The Scorned Heiress's Hidden Empire (by Jade Quinn) novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112

When the box was opened, it revealed a collection of beautifully designed canvas bags. The front of cach bag featured a memorable quote from Daybreak, while the back sported a simple Bluebell logo

The fans instantly erupted with excitement.

“Wow! There’s even merch!”

“This is so thoughtful!”

“The bags look amazing!”

The staff started handing out the bags, and each one contained a custom bookmark, a postcard, and a small pin.

Ryan took his bag and opened it, his eyes lit up.

“Oh my god! Natalie really went all out with this! This bookmark is gorgeous!” Ryan said.

Jason glanced down at the postcard in his hand, which featured an illustration of a classic scene from Daybreak.

The fans in the audience were thrilled as they received their gifts.

“Bluebell, you’re the best!”

“I’m going to use this bag forever!”

“I’m literally crying, I’m so glad I came today!”

“These are all custom–made, they can’t be cheap… Did Bluebell blow all her royalties just to spoil us?”

Once the distribution was nearly complete, Natalie spoke again.

“Also, there’s another gift waiting outside,” she said.

She paused.

“For those of you who couldn’t get tickets but still waited outside all day.”

The audience fell silent for a moment.

Then, the applause grew even louder.

“Oh my god! She even prepared gifts for those waiting outside?”

“Bluebell is so thoughtful!”

I’m literally crying.

Outside, the fans who hadn’t made it inside were sull holding up signs and craning their necks, hoping to catch a glimpse of what was happening. Suddenly, they saw the staff wheeling out several large boxes.

Chapter 112

“Nearly 300 thousand dollars? Holy crap!”

“Bluebell is crazy rich!”

“No, she actually treats us like family!”

“I’m crying. How did I get so lucky to have such an amazing author?”

“Are we gonna bankrupt her at this rate?”

5 vouchers

Ryan, sitting in the front row, overheard the chatter behind him and couldn’t help but mutter under his breath.

“300 thousand dollars… Natalie really goes all out for her fans.”

Jason glanced at Natalie on stage, a gentle smile tugging at his lips.

“As long as she’s happy,” he said softly.

Blake, with his cool, chiseled features, chimed in, “I’ll cover it for Natalie!”

Ethan wasn’t about to be outdone. “Me too! I’ll cover it for Natalie!”

Ryan blinked, thinking, ‘So this is what a five–brother bidding war for Natalie looks like?‘

Ryan snorted. “See how out of your league you are compared to my sister? If you know what’s good for you, keep your distance!”

Evan put on a fake smile. He was just tagging along with the Mitchell family to get backstage. “All right, whatever!”

Ryan saw Evan acting all friendly, which was totally out of character for him. ‘He’s definitely up to something, Ryan thought.

Just as they were about to reach the backstage entrance, Ryan finally caught on and quickly blocked Evan’s way. “Hey, hey, hey! I still don’t know what you’re planning, but it’s not happening!”

He glanced at the security guard and pointed at the sign. “Outsiders not allowed! Keep an eye on him!”

Evan’s mouth twitched. “Come on, really? I’m not some riffraff!”

He put his hands on his hips and kept yelling after Ryan, but Ryan didn’t even bother to respond.

The security guard just smiled and politely motioned him out.

Natalie took a moment to rest in the lounge, glancing at the incoming deposit notifications on her phone.

She didn’t even have to guess, her five brothers‘ competitive streak was clearly at work again.

But honestly, she didn’t mind their competitiveness one bit.

“Natalie! Natalie! Natalie! Natalie! Natalie!” Ryan burst into the room, shouting at the top of his lungs.

But before he could get any closer, Blake grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and yanked him back.

Ryan struggled a bit, but when he realized he couldn’t break free, he just gave up. “Natalie, you’re actually Bluebell? And you never told us something this huge?!

“Seeing you today just blew my mind!

“No wonder you said you were busy this morning, so this is what you were hiding!”

Natalie put her phone away, shrugged, and said, “You never even asked!”

Ryan opened his mouth to protest, but realized he couldn’t argue with that.
