The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 554

There was a sharp crack.

Ella’s fist was clenched so tight that her nails broke right into her palm. Her clear eyes turned red, burning with shock, anger, heartbreak, and a pain so sharp it almost knocked the breath out of her. She had guessed her father was killed by these people, but hearing the truth still hit her like a punch to the chest. It was almost impossible to process.

The ones who did it were all members of the Irvine family. They weren’t strangers. They were her father’s closest people. His own wife, his brothers, their wives, and Grandma Jill. Even though her dad was adopted, he had always treated Grandma Jill like his real mother.

When Grandma Jill showed up, her father had stopped fighting. It was Grandma Jill herself who forced the poison into his mouth. Ella couldn’t stop thinking about how much pain and hopelessness her father must have felt as he died. In his final moments, he was calling her name. Calling for her. Ella, Ella…

Tears blurred her vision. She didn’t know what her father was thinking, crying out for her at the end. She never even got to say goodbye.

Her lashes quivered. Fat tears spilled down her cheeks.

Rachel watched Ella’s pain and felt a twisted thrill run through her. She was the daughter of that woman, the one Peter had spent his whole life protecting. Making Ella suffer, breaking her down, brought Rachel more satisfaction than anything else.

Rachel let out a cold laugh. “Ella, I’m not scared to tell you everything now. Even if you know, there’s nothing you can do about it. Nothing at all.”

Ella took a shaky step back, but Lilly was there, steadying her with a worried hand.

“Ella, are you okay?” Lilly asked softly.

Ella shook her head, voice quiet. “I’m fine.”

Lilly shot Rachel a look full of rage. “You’re a monster. All of you. You’re going to pay for what you’ve done!”

Rachel rolled her eyes. “And just when is that gonna happen? We’re all doing just fine. The Irvine family is thriving. But you, Ella, you were dumped in the countryside. Even your moment of heroism was stolen by Jessa, and now she’s the billionaire’s daughter. Karma? Please. That’s just another pretty lie people tell themselves.”
