Comeback Of The Adored Heiress - Chapter 980

Chapter 980:

She had already figured out that selling Lila’s valuables would provide more than enough to get started. Once she regained her status, she would repay Lila handsomely.

The appraisers arrived shortly after. Evita instructed them to pack up Lila’s sofa, custom decorations, and expensive bags and watches.

Though the second-hand market would lower the prices, Evita still received a transfer of $350,000.

The once vibrant and elegantly designed living room was now empty. Evita took one last look, put on a mask, and left the apartment.

She withdrew $100,001 from the bank, slipped it into a plain handbag, and made her way to Myles’s company.

Just as she stepped outside, her phone buzzed with a call from her mother.

Suddenly, her legs felt incredibly heavy, and she paused at the crossroads outside the bank.

Her fingers curled around the phone as she stared at the screen, letting her mother’s calls ring through unanswered. She ignored them all.

“Ding—” A message notification appeared at the top of her screen.

“Evita, are you still tied up? The hospital has given us an ultimatum. If we don’t settle the bills, I won’t be able to hang on much longer.”

Her mother’s next message arrived. “If you see this, please reply. Please…”

As she read the messages, a wave of sadness and despair washed over Evita. But then, her thoughts turned to the memories of her once privileged life.

Sacrificing her mother was the price to pay for her and her father’s resurgence.

When her mother was in prison, her father could arrange things for her, and her mother wouldn’t suffer too much—it would be like receiving special treatment.

Her mother had always supported her choices and loved her deeply. Surely, this time, she would understand as well.

With a final glance at the screen, Evita powered off her phone, flagged down a taxi, and told the driver to head for Morphew Group.

Months earlier, a high-ranking official with the surname Gordon had been reported, sparking an investigation that dragged several others into the spotlight.

Among them, the head of the Morphew Group was rumored to be involved.

However, there was no solid evidence to link him to any illegal dealings, and the investigation couldn’t move forward. Even so, the scandal had rocked Myles and caused quite a stir.

Myles had kept a low profile during this time, careful not to make any missteps. So when the secretary brought in the handbag, it caught him off guard.

He quickly closed it, masking his reaction, and asked with feigned calmness, “Who did you say sent this?”
