Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 900

"The baby you lost was never Tyler's. The man who came into your room drunk that night was not Tyler."

Michelle froze, her eyes widening in sheer panic. "No! No! Why are you making this up? I don't believe a single word you're saying!"

"Believe it or not, it's the truth. Before I came looking for you, Tyler confessed everything. He told me he was drunk that night, but he never went into your room. It was another man from the syndicate. But when you woke up, you were absolutely convinced it was Tyler. He had promised me he would protect you. He knew the truth would destroy you, and he was terrified you'd take your own life, so he chose to take the blame."

"Tyler quietly executed the man who assaulted you and buried the secret. He begged you not to have the child because he knew it wasn't his, and the father was already dead. He didn't want you to ruin your life over a lie."

That was the crushing truth Tyler had revealed to Elena after Michelle disappeared. It was only then that Elena realized how heavy a burden Tyler had been carrying in silence.

"No! It's impossible! It had to be him!" Michelle shrieked, her reality violently imploding.

She couldn't process the fact that her entire foundation of hatred was built on a tragic misunderstanding.

"Don't listen to her, Michelle. Pick up the knife and finish the job," Sirius commanded from the doorway.

Michelle locked her furious, unhinged gaze onto Elena. She knew Elena was trapped. She slowly raised the bloodstained knife and stepped closer.

"Why did you have to tell me that, Elena? Wasn't it enough that I was violated in the streets? Did you really have to tell me I gave myself to some random stranger? You are so sickeningly cruel! My life is ruined, so I'm going to take yours! I have nothing left to go back to, and I will make damn sure you never get a happy ending either!"

With a feral scream, Michelle plunged the knife straight into Elena's chest.

Elena let out a muffled gasp as the blade tore through tissue.

She stared intensely into Michelle's crazed eyes. "TThe blade in my back... that was for your brother. The one in my chest? That’s for you. Our debts are settled. Whether you live or die... is no longer my concern."

Elena's eyes fluttered shut, her body going entirely limp on the floor.

"Back off, or I kill him right now!" Elena roared.

Sirius slowly raised his hand, signaling his men to stand down. Reluctantly, the mercenaries backed out of the room.

Using Sirius as a human shield, Elena slowly dragged him out of the estate.

Michelle was no longer her responsibility. Their blood debt was paid in full, and Elena had zero obligation to protect her anymore.

Her only priority now was survival.

Trying to drag an uncooperative hostage like Michelle out of Falveria would have been a suicide mission. But moving alone, with the leader of the syndicate at knifepoint? Her odds of survival had just exponentially increased.
