Chapter 153 Fake Heiress

Chapter 153 Fake Heiress

Whitney nodded and turned toward the kitchen.

Nora scurried after her, eager not to be left behind.

Elian let out a dramatic yelp. “Nora, you’re so sly. We’re both Whitney’s sidekicks, and you cut in line.”

Nora stuck her tongue out at Elian, then slammed the kitchen door shut with a loud bang.

Watching these two bicker like an old married couple, Whitney couldn’t help but laugh.

She kept her hands busy and asked, “So, what is it you want to tell me?”

Nora dutifully grabbed some vegetables from the counter and went to wash them. As she rinsed them, she tilted her head, sneaking glances at Whitney, her eyes bright with curiosity.

“Whitney, do you think? Is it possible that Emily isn’t actually the true heiress of the Anderson family?” Nora asked.

Whitney’s hands froze for a second. “Why do you think that?”

“Before I came over, I overheard Emily on the phone at Roynfort Broadcasting,” Nora said.

Nora turned off the faucet, scooted over to Whitney, and leaned in with a secretive grin. “Whitney, I heard Emily call the person on the other end, Mom.”

Whitney raised an eyebrow, pausing her work to look at Nora.

Nora said, “I’m positive the voice on the other end wasn’t Mrs. Anderson. Emily kept calling her Mom, and she even asked her to transfer over 3 million dollars.

“One word, and she got over 3 million dollars? That has to be her real mom.

“So, if that woman is Emily’s real mom, then Mrs. Anderson isn’t actually her mom?”

After all, you can only have one real mom.

That’s why Nora started to suspect that Emily might not be the true Anderson heiress after all.

Whitney’s eyes sparkled with mischief as she grinned. “Emily’s real mom.”

Nora nodded hard. “Exactly. I swear I didn’t hear it wrong. She called that woman Mom, and even said that person wanted to shove her onto some variety show to ruin her or something.”

Nora frowned, trying her best to recall and repeat the conversation she’d overheard in the restroom earlier that day.

Then she added, “I think I heard her say she had to come up with six point seven million dollars or she’d be finished. And if I heard right, she was giving all that money to Kayla.”

Whitney nodded. She wiped her hands and ruffled Nora’s hair. “I know about this now, but act like you didn’t hear anything, alright?”

If Emily ever found out, Nora might not make it out alive.

Don’t underestimate how ruthless Emily could be.

Emily had always been selfish to the core.

If anyone ever got in her way, she’d do whatever it took to get rid of them.

Look at what she did to Whitney back then.

Nora nodded obediently, scrubbing the veggies as she went. “I’ve always had a bad feeling about that two-faced witch. Who knew she had another mom? She’s not even the real deal. Her bloodline’s totally bogus.

“She used to strut around, acting all high and mighty as the Anderson heiress, bullying everyone. Turns out she’s a fake heiress.”

As she spoke, Nora suddenly whipped her head around. “Whitney, you used to live with the Anderson family. From what I know, they’re not exactly the charitable type. No way they’d take in an orphan for nothing.”

Her big, round eyes went wide as the thought hit her. “Wait, Whitney, are you like one of those real heiresses you see in web novels?

“So, you’re actually the true Anderson heiress, and that two-faced witch is a fake? That’s why she’s always coming after you. She’s scared you’ll take back everything that’s rightfully yours.

“So you’re basically one of those real heiresses in web novels, finally finding your true family, only for them to be obsessed with the fake heiress, letting her frame you and making your life a total nightmare.”

Chapter 153 Fake Heiress

Whitney was at a loss for words.

‘Nora’s imagination is seriously off the charts. But I have to admit, she’s got it all right, Whitney thought.

When Whitney didn’t deny it, Nora’s eyes grew even wider. “No way. Real life is like those novels. There are actually families who ignore their own daughter and pamper a fake one?”

She didn’t even care that she was soaking wet. She threw herself into Whitney’s arms, hugging her tightly and wailing, Whitney, you poor thing.”

Whitney was speechless ‘She’s really overdoing it, she thought.

She pushed Nora away.

Then, grabbing Nora by the wrist, she tossed her out of the kitchen. “Alright, stop making a mess in here, and quit coming up with those crazy plot twists.”

When Elian saw Nora get kicked out, he teased, “Looks like someone got rejected by Whitney.”

Nora lifted her chin and snorted proudly. “Ignorant mortals, you have no clue what epic stuff Whitney and I went through. From now on, I’m Whitney’s number one sidekick.

“Whitney and I are in the same secret club now. You? You’re out.”

Elian blinked. “Wait, what secret?”

Nora giggled. “It’s a secret. No way I’m telling you.”

Outside, the two of them started bickering again.

Whitney closed the kitchen door.

It seemed Emily had known from the very beginning that she was a fake heiress of the Anderson family.

And she’d been in contact with her real mother for a long time.

‘But when did Emily find out the truth? And when did she start reaching out to her real mom?” Whitney thought.

From what Nora overheard, it was clear.

Emily and her real mom were really close.

All these years, Emily had been milking the Anderson family for cash and funneling it straight to her real mom.

So when Emily asked for 3 million dollars, her real mom agreed without a second thought.

She didn’t even hesitate for a moment.

But what really grabbed Whitney’s attention wasn’t the identity of Emily’s real mother.

It was that mysterious person Emily kept talking about.

In her previous life, Emily had mentioned that person several times.

Whenever she framed Whitney and made the Andersons hate her even more, she’d bring up that person.

And in the end, after Whitney’s car accident, the Andersons brutally finished her off for Emily.

Emily once said, “Whitney, if you die and turn into a ghost, go take it out on the Andersons. Don’t come after me.

“Who told you to get in my way? Who told you to mess with that person’s plans?

“If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for ever being born.

“If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being so pathetic. You couldn’t even win the Andersons’ love, so all you’ re good for is being a stepping stone for me and that person.”

That person. It was clear they were the real mastermind pulling Emily’s strings from the shadows.

And Emily’s real mom seemed to be deeply entangled with them too.

This was all part of some grand scheme.

But what was the true purpose behind such an elaborate plot?

Whitney’s gaze darkened slightly.

Looks like she wasn’t after the one responsible for her mentor’s disappearance and the curse placed on Ryan.

She also had to find a way to unmask the person pulling the strings behind Emily.

‘So much to do, Whitney thought.
