The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 558 Returning to the Hospital Where Fate Changed

On the ride over, Diana slapped Charlene so hard that the latter didn't know which way was up.

It wasn't until Victor, worried Diana might actually beat Charlene to death in a fit of rage, reached out and stopped her. "Honey, don't hurt your hand. Once we get to Uncle Kenton's hospital, we can deal with this little bitch properly."

Diana panted heavily, shaking out her sore hand. "Fine, we'll wait until Amberton."

Charlene was in so much pain that she couldn't stop crying. Without a phone, she couldn't contact anyone. She helplessly shrank into a corner, trying not to make any sudden moves around the Langley family trio.

Selena didn't bother with Charlene in the car. She was looking through her phone, reading up on news about the Langley family.

Grace was critically ill, while Langley Group had already gone bankrupt. As such, the Langley family was no longer the richest in Amberton.

Elsewhere, Grace was now hospitalized, with a caretaker looking after her, arranged for by Kenton.

The news said she was holding onto life by a thread, though fully unwilling to let go. Apparently, she needed to fulfill her last wish before she could finally rest.

Selena guessed that Grace wanted to see her biological daughter, Megan, before she died. That was also the real reason Kenton had captured Charlene and lured Lina-so she would be forced to choose between Yvette and Charlene.

If Yvette wanted to live, Kenton would force her to hand over Megan. And if Megan had already died, then Yvette would die by the hand of her own daughter. Regardless of whether Lina was her biological daughter or not, she still came from Yvette's womb. Ten months of pregnancy couldn't be faked.

Still, Selena was still wondering; Marcus and Natalie hadn't yet shown up and seemingly weren't involved in the grudge between the Langley and Jenkins families. Were they really staying out of it, or were they just waiting for the right moment?

But regardless of what Marcus and Natalie did, Selena no longer dared to cross them. The last time, when they let her family off, it was purely out of their kindness.

The car smoothly continued to its destination. After arriving in Amberton, Kenton told Victor and his family to get out and grab something to eat, while he stayed in the car to keep an eye on Charlene.

"Kenton, I've always seen you as my great-uncle for years too. Do you really have to go this far with me?" Charlene finally dared to speak once Selena and her parents were gone.
