Reborn as a Fake Heiress Marrying the Tycoon novel Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053: None of Them Will Escape Responsibility

Su Shen had been standing quietly by Gu Zi’s side the entire time, saying nothing. It was only after Gu Zi exited the room that he finally stepped forward. His tall, commanding presence sent a wave of pressure rippling through the space, making those around him instinctively hold their breath.

His gaze settled on Huang Fei, and his voice was chillingly cold.

“I know you’re from the capital. I know your husband’s family has deep roots there.”

He took a step closer, his words like ice against steel. “But you conspired with others to ruin my wife’s reputation. And let me tell you—whether the capital is too far to care about Guangcheng’s affairs or not, if this needs to be settled in the capital, then so be it. I will personally see to it that justice is served for my wife.”

Su Shen had long retreated from the world of power and influence, choosing to live in quiet anonymity. Outsiders could no longer see the authority he once wielded, and he had no interest in using it as a shield. After all, power was both intoxicating and dangerous—a double-edged sword.

But for Gu Zi, he was willing to pick up that blade again. Even if it meant stirring up the old guard in the capital and throwing them into chaos, he had no fear. ƒreewebɳovel.com

As he spoke, his gaze—sharp as frost and merciless as winter—locked onto Huang Fei.

She could barely hold herself together under his scrutiny, her body stiffening with fear. She didn’t dare meet his eyes, her breath coming in shallow gasps.

Thankfully, Su Shen didn’t linger. The moment he finished speaking, he turned on his heel and left with Gu Zi. Had he stayed any longer, she didn’t dare imagine just how much worse her terror might have become.

That man… he was terrifying.

Outside, at the entrance, Gu Zi ran into Principal Zhang, who had rushed over with several school officials in tow. The principal took one look at her, then at Su Shen standing imposingly behind her, and—shockingly—remained perfectly composed.

That was surprising in itself. But what was even more surprising was how calm the pair of them looked. Completely unbothered.

Principal Zhang, on the other hand, was on the verge of a breakdown.

“Are those journalists from the Education Daily still here?” he demanded, his voice filled with righteous anger. “This is outrageous! The moment I found out what happened, I knew I couldn’t let this slide. How could they defame one of my students like this?!”

Lately, Principal Zhang had been in an exceptionally good mood. He had been meeting up with old friends almost every day, boasting endlessly about how his school had produced the province’s top scorer in the college entrance exams.
