17

The entire venue erupted into an uproar.What kind of occasion was this? It was Randy's birthday party and the day Elena would officially take control of the Coleman Group.And who was this man? How dare he show up in mourning clothes and cause a scene?People whispered among themselves as cameras from every major media outlet immediately swung toward Caleb.Every journalist hoped to capture the day's biggest headline."Who is he?""How bold is this guy? He actually showed up in mourning clothes. Isn't he deliberately cursing Mr. Coleman and humiliating the entire family?""He must have a serious grudge against the Colemans to pull something like this. Otherwise, I can't imagine what he's trying to accomplish. Unless he's some actor from a prank show or something!"Amid the commotion, someone recognized Caleb and cried out in disbelief, "Isn't that the Colemans' son-in-law?!"The room erupted all over again.Some people stared in shock, while others quietly stepped aside to w

The OLED screen suddenly lit up, drawing everyone's attention.The first image to appear was high-definition security footage from a camera positioned directly across from the graves of Jake's parents.In the footage, Jake arrived at the gravesite alone. He took out the blood and paint he'd prepared beforehand, then deftly scrawled two lines across the gravestone. His expression was vicious and obsessive, without a trace of grief.He even spoke to the gravestone as though his parents could hear him. "You can't blame me. You're the ones who left me alone in this world. I only have Aunt Elena now."As my parents, you should be helping me. As long as I get Caleb out of the way, Elena will belong to me alone!"The footage completely disproved the accusation that Caleb had deliberately desecrated the Lawsons' graves.Then a second video appeared. It was footage from the day of the trial, when Caleb had received a video showing that his lawyer and best friend had been kidnapped.Insid

"Don't be afraid. It's me." Elena's voice was hoarse, heavy with an apology that had come far too late. "Caleb, I came to pay my respects to Alex. I wanted to light a candle for him."Caleb instantly became fully alert. He didn't turn to look at her.His eyes remained fixed on Alex's portrait. "You don't need to. I think I made myself clear enough. We're strangers now. And as for Alex, what right do you have to come here and pay your respects when you're the one who caused his death?"Elena could no longer hold herself back. She immediately crouched in front of him, her eyes filled with regret and remorse. "It's not what you think."She didn't make excuses or try to shift the blame.Instead, she told him the truth. "I never intended to hurt Alex. Jake went behind my back and ordered his men to do it. Of course, I can't completely wash my hands of what happened. But I want you to know that I never meant for any of this to happen."And I never protected Jake because I loved him. Hi

At the hospital, Elena was rushed into surgery. The red light outside the operating room flickered on, sealing off the world within from everything beyond its doors.Caleb stood in the hallway, traces of blood still staining his fingertips.His entire body felt cold, and his mind refused to settle.The surgery lasted six hours. No one knew how dangerous those hours had been inside the operating room. Nor did anyone know that as Elena lay unconscious, she had fallen into a dream so vivid that it felt completely real.And every moment of it revolved around Caleb.She remembered the first time they met. He had splashed coffee all over her face, and his words had been sharp and distant. Yet beneath the coldness in his eyes, she'd glimpsed wariness and vulnerability.For some reason, she hadn't been angry with him at all. Instead, she'd asked him to marry her.Over the three years of their marriage, they had gradually come to know and understand each other.There had been no grand d
