Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!-Chapter 57: Revealing the Truth
Chapter 57: Revealing the Truth
The crowd was eager to open the door and see for themselves, but Robert and Brianna wouldn’t allow it and ushered all the guests downstairs.
As guests, they felt it inappropriate to break the door down, despite their curiosity, and reluctantly headed downstairs. Meanwhile, Ella was in the gazebo in the back garden, covering her face as if she were crying.
"Ella, are you okay?" Chloe came over and gently patted her shoulder.
Ella lifted her head, her eyes glistening with tears, though no one knew they were fake.
"I’m fine... How could I not be?" Ella smiled triumphantly. Those two despicable people—this move was enough to ruin them. And the show wasn’t over yet!
Just then, Lily and a few classmates walked over.
Seeing Ella’s tear-streaked face, Lily smirked. "Ella, so you have your bad days too! Haha, last time you got me into so much trouble..."
Lily stopped mid-sentence, realizing her classmates didn’t know it was her and Hannah’s scheme that backfired on her.
Ella chuckled softly. "Lily, what are you laughing at? You should be laughing at Hannah. She’s in the same boat as you!"
Chloe also sneered. "Yeah, Lily, your scandal last time was quite something, wasn’t it? Tsk tsk, you even ended up in bed with Ethan!"
Lily’s face turned ghostly pale, her eyes filled with venomous hatred as she glared at Ella.
"Ella! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have ended up like that!" Lily screeched. "Now look at you, karma’s hit you back. Your own boyfriend slept with your sister, ha, what a joke!"
Ella calmly smoothed her hair, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Brandon just became my boyfriend because I saw his sincerity. I don’t have any feelings for him yet, so I’m not heartbroken. But you, Lily, you don’t even know you were set up, do you?"
Lily’s face changed dramatically. "What... what do you mean?"
"Come closer, and I’ll tell you something," Ella said, her eyes cold.
Hannah had hoped to use Lily against her, but that was a foolish dream.
Lily, though hesitant, couldn’t help but lean in.
Ella whispered in her ear, "That day... Hannah and I opened the door together. Ethan was on top of you, but the two of you haven’t started having sex yet. Hannah shut the door, refusing to let me in to help you..."
"What?" Lily screamed, looking at Ella in disbelief.
She clearly remembered Hannah telling her she shut the door to protect her from others seeing the scene.
"If I had gotten in in time, you wouldn’t have lost your virginity, would you? But Hannah was afraid of being seen and afraid I’d discover her scheme. She wouldn’t let me in. Later, someone broke the door open, and she blamed it all on me, didn’t she?" Ella’s cold laugh carried a hint of pity.
"Lily, you’re pitiful. Hannah is capable of plotting against me; why wouldn’t she plot against you? She used your hatred for me to turn you into her weapon."
Ella’s words left Lily sitting there, cold and stunned.
"This is my party, and I’m sorry such things happened. Everyone, please go back to the living room, have some refreshments before you leave," Ella said with a forced smile, looking wounded.
The classmates, who had previously sided with Hannah, now felt sympathy for Ella.
"Ella, your sister is so awful! Stealing your boyfriend."
"Pfft, they must have been hooking up for a while to dare to do this here!"
"Ella, you are so pitiful!"
As her classmates walked away, Ella’s lips slowly curled into a satisfied smile.
The party turned into a complete disaster. Grandma Davis fainted upon hearing the news about Hannah and Brandon from others.
Brianna, claiming to be unwell, left early. Of course, she stormed into the room to separate the entangled couple forcibly.
However, Hannah and Brandon were already at the brink. Brianna slapped them both back to their senses.
Seeing his condition, Brandon turned pale and quickly hid in the bathroom.
Outside, the voices of Brianna and Hannah could be heard.
"Mom, I don’t know what happened... I came here to see him, and then I lost control..."
"Idiot! I told you to behave and let me handle it. How could you..."
Brianna’s screaming filled the air, and Brandon, inside the bathroom, grew even more anxious.
"But Mom... didn’t you drug Brandon and that bitch? How did it backfire on me? What am I supposed to do now?" Hannah’s voice was full of grievance.
Brandon’s face turned ashen. He never imagined that Brianna had orchestrated this!
"Don’t worry, your father will find a way to suppress this scandal. Those in our circle won’t spread such disgraceful news, but your reputation..."
Brianna gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"Mom... what do I do? Mr. Nelson saw everything," Hannah wailed, as if she had suffered the greatest injustice.
In the bathroom, Brandon trembled. He was tired of Hannah, and now she was playing the victim. Despicable!
Moreover, she was more concerned about Eric witnessing the scene than her own embarrassment. She clearly had her sights set on Eric.
Brandon’s eyes burned with anger, his fists clenched tightly. He cursed himself for losing control and engaging in such behavior.
He had just proposed to Ella, and now this. Ella must despise him!
After causing a commotion for a while, Hannah finally left the guest room. When Brandon came downstairs, the party had already dispersed. Ella and Chloe were sitting in the living room, Ella’s face calm as if nothing had happened.
The moment Hannah saw Ella, she screamed, "Ella, you bitch! How dare you set me up... I’ll kill you!"
Her eyes burned with hatred, and she lunged forward, only to be restrained by Brianna.
"What are you doing? Haven’t you embarrassed us enough? Sit down!" Brianna snapped harshly.
Ella looked at Hannah coldly. "Hannah, your words are laughable. You seduced my boyfriend. I’m the victim here. You have no right to insult me."
Hannah was livid. She realized she had been drugged, which explained her uncontrollable desire for Brandon. She was still dazed when they were discovered.
"Enough! Look at yourself, Hannah. You’ve disgraced the Davis family!" Robert shouted angrily, his eyes filled with cold fury as he glared at Hannah, wishing he could send her far away.
