Chapter 193 Retribution Comes Due
“Christian! You have to believe us–we’re the victims here! We didn’t know the DNA test results would turn out like this!” Naomi desperately tried to explain, her voice rising with panic.
But Eliza, calm and sharp, stood to the side and said, “The DNA results were clear. You and Tyson colluded with the hospital to fake it. Did you really think your plan was flawless?”
Naomi’s face twisted in horror. “How… how do you know?”
She turned to Christian. “You knew too?”
Christian said nothing, but his cold expression said it all. Naomi’s lips trembled. “So all of you knew… and you were just playing with me?”
Christian leaned lazily against the back of the sofa. “The Rivers family is great at playing the victim. Well then, let me be clear–even if I was messing with you, you’ll take it and deal with it. Because now it’s my turn to settle the score.”
The pressure in the room shifted instantly. Christian’s presence became suffocating.
Naomi stood frozen, her bodyguards already locking down her arms. She struggled, but it was useless.
Moments later, a commotion rose from outside the villa–her parents‘ voices shouting.
“What are you doing?! Let go of us! Our daughter is the Sue family heiress! If you dare lay a finger on us, she won’t let you off!”
Evelyn’s shrill voice rang out, but the guards ignored her completely.
“Get your hands off-!”
Evelyn’s rant stopped abruptly as she was dragged into the room and saw Christian seated calmly on the sofa, staring down at them like a god among insects.
“Mr… Mr. Christian?” Evelyn’s face went pale.
She hadn’t expected to be facing him.
Her instincts screamed at her to flee, but she didn’t get the chance. Two guards flanked her and held her arms down.
Evelyn immediately changed her tone. “Mr. Christian, why are you doing this? We helped you find your sister! Did someone poison your mind against us? Don’t believe them!”
Her eyes turned toward Eliza, burning with venom, accusing her silently of ruining everything.
But Eliza only looked back without emotion. “Funny you say that. But the DNA results say otherwise. I’m not the Rivers family’s daughter. I’m the Sue family’s.”
Evelyn’s face drained of all color. Nathan, standing beside her, turned ashen as well.

Finished
He stammered forward. “Mr. Christian, please–you have to believe me. I would never lie to you, I swear I
Before he could finish, a guard kicked him to the floor with a heavy thud.
Nathan, the so–called pillar of the Rivers family, crumpled in front of his wife and daughter–something neither had ever seen before.
“Dad!”
“Darling!”
Naomi scrambled toward him. Her face contorted with fear. “Christian! How could you hit my dad? This isn’t our fault–you misunderstood!”
Christian let out a dry laugh. “You forged documents, lied to me, and still have the audacity to play innocent?”
Now he saw it all clearly–this entire family was built on deceit.
He rose from the sofa slowly and looked down at Nathan like he was scum. “Go on then–tell me. Do you know what happens to people who try to fool the Sue family?”
Nathan shivered violently.
The Sue family weren’t just rich. They were dangerous. Ruthless. Feared in both legal and illegal circles. They didn’t need to ruin someone–they could erase them.
Nathan dropped to his knees. “We were desperate! Please, Mr. Christian, have mercy! We raised your sister for so many years–surely that counts for something?”
Christian’s eyes narrowed. “You abused my sister for over a decade and now you want mercy? Isn’t that a bit late?”
Nathan flinched at the words.
Evelyn quickly turned to Eliza, collapsing to her knees in front of her. She clung to Eliza’s leg, crying, “Elizze! We raised you, even if we weren’t perfect! Ten years of raising you has to count for something! Please–ask Mr. Christian to spare us!”
“Yes, Eliza!” Naomi added frantically. “You were part of our family for so long–you wouldn’t just stand by and let the Rivers family be destroyed, right?”
Their panic was written all over their faces. They knew that if the Sue family decided to retaliate, the Rivers family would be wiped out overnight.
And this time, no one would be coming to save them.
