Chapter 205 Unwanted Heiress

Eliza hadn’t told Lewis or Colton that she had started apany.

And thatpany had nothing to do with pharmaceuticals.

It was in inte media.

Finished

Having lived an extra lifetime, Eliza knew the futurey in inte media. That was where the public tide was headed.

As long as she ran a solid intepany, dealing with Foster Corp Pharmaceuticals wouldn’t be too hard.

But for now, she didn’t want to make a fussb. /b

She smiled at Lewis and said, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”

“That’s all for now.”

Lewis helped Colton up and said, “I’m going to take Colton to get his injury looked at.”

“…Alright.”

Eliza nodded.

After Colton and Lewis left, Nn finally spoke behind her. “What are you nning to do next?”

The Sue family wouldn’t let this go easily.

Halbert showing up was the Sue familyying their cards on the table.

If Eliza didn’t want to return to the Sue family, then from this point on, they’d cling to her like a ghost that never left.

“We’ll take it one step at a time. Besides, I don’t think Halbert likes me very much.”

His hostility was obvious–and she could use that to her advantage, maybe even use it to draw a line between her and the Sue family for good.

Seeing how determined Eliza was, Nn said, “There are people who would kill to be the Sue family’s Ms. Cassandra. But you don’t seem to care at all.”

“What’s so bgreat /babout being the Sue family’s Ms. Cassandra? I’d be stuck with thebel of illegitimate daughter‘ my whole life. And families like the Sues–the more wealth and fame they have, the more danger they attract. Bing their heiress would just bring me a ton of problems. I’mzy. I don’t want to bdeal /bwith all that trouble that doesn’t even belong to me.”

“Just because you don’t want trouble doesn’t mean trouble doesn’t want you.”

Eliza frowned. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Look. Herees trouble now.”

Nn’s beyes /bnded on the end of the hallway not far away.

A girl was walking toward them–poised, elegant, and dressed to the nines.

She looked about eighteen or neen. Fair skin, stunning features, glossy waves of hair, expressive almond–shaped eyes, a delicate mouth. She was styled with meticulous care. She wore designer earrings, carried a white crocodile leather handbag that screamed luxury, and had a watch on her wrist that only the ultra–wealthy could afford.

Eliza searched her memory for any sign of recognition but came up nk. She didn’t know this girl.

And she definitely didn’t look like someone from Westbrook.

“Eliza?”

The girl approached Eliza and gave her a once–over, her tone critical. “You’re the Sue family’s long–lost daughter? The one who went missing for eighteen years?b” /b

The way she said it, it was like this tacky soap–opera twist had no ce in a family like the Sues.

Eliza said, “I don’t believe we’ve met.”

Before the girl could answer, her assistant stepped forward. “This is Ms. Tracy Tames. The Tames and Sue families go way back. Ms. Tracy is currently staying with the Sues–she’s practically family.”

“Oh, so you’re a guest.”

That one word–guest–instantly wiped the smile off Tracy’s face.

“I should’ve known someone raised in some backwater ce wouldn’t have much ss. I thought maybe Sue’s sister would be different, but clearly not.”

Tracy let out a coldugh. “I heard you didn’t want to return to the Sues, so I flew in from overseas especially to see you. And now… your attitude is just as awful as they said.”

“I’m sorry, Ms. Tracy. But from the looks of it, you’re the one who really wants to be Ms. Cassandra of the Sue family. Why don’t I just hand the title over to you?”

Eliza had caught the disdain in Tracy’s eyes from the start.

Whenever the Sue family was mentioned, Tracy lit up.

Clearly, Tracy was the one who truly dreamed of being the Sues‘ heiress.

“You think I wouldn’t take it if I could? If you weren’t part of the Sue family, do you think I’d even be here talking to you?”

Tracy scowled. “I know you don’t want to igo /iback to them. You must be holding out for some kind of payoff. Just tell me–how much is it going to take? I’ll give you whatever you want.”

The way Tracy tried to throw money at her made Elizaugh out loud. “Ms. Tracy, I think you might have

*If I really wanted to go back to the Sue family, I’d just im my ce as Ms. Cassandra. Do you think there’s any amount of money I wouldn’t get that way? You really think I’m stupid enough to turn down the Sue name just to ckmail themterb?/bb” /b

Tracy’s brow furrowed.

Of course she knew Eliza had a point.

She just couldn’t understand why anyone would turn down a title like Ms. Cassandra of the Sue family… just to stay in Westbrook.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Tracy. I have other things to do, so I’ll be going now.”
