Revenge Of The Rogue Heiress novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 

Samson cast one final gaze at the bottom of the cliff, his eyes growing grim

Eventually, he let out a silent sigh and turned away. He then took Meghan’s hand as they walked back

Everything that transpired was written in Evangeline’s fate

Despite Evangeline’s sharp instincts and formidable combat skills, she was pushed off the cliff by Meghan. Fate, it seemed, had its own script. sealing Evangeline’s destiny to meet her demise in this tragic moment

About 12 feet beneath the cliff, a cave carved into the rock awaited

Sitting at the entrance of the cave, Evangeline listened as the sound of their footsteps diminished. A cold chuckle escaped her lips as she mused, Wanted me dead? Too bad for them, I guess. Death was never in my cards. I don’t just go out that easily

Evangeline was not oblivious to Meghan’s approaching menace. She had anticipated what Meghan was about to do

She knew she would be pushed off the cliff, and giving Meghan the chance to throw her off was a deliberate move on Evangeline’s part. At the same time, it was a strategic plan for an escape

Seated at the cliff’s edge long before their arrival, Evangeline meticulously assessed the surroundings below

Even without the cave, the dense foliage of trees promised to break her fall

The sounds reaching Samson and Meghan were the echoes of the stones she had tossed down

Giving Meghan the chance to push her off the cliff was a calculated plan to expose Meghan’s true nature to the foolish Samion

To Evangeline’s surprise, Samson proved to be so pathetically naive and easily swayed 

Evangeline had severed ties with the Gallagher family, grateful not to have such a gullible brother. Otherwise, she would have been embarrassed to be associated with such foolishness 

Regaining her composure, Evangeline ventured into the cave

Finding herself bored and with time on her hands, Evangeline saw this as an adventure

Night settled over the forest

Jolene, Kendrick, and Travis waited anxiously, but Evangeline showed no sign of returning 

Jolene kept her eyes fixed on the deep forest. Evangeline is never this late. Why hasn’t she returned yet? She always comes back right after sunset. It’s almost dark now. Could something have happened to her?she asked worriedly

Travis said, She’s good at fighting. Even the monkeys recognize her as their leader. She’ll be fine.” 

Kendrick added, Maybe she found an interesting spot and lost track of time. Let’s just give her a bit more time

Meanwhile, Meghan and Samson sat nearby. Hearing their conversation, Meghan could not hold back a contemptuous smile

They can wait all they want, but Evangeline’s never coming back!she sneered within herself 

Meghan took out the myrtle berries they had collected and shared them with Samson

Looking at Jolene and the others, she declared with a smirk, Without Evangeline, you all must be starving. I’ve got plenty here. Apologize for last nigla, and maybe I’ll share some with you.” 

Jolene and the others cast her a glance, then turned their attention away, showing no intention of apologizing

Meghan snored coldly. Humph. We’ll see how long you can keep up the attitude 

With

Evangeline out of the picture now, Meglun figured it was only a matter of time before they came begging for her help

She was in no hurry, after all

Meanwhile, discussions erupted about Evangeline’s absence

A commenter wrote: [Where is Evangeline? Where’d she got She wasn’t seen since she walked out of the shooting area in the morning. Where did she go?

A netizen added: [Samson and Meghan moved with Evangeline earlier. The two of them came back, but not Evangeline. What’s going on!

Another speculated: Could Meghan and Samson have killed Evangeline?

A netizen quickly dismissed that idea. That’s impossible. Meghan and Samson are no formidable opponents for Evangeline. There’s no way they can beat her. Even with ten or more people, it’s no threat to Evangeline!

Another asked: [What exactly happened to Evangeline! Did she encounter wild animals? Was she eaten by them!

