The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Chapter 339 Give Them Hope, Then Bleed Them Dry

Obediently, Stella rested her small face against the man’s chest.

Susan had been waiting outside the Hale family’s gates the entire time.

Two hours after Rianne returned, she heard the news and had rushed over, waiting here ever since.

Whether it was due to the Reed family’s current downfall or for some other reason, she had not been able to step past the threshold. The one who came to inform her had told her bluntly to leave, and Rianne would not see her.

But she could not leave. Just thinking of the pain Lilian was enduring, she could not back down. She had to see Rianne, no matter what.

Finally, Rianne emerged.

Susan hurried forward in agitation. “Ms. Rianne, please, I beg you, save my daughter.”

“Which daughter are you talking about?” Rianne crossed her arms, her tone casual and detached.

Susan froze. her face stiffening from the question. She struggled for breath as she answered, “M… My adopted daughter, Lilian.”

“Oh, adopted daughter?” Rianne raised a brow. “Seeing how desperate you were, I thought it was your biological daughter, Stella, who was in trouble.”

At the mention of Stella, Susan’s lips twitched awkwardly. In the end, she could not come up with a suitable response.

“Could you please go take a look at the Reed family, hmm? Susan suggested weakly.

Rianne shrugged. “Alright, but let me say this first. I hadn’t planned on–going. I’m only doing this because your biological daughter called me and asked me to go.”

“You mean Stella called you? She asked you to check on Lilian?” Susan was stunned. She could hardly believe it.
