The Heiress's Second Chance At Vengeance (Eliza) novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471 The Bigger Gamble

“Only twenty percent, and you’re acting like you won the lottery?”

Naomi scoffed. She knew this was just the beginning. In a year, the value of those properties would skyrocket–and she intended to hold onto every single unit.

“But a twenty percent rise is already a sure profit,” Evelyn argued. “If we sell now, we’re guaranteed to walk away ahead. But if the school zoning changes turn out to be wrong, we could lose everything

Evelyn believed this was the perfect time to cash out–no need to push their luck.

Naomi disagreed. “I want more. Twenty percent isn’t enough. Would you rather walk away with thirty million now, or a hundred million later? Do I even have to explain that?”

She was completely convinced of her own judgment.

Still, Evelyn looked uneasy. “I just feel like this is already good enough… If the school doesn’t get upgraded, prices will crash.”

“That’s enough.” Naomi waved her off. “Just do what I said and wait. By the time the baby’s born, prices will have doubled.”

Her tone left no room for doubt.

Evelyn could only nod, half–believing, half–worried.

Meanwhile-

Eliza had already received confirmation of Naomi’s plan.

As expected, Naomi had no intention of selling. She was betting on holding those properties until next year, convinced the values would explode.

But Eliza wasn’t about to give her the chance to cash in.

Naomi had only guessed the school would be upgraded because of a rumored merger with a prestigious high school. But Eliza had the power to make sure that never happened.

All she had to do was pull a few strings–and the school would stay right where it was.

If the upgrade fell through, the area would lose its school district status. And once that happened, property values would crash hard.

“You go talk to the city high school board,” Eliza said into her phone. “Make sure the merger and acquisition don’t go through.”

She called Ronaldo overseas.

If Ronaldo handled it personally, it wouldn’t take long at all.

As she ended the call, Nolan came out of the kitchen carrying lunch. “Come eat. You’ve been too busy these last few days to sit down properly.”

He set the table carefully.

Chapter 471 The Bigger Gamble

Eliza had always thought Nolan couldn’t cook–but it turned out bit food was delictos

Since moving in with him, he hadn’t touched instant noodles once

“I need to eat well today. I have school this afternoon,” she said, grinning as she took her deat

Nolan smiled softly. “I know. I’ll drive you”

“No need.”

Eliza shook her head. “Halbert said he’s taking me.

Halbert had been watching her like a hawk lately. Even though he’d finally agreed to let her live at Nolan’s he still insisted on driving her to and from school–and making sure she went to bed on time.

Like an overprotective father.

Eliza had never realized Halbert had that side to him.

“He means well,” Nolan said, gently brushing her hair aside. “The more people who love you, the happier 1

am.”

Then he started carefully plating her food.

Under Nolan’s care, Eliza had definitely put on a few pounds. No longer the thin, pale girl she once was, she now looked healthy, radiant, and vibrant.

Just then, the sound of a car horn echoed from outside.

Eliza walked over to the window and saw Halbert standing next to his car, motioning for her to hurry down.
