Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 106 106: The fruit of patience is sweet

After lunch, Alex was nowhere to be found. He left with a sigh of relief from his concerns, which made Eveline very happy. But even with Alex's absence, there was one person in particular who seemed a little strange the whole time.

Tiffany was by herself, lost in her own thoughts, occupying the corner seat silently, but something drew Eveline's immediate attention—the hand that rested on Tiffany's neck the entire lecture.

She wanted to know why she was acting so strangely, but as soon as the lecture ended, Tiffany hurried out of the room as the professor left.

Eveline trailed behind her, watching as she hurried to the girl's restroom.

Tiffany freaked out as she looked at the mark around her neck. She nearly died from strangulation once more, and Alex's irrational actions left a purple scar around her neck over time.

"How am I supposed to treat this bruise? I can not go home showing off this mark," Tiffany scowled, shifting her head to the left and right as she studied the mark's darkness.

Tiffany was worried because she did not have a scarf with her to cover up this mark, but all of a sudden the restroom door opened and Eveline entered.

"I can lend you my scarf." She said, putting Tiffany on the defensive.

Realizing this, her eyes widened, and she hastily unbraided her hair, putting it on both sides of her shoulder, nearly covering her entire neck.

"What is the matter with you? Why would I need the scarf?" Tiffany soon composed herself and turned around, her back facing Eveline.

Eveline walked over to her, scoffing at her pretentious behavior and leaning against the counter to glance to the side.

"To hide the strangling mark on your neck," Eveline said, which made Tiffany shudder.

"W-what mark are you talking about?" Tiffany muttered as she quickly straightened her hair and observed herself through the mirror when she was abruptly interrupted by a mocking laugh from her side.

"You undoubtedly do not want Aunt Susan to find out what transpired. Thus, I advise you to accept my assistance; if not, I will have to inform her of her daughter's whereabouts."

Tiffany's eyes flew open, and she shot a dread-filled glance in Eveline's direction.

"What happened? Shocked," Eveline enquired, observing the terrified expression on her face.

For all these years, Tiffany had been able to hide her identity, but eventually, the truth had to surface, and she was now aware of who she was. Thus, there is no reason to hide now.