The production team did not expect anyone to delve so deep into the forest. There were no hidden cameras installed that far out, so no one knew where Evangeline had gone or saw Meghan pushing the former off a cliff

Dallas had been initially impressed by the capabilities of this group of pampered celebrities venturing into half of the forest. As an extra precaution, cameras were strategically placed near the mountains behind the forest 

However, Evangeline surpassed all expectations

Had Dallas known she could roam so far, they would have installed cameras in more distant locations

With Evangeline going beyond the filming location, today’s livestream saw a significant drop in viewership, from tens of millions to just hundreds of thousands of views

Jolene and the others, who stood rooted to the ground, offered nothing interesting to watch

The remaining viewers kept asking about Evangeline’s return to the filming locations 

All those people were eagerly waiting for Evangeline to reappear

Impatient viewers took to Twitter, creating trending topics that gained considerable traction. These posts urged those stationed at the filming locations to notify Dallas immediately if Evangeline appeared

At this moment, Dallas, seeing Meghan and Samion returning without Evangeline, immediately contacted the crew members stationed in the 

forest 

You guys, go and find Evangeline. It’s been almost ten hours since she was last seen on camera. Find out where she went,Dallas instructed. He was careful not to ask about what might have happened to Evangeline, not wanting his words to be some kind of jinx for her vanishing act “Huh?Dallas suddenly muttered when he spotted a familiar figure on one of the camera feeds

Evangeline, missing for almost ten hours, seemed to have returned unharmed

Excitement trembled in Dallasvoice as he urgently exclaimed, Stop the search. Evangeline has appeared! She’s back!” 

I told you so! With her skills, even monkeys would be no match. Even a tiger would become a kitten around her someone exclaimed

You guys continue to patrol and protect the guests secretly. Don’t reveal yourselves unless it’s absolutely necessary!Dallas instructed again

With that, Dallas switched the large screen in the livestream to the scene where Evangeline appeared

At this time, Evangeline was retracing the same path she had taken earlier in the day, eventually coming to a halt at the base of the mountain where the monkeys had claimed their territory

It was too late to navigate through the forest, so instead of heading back to the filming locations, she chose to spend the night there

The base of the mountain was blanketed with expansive turf. The scenery was also remarkable with its unobstructed view

At the foot of the mountain, the air was refreshingly cool

Setting her backpack down, Evangeline called out to the mountains, “Kingka, are you there?” 

With a rustling noise, the monkey king’s roar echoed from the mountain. Howl!” 

Soon, the monkeys went down the mountain and surrounded her

Evangeline noticed a few missing from the troop, with some carrying injuries. The monkey king’s left elbow and its left forelimb hung at an odd angle, its hand clearly dislocated and distorted 

Chapter 23 

What happened? Why are you all in this state? Evangeline drowned, slightly upset by the sight of the monkey’s injury

The monkeys chattered for a while, seemingly cager to tell her what had happened. Fury shone on their faces, though Evangeline struggled to grasp their communication fully

Were you attacked by other animals?Evangeline wondered aloud, contemplating the wilderness as the only plausible explanation 

Samson’s people could not have been the culprits

His people were no match for the monkeys

The monkey king nodded vigorously, confirming her speculation

Evangeline then said, It’s too late to deal with that today. Take me to them tomorrow. Come here. Let me see if I can treat your injuries.” 

The monkey king’s eyes lit up for a second at that prospect

As Evangeline sat on the ground, the monkey king obediently approached her

She turned on a flashlight, and a nearby monkey held it for her, illuminating the injured hand of the monkey king

She reached out and probed the monkey king’s left hand, causing it to cry out in pain repeatedly 

After examining it for a moment, Evangeline made a swift motion 

Crack

With a sharp snap, the monkey king’s voice cut off sharply with a snap, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face. Glancing down at its left forelimb, it realized the hand had returned to normal shape

The monkey kind tried to move its forelimb, and while it hurt a line, it was functioning again

Ecstatic, the monkey king howled joyously, circling Evangeline as if to express gratitude

The other monkeys joined in the celebration, their eyes filled with admiration as if witnessing miracle

Just a dislocation. I’ve reset it for you, Evangeline explained. But take it easy for a while. No swinging from tree to tree, okay? Be cautious not to dislocate it again. Once it fully recovers, you can go back to doing whatever you want

Whether or not it understood, the monkey king continued to howl in delight 

Evangeline turned to the others. Line up, injured ones. Let me take a look and lend a hand.”
