The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance
Chapter 199 The Final Blow
Tyson’s laughter was sharp and mocking.
“You think you can help me deal with Nolan?” he scoffed, his tone soaked with disdain. “Do you even hear yourself?”
Turning slightly, Tyson gestured toward Julio. “Get them out of here. I don’t want to see them again.”
“Yes, sir.”
Just as Julio moved to act, Naomi cried out, panic seizing her voice. “Sir! Keep me–please! I’m useful!”
Tyson’s brow lifted slightly, more curious than impressed. “Oh? And how exactly are you useful?”
“I can help you take down Eliza! The Sue family cherishes her. If something were to happen to her, they’d be thrown into chaos!”
Naomi’s voice trembled, desperation lacing every word. She couldn’t afford to be expelled from Claire University after just starting. Now that the Rivers family had fallen, she had nothing left–if she lost this too, she was finished.
But Tyson only gave a cold chuckle.
“You really are pathetic,” he said, voice icy. “You grew up in the same house, yet you turned out so much dumber than her.”
Naomi froze, stunned.
“If you could actually take Eliza down, she never would’ve made it this far, let alone get acknowledged by the Sue family. You’re nothing but a joke–ignorant and blind to it.”
With that, he waved his hand again, fully done. “Get them all out of my sight.”
Julio didn’t hesitate. He had long grown tired of the Rivers family’s shamelessness. Within moments, Naomi, Nathan, and Evelyn were forcefully thrown out of the building like garbage.
Outside, the three were disheveled, humiliated, and still struggling to accept their new reality—when Nathan’s phone rang.
He answered it with trembling fingers.
“Sir!” his secretary cried, excitement in her voice. “Someone just called. They’re offering to buy the company! That means… we might not go bankrupt after all!”
Nathan was stunned for a beat–then overjoyed. “Heaven hasn’t turned its back on us! There’s still a way
out!”
Evelyn and Naomi rushed to his side, confused.
“What is it?” Evelyn asked.

Nathan, unable to hold back his grin, shared the news. “Someone wants to buy Rivers Corp. If it goes through, we’re saved!”
Relief washed over them like a tide.
Naomi clutched her chest, eyes bright. “That means we’re still the Rivers family! I’m still a socialite!”
Wasting no time, the three hailed a cab to the company. There, their secretary greeted them in a flurry.
“Who is it? Who wants to buy the company?” Nathan asked quickly.
“I don’t know. She’s a young woman, very familiar–looking…”
Just then, they reached the main office–and their expressions turned to stone.
Sitting in the president’s chair, idly twirling the keys to the office in her hand, was none other than Eliza. Beside her, Nolan lounged on the couch, looking effortlessly smug.
Naomi’s face twisted in disbelief.
“Eliza?! You again?! Who gave you permission to sit in my father’s chair?! Get out of there right now!”
She lunged forward, but the secretary blocked her.
“She’s the one who made the offer to acquire the company.”
“What?! Are you kidding me?! She’s not here to help–she’s here to rub salt in the wound!”
Naomi seethed, livid that Eliza had returned yet again to flaunt her victory.
But Eliza remained calm, almost amused.
“Don’t get so worked up,” she said casually. “I’m here for a legitimate acquisition. Unless, of course, you’d rather be left bankrupt?”
Nathan’s gaze sharpened. “What do you want?”
“The Rivers family has been around Westbrook for a long time. I’m willing to buy the business. All you need to do is sign.”
Nathan narrowed his eyes. “Why would you do something so kind?”
Eliza smiled. “Because there’s a condition.”
“What condition?”
“I want everything under your name. All of it.”
The room dropped into stunned silence.
“What?!” Evelyn and Naomi cried out at once. “All our assets? Are you insane?!”
“Dad, don’t listen to her!” Naomi shouted. “Why should we give her everything we own?!”

Finished
Eliza leaned back in the chair, voice icy and poised. “You’re free to walk away, of course. But let me remind you–once you do, your company will collapse. And when it does, those shareholders you conned out of millions will come for blood. They’ll make sure you cough up every cent. Compared to that, my offer is merciful.”
The room stood still, tension thick as oil.
They were being given a choice: lose everything now and leave with some shred of dignity, or refuse and face total annihilation.
And Eliza sat in the chair like a queen–calm, poised, and perfectly aware that they had no choice at all.
