Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!-Chapter 34: An Unbelievable Discovery!
Chapter 34: An Unbelievable Discovery!
After hanging up the phone, Hannah was wide awake.
Taking deep breaths, she couldn’t shake the image of Ella and Eric in bed together, and her hatred grew stronger with each passing moment.
She had completely forgotten about her boyfriend, Brandon, who would soon be coming over for her piano lesson.
Hannah didn’t even change her clothes before rushing to Brianna’s room and knocking on the door.
Brianna opened the door, grumbling, "Hannah, why are you up so early? Luckily, your daddy went to work early. If he were here, you would have disturbed him."
"Mom!" Hannah pushed her way inside and quickly closed the door behind her.
"What happened? You look so anxious," Brianna asked, gently smoothing Hannah’s disheveled hair.
"Mom! My classmate said her sister saw that bitch Ella checking into a hotel with Mr. Nelson!" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Hannah was breathing heavily, clearly furious.
Brianna was stunned. "How is that possible? Wasn’t Ella supposed to not be with Mr. Nelson anymore?"
"Mom, my classmate wouldn’t lie to me!" Hannah plopped onto the sofa, clutching her aching chest. "I hate her. If it weren’t for her, Mr. Nelson wouldn’t treat me like this! Mom, we have to act now. We can’t let her keep winning!"
Brianna frowned, "Act? You mean ruin her reputation?"
"Yes, if that tramp Ella... ha! Imagine if she slept with several men in one night. Mr. Nelson wouldn’t want her anymore, right? Such a dirty woman, he wouldn’t even take her if she were given to him!" Hannah laughed maniacally, envisioning Ella being humiliated.
Brianna fell silent, contemplating the feasibility of the plan.
"Mom, school starts in a month. By then, with my brother back, that tramp will only gain more of daddy’s favor! What can we do then? We have to strike first while Mr. Nelson’s feelings for her are still shallow!"
Seeing Brianna deep in thought, Hannah grew more anxious.
"You’re always so impatient, but you’re right. She’s gaining more and more of your daddy’s favor," Brianna sighed.
"Mom, think of a plan!"
"Didn’t you say your classmate’s birthday party is in a week? Most of your classmates will be there, right?" Brianna asked with a sly smile.
"Yes, it’s next Tuesday!"
"Is there anyone in your class who has a crush on her but is particularly nasty?" Brianna asked slowly.
Hannah’s eyes lit up.
"Ethan Johnson! He’s been hanging out with some lowlifes and changes girlfriends frequently. He’s harassed several girls in our class. He once pursued that tramp, but she rejected him. He’s been holding a grudge ever since!"
Hannah’s face beamed with excitement. "Thank you, Mom. I know what to do!"
"That’s good. If you succeed this time, you won’t have to worry about Mr. Nelson being interested in her anymore," Brianna said, adjusting her hair with a sweet yet sinister smile.
Hannah finally felt relieved, lazily spreading her arms on the sofa. "Mom, you’re so smart! No wonder ha ha..."
Brianna sat down beside her, picking up a shirt Robert had left behind. "Your daddy, of course, needs careful handling. Otherwise, why would he trust us and give you so much allowance..."
Brianna’s voice trailed off as she stared at the red lipstick stain on the white shirt, leaving Hannah puzzled by her mother’s sudden silence.
The lipstick stain had a faint, elegant fragrance, lingering delicately on the fabric.
The mark was subtle, suggesting the woman who left it wore a natural, barely-there makeup.
"Mom, what is this? How could there be such a thing on Daddy’s shirt?" Hannah’s eyes widened in shock.
Even the densest person could figure out that Robert had been intimate with another woman, who had left this mark as a blatant challenge to Brianna.
Brianna’s face turned ashen. "It’s just a lipstick stain; it doesn’t mean anything! But... we need to deal with this quickly before your father gets too involved, or it will become increasingly difficult to handle."
"Mom, you’re so wonderful. You look like you’re in your thirties, more beautiful and fit than many women your age. Why isn’t Daddy satisfied?" Hannah complained indignantly.
Brianna shook her head with a sad smile. "You don’t understand men, honey. No matter how beautiful, young, or charming a wife is, after a long time, her allure fades into familiarity. The women outside are new and exciting, like freshly picked cherries, irresistible for a taste."
Hannah’s eyes widened. "Mom, are you saying that no matter how much a man loves his wife, he might still cheat after many years of marriage?"
"Of course, every man has the potential to stray. Your daddy loved that tramp’s mother once, but I still won him over, didn’t I? As long as I remain the legitimate wife, I can tolerate the other woman, if necessary," Brianna said coldly, her eyes flashing with steely determination.
"Mom, can you really endure this?" Hannah frowned, struggling to imagine Robert holding a young, beautiful woman.
"Don’t worry about it. Focus on what you need to do first," Brianna said softly, then picked up her phone to make a call.
"Assistant Lee, keep an eye on the president. Let me know which women he’s particularly close with."
"You’ll be well rewarded once it’s done," she finished, hanging up the phone, her mind racing with various scenarios.
Hannah stood up. "Mom, I’m going back to my room to call those people."
"Be careful. Don’t let that bitch escape this time!"
"Don’t worry. Ethan is no ordinary person," Hannah replied with a sinister smile, her voice dripping with malice.
This time, Ella’s reputation would be utterly destroyed.
Several days passed quickly.
Brandon came to the Davis household daily to teach Hannah piano, while Ella remained indifferent, often going out.
These days, she spent her time at the local library, so Brianna and Hannah hadn’t gathered much information.
On Tuesday afternoon, Ella was reading when she received a call from Hannah.
Hannah invited her to attend her classmate’s birthday party. Ella and Hannah were only two years apart, with Hannah now in tenth grade, so Ella didn’t know her classmates.
Ella initially didn’t want to go, but Hannah’s persistent pleading left her puzzled. Yet, Hannah didn’t give her a choice, stating she would pick her up before abruptly hanging up.
Raising an eyebrow, Ella called Chloe, inviting her to join the birthday party of this girl named Lily.
