Mission: Revenge – The Heiress's Second Life novel Chapter 98

In the hospital corridor.

Clara's silhouette slowly emerged.

She had listened to every single word of the negotiations between the Lamberts, Blanches, and Youngs inside the room.

The direction of this mess was identical to her previous life.

In her past life, she had been married off to Harvey completely blind to the circumstances.

And in this life, by offering business concessions, Jonathan had all but guaranteed the Young family would agree to the union.

But what if Lillian's parents knew that Vera had orchestrated the whole thing?

No matter how little they valued Lillian, her parents wouldn't willingly throw their biological daughter into a wolf's den.

Clara knocked on the door. Assuming it was a nurse, Evelyn told her to come in.

She walked in, pulling off her baseball cap to reveal her cold, stunningly beautiful face.

Evelyn recognized her immediately. This was Pearl's daughter, the star of today's Lambert banquet...

"Evelyn, Mr. Young, I apologize for the intrusion." Clara's lips curved upward. "You don't truly intend to marry your daughter into the Blanche family, do you?"

Evelyn obviously didn't want to.

But today's banquet had utterly destroyed her daughter's reputation... Even though Lillian was forced and no actual intimacy occurred, their social circle wouldn't see it that way. Rumors were terrifyingly destructive, and there was no telling how twisted the story would become as it spread... Arranging a marriage seemed to be the only way to salvage her dignity.

Clara sighed softly. "If you actually marry your daughter off to Harvey, won't you just be playing right into Vera's hands?"

Evelyn narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?"

Clara said calmly, "My stepmother orchestrated today's setup to target me. So why did your daughter end up as the final victim?"

Arthur's brow twitched.

After his daughter's incident, he had rushed to the hospital in a frenzy, leaving him no time to deeply analyze the details.

Thinking it over carefully now and piecing the events together, the truth became glaringly obvious.
