Mission: Revenge – The Heiress's Second Life novel Chapter 61

Even if Serena wanted to stay, there was no way she could, so she reluctantly took her leave.

Vera Lambert sat on the sofa, watching the scene with cold, detached eyes.

She had thought Mrs. Yardley came to visit to build a good relationship with the Lamberts, but Mrs. Yardley had mercilessly reprimanded Serena right to her face. This proved that Mrs. Yardley still looked down on her, just as she had six years ago.

If that was the case, there was no need for her to suck up to someone who clearly despised her.

With that thought, Vera's expression cooled significantly. "You're usually a very busy woman, Mrs. Yardley. What brings you to the Lambert estate for tea?"

Mrs. Yardley took a sip of her tea and said nonchalantly, "I was taking a stroll near the artificial lake last night and ran into a familiar face. She looked vaguely like Clara. Has Clara returned to Springfield?"

Hearing this, Vera's composed facade nearly shattered.

She never expected that Mrs. Yardley's visit was actually for that little bitch!

And she certainly didn't expect that the moment that brat returned to Springfield, she would start scheming to cozy up to Mrs. Yardley!

Mrs. Yardley took in her stiff expression and continued slowly, "I watched Clara grow up. If those unfortunate events hadn't happened back then, she would undoubtedly be the most outstanding young heiress in Springfield society."

Vera's face was completely rigid.

Was Mrs. Yardley coming here on behalf of the deceased Pearl Preston to hold them accountable?

"Clara and our Chase grew up together. As soon as she got back, Chase volunteered to take an hour out of his day to tutor her. I didn't expect their bond to still be so deep after six long years." Mrs. Yardley casually tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "I ran into some old friends yesterday, and everyone was bringing up Clara. No one even knew she was already back."

Vera's fists were clenched tight.

Not only had that little bitch orchestrated a chance encounter with Mrs. Yardley, but she had actually hooked up with Chase!

Pulling these stunts right under her nose—did Clara think she was dead?!
