Reborn Fake Heiress Watch the Whole Family Burn novel Chapter 864

Hearing the confession straight from Lorna's mouth, Charles felt his entire world collapse. "You... you bitch. You lied to me! You actually conned me! You were never the Ellington heiress. You were playing me from the very beginning!" "I didn't lie to you! I never once said I was the heiress. On my first day at work, you all just assumed I was some rich girl. You put that label on me. It had nothing to do with me. And then you all kept sucking up to me, flattering me, and I just got lost in it. Charles, I never planned on impersonating the heiress. You guys forced me into it!" Smack! Charles slapped her hard across the face. Lorna stared at him in utter disbelief. The man who had always treated her like fragile glass had just struck her. "You... you hit me! Charles, I'm the most important person to you. I'm the love of your life. How could you hit me!" "If you aren't the heiress, then Theresa is. Why didn't you tell me? Why!" "I only found out later too! Charles, please forgive me. Didn't you say it yourself? You said you didn't care about my family background. You said you loved me for who I am. You said you were with me because you loved me. Did you forget? So, whether I'm rich or not shouldn't matter to you! Why are you so angry?" Seeing Lorna's sickeningly naive expression made Charles laugh bitterly. "You stupid bitch, that was just a line to string you along, and you actually bought it? You have neither the looks nor the figure. Compared to Theresa, you are absolute garbage. What made you think I would ever actually fall for you? Did you really think you were that charming? Did you think I was some romantic fool? Let me tell you right now, if it weren't for your supposed wealth, I wouldn't have even looked twice at you!" Lorna's eyes widened in horror. She couldn't believe everything Charles had said was a lie. From the very beginning, he was only after the money. "Charles Pembroke, you're disgusting! You played me! You jerk! You absolute bastard!" Lorna practically went feral, grabbing onto Charles's shirt and screaming in his face. Charles responded by backhanding her across the room. "Get out! You useless bitch. Do you know how much money I've blown on you lately? I burned through my entire savings and went into massive debt just to pamper you. And it turns out you're a fake! You're nothing but a fraud, and you played me for a fool! I will make you pay for this!" The more Charles thought about it, the angrier he got. He grabbed Lorna by the hair and aimed a brutal punch at her face. "Ah!" Lorna let out a blood-curdling scream. She was being beaten mercilessly. "Let go of me! Help!" "Help me! Stop! Please stop!" After finally venting his rage, Charles sat back in a chair, lighting a cigarette. His mind was an absolute mess. He had bet on the wrong horse from the start. Theresa was the real heiress. He had actually liked Theresa originally, and she was the first one he had pursued. But he had eventually given up. Then Lorna showed up, and he had completely written Theresa off. If Lorna had never been in the picture, he could have easily won Theresa over. In the end, it was Lorna who had ruined his life. Filled with renewed spite, he stood up and delivered a vicious kick to Lorna's ribs. "Ah!"
