The True Heiress: Legend Mode novel Chapter 140

By the time Rhiannon reached the top, she was drenched in sweat. Panting heavily, she shoved the package inside and turned to shut the door, only to find Juno suddenly standing in the frame.

Guilty as sin, Rhiannon instinctively tried to slam it shut, shoving against the heavy wood.

Juno slammed a hand flat against the door, her expression vicious. "What are you sneaking around doing in broad daylight?"

Rhiannon pushed with all her might, but it was useless. She cursed furiously, "None of your damn business!! Are you psycho, Juno?! I'm going to my room and you have to micromanage that too?!"

Juno held up the photograph in her left hand, glaring dead at Rhiannon. "Where did you get this?"

Rhiannon looked down and realized a photo had slipped out somewhere.

Panic seized her. Her plan couldn't die before it even started! In her desperation, she completely stopped talking and fought violently to force the door shut.

Even in her panic, she remembered to kick the package further into the room.

But in the end, Rhiannon was no match for Juno's strength. With one violent shove, Juno sent both the door and Rhiannon flying inward.

Juno stepped into the room, completely ignoring the girl sprawled on the floor. Her eyes locked onto the package, and she bent down to grab it.

Seeing stars from the fall, Rhiannon's heart stopped. She absolutely cannot take that!

In a blind panic, she snatched a box cutter off a nearby desk. She figured Juno would dodge, giving her just enough time to grab the package back.

But to her absolute shock, Juno didn't even flinch. The blade sliced straight across the back of Juno's hand. Blood instantly welled up, coating her hand in crimson within a split second.

Blood ran down her wrist, dripping heavily onto the floor.

Rhiannon was paralyzed. She stammered, "W-Why didn't you dodge?!"

Her hand shook so violently she dropped the cutter. She backed against the wall, hyperventilating.

Growing up around people like that, how decent could she possibly be?

Juno's eyes slowly turned bloodshot.

Alongside the photos on the floor were a voice recorder, a contract, and a flash drive.

Juno didn't even need to look to know exactly what was on them.

Hearing the commotion, Wilma rushed upstairs. "Oh my goodness! What is going on?! Miss Juno, what are you doing in Rhiannon's room?! You may be the lady of the Corrington family, but you can't just throw your weight around and act this savagely!"

Rhiannon glanced up and saw Matilda standing in the doorway. She instantly put on a terrified face, not daring to make a sound.

Now, she was just praying Juno would lose her mind and go completely feral.

That way, Grandma would hate her even more, and Juno getting kicked out of the Jagger family would only be a matter of time!
