Revenge Of The Rogue Heiress novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22 

The monkeys keenly sensed the presence of others, and the creatures turned their collective gaze toward Samson and Meghan

Evangeline said, Ignore them. They pose no threat

The monkeyst 

then looked away and encircled Evangeline

The other monkeys had even offered Evangeline bananas, placing the bunch of fruit in front of her

Evangeline directed, You two go ahead. I’ll just have two.” 

When she had finished eating, she stood up and was set for a stroll

This time, Evangeline did not go up the hill. Instead, she walked along the foothill, thinking she would explore the other places

The monkeys wanted to follow her, but Evangeline said. Don’t follow me. Go play on your own. I’ll walk alone.” 

The next second, the monkey king signaled its troop of monkeys to return to the mountain

Meghan and Samson quietly followed Evangeline from a distance

After a brief walk. Evangeline stumbled upon another wild fruit

It was myrtle berries

There was a bounty of the wild fruit, all ripe. The myrtle berries were black and were all about the size of a thumb

Memories flooded back to Evangeline’s childhood, recalling their delightful taste but also the painful aftermath of overindulging in these berries. If consumed too much, these myrtle berries would only lead to a diarrhea 

Back then, with little knowledge about the fruit, Evangeline vividly recalled the discomfort she faced after a berry binge. In the end, it was her good friend who came to the rescue, helping her clean her stinky pants because of the diarrhea

Her friend said he had to hold his breath while doing the cleaning

The experience left her friend so disgusted that he could not bring himself to eat for days

Evangeline could not even look her friend in the eyes for days

Evangeline ate the myrtle berries while picking them

She was cautious not to eat more than 20 berries and continued walking, fearing the discomfort it might bring

Before Meghan could venture far, she ran toward the myrtle plant. Eyes gleaming with excitement, she eagerly plucked the berries with both hands and gulfed them down.. 

Since she acted too quickly, even the leaves found their way into her mouth

Samson followed suit, equally eager to pick the berries

The two devoured the berries in silence

Their wild feast continued until satisfaction filled their stomachs and only stopped when the ingested myrtle berries were regurgitated with a medley of belches

Meghan said, Sam, wasn’t my decision spot on? Look what it led us to. Food!” 

Tm full. I haven’t been so full for a long time!Samson said

It was just wild fruit, but it served its purpose of satiating their hunger

samsons f

face lit up with a grin. Well, you’ve always been the smartest since you were a kid. Thanks to you, Meghan, I wouldn’t be stuck surviving on wild vegetables alone today. You’re my lucky star, Meghan” 

Meghan smiled

Meghan proposed, Sam, let’s keep exploring. We might find more to eat. If not, we can gather some to take with us

Samson nodded in agreement

As the terrain was rarely traveled in, each step taken would leave visible marks on the ground with each step. Following these traces for nearly half an hour, they finally spotted Evangeline

There was a cliff ahead

As they peered over the edge, a breathtaking landscape of mountains and forests came into view

Evangeline was sitting on the cliff’s edge as she watched the scenery

Sitting at the very edge of the cliff, the slightest shift in accident would send her tumbling down the clif 

Just then. Meghan’s eyes betrayed a malevolent gleam, and a sinister thought took root in her mind

If only Evangeline fell off the cliff and died in this remote mountainshe thought

The thought of this dark idea consumed her as soon as it appeared in her mind

silently

yapproaching Evangeline and pushing her off seemed like an effortless way to rid themselves of her

The idea repeated in Meghan’s mind like a sinister chant. She whispered inwardly, I’m going to push Evangeline off the cliff! I’m going to push Evangeline off the cliff I’m going to push Evangeline off the cliff!! 

With a malicious glint in her eyes, Meghan advanced slowly toward Evangeline

She took slow, light steps as she approached Evangeline, afraid of alerting the latter

Samson frowned and tried to follow, but Meghan caught his shoulder and shook her head, holding him back

Quietly, Meghan whispered in his car, Don’t come over. I’ll apologize to her. Maybe we can make peace before leaving the forest 

Samson thought for a moment and nodded

Evangeline, skilled in wilderness survival, could be an invaluable ally

Samson looked at Meghan from behind, a relieved smile gracing his face

He always saw Meghan as a sensible person. Even with the many grievances Meghan had suffered, she had always repeatedly apologized to Evangeline to keep the peace between them, a trait he found superior to Evangeline’s behavior

Meghan

soon stopped behind Evangeline

Evangeline was still 

on the edge of the cliff, motionless, oblivious that someone

was approaching her 

The sinister glint in Meghan’s eyes intensified

Suddenly, she bent down, and with forceful determination, she pushed Evangeline off the cliff

Evangeline was thrown off the cliff and plunged downward

Meghan was so excited that her entire body trembled. She quickly took a few steps back, fearing she would fall off. Her plot had succeeded

Finally rid of that wretched Evangeline? she silently cheered

Meghan, what have you donel Samson exclaimed in horror

He quickly rushed to the edge of the cliff, and it was at that moment a loud noise echoed from below

Samson’s face paled, his feet going cold as he lay at the clid’s edge, anxiously peering below

However, his view was obstructed by a thick cluster of trees along the wall of the cliff, leaving him in agonizing uncertainty about what lay beneath 

the cliff

Evangeline! Can you hear me? Evangeline, are you still alive? Samson shouted down the cliff with his voice trembling

Yet, there was no response, only the echo of the bowling wind

Meghan’s triumphant voice came from behind. Stop shouting. It took her so long to fall. Look at the height of the cliff. Her bones must be broken. There’s no way she survived.” 

Samson trembled violently

He stood up from the ground and glared at Meghan with bloodshot eyes from anger. Why did you push Evangeline off the cliff? Do you realize she could die from this?he asked furiously

Unapologetic. Meghan declared, I wanted her dead

Samson looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger. You did it intentionally? She’s my sister! How could you kill her? Even if she’s not my biological sister, she’s still a human being. How could you take a life?” 

Meghan’s face gleamed sinisterly as she justified her actions, saying. You’ve seen what she did to us these days! She was always hitting us. She did nothing when you had a fever. She even took you to the water and hit yout She left you to die in the water!” 

She continued. She is one vicious woman. She’s better off dead! Why are you so upset? I killed her to avenge you!
