The Reborn Hidden Heiress: Spoiled by All (Larissa) novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260 A Storm of Attention

Carter was actually blushing.

Thea watched him with a bright, amused smile, clearly enjoying his reaction.

Carter felt heat creep up his neck. Embarrassed, he quickly looked away.

A moment later, it finally hit him that the playful girl was flirting with him.

She was lively in a way that was hard to ignore–clever, playful, and always smiling.

Ever since she appeared, it felt as if a small stone had been dropped into the calm lake of his heart. It stirred quiet ripples he hadn’t expected.

That same afternoon, Larissa flew back to Marcrest with Wesley on his private jet.

But the moment they stepped off the plane, they were immediately surrounded.

Reporters, teachers, professors, and wealthy business partners crowded forward, each group pushing for their own reason.

The reporters were chasing the biggest headline of the day.

News had already spread that Larissa had scored a perfect score and taken first place in the Global Academic Competition. She had brought honor to the country.

Since she was from Marcrest, many reporters had rushed to the airport early, hoping luck would be on their side and they might catch a glimpse of her.

The teachers and professors had come for the same person.

A genuis like Larissa was extremely rare, the kind every school dreamed of recruiting. If she enrolled, the school’s reputation would rise overnight. Several professors were even hoping to take her as their student.

So they waited patiently, hoping she might appear.

The business owners had another reason.

They heard that Wesley had already reached a partnership with Everwell Pharma. That meant big opportunities. So they waited here for Wesley, hoping to get a piece of the deal.

After all, Everreach had just discovered a diamond mine.

A mine like that was worth a fortune.

It was the kind of business that could bring endless profit. Of course everyone wanted a share.

Larissa had not expected things to become this lively back home. In just a moment, she felt like she had become the most sought–after person in the city.

Wesley quietly escorted her home.

Before she went inside, he reminded her seriously, “Go home and get some rest. Those assassins are all dead. But from the tattoos on their bodies, they were most likely from the Bennetts.”

He paused before adding, “Be careful wherever you go. They’re ruthless. If they tried once, they’ll probably try again.”

Larissa had already guessed it was the Bennetts.

For some reason, she and the Bennetts had always been enemies, no matter what life she lived.

‘Thank you, Mr. Robinett,” Larissa said calmly. “I’ll be careful.”

Wesley watched her walk inside the villa.

Then he pulled out his phone and made a call. “Find evidence of crimes committed by Bennett Group.”

Bennett Group? You mean Bennett Group from the Eldercrown?” The voice on the other end sounded shocked.

Boss, that’s a tough target. They’re one of the most powerful families around. They control both legal and llegal businesses. And their family head, Duncan Bennett, is known for being ruthless.”

The man laughed nervously.

You’re asking me to investigate them? That’s practically asking me to risk my life. If you want me to do something that dangerous, what’s the reward?”

The speaker was a famous hacker and Wesley’s longtime friend, Cassian Sherman.

Wesley answered calmly, “The land in Southvale is yours.”

There was a brief pause. Then, Cassian suddenly sounded excited.

Deal! It’s a promise!”

He perked right up.

Wow, dude, you’re really generous. Did the Bennetts offend you or something? Wait a minute. Is this about a girl? Are you standing up for your girlfriend? That land is worth 2 billion dollars. You’re really going all out.”

He chuckled again.

‘Well, money talks. Just sit back and relax. I’ll dig up every piece of dirt Bennett Group has.”

After hanging up, Wesley rubbed his forehead.

The Bennett Group would not be easy to deal with. But for Larissa, he had to prepare ahead of time.

After all, Larissa had already faced two assassination attempts while in Moblos.

The last attack had been especially dangerous. They had sent many skilled killers.

If Larissa had not been capable of defending herself, she might already be dead.

Meanwhile, Larissa stepped into the villa.

The moment Ruby saw her daughter, she rushed over and hugged her tightly. “Sweetheart! You’re finally home. When I heard someone tried to kill you, I couldn’t sleep at night. I was so worried.”
