From Ruin She Rose novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123

Austin had been in Cloudridge for some time and had made some money in the stock market, so he was familiar with the Bennett Group. Naturally, he had heard of Andrew Bennett and understood the prominent status of the Bennett family in Cloudridge.

Under Emily’s gaze, which suppressed a certain emotion, Austin stroked his chin thoughtfully. “If it’s him, landing a punch or splitting his head open might be a bit challenging.” Given his current situation, such actions would be unwise and could create more trouble for Emily.

Emily lowered her gaze, a sense of inevitable disappointment washing over her. She had to admit, for a brief moment, she had hoped otherwise.

“But,” Austin continued, his tone playful, “I’m quite confident I can get revenge for you in other ways.”

Emily stared at him in shock, her expression one of disbelief.

Reassuming his bright and sunny demeanor, Austin started walking after Emily’s retreating figure.

In fact, Austin had sensed the detachment and weariness in Emily’s tone when she spoke about the Bennett family, leading him to deduce her identity.

Deciding to lay low in Cloudridge, Austin had made it a point to understand the local dynamics and had naturally heard about the sensational fake heiress incident involving the Bennett family years ago.

Considering Emily’s attitude towards Lucas and Andrew as well as some rumors, he could guess who Emily truly

But even though she had fallen from grace as the fake heiress, she still bore the “Bennett family daughter” title. He couldn’t fathom why such a heavy, suppressed aura enveloped her.
