The Heiress Who Took Revenge
Eliza had long suspected that Sofia was Naomi, but she hadn't expected it to actually be true. “Then Naomi's baby...” “Naturally, it's gone.” Wendy said flatly, “To Naomi, that child was just a tool to help her live a good life. When she found a better tool, she would abandon the child in her womb without hesitation, and even her own mother.” When Eliza heard Wendy say this, she immediately thought of the female corpse Halbert had shown her before. Although the corpse had been confirmed as Evelyn's, when Eliza learned that the killer was Naomi, she still felt a chill run down her spine. Naomi was actually able to kill her own mother, after having watched her own father die right in front of her. For her own benefit, Naomi could also discard her own child. Now, without Wendy's restraints, what would she do? ... At this time. Inside the Hartwell family residence. Matteo calculated that the time was about up. Nathaniel had told him to enter the room after an hour. Matteo didn't delay by a single second. Matteo opened the door. Nathaniel walked out of the room, satisfied, and said, “Women, you have to pick these young and beautiful ones. You're not young anymore, either. In the future, Father will find good women for you, too.” “Yes.” Matteo glanced at the woman getting dressed in the room, but he felt there was something familiar about her. As if he had seen her somewhere before. “I spent a lot of money to buy this one. Take good care of her from now on. She is to want for nothing in food, clothing, or expenses.”“Yes.” “This Wendy... I didn't expect her to fall so quickly. But if not for her fast fall, how could I have such good luck with women?” Nathaniel seemed to be savoring the memory. Matteo heard something strange in Nathaniel's words. He wanted to turn back and look at the woman, but she had already closed the door. “If anyone invites me out recently, turn them all down. Just say I'm busy.” “Yes.” Matteo lowered his head. Nathaniel said, “I heard Eliza and Nolan are back. Now that Wendy is dead, there should be a funeral soon. Go find out if they are also going.” “Why suddenly ask about this?” “Their engagement party didn't invite me. I don't plan to grow distant from them. One is the Sue family's daughter, the other is the head of the Hayes family. I need to make sure they remember my face this time.” Hearing Nathaniel's words, Matteo's brows furrowed slightly. This didn't sound like something Nathaniel would say at all. And Nathaniel had no need to show his face in front of Eliza and Nolan. Matteo's gaze suddenly fell on the locked door. Could it be... that woman's idea? “Are you planning to go alone or take someone?” “I'll take my little treasure with me.” Nathaniel seemed very pleased with the woman in the room. He said, “She's a stunning beauty. Of course I have to take her out and show her off.” That night, Eliza received a message from Matteo. Matteo couldn't call her under Nathaniel's nose, so he could only send a message from a burner phone. The text was just a few short words: "Wendy funeral. Nathaniel attending. A woman is suspicious." When she saw this, Eliza frowned. A woman is suspicious?Who was Matteo talking about? “Ms. Rivers, the clothes for the funeral are ready.” Halbert's man placed the funeral clothes in front of Eliza. She glanced at them. They were pure black, exuding an air of solemnity and gravity. Because Wendy had died, the Foster family had to prepare a funeral. But because of Wendy's crimes, they could only handle it in a low-key manner this time. The Foster family didn't invite many people. Those who came were all from businesses that were close to and had dealings with the Foster family. Eliza was looking down at the text when Halbert walked in and asked, “Why don't you try on the funeral attire I picked for you? If it doesn't fit, I'll have them alter it.” “The clothes are fine. It's just a formality anyway. But look at this.” Eliza showed the text on her phone to Halbert. “Matteo just sent this. Nathaniel is attending the funeral. Did you know?” “Henry didn't tell me. Logically, Nathaniel isn't qualified to attend this funeral. The Foster family shouldn't have sent him an invitation.”
