The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance
Chapter 353 Setting the Stage
Tyson’s secretary quickly picked up on the implication behind his words and explained, “I don’t believe it just that. There were rumors after Ms. Elaine caused quite a scene at the Hayes Corp headquarters a while back. Word is. Mr. Nolan publicly called off their engagement. That might be why Ms. Elaine’s too afraid to reach out to him now.”
“I see. So it seems my dear nephew is at fault here–treating his fiancée so coldly just for the sake of another woman. Julio, have the car prepared. We’re paying a visit to the Lynn family. I want to know who had the nerve to mess with the future daughter–in–law of the Hayes family.”
“Yes, sir.”
Julio quickly went to arrange the vehicle.
Within the hour, Tyson arrived at the Lynn family estate.
As soon as he stepped inside, he heard the soft sobs of Elaine drifting down from upstairs.
He began ascending the staircase and asked the maid beside him, “What happened?”
“It was… it was the newly recognized young lady from the Sue family–Ms. Sue barged in without warning. brought people with her, and smashed up the house. Our young miss was terrified and still hasn’t recovered. That Ms. Sue was outrageous! She not only seduced Mr. Hayes but also hurled cruel insults at our young miss. Ms. Elaine has always been frail. How could she possibly endure something like that?”
The maid dabbed at her eyes as she spoke, stealing glances at Tyson’s face for his reaction.
She had done exactly as Ms. Elaine instructed, though she didn’t quite understand why these words had to be said to Tyson.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to tell Nolan directly?
Then maybe he’d finally see Eliza for who she really was.
Feigning surprise, Tyson asked, “Is that so? And how is Ms. Elaine now?”
“She’s in the study, crying her heart out.”
The maid promptly led Tyson to the study and stepped aside after opening the door.
Julio gestured for Tyson to enter and closed the door behind them.
“Mr. Hayes, please, you have to help me!”
Elaine’s face was pale, streaked with tears, her expression one of heartbreak. “I don’t even know what I did wrong. All I did was have a small misunderstanding with Ms. Sue in Nolan’s office the other day, and now she’s come to destroy my house! I’m supposed to be the future Mrs. Hayes–how could she humili: like this? Uncle, I’m begging you, please help me.”
She looked so pitiful that even though Tyson knew she was only telling half the truth, he played along.

“No! I saw it with my own eyes–it was Eliza! She barged in with her people and trashed the place. They

The more she spoke, the more she wept.

If she handed Tyson a weapon against Nolan, he’d discard her the moment she lost value–and Matteo or Eliza might come for her afterward.
She wasn’t stupid enough to make that mistake.
Tyson, watching her cry, could tell she wasn’t being completely honest.
But he didn’t call her out on it.
After all, she had just handed him the perfect excuse to reprimand Nolan in front of the shareholders.
That alone made this visit worthwhile.
Helping her to her feet, Tyson said warmly, “I know you’ve suffered, and as Nolan’s elder, I’ll make sure he hears about it. As for Eliza… well, she may be the daughter of Westbrook’s wealthiest family, but even I can make sure she keeps her distance from Nolan. You have my word.”
