Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!
Chapter 117: Stupidity

Chapter 117: Stupidity

Back in the room, Hannah looked at her swollen face in the mirror, which bore several nasty scars.

These scars were clearly inflicted intentionally by those women.

"Hannah! I’ve warned you so many times not to act recklessly. Now look at you, not only is your reputation ruined, but your face is destroyed as well!" Brianna shouted, her anger boiling over.

Hannah sat quietly, staring blankly at her ruined face, her eyes welling up with tears.

"At this point, there’s no use talking about it..." Brianna said, heartbroken. "Tell me, why did you go to the VIP room with Mr. Taylor? I was chatting with the other ladies and didn’t notice you at all!"

A bitter smile spread across Hannah’s lips. With this incident, Eric would never be interested in her again, would he?

Twice she had flirted with men, only to be caught both times. It was a humiliating scandal that no decent man from a wealthy family would want to marry such a woman.

"Mr. Nelson said he likes capable women, so I wanted to prove that I am capable too. I hurried to find Mr. Taylor, hoping he would cooperate with Davis Group. But once we were in the VIP room... he started groping me, and then Mrs. Taylor walked in..."

Hannah’s eyes flashed with a vicious light. "It must have been Ella... that bitch must have tipped her off, otherwise how would Mrs. Taylor have come so quickly?"

Brianna felt suffocated at the thought, pondering silently.

Mr. Nelson... why did Eric’s appearance divert Hannah to Mr. Taylor?

The Taylor family members were all shady, but they hid it well, so Mr. Taylor had no scandals. But his brother was a notorious playboy, constantly embroiled in scandal.

Why did Hannah fall into Mr. Taylor’s trap, and why did Mrs. Taylor catch them at that exact moment?

It all seemed orchestrated, as if someone had foreseen everything!

Brianna calmed herself, recalling when Ella had slipped from her control.

Yes, since Ella’s bar mitzvah. Brianna and Hannah had planned to disgrace Ella, but it backfired, and since then, Ella had gained Robert’s favor.

Since then, in every confrontation, Hannah and Brianna suffered, but Ella never did!

Even on the Dream Cruises, Ella was saved by Eric, and then... Hannah was pushed into tonight’s scandal!

Yes, Eric!

Brianna’s forehead was drenched with cold sweat as the realization struck her.

"Mom, why aren’t you saying anything?" Hannah, seeing her mother’s increasingly pale face, grabbed her hand and shook it.

Brianna, trembling, held Hannah’s hand and took a few deep breaths to calm herself, "Hannah... the person behind this is likely Mr. Nelson!"

What?

Hannah was stunned. Eric had agreed to talk to her, to sit with her. How could he be plotting against her?

He was clearly using Ella to annoy her, wasn’t he?

Hannah, in her narcissism, was delusional enough to think this way.

"Impossible! Mom, it can’t be Mr. Nelson! Mr. Nelson likes me, not Ella! He’s only nice to Ella to make me jealous..."

"Shut up!"

Brianna looked at Hannah with disappointment. This daughter used to be quite clever, but why had she become so foolish?

Hannah stared at Brianna, utterly confused by her reaction.

"Eric knows Mr. Taylor too well and knows what kind of man he is. He also knows you. Tonight, you dressed too provocatively, and being with Mr. Taylor, the moment you showed any sign of interest, he assumed you didn’t mind him touching you!"

Brianna panted, "Mr. Nelson is aware of everything. As for the informant, it could be his people or it could be Ella!"

Hannah sat there, her face alternating between red and white.

"Mr. Nelson doesn’t like you. If he did, he wouldn’t have set you up like this. Tomorrow’s headlines will undoubtedly feature you..."

Brianna’s heart raced with anxiety. At that moment, her phone rang.

It was from her subordinates, who had been keeping an eye on Ella. However, due to Eric’s influence, she had told them to hold back for now.

"Madam, bad news. Videos of Miss Hannah with Mr. Taylor, and of those women attacking her, are all over the major forums!"

Brianna’s scalp tingled as she screamed, "Get them deleted immediately, deleted!"

"Yes, Madam!"

After hanging up, Brianna fell silent. Hannah wiped away her tears. "Mom, even if what you say is true, Mr. Nelson targeted me because of that little bitch Ella! That bitch had a man do this to me!"

"Forget it. Mr. Nelson’s methods are ruthless. We must not provoke Ella any further!"

Brianna felt a chill all over. She was already overwhelmed, having to deal with Robert’s infidelity, and had no time to take on Ella.

Moreover, with Eric by her side, dealing with her would be nearly impossible!

Hannah’s heart was filled with unwillingness. She shook her head and screamed, her features contorting and causing her wounds to ache.

"No! Mom, we can’t just sit back and let that bitch ruin us. I can’t accept this!"

"Whether you like it or not, you must! Hannah, Mr. Nelson’s methods are too strong. We don’t have the strength to counter him right now. Once Ella falls out of favor, we can take revenge then! Haven’t you heard the saying, ’Revenge is a dish best served cold’? We have to endure for now! Ella is no longer the foolish girl she used to be. Over the past six months, we’ve been the ones suffering. Do you still think she’s that same naive Ella?"

Brianna spoke firmly, "I’ll arrange for you to take a leave of absence. If you go back to school looking like this, you’ll only face more ridicule. Let me handle the next steps! If you don’t want your life to be completely ruined by Ella, you need to follow my plan!"

"No!"

Hannah shook her head, unwilling to accept it.

"Fine, do you have the ability to fight back? Every time, you end up disgraced, and the scandal always centers on you! If this continues, your father will throw you out of the Davis family, and you’ll lose both your freedom and money! If you don’t restrain yourself, you’ll end up addicted and destroyed!"

Brianna’s sharp voice rang out, and Hannah’s face turned pale. She realized with horror that she truly had no means to fight back!
