The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 458

Chapter 458 Lines Crossed

“You asked me to help investigate in Westbrook. I looked into all the places Nolan couldn’t get to and double–checked the ones he already did. Turns out, the person who bought the Leaf Corp display ring works for the Foster family.”

When Eliza heard that, everything Halbert had said earlier lined up perfectly.

“Got it. Thank you.”

“That’s all I get? Just a thank you?”

Helping Eliza this time had cost Matteo the influence of an entire network.

Eliza said, “Fine. I’ll owe you a favor–free of charge. From now on, we help each other, fair and square. Isn’t that a good deal?”

“Deal.”

Matteo hung up.

Eliza turned to Nolan. “Matteo confirmed it–the person who bought the Leaf family’s display ring works for Henry. That means the ring is definitely in Henry’s hands now. I’ll have Matteo send the evidence to my phone. Nolan, let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Nolan followed her out.

Halbert asked, “You sure you don’t want me to come?”

Eliza shook her head. “No need. Hold down the fort here.”

Given his relationship with Henry, bringing Halbert along would only complicate things. It’d just make things awkward when they inevitably crossed paths.

Eliza and Nolan drove straight toward the Foster family estate.

To avoid alerting Henry’s father, Eliza texted Henry directly, asking to meet at a café near the Foster residence.

Henry agreed.

Clearly, he’d known this day was coming–and had no intention of hiding forever.

Eliza and Nolan waited at the café. Not long after, Henry walked in.

Once, they’d been close friends. Now, no one said a word.

Henry scanned the place, seeing only Eliza and Nolan.

He picked a seat and sat down lazily. “So? What do you want?”

Before Eliza could speak, Henry added, “If I remember right, we’re no longer engaged. Eliza, you bringing Nolan to meet me–what’s your angle? I am still the head of the Foster family, you know. Don’t treat me like I don’t matter,”

Eliza hadn’t come here to insult him.

She said directly, “Let’s not waste time. We know you took the ring. Hand it over”

She held out her hand.

That ring had never belonged to Henry. It shouldn’t be in his possession.

Henry acted unbothered. “What ring? I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Our people already confirmed it was one of your men who took it. I’ve got the proof right here on my phone. Want to see it?”

Matteo had just sent over the evidence. All they had to do was show it to Henry, and there would be no way for him to deny it.

Henry responded flatly, “Oh? And what does that prove? That one of my guys took the ring? Doesn’t mean it ended up with me.”

He was clearly stalling.

Eliza opened her mouth to respond, but Henry cut her off. “Enough, Eliza. No need for a lecture. Unless you’ve got proof that the ring’s in my hands, there’s nothing you can do. Right?”

Eliza went quiet for a moment.

Henry smirked. “It’s just a ring. So what if it’s in my possession? I’m not going to hurt you. I just want to study it. Who knows–it might be useful to me.”

His gaze shifted to Nolan.

“I mean, Nolan and I are brothers. We grew up together. I even gave you the girl. What more do you want from me?”
