Mission: Revenge – The Heiress's Second Life novel Chapter 88

Gavin led the way.

Clara trailed close behind.

She recognized this bodyguard; he was the one who had stopped her at the school gates.

A few nights ago, intruders had breached the Lambert estate. Last night, someone had tried to kidnap Teddy. She suspected both incidents were the work of the same group.

Since they had the audacity to show up at her banquet, she didn't mind seeing what they wanted.

She followed Gavin through the corridor and was just stepping into the private VIP lounge area...

Suddenly!

Someone barreled directly into her.

An entire glass of red wine splashed against her chest. The liquid seeped into her clothes, leaving her thoroughly drenched in seconds.

Clara looked up, meeting Lillian's mocking gaze.

Memories from her past life instantly flared to the surface.

At this very banquet in her previous life, she had worn that faded purple dress. After wearing it for just an hour, she had felt incredibly dizzy and disoriented.

What happened next had been a total blur.

"Oh no, Clara, your dress is wet. Let me take you to the changing room."

"Clara, why can't you walk straight? Lean on me, I'll help you inside..."

The voices echoed ominously in her ears. Her steps had been heavy as she was dragged back to the dressing room.

By the time she finally regained consciousness, a man was hovering over her body... surrounded by a crowd staring at her with utter disgust.

Even though the man hadn't actually done anything, and she hadn't engaged in any physical intimacy with him, she was still branded a total disgrace to high society. To protect the Lambert family's honor, Vera had forced her to marry the scumbag.

"Clara, I'm so sorry. It was an accident..."

Lillian's feigned apology snapped her back to reality, blending perfectly with the voice from her memories.
