The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 968

Chapter 968 Ingratitude

For her to treat Ariana this way now was, frankly, ungrateful.

Rianne said, “I have nothing to say to you.”

Her attitude was as firm as ever, and she immediately tried to shake off Tempest’s hand.

Tempest tightened his grip. “Let William out first. Can we just confront this matter clearly? If there’s any misunderstanding, we can resolve it face–to–face.”

Madam Linden added, “That’s right, Rianne. Whatever the misunderstanding, let’s clear it up in person. If William really was wrong, we’ll have her apologize to you.”

Rianne scoffed.

“Apologize…”

She forcefully shook off Tempest’s hand and pulled up her sleeve. “Do you see this?”

R

“This is frostbite from the cave on the cliff. Tempest, what exactly are you having her apologize for? And how could she?”

Tempest looked at Rianne’s wrist and the back of her hand. The frostbite had mostly faded, leaving only a slight redness.

His expression darkened slightly. He recalled what Hailey had said: The weather in Yalvaria is terrible, and she had been here for days. Getting frostbite was normal.

Tempest looked at Rianne, ignoring her question. “Just let her out first, all right?”

Tempest stressed the words “all right” heavily.

It was clear that since arriving in Yalvaria, he had been unable to get Ariana out, and his patience had reached its limit.

Hearing Tempest’s words, Rianne’s heart sank.

When it came to Ariana, she no longer had the energy to say anything.

Seeing Rianne remain silent, merely staring coldly at Tempest, Madam Linden grew extremely anxious.

“At least let William out for medical treatment. Just let me see her.”

Madam Linden was frantic, having no idea what condition her William was in.

She had been unable to eat or sleep back in Rivermount Now that she was here and still couldn’t see her, she was consumed by anxiety.

Rianne said, “That’s not my decision to make.”

She said this and turned to leave.

Madam Linden, having already softened her tone, was enraged that Rianne still refused to budge..

Chapter 968 Ingratitude

“Rianne, are you really going to disregard all our history”

Finished

Rianne stopped. Without turning back, she narrowed her eyes. “Madam Linden, please do not insult the word ‘history.”

History?

No one in the entire Hale family was qualified to speak to her about history. They simply didn’t deserve to.

Madam Linden: “…”

Madam Linden’s heart sank at Rianne’s words. How could she…? She was too ruthless.

“If that’s the case, we will hire the best lawyers in the world for William. Are you sure you want to take the Hale family to court?”

Rianne closed her eyes, offered no response, and walked away.

Eddie emerged from around the corner, a mocking smile on his face as he looked at Tempest.

When Tempest saw Eddie, his head throbbed.

Eddie tutted. “So, do you not believe Rianne was actually kidnapped by Ariana? Or do you just feel too sorry for your dear sister?”

“Shut up!”

Rianne’s coldness had nearly driven Tempest mad. He was in no mood to deal with Eddie.

Eddie continued, “Your sister commits kidnapping, she kidnaps the woman you supposedly love, and now you’re going to face that same woman in court.”

“Tempest, I’m serious. After this, who would ever dare get involved with the Hale family? Who would dare marry into a family like yours? You devour people whole and spit out the bones.”

Having said his piece, Eddie also turned and left.

Tempest felt like his head was about to explode.

Madam Linden was furious. “What kind of friends does Rianne keep?”

“She’s got some nerve, ganging up with outsiders against the Hale family. After all the Hale family did…”

“The Hale family didn’t raise her. I did.”

Tempest cut Madam Linden off, his voice cold.

Madam Linden: “…”

Tempest said, “You haven’t shown her any affection in years. You can’t call her ungrateful.”

Madam Linden retorted, “Did I ever let her go hungry or naked?”

“The things you arranged for never reached her.”
