Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 1266:

“Why wouldn’t I dare? How many times have you used this very stick on me over the years? I’m just returning the favor, Lilian, and yet you’re so outraged. How am I supposed to make up for everything I’ve endured all these years? As for being part of the Perkins family—hah, you don’t need to remind me.”

The basement’s thick walls swallowed any sound. It was ironic—Lilian had prepared this very space to imprison Nola, yet now it worked against her, cutting her off from any help.

Her attempt at freeing herself had failed. Nola’s long-buried resentment had been simmering for years, and now, it had finally boiled over. As Lilian bore the brunt of Nola’s fury, her only hope was that her people outside would sense something was wrong and capture Jared.

Lilian had originally left with Aldwin but had come back midway to retrieve a piece of jade, as he had instructed.

This jade was a treasured Perkins family heirloom, worn only by the head of the family. Aldwin usually kept it stored safely, only bringing it out for significant occasions.

Halfway through their journey, he realized he had forgotten it and sent Lilian back to retrieve it, accompanied by bodyguards and a driver. Now, as time dragged on with no sign of Lilian returning, Aldwin’s patience was wearing thin. He continued calling, his urgency growing. Sensing that something was amiss, one of the bodyguards stepped out of the car, preparing to enter the house in search of her.
