The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance

Chapter 207 A Name Anyone Can Wear

“Thisb… /bmight not be a good idea.”

Finished

One of the nearby bodyguards finally spoke up. “If Mr. Ronaldo and Mr. Christian find out about this, they definitely won’t be happy. No matter what, she’s still the Sue family’s only daughter. Mr. Sue cares a lot about his little sister. If she’s mistreated, he’s going to be angry. And once he’s angry, things will get reallyplicated.”

“If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.”

A girl who got into ire University by pulling strings, with no real ability to speak of–someone like that didn’t deserve to be part of the Sue family.

Halbert turned and left the ssroom. No one dared stop him.

“Mr. Halbert, you’re here too?”

Downstairs, just as Halbert reached the ground floor, he saw Tracy waiting outside the building.

Unlike how he treated Eliza, Tracy looked at Halbert with open admiration.

“Yeah.”

Halbert’s expression remained neutral, but his attitude toward Tracy was clearly different.

“You came alone? Didn’t bring extra bodyguards?b” /b

“I did. I just sent them to make a restaurant reservation. Let’s eat together, okay?”

Tracy looped her arm through Halbert’s with ease, like a little sister acting coy. “Please?”

“Alright, I get it.”

Halbert could only nod in reluctant agreement.

Not far off, several students had noticed the scene.

“She’s so pretty. Why is she so close with Halbert from the Sue family?”

“You don’t know? She’s the Tames family heiress. She’s been raised in the Sue family since childhood- bbasically /bno different from their real daughter.”

As Eliza arrived at the cafeteria, she overheard some students discussing Tracy’s connection to the Sue family.

So… the Sue family did have a daughter.

No wonder in her previous life, they never bothered looking for her.

Maybe she was never that important to begin with.

Nn asked, “Not happy?”

“No.”

Eliza said. “I just think…. this whole ‘Sue family daughter‘ title feels cheap. Everyone wants it. Feels like just anyone can have it.”

She shook her head.

“To me, you’re just Eliza. Not some Ms. Cassandra from the Sue family.”

Hearing Nn speak so earnestly, Eliza suddenly reached out and pinched his cheek.

He froze.

“I was just saying whatever. Why so serious?”

She added, “Besides, that Tracy girl and the rest of the Sue family have nothing to do with me. Sure, I’m curious–but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten who I am.”

But Nn wasn’t focused on her words—he was still hung up on her sudden cheek pinch.

“You… why’d you pinch my face just now?”

“Hm?” Eliza replied without thinking, “You looked cute. So I pinched you.”

The moment he heard the word “cute,” Nn’s expression darkened.

Eliza quickly picked up on it. “Wait… are you blushing?”

Blushing?

Did he really look like he was blushing?

His face grew even gloomier.

“Eliza, calling a man cute doesn’t make him happy.”

“Oh really?”

Eliza took another bite of her food. “Then I was wrong. I should’ve said you’re handsome.”

Nn felt like she’d missed the point entirely.

“Eliza, what do you take me for? Your little brother?”

“No no no–good friend. Just a good friend!”

Eliza sensed Nn was getting irritated.

He didn’t know she had been reborn, after all. Technically, Nn was older than her now,

She couldn’t bexactly /bgo around pretending to be his big bsister/b.

But even when she said “good friend,” Nn didn’t seem all that pleased.

At that moment, several sharply dressed men stepped into the cafeteria–clearly aides or assistants.

Seeing they were from Hayes Corp, Nn’s expression immediately shifted to one of indifference.

“Mr. Nn, madam has an urgent matter that needs your attention.”

The assistant’s expression didn’t suggest something minor.

Finished

Eliza said, “Go handle your business. I don’t have any sses this afternoon–I can head home on my

own.”

“I’ll have the driver pick you up.”

“Alright.”

She didn’t refuse.

Whatever had happened, it clearly wasn’t small. The assistant had referred to someone as “ma’am,” and that instantly reminded Eliza of the woman who had been shouting at Nn’s door the other night.

iThat /iwoman had looked seriously unstable. Possibly mentally ill.

Ding ding-

Her phone buzzed.

Eliza nced at the caller ID. It was her assistant, so she answered.

“What is it?”

“Ms. Eliza, someone’s making a scene at one of our stores.”

“A scene? Who?”

“A woman. She’s making quite a fuss and still hasn’t left.”

Eliza felt a headacheing on. Someone stirring up trouble at the physical store–just what she needed today.
