The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 464

Cassie laughed wildly, twirling and dancing in front of Laura's bed, her red wedding dress swirling around her. After finishing her dance, she clapped her hands and called for the hypnotist to begin erasing the memories of Charles, Wesley, and Sheldon.

The hypnotist approached Charles, locking eyes with him. But just as Cassie lowered her guard, the hypnotist suddenly turned, and in a flash, plunged a dagger straight into her chest.

"Mr. Holden Senior, I've come to save you," he declared.

The moment the hypnotist spoke, Cassie froze, her eyes widening in disbelief. "You—how dare you betray me?"

"That's right, I did."

With a swift motion, the hypnotist wiped their face, smearing away the disguise to reveal their true identity.

"Adam, I sent you overseas! Why are you here?" Cassie gasped, staggering backward, clutching at the wound on her chest.

"Mr. Holden Senior, Mr. Holden, I'm back." Adam Harris turned toward Charles, helping him up as the door burst open. A squad of well-trained men stormed inside, swiftly overpowering Cassie's guards.

Cassie screamed in fury. "Adam Harris! You're nothing but my father's stray dog! How dare you turn against me?"

Adam glanced at her with cold indifference. "Ms. Cassie, it's time for you to wake up. Stop this madness.

"Tell me, do you really love Wesley? Or have you just been using that excuse to justify your twisted desires?"

"Adam, you're back?" Charles, still weak, steadied himself with Adam's support. Seeing Adam again filled him with relief. "Bring Lucy in."

Moments later, Lucy was dragged into the room. Without hesitation, Adam stepped forward and kicked her hard in the stomach.

"Save Laura," he commanded.

"I can't." Lucy whimpered, clutching her stomach, her tear-filled eyes pleading as she looked up at Adam. "Adam, I love you. Have you forgotten that night at the hotel?"

"Lucy Maine! You think I've forgotten what you did?" Adam roared. "You and Cassie drugged me! You impersonated my wife and climbed into my bed! That night was the most humiliating moment of my life!"

His anger erupted as he roared, "Because of your twisted schemes, my wife went into premature labor!"

"Daddy!" A soft, childlike voice rang out from the doorway.

Adam turned to see his young son, Elijah, being led inside by his wife, Abigail Ashford. Behind them, a nanny cradled a newborn—Noah, just recently born.

Abigail's eyes were red with tears as she stepped forward. "Ms. Cassie, Adam and I have been nothing but loyal to the Holden family. Why did you have to do this to us?"

She trembled with anger. "Adam and I were happy together. Why did you betray his trust? Why did you drug him? Why did you send this woman into his bed to impersonate me?

"Ms. Cassie, how could you be so cruel?"

"Abigail, enough!" Cassie clutched at her bleeding wound, glaring venomously. "Adam is nothing but a worthless orphan my father took in! Without the Holden family, he wouldn't be where he is today! His life belongs to us. He does what I tell him to do!"

Cassie sneered. "Being desired by Lucy should be an honor for him! And you, Abigail, if you were smart, you'd step aside. Look at yourself—a mere vegetable vendor's daughter. How could you ever compare to Lucy?"

"Enough," Adam growled.

He stepped forward and grabbed Cassie by the throat, forcing a pill into her mouth.

She choked, struggling against him, but he pressed down hard, making her swallow it.
