The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60 Thank Me A Few More Times

Harriet had never seen Raylee this angry before, not even on the day she was pushed into the swimming pool and nearly drowned. She had never exuded such a powerful aura. Could she genuinely intend to fight with Samuel till the bitter end?

Harriet quickly tried to mediate, saying, “Ray–Ray, he’s your older brother, one you’ve regarded for eighteen years. There’s no such thing as lasting resentment between siblings-

Before she could finish, she was abruptly cut off by Raylee, who declared. “This grudge has already formed. It’s either he dies, or I perish in this life!”

Harriet shifted her pleading gaze toward Alaric.

The latter had also noticed that Raylee was genuinely angry this time. After deep contemplation, he still decided to plead on behalf of Samuel, saying, “Ray–Ray, Samuel had a moment of foolishness. Look, I’ve already given him quite the beating. I’ll continue to teach him a lesson when we get home. Could you find it in your heart to forgive him just this once?”

“Yeah, Raylee…

Waverly also intended to plead but was stopped by a fierce glance from Raylee.

She was so f

frightened that tears streamed down her face, and she dared not utter another word.

Suddenly, her gaze landed on the entrance. The second she saw Casimir, she rushed toward him and hugged him like he was her sanctuary, pleading tearfully, “Casimir, please persuade Raylee. She refused to forgive Samuel and even said she wanted. him dead!

Casimir’s face was devoid of emotion as he quietly pushed Waverly away, entering the private room without uttering a word.

Raylee also stared at him, their eyes meeting. The anger painting her face softened instantly, and her thoughts of resentment gradually faded away.

Waverly felt like she had found her sanctuary. The same goes for me. To some extent, my survival and eventual departure from the psychiatric hospital were connected with Casimir. Hating someone is easy, but it’s hard not to be moved by someone sending help in your hour of need. Such is the contradictory nature of humans.

She wasn’t sure how long he had stood at the entrance and how much he had heard.

Kaylee began, sounding slightly hoarse, “Are you also going to plead for Samuel, Mr. Sutherland? Save your breath. It’s pointless!”

play the medi

initially, she thought Casimir would play the mediator.

After all, he and Samuel had a bond that stemmed from growing up together, and they were known in their circle as steadfast buddies.

Yet, he stared at her intently, his expression abruptly turning incredibly anxious.

Taking a step forward, Casimir approached Raylee, anxiously saying, “I found out about your situation from Percival. He mentioned that after he rescued you from the psychiatric hospital, you vanished. Where have you been these past few days? Do you realize how dangerous it is to wander alone while still injured? Or did you go to Jeremiah’s place?”

His tone was heavy with worry, and there was a hint of jealousy when he spoke his last sentence.

Kaylee was left utterly confused. Why is Casimir not…playing by the book?

Regardless, since Percival hadn’t told the truth, she wouldn’t betray him either.

She shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Then, she added, “Thank you”

Taking it a step further, she might even have to thank Susan for bumping into her.

For the first time, she felt that getting hit by a car was a stroke of luck.

The gratitude expressed by Raylee caught Casimir off guard.

Initially, he thought their relationship would remain stagnant.

To his surprise, he had the chance to receive her gratitude in this life.

The simple “thank you” was like a burst of warm sunshine in winter, illuminating every dark corner of his heart, and he couldn’t help but feel joyful
