The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 470

Chapter 470 The Setup.

Naomi was determined to make that ring her ticket to a better future.

And as for the child she was carrying? Being pregnant with Nathaniel’s baby didn’t guarantee anything security, not power. What she really wanted was to step on Eliza’s head and rise above her.

“I told you to use the money Nathaniel gave me to buy that property. Did you do it yet?” Naomi asked

“Not yet.” Evelyn replied. “What’s the rush? I looked into that neighborhood you mentioned–it didn’t seem all that special. Prices are falling across the board. Buying now would be a huge loss.

Naomi rolled her eyes. “That place is going to triple in a year. What do you know? just do what I said and buy it now.”

She still remembered how Eliza had bought five units there all at once. Prices had already started creeping up. Maybe a bit of a loss at the moment, but in another year, they’d explode. Naomi was already imagining the fortune she’d rake in selling at the peak.

“Fine, fine, I don’t know anything. I’ll do it your way,” Evelyn relented.

“And buy as many as you can,” Naomi added. “Use everything we’ve got. That neighborhood is the best investment out there right now.”

“You’re insane! We barely have twenty million in liquid assets. You want to buy four units?!”

Evelyn was stunned.

Even if the property held its value, dumping everything into that one development felt way too risky.

And frankly, Evelyn didn’t believe the hype.

“Do it like I said. That money’s mine, not yours–what are you worried about?”

They were living off the Hartwell family anyway. Food, shelter–everything was covered. It made sense to turn that money into assets. If things ever went south with Nathaniel, they’d at least have something to fall back on.

Naomi had done the math. If everything went according to plan, they’d net tens of millions within a year.

Why not take the risk?

The next morning, Evelyn followed Naomi’s instructions and bought the units.

But Evelyn had always been flashy with her spending, and buying four properties at once drew attention fast. News of it reached Eliza almost immediately.

“She bought property?”

“Yeah, four units,” the assistant reported. “And all in the same complex, too. No one knows why.”

Eliza chuckled. “Then they must’ve caught wind that property values there will skyrocket next year.”

“Huh?”

The assistant looked stunned.

Skyrocket?

How could they possibly know that?

“But prices are still falling everywhere,” he added, confused.

“Only average properties are declining. School district housing is another story,” Eliza said. “That neighborhood is next to a school that’s about to be turned into a top–ranked high school. It’s merging with an elite academy. All the rich families will be clamoring to send their kids there.”

That’s exactly why Eliza had bought her properties there in the first place. And now they were starting to double in value.

Naomi had clearly found out about it too–otherwise she wouldn’t have invested so aggressively.

But what good would that do?

This wasn’t the same lifetime anymore.

“Once the sale goes through,” Eliza said, “spread the word. Say that the school nearby is about to be upgraded to city–wide key high school status. That’ll trigger a price surge.”

“What? But if we do that, won’t Naomi make a killing?”

“I know Naomi. She only acts when she’s sure of success. She’s betting on massive profits a year from now. But this time, I’m going to make her fall flat on her face.”
