Mission: Revenge – The Heiress's Second Life novel Chapter 3

Clara followed Mr. Harrison into the grand foyer.

The first person she saw was Serena lounging gracefully on the living room sofa.-

They were both seventeen, just shy of their eighteenth birthdays.

Clara had spent the last six years exiled in the countryside, growing increasingly timid and insecure, always walking with her head down.

Meanwhile, Serena, the illegitimate daughter, had spent those six years living lavishly as the second daughter of the Lambert family. She had thrived in Springfield, parading around as proud as a peacock.

In her previous life, Clara had returned only to be immediately trampled under Serena's designer heels, marking the start of a brief, nightmarish existence.

But since fate had granted her a second chance—

Then—

Clara's gaze turned razor-sharp.

At that exact moment, an abrupt, mechanical voice echoed in her mind.

[Ding! Elite Heiress System successfully bound!]

[The Elite Heiress System is designed to guide the host in becoming the ultimate, flawless socialite!]

A cold smirk touched Clara's lips.

She had spent her entire previous life walking on eggshells, desperate to be the perfect heiress everyone admired.

And where had that gotten her? Stripped of her reputation, betrayed by her family, paralyzed, and left to rot in a hospital for a decade before dying miserably.

In this life, she didn't care about being a perfect heiress.

She was going to destroy her enemies.

She was going to take back everything that belonged to her, piece by piece.

Serena sat up, mildly surprised.

The reports said Clara was a cowardly, insecure country bumpkin, but this girl didn't fit that description at all.

Despite the cheap clothes, zero makeup, and lack of jewelry, the sheer commanding presence radiating from Clara made it impossible to dismiss her as a rural nobody.

A flash of unwarranted jealousy flared in Serena's chest.

Even after six years of luxury, she still hadn't cultivated an aura like that.
