Heiress Returns Family Shocks (Nina Swanson) novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473

But she didn’t want that. She’d had a crush on Ethan ever since their school days.

She didn’t want to marry someone she didn’t love.

And she definitely didn’t want to spend her whole life stuck in this village.

She yearned for a free life, not to be stuck here forever, just popping out babies.

She did everything she could to avoid getting married.

But in the end, five men ended up dead because of her.

Because she refused to marry, those men lost their lives.

She didn’t even know how they died.

It wasn’t until earlier this year that she found out the guys she’d rejected were all buried out back on the hill.

When Ethan called to meet up, Veda was totally caught off guard

She never expected to be in touch with him again, but she knew if Ethan ever came here, he’d be walking straight into a death trap.

So she didn’t reply.

She was about to delete the message.

But just as she was about to hit delete, her parents walked in.

They saw the message before she could delete it.

Her parents demanded she bring Ethan back, but she refused. So they threatened her: if she didn’t, out of the two people she’d managed to save, one would be forced to marry her, and the other would be killed.

She still refused.

Ethan was the only thing that kept her going.

She knew exactly what would happen to Ethan if he ever set foot here.

They called it marriage, but once she was expecting, Ethan would no longer be needed. He’d be disposed of.

He’d end up just like those other men buried on the hill out back never leaving that place for the rest of his life.

She couldn’t let Ethan end up like that.

But her parents said if she didn’t reach out, they’d send people to bring Ethan here themselves.

And if he showed up barely alive, that was on him, not them.

Veda was at her wits’ end.

She really didn’t have a say in any of this.

Ethan was already targeted by her parents. If she didn’t go, they send someone after him. Who knew what would happen?

Chapter 473

So in the end, she had to go meet Ethan herself and bring him in.

Veda could tell Nina wasn’t just any girl.

She must know her way around medicine.

There was a faint scent of herbs lingering on her.

Parasites and medicine had always gone hand in hand.

Anyone who knew medicine usually knew a thing or two about parasites.

So when she went to pick them up at the village entrance today, he made sure to bring some parasites with her, hoping Nina would sense the parasite aura on her.

But for some reason, Nina didn’t seem to sense anything. She didn’t even bat an eye the whole time.

Veda had been watching her closely, and her instincts told her Nina was definitely not just some ordinary girl.

That calmness Nina carried herself with was way beyond what most girls could pull off.

Even though Nina acted all sweet and innocent, Veda could see right through it.

You couldn’t fake being someone you were not at heart. No matter how hard you tried, it would always feel off.

Veda had planned to team up with Nina and help them escape from this place.

But since Nina didn’t pick up on the parasites, Veda had no choice but to bring them in.

She even tried to drop hints, saying this was a tourist spot, but anyone who knew Hillcrest would know this village was definitely not a place for tourists.

She also mentioned to them that her parents were cooking lunch, hoping anyone with a bit of caution wouldn’t just stick around for a meal.

She thought, ‘Why couldn’t Nina and the others take the hint?’

Veda was getting nervous, but she couldn’t go against her parents She begged, “Do we have to do it tonight? They ain’t going nowhere. Can’t we just wait a few days? This is my big day. At least let me get ready for it.”

“You’ve had years to get ready! Stop stalling and get moving!” Zuri snapped, making it clear there was no room for discussion.
