The Heiress Who Took Revenge
Eliza looked down and took a sip of wine, saying nothing. Just then, the lights in the mansion suddenly went out. In an instant, everyone sitting in the reception hall jumped in fright. They scrambled to their feet, their faces pale as if they'd seen a ghost. “What's going on? Is it a power outage?” “It must be a power outage. It can't be haunted, right?” In the entire hall, only Tyson remained seated. Julio whispered from the side, “It seems like someone intentionally cut the power. I'll go check.” “Go.” “Yes.” Over here, Elaine hadn't even reached the restroom when all the lights in the corridor went out, making her scream in terror. Just then, Eliza grabbed her arm. Elaine felt someone grab her hand in the darkness. Fear instantly flooded her heart. She tried to break free but was dragged directly into a room. Eliza then turned on her phone's flashlight. Only then did Elaine realize the person holding her arm was none other than Eliza. “You?” Elaine frowned, not understanding why Eliza had sought her out. “What are you doing, playing these tricks?” “I'm not playing tricks. I just have something I want to say to Ms. Elaine in private.” A playful smile appeared on Eliza's face. Looking at Eliza, Elaine sneered, “You stole Nolan from me. What do you have to say to me now? Are you here to show off how in love you two are? Eliza, don't disgust me.” “Ms. Elaine, you've misunderstood. I have no intention of showing off. Our time is short, so I'll be direct. Tyson is marrying you for the Lynn family fortune behind you, and also to win over the Hayes family. You're well aware of this, aren't you?” “So what? This is just a fair trade. He can give me everything I want. I couldn't be happier.” “Is that so? Tyson can indeed give you everything now. But what about after you're married? With his cold, ruthless personality, turning his back on people in an instant, your only purpose is to bring him the Lynn family inheritance. Once he's extracted all the value from you, you'll be useless. Tyson will never keep a useless person. He'll fake a car accident or claim you fell gravely ill. You'll die, and he can marry again.”Eliza's words made Elaine's expression turn instantly ugly. “What nonsense are you spouting?” “Whether I'm spouting nonsense or not, you know better than I do, Ms. Elaine. Tyson's attitude toward you now... isn't it different from before? Am I wrong? You aren't even married yet, and his attitude has already changed so drastically. When all of the Lynn family's assets are in his hands, do you really expect him to treat you well?” “You…” Elaine subconsciously wanted to refute her, but she knew that every word Eliza said was true. Tyson was already paying little attention to her and had even laid his cards on the table. After the wedding, he would get all her Lynn family assets. If he found her troublesome after that, he had a hundred ways to get rid of her. “What do you want from me in exchange for telling me all this?” “Ms. Elaine is very smart. I want to make a deal with you.” “What deal?” Elaine looked at Eliza suspiciously. Eliza said, “The reason Tyson treats you this way is that you have no other use-value. The entire Lynn family fortune is your only support, but that fortune will soon be his.” “Are you telling me not to give him the Lynn family fortune?” “Of course not.” Eliza said, “Tyson is a very smart man. Since he's already announced the marriage in the papers, if you have any 'accidents' after the wedding, the assets will fall into his hands. If you refuse to give them, he will find a way to make you disappear. That method is not advisable.” “Then what are you suggesting?” “If you want to make yourself more valuable, Ms. Elaine, you need to get some leverage on Tyson, something that makes him dare not touch you.” Hearing this, Elaine frowned. Eliza said, “Ms. Elaine, you should know what I mean. Rather than being cast aside as a pawn later, you should find a way to get leverage on Tyson within this month and hold on to it tightly. That way, he won't dare to do anything to you.”
