Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 818

Hearing that Kyle was already in the hospital, Beatrice completely abandoned any thought of resisting the terrifying woman standing over her.

She scrambled up and desperately dug through her drawers, finally pulling out the IOU from five years ago.

“Here... here it is,” Beatrice whimpered.

Elena took the slip of paper and held it up for Michelle to verify. “Is this it?”

“Yes.”

Elena instantly ripped the IOU into tiny shreds.

With that handled, she and Michelle walked out.

Once they were safely out on the street, Michelle let out a long breath. “That felt amazing! Elena, Beatrice has tormented my mom for years. Standing up to her felt incredible.”

“People like Beatrice only understand force. Trying to reason with them is a waste of breath.”

Elena looked at Michelle, her expression softening. “Michelle, from now on, I’m going to take care of you. By the way, I’ve been meaning to ask... what’s going on with you and Tyler? You two have been acting really strange lately.”

“It’s... it’s nothing.” Michelle’s eyes darted away, avoiding Elena's gaze entirely.

“If something’s bothering you, just tell me. Are we keeping secrets now? Tyler answers to me. If he’s treating you poorly, I’ll deal with him.”

“No, he’s not treating me poorly. It’s just... we... we slept together.”

Elena was completely stunned.

“You slept together?”

Michelle nodded slowly.

“We were both drunk that night, and somehow, it just happened. I know Tyler doesn't have feelings for me. Then I got the call from home, so I left. Elena, I really didn't mean for this to happen...” Michelle’s voice broke, and she started crying again.

Elena pulled her into a comforting hug. “What happened, happened. I’ll have a serious talk with that boy.”

“But... but Tyler is only in love with you.”

“Boss, you’re back.”

“Michelle and I traveled all day, she has to be exhausted. Have someone show her to a guest room so she can rest.”

Michelle glanced nervously between them before quietly walked away.

“Boss, is Michelle okay?” Tyler asked cautiously.

“If I had been a second later, she wouldn't be.”

“What? What happened?” Tyler demanded, sudden panic in his voice.

Clearly, he did care.

Elena gave him a brief rundown of the violent events in the small town.

Tyler slammed his fist onto the table. “I’m sending a crew down there right now to handle them! Nobody disrespects our people like that!”
