Heiress’s Second Chance at Vengeances
Chapter 389 The Trap Springs Back
Naomi never expected Eliza to be prepared.
“You… you!”
Naomi’s eyes burned with rage.

Eliza remained calm and unhurried. “Oh, by the way, I already called the police on my way here. They should be arriving any minute now.”
The moment the thugs heard that the police were coming, they panicked.
They’d done more than enough dirty work under Nathaniel’s orders to land themselves in prison for life.
And no one would be able to save them.
Just then, the sound of police sirens rang out from a distance.
The thugs scrambled in fear.
“Run! Get out of here!”
They nearly pissed themselves as they bolted, stumbling and crawling to get away.
In seconds, Naomi was the only one left.
“Get back here! All of you, get back!”
She tried shouting them back, but it was useless.
When things went south, those thugs could run faster than anyone.
Once everyone was gone, Naomi glared at Eliza. “You–you just wait!”
“Oh, I’m waiting.”
Eliza chuckled. “I let them go, sure. But I never said I’d let you go.”
At her signal, Eliza’s bodyguards closed in, surrounding Naomi.
Naomi stared at her in disbelief. “What do you think you’re doing? If you touch me, Nathaniel won’t let you off the hook!”
“I’m the Sue family’s heiress. You laid a hand on me, and I caught you. If anyone’s in trouble, it’s you. Nathaniel won’t lift a finger for you unless he’s got a death wish.”
Eliza’s words made Naomi panic.
She tried to keep her voice steady. “Don’t forget–I’m pregnant. I’m carrying the Hartwell family’s child! Even if he doesn’t care about me,/Nathaniel will definitely come after you for his baby! I’m warning you, Eliza, don’t start something you can’t finish. This is Westbrook. The Sue family doesn’t have reach here!”
Eliza gave her a slow, knowing/smile. She stepped closer and looked Naomi dead in the eye. “You and I both know exactly whose baby you’re carrying.”

“You…”
Naomi’s face twisted with shock.
She couldn’t believe Matteo had told Eliza something that important.
Moments later, the police arrived on scene.
Naomi instinctively tried to run.
But the bodyguards blocked her path.
“Who called this in?”

One officer stepped forward. Eliza replied, “I did. This woman tried to kidnap me, and she’s involved with organized crime. The thugs ran off just before you got here. I’d appreciate it if you took her in for questioning.”
“Eliza! You-”
Naomi seethed, but before she could say more, someone else stepped out of the police car-
Elaine.
The second Naomi saw her, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Elaine rushed to Eliza’s side, concern all over her face. “Ms. Sue, are you
all right?”
Eliza furrowed her brows, clearly confused.
“I had a feeling Naomi might try something, so I called the police. But I didn’t expect you’d think the same way. Guess we’re in sync, huh?” Elaine said with a faint smile.
“Elaine! What are you saying? You were the one who-”
“Naomi,” Elaine cut in, her voice sharp, “you’ve done nothing but awful things. Now you’ve finally brought this on yourself. Don’t try to drag anyone else down with you. Officers, please take her away and interrogate her thoroughly.”
She clearly didn’t want to hear another word from Naomi.
The officers didn’t hesitate. They cuffed Naomi and dragged her away, ignoring her desperate protests.
Eliza watched the whole thing, her gaze locked on Elaine.
She hadn’t expected Elaine to show up here–especially not with the police.
Elaine was the one who’d used Nolan’s phone to send the text and lure her out. Eliza was sure of it. She had to be working with Naomi.
What else could explain it?
And yet here she was, standing in front of her, playing the concerned friend. She even called the police ahead of time.
None of it made sense.

“I’m a little embarrassed to admit this,” Elaine said, her expression calm. “Naomi called me about an hour. ago and asked me to help lure you out. She said she just wanted to have a private talk with you. I thought something felt off. So while I did what she asked, I also called the police–just in case. I would never let her hurt you.”
“Well then, I guess I owe you my thanks, Ms. Elaine.”
Eliza offered a faint smile—but there was no warmth in her eyes.
That kind of flimsy lie might fool a child, but not her.
Because even without Elaine’s so–called help, she was never in any real danger.
