Reborn Heiress: Taking Back What Is Rightfully Hers!
Chapter 185: Revenge Taken

Chapter 185: Revenge Taken

Brianna was consumed by a raging hatred for Robert, wishing she could tear him apart limb by limb. However, she was just a vulnerable woman, utterly powerless against him.

She cried uncontrollably, paying no attention to the shocked looks from passersby or the murmurs of strangers. Brianna had no recollection of how she made it back to the hospital. When she arrived, she found that Hannah had already woken up, sitting there with a vacant stare, saying nothing.

"Hannah, you’re awake? Hannah?" Brianna, having changed her clothes, quickly took hold of Hannah’s hand.

"Mama... why am I here?"

Hannah snapped back to reality, and her expression turned venomous. "Mama... Daddy is terrifying. He’s so cruel... he actually released that video of me and that scumbag... sob..."

Hannah’s emotions flared up again, and Brianna could only hold her tightly. "Don’t cry, don’t cry..."

"Daddy always spoiled me... why would he do this to me? I’m his daughter! Mama, am I really his daughter?" Hannah pushed Brianna away in anger, her bloodshot eyes glaring as she demanded an answer.

Brianna nodded tearfully. "Of course you’re his daughter, sweetheart. It’s just... that man is too heartless!"

Brianna’s heart was filled with hatred, her eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty intensity.

Years ago, she had been the first Emily, the other woman, and now she was finally tasting the bitter defeat at the hands of a new mistress. She couldn’t fathom how a man who could remain silent after his wife was poisoned could be anything but cruel and heartless.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, and Brianna turned sharply to see Anthony walking in, followed by two others.

Brianna’s face darkened. "Brother, you can go home now. I’ll take care of Hannah."

"Alright, call me if you need anything." Anthony said, glancing back at Ella. He couldn’t help but notice how smart and beautiful she looked, remembering that this was Robert’s daughter from his first marriage.

Unlike Brianna, Anthony harbored no hostility towards Ella, thinking his sister might have something to say to her.

Hannah, lying in bed, suddenly perked up when she saw the dangerously attractive Eric.

Brianna’s expression was grim. Although she suspected that Ella had played a role in orchestrating all these events, Ella had barely been visible throughout it all.

"What are you doing here?" Brianna, having dropped all pretense, didn’t bother to hide her hostility.

Ella smiled faintly. "I heard my sister fainted at the press conference, so I came to check on her."

Brianna secretly ground her teeth. This wretched girl was here to gloat, wasn’t she?

Ella turned to Eric, smiling as she said, "Wait for me outside. I’ll be out in a minute."

Eric flashed a wicked smile. "Alright, just be careful not to get bitten by an old tigress."

Brianna’s face darkened with anger, glaring fiercely at Eric. But he wasn’t intimidated; instead, his eyes turned icy, and a menacing air surrounded him as he spoke.

"Anyone who messes with my woman will find me more ruthless than Robert."

Brianna’s expression grew even more unpleasant. What did Eric mean by that? Could it be that he was behind everything? Was the video of Hannah and Joshua in bed something he obtained?

Otherwise, how could Ella have possibly gotten her hands on that video?

Eric didn’t spare a glance at Hannah as he turned and exited the hospital room.

Brianna trembled with rage, glaring at Ella. "Was it... Eric who got hold of Hannah’s video?"

Ella looked genuinely puzzled. "What? Auntie, what are you talking about? What video of Hannah?"

Seeing Ella deny it, Brianna eyed her suspiciously. Then Ella suddenly seemed to have a realization. "Oh, I remember now! I saw a video on Twitter just now. The girl in it looked a lot like my sister!"

Hannah’s face turned ashen. She sat there, hollow-eyed, devastated that the man she admired had been there just moments ago but hadn’t even looked at her before leaving. It had all been in her head—an illusion of her own making.

It seemed like nothing was getting through to Hannah. Ella called her name softly, and Hannah finally lifted her bloodshot eyes, coldly focusing on Ella.

"Hannah, are you okay? It’s awful that Daddy was so heartless, releasing that video for everyone to see... It’s truly regrettable," Ella said lightly, causing Brianna to shriek.

"Get out! Ella, stop tormenting her! You wretched girl!"

Brianna panted, glaring venomously at Ella. "If it weren’t for you, how could we have ended up like this?"

Ella’s eyes turned icy. "Ms. Baker, are you joking? That’s my line. If it weren’t for you, how would my mother have died so early?"

Brianna’s face went deathly pale as she panted, desperately denying, "I didn’t poison her! You’re slandering me, you’re all slandering me!"

"Stop pretending. One day, I’ll make sure you... confess to your crimes," Ella said with a light, chilling smile, her gaze drifting to Hannah.

"I may not like Brandon, but he’s not as bad as he used to be. He dumped you, and it seems... he was absolutely right. No man would want to marry a woman who’s been with every other man."

Ella’s words were like knives, stabbing deep into Hannah’s heart.

She remembered the disgust in Eric’s eyes, the coldness in Brandon’s rejection. Suddenly, Hannah leapt up, grabbing a water glass and hurling it at Ella.

"You wretched whore... tramp, ah... don’t hurt me, Daddy... don’t hurt me... aaah!"

Hannah went wild, but the glass missed Ella and shattered against the door with a loud crash.

Ella sidestepped the attack, watching as Brianna clung to her now-crazed daughter. There was no trace of pity in her eyes.

Finally, these vile mother and daughter were getting what they deserved. Mom, are you watching? Your daughter has avenged you. But... the best is yet to come!

Ella left the room with a smile on her lips, her expression calm. Brianna held the suddenly hysterical Hannah tightly. "Hannah, I’m your mom! Hannah... no, don’t bite Mommy!"

The room descended into chaos, and it wasn’t until a few minutes later that nurses and doctors rushed in. Several nurses restrained the frenzied Hannah and gave her another shot of sedative.

As Ella stepped out of the room, Eric immediately approached her. "Are you okay? I told you to be careful."

Ella flashed a sweet smile, her eyes sparkling. "Don’t worry, I didn’t get bitten by the tigress. But I almost got hit by a lunatic. Hannah might really have some mental issues... or she could be faking it."
