Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 807

"Because of Max, obviously. He used to have feelings for you."

"You went through all this trouble over that piece of garbage? If you want a loser like Max, keep him. No one is fighting you for him. But I know that's not enough to push you this far. What else is there?"

"What else could there be? You throw yourself at every man you see, and it disgusts me."

"Throwing myself at men? Who told you that?"

"Jane. She said you threw yourself at Max, then you seduced Dylan, and then Sean Maddox. I absolutely despise women like you. I just wanted to teach you a lesson."

Everything clicked into place. Someone had been pulling the strings from the shadows.

Jane Whelan. Since she couldn't keep her mouth shut, she was going to face the consequences.

"Elena, Evelyn was manipulated. Please just let this go. It was terribly wrong of her to lure you here like this, and I apologize on her behalf," Scarlett pleaded.

With that, Scarlett gave Elena a deep bow.

"Scarlett, there's no need for that. You didn't do anything wrong. But hear me now—I have no bad blood with your family. As long as you stay out of my way, I won't touch you. But if you keep coming after me, I guarantee you won't like what happens."

Without another word, Elena turned on her heel and strode out.

Scarlett swayed on her feet, and Anna quickly rushed over to support her.

"Evelyn, you are such a profound disappointment to me," Scarlett reprimanded sharply.

"A disappointment? Fine, be disappointed. It's not like I've ever been able to count on you anyway. You've disappointed me more times than I can count."

Evelyn spat, storming out of the room.

"Madam, please try not to take it to heart. You know how volatile she can be," Anna comforted.

"But her sheer audacity... trying to attack Elena. If her father finds out about this, he'll tear the house apart."

For years, Jane had been the golden child in Old Mrs. Whelan's eyes, allowing the entire Third Branch to reap the benefits.

Now that Jane was completely out of favor, the matriarch was banking all her hopes on the Second Branch.

Cathy chimed in, "Mom, Dad, Grandma is getting up there in years. She's not going to be around much longer. You have to keep kissing up to her so she leaves the entire fortune to us."

The family was in the middle of their greedy scheming when Elena abruptly kicked the doors open.

The loud crash made them jump out of their skin.

"Elena. What the hell are you doing here?" Cathy demanded.

Edward immediately put on his authoritative patriarch routine. "Elena, you are incredibly ill-mannered. Barging in here without a word? Do you really think you still own this place?"

"Yeah, Elena, why are you trespassing on our property?" Cathy asked, crossing her arms with a disdainful smirk.
