Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 711

When she was a child, she never wanted to live this kind of life, but she had no choice. She had to follow the orders of the person pulling the strings.

When Dylan had been completely crippled, she was so thrilled she couldn't sleep all night.

She felt like she had finally shaken off a massive burden. She wouldn't have to put on an act or pretend to care anymore.

In fact, she was the one who suggested tossing Dylan out to the Outer Northern Farmlands in the first place.

That place was a miserable dump. She had wanted him to rot there.

And there was something else she had done—a secret no one knew.

She had bribed the woman hired to take care of him. She paid her to deliberately abuse Dylan, ensuring his life in the Outer Northern Farmlands was a living hell. She had hoped he would just die early.

Afterward, desperate to get away and pursue her own happiness, she told Amber Sinclair that she was leaving Cresden City to study abroad.

She thought she could say goodbye to the city forever. Who knew that years later, Amber would force her to come back.

Upon returning, she was shocked to discover that Dylan had fully recovered.

Lady Amber threatened her again, forcing her to sink her claws back into him. The person behind the scenes also demanded she win back Dylan's heart so she could continue operating as a mole by his side.

That was the only reason she had purposefully played the jealous ex against Elena.

In reality, she wanted absolutely nothing to do with him.

Every other woman was mesmerized by Dylan's striking, handsome face, but she was different.

Whenever she looked at him, she felt utterly nauseated.

Being exposed by Elena today actually made her feel a little better. Getting it off her chest was a relief.

Elena was incredibly smart. Even if she had denied it, the other woman would have figured it out, so she had just admitted to everything.

After leaving the cafe, Elena fell into deep thought.

Her conversation with Isabella today made her realize the woman was far more complicated than she seemed.

On the surface, she was a spy planted by Lady Amber by Dylan's side. But in reality, someone else was pulling her strings.

"What did she say? Did she try to convince you to leave me?"

"Sort of. But I discovered a much bigger secret, and I think you need to hear it." Elena looked up at him.

Suddenly, a suffocating wave of pity for the man in front of her washed over her.

Ignored by his father since childhood and subjected to his mother's blatant favoritism, he had suffered enough. Now, even his only childhood friend—the one person he thought had truly cared about him—had been putting on an act to deceive him all along.

It seemed like not a single member of his family had ever genuinely loved him.

"Is this secret about me?" he asked.

"Yes. I found out today that Isabella never had feelings for you. Not when you were kids, and not now. She doesn't like you even a little bit. Even when she kept you company in the basement back then, it was all a performance. Her fighting with me over you was just an act, too."

Dylan remained silent.

His dark gaze turned sharp, and his body stiffened noticeably.

"I know it's cruel to tell you this, but you needed to know. Isabella is terrifying. There's someone else backing her, and it's definitely not just Lady Amber."
