The Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeance
Chapter 335 Breaking Point
It was already midnight. How was anyone supposed to get any sleep?
“Go down there and tell them to quiet down!” Evelyn snapped.
“How am I supposed to do that?” Nathan replied.
Her face darkened. “You want me to knock on their door at this hour?”

Nathan knew she was right–it wasn’t a good time to confront them. He could only take a deep breath and say, “Then wait until tomorrow to talk to them.”
“Forget it,” Evelyn sighed. “They’re young. It’s normal. There’s no way they’ll keep this up every night, right?”
But to her horror, the noise continued for three days straight.
Every night, loud thuds and crashes came from downstairs. And now, they’d started doing noisy renovations during the day too. The volume was excessive–deliberate, even–making it impossible for Nathan and Evelyn to rest, day or night.
Evelyn had gone down several times to complain, but each time, she was met with such over–the–top friendliness that she didn’t know how to respond.
When Eliza heard her employee’s update, she could picture Evelyn’s expression perfectly.
Her dear adoptive mother had always cared about appearances more than anything. She loved putting on a show. And when someone greeted her with warmth and respect, she couldn’t help but play the part of a dignified lady in return.
Now let’s see how she and Nathan plan to handle this.
“What’s going on with Naomi?” Eliza asked.
“We followed her to a residential complex,” the employee replied. “She’s been inside for three days now- hasn’t come out once.”
“She hasn’t left at all?”
Eliza was slightly surprised. She hadn’t expected Naomi to hole up somewhere for this long.
She already knew Naomi didn’t own any property in that building.
Something was off.
“Keep watch at the entrance,” Eliza instructed. “I want to know exactly what she’s up to.”
“Understood.”
Eliza hung up the phone.
She knew Naomi all too well.
There was no way she was sitting around doing nothing. Naomi had to be scheming–planning her next
move.

The only question was, what kind of plan?
Meanwhile, over at Christian’s place…
Naomi was starting to feel suffocated.
She’d been holed up in his apartment for three days already. Surely, by now, she was pregnant?
When Christian returned home from work, Naomi was curled up on the couch.

For the past few days, they’d been tangled up in each other constantly–at least three times a day. Even Christian, oblivious as he was, had started sensing something wasn’t right.
But whenever he asked, Naomi brushed it off.
After each round, she even handed him a generous “tip.”
It satisfied his physical needs and lined his pockets, so he kept his mouth shut and didn’t ask questions.
Tonight, Naomi looped her arms around his neck with a pout.
“I think my face is healing,” she murmured. “When do you think I’ll be fully recovered? Or… is there some other way to speed things up?”
Christian sighed and gave her a grave look. “No. You need at least a month. Any earlier, and you’ll suffer side effects. At that point, not even I could help you.”
“What if I only wear it for one hour?” Naomi pleaded.
She stared at him, hoping he’d give her the answer she wanted.
But Christian hesitated.
Eliza’s words echoed in his mind: Leave the synthetic skin out in the open. Naomi will come asking for it herself.
He hadn’t believed her at the time.
But now… Naomi really was willing to risk everything for her looks.
Christian shook his head on the surface, but that night, he took the box containing the synthetic skin and placed it on his desk in plain sight.
Naomi had just finished showering when she spotted it.
The moment she saw the mask, her eyes lit up.
Who says I can’t wear it?
Last time, it only went wrong because I wore it too long. This time I’ll only keep it on for an hour–nothing bad will happen.
Clinging to that hope, Naomi quietly took the mask.
When Christian returned and saw it was gone, he pretended not to notice.
Their deal was done. She’d taken the product. His hands were clean.

Naomi, seeing that he didn’t react, felt completely at ease.
She began preparing to leave the next day.
She’d already been away for too long.
If she stayed out of Nathaniel’s sight much longer, some other woman might slip into his life.
She had to secure her place. No matter what.
